When prepared for court, he’d leaned down to kiss a sleeping Emeriel on the cheek before leaving. Whatever remnants of exhaustion remained in his body were dulled by her scent and their reawakened bond.

When he stepped into the court corridors, Ottai took one look at him and beamed wide. “Congratulations.”

Soon after, Vladya joined them, looking relieved and equally pleased.

Daemonikai wasn’t sure what had given it away–whether it was the ease in his muscles, the subtle satisfaction clinging to his every step, or the unmistakable calm that had settled over his presence–but they had both seen it. They knew his instincts had been sated, that his bond with Emeriel had returned.

“You have no idea how glad I am,” Ottai’s voice carried emotion.

Daemonikai snorted. “I think I do, actually. It’s written all over your face, Ottai.” He turned to him. “How is Morina?”

Ottai grimaced. “Full heat recovery is a bitch, but she’s doing better now, thank Ukrae. I hate seeing her in pain.”

“Don’t we all,” Daemonikai murmured, clasping Ottai’s shoulder.

As Ottai walked ahead into the court, Daemonikai glanced over at Vladya wearing a sheepish look, unusual for him.

“Look, I want to apologize for the other night,” Vladya said. “For the way I spoke to you. I shouldn’t have—”
