He laughed and appeared depressed, and she stroked his cheek. “Not too long. Don’t worry.”
He grew serious. “Sakura?”
“Hm?”
“I was thinking of taking a position with Deveron.”
She stiffened. “He wants to use you, Adam.”
“Baby, it’s not like I won’t get paid well or that I’ll be a lackey. He’s offering partnership, and I’ll be doing similar work to what I did before as your protector.”
“Except you’ll be the hunter, chasing down shifters who threaten to expose our existence or who hurt humans, and we’re not hurting for money.”
“I know, baby.”
“It’s dangerous,” she said.
“You didn’t think so when you were out in front.”
“It’s not that I’m against it.” She sighed, and he laid the baby in the bassinet then took her hand. She laid her head on his chest and shut her eyes. “I don’t like feeling this vulnerable. I love you so much and little Adam. If I were to lose you…”
“Shh.” He stroked her hair. “You’re not going to lose me. I’m going to continue my training, and with Roger’s intel, much more advanced than what was available in the family, I will have an advantage.”
“I know.” She sighed. “Look how he was able to pinpoint where Kasen was.”
“Exactly. Now your brother is under constant watch. That was all handled without any violence, right?”
She rolled her eyes. “I don’t think he had much of a choice when you and my brothers-in-law threatened his life if he ever harms another shifter.”
“He will never love our kind,” Adam agreed. “But as long as he worries about his own family, he won’t make a move against us. The mental break your father had and discovering his involvement in helping to cover the truth also got to Kasen. He’s not exactly reformed, but I believe he won’t cause any more trouble. So, how about it? Do I have your blessing with the job?”
“Will it mean we have to relocate to Miami?”
“No, we can stay here in San Diego if that’s what you want. I already let Deveron know your happiness is more important to me than anything else. If you don’t want me to do it, I won’t.”
“You’re sweet, but I won’t stand in your way.”
He kissed her lips. “Are you sure?”
“Yes, I’m sure.”
“So, what do you think about a daughter?”
“Imma kill you.”
He burst out laughing, and Sakura joined him, happier and more satisfied than she had ever been. The pain of losing her mother the way she did was still there, but with each passing day, she appreciated the good in her life, like her sisters and their mates, her perfect husband, and now her sweet son. Plus, Savino didn’t know it, but she intended to make him honorary granddad very soon, just one more step in restoring a very special soul. She couldn’t ask for more.
