“We should get married,” he declared, and my mouth popped open in shock. I was still reeling from the fact that I’d healed us both, and nowthis!
Keegan grinned ear to ear and his lids lowered into a sexy, smoldering look. “Are youasking?”
Danny groaned. “Yes. I want to be by your side forever. For better or worse. Sickness and health, and all of that. So … will you marryme?”
Keegan shrugged. “I’ll think aboutit.”
Danny gasped, smacking him on the arm. Keegan let out a roaring laugh, but then quickly winced, holding his side in pain. “Of course I’ll marry you, youidiot.”
As they leaned in to kiss, my eyes met Logan’s and I saw that they were more than a littlemisty.
‘That was close,’I toldhim.
He walked over and scooped his hand under my knees, picking me up and cradling me next to hischest.
“Are you hurt?” he askedme.
I shook my head, looking over at the ashy tree. It looked like it had been burnt. Maybe my magic did that, or maybe that was just part of what it had given us. Either way I wasgrateful.
“The tree healed metoo.”
He nodded, meeting my eyes, and was silent for a minute.‘Is marriage something you want? I mean … if you want that, then so doI.’
I laughed.‘I’ve never been a big fan of the whole thing. I think what we have is enough and a piece of paper or a ceremony won’t changethat.’
He grinned.‘But we’re having kids,right?’
I rolled my eyes.‘When I’m like thirty. Stop trying to make babies with me,’Ijoked.
He leaned down and kissed my neck.‘Oh, I don’t think I’ll ever stop trying to make babies with you. It’s too fun.’ Hewinked.
I chuckled. “You can put me down now. I’m not injured anymore,” I said, out loud thistime.
He shook his head. “I don’t wantto.”
I ignored him. “Did we lose anyone?” I asked, while Logan walked me through the woods in his arms, back to the bus and car. Only our inner circle had been present for the Keegan tree healing. Everyone else and Dylan and Maggie were back by the buswaiting.
He shook his head. “No. Thanks to you wedidn’t.”
His words settled into me. Keegan was okay. I was okay. Everything was going to beokay.
“Sloane!” Dylan cried out when we broke through the treeline.
This time Logan did put me down, and I found that my ankle was tender but not as wrecked as it had felt earlier. “Dylan! Maggie!” I waved themover.
“Is your friend okay?” Maggie asked with concern, peering through the trees as if trying to catch a glimpse ofKeegan.
I nodded. “He willbe.”
Dylan was staring at my necklace. He was a tall guy, looked about Logan’s age, but that didn’t mean he was. He had blond hair, green eyes, and an impressive build. He held Maggie’s hand gently in his, shaking hishead.
“You saved us. If you hadn’t come … we’d bedead.”
“I’m just glad we made it in time,” I toldthem.
“That was a complete ambush,” Logan spoke. “A dozen druids to get one dragon. They are trying to wipe us out. More now thanever.”
Dylan held out his hand. “You’re Logan? I’m sorry I didn’t believe you before about being skyborn. Thanks for helping meout.”
