Do you want to hold her? Qhuinn asked.Xcor recoiled as if someone had inquired whether he’d like a hot poker in his hands. Then he recovered, shaking his head as he made a manly show of scrubbing his tears away like they were permanent marker on his cheeks. I don’t think I’m quite ready for that. She looks…so delicate.She’s strong, though. She’s got her mahmen’s blood in her, too. Qhuinn looked at Blay. And she’s got good parents. They both do. We’re in this together, people, three fathers and one mom, two kids. Bam!Xcor’s voice got low. A father…? He laughed softly. I went from having no family, to having a mate, a brother, and now…Qhuinn nodded. A son and a daughter.

They’ll never find the body.The two of them pounded knuckles and looked so dead serious that Layla had to roll her eyes. But then she was smiling. You know something? she said to the three of them. I really believe…that it’s all going to be okay. We’re going to work it out, together, because that’s what families do. As she rose up on her tiptoes and kissed her male, she said, Love has a way of fixing everything…even your daughter starting to date.Which is not going to happen, Xcor countered. Ever.My man, Qhuinn said, backing him up. I knew I liked you—Oh, for the love, Layla muttered. ― J.R. Ward
