“Evan?”

His voice.My grump of a captain.

Hot tears sprang to my eyes as I turned to see Maddox and Briar in front of the cottage. Both were dressed for winter, wearing knee-high boots and heavy cloaks, Maddox in black and Briar in dark green.

Rowan lifted my hand and kissed the top of it before setting me loose.

I ran straight toward them, the burn in my throat matching the one in my eyes.

Maddox caught me against his chest and lifted me off the ground, burying his face against my neck. He was shaking. “Gods, I missed you, sweetheart.”

A small cry left me as I caught his scent of leather and warm spice. “I missed you too, big guy.”

He then slammed our mouths together, kissing me so deep it made me weak in the knees.

“What have I told you about sharing, Captain?”

I spun around to Briar. A snowflake drifted from the roof and landed in his light brown hair. His expression gave me butterflies, eyes soft but something strong burning in the depths. “Welcome back, love.”

I threw my arms around him and kissed him. He smelled like magnolia blossoms and honeysuckle. It was a stark contrast to the world of winter around us. But with him, I had an eternal spring.

Maddox retook me in his arms and feathered kisses in my hair while Briar pressed his lips to my temple.

A heavy discussion would need to happen soon. I had to tell them about my parents. That my dad was the prince who’d betrayed Haran and sent the kingdoms back into war. That assassins had killed him and might come after me next if the wrong person learned the truth.

But for now? I soaked up their affection—their love—and sank deeper into their arms.

“I’m home.”

The End
