Chapter 123

author pov Nathan lay next to Katia, watching her sleep and thinking about the last week. She had not come back from near death the same. She and Selene had come back less emotionally damaged. They still had physical and emotional trauma, but it was different. Katia no longer acted like a spoiled child testing her new boundaries. Nathan did not know how to explain it except to describe it as a puzzle piece was shoved in the wrong place and someone had removed it, putting it where it belonged. Shaking his head, Nathan grimaced at himself; he was no doctor or anything; he was just another male wolf trying to figure out how not to ruin this new start with his mate. He had noticed that Lucifer did not come out of the incident the same way. Something had happened with the three souls intertwined during that time. Nathan still had no hard feelings for Lucifer, he loved both girls equally and would do anything for them. He and Lucifer had nothing but time while Lucifer held on to their souls, and Nathna spent that time learning about his mate's life in the god realm and in this realm. What it had been like for the three of them to be who and what they were. How devastating it was each time one of the girls returned to this realm for the life they had been granted, and it was ended so violently. Lucifer had explained to him that he did not know if it had something to do with him being an angel or the fact that he was close to the twins, but he felt every excruciating thing that was done to them during those attempts. He withheld that information from the girls until their souls connected and he could hide it no more.
