Born of Defiance (53 page)
Authors: Sherrilyn Kenyon
She smiled up at him. “My anniversary present for you.”
Tears filled his eyes. “You know what this means?”
She nodded. “That I am, and will forever be, of the Winged Blood Clan Batur.”

She was his and he was hers.
No one and nothing would ever again divide them.
