“I’m never going to get enough of you,” he said. “I love you, Freya.”

The future was uncertain, but then, it always had been. The TEV would probably fight back, but Freya was ready now. Having found Kory again, her determination had resolved. She was part of this fight, part of this world, and Earth
would
be free again. Of that, she no longer had any doubts.

Epilogue

The activity on the mountain was unlike anything Freya had ever seen. She stared in wonder as thousands of humans swarmed in and out of the passageway, the one she remembered escaping through years ago. Interspersed with the humans were TEV soldiers, and she tightened her grip around Kory’s hand.

He looked down at her. “They are like me,” he said, accurately reading the apprehension on her face.

She nodded, trying to be brave. Seeing so many TEV faces among her species was still startling.

“Come, Freya. Meet my brothers.”

He pulled her along and soon they were surrounded by many big warriors, all greeting Kory as he walked steadily through the throng of men. She sensed their curiosity, but she kept her gaze focused on the ground.

“Kory, it’s good to see you,” a deep voice greeted. “It was a successful mission?”

“Yes. In more ways than one.”

He pulled her forward and Freya chanced glancing up. A tall, black-haired TEV with amazing green eyes smiled warmly at her.

“Hello, I am Niah,” he greeted.

Kory’s leader
. “I’m—”

“Freya?” a feminine voice asked, and they all looked to the side.

Freya’s eyes widened in shock as she saw Bree standing before her. It had been years since she’d seen the other woman, and by the way she held Niah’s hand Freya knew she had to be the wife of the leader. The coincidence was staggering.

“I can’t believe it,” Bree said. “I thought you were dead.”

Freya smiled sadly. “Many times I wished I was. I can’t believe you remember me. You were just a little girl.”

Before she knew it, Freya was enveloped in a tight hug. “Who could forget these red curls of yours? This is truly a day for celebration. I’m so happy you found your way to us.”

Freya looked over her shoulder at Kory. The adoration in his eyes was there for the world to see.

“I had help,” she murmured, and winked at him.

About Beth D. Carter

I like writing about the very ordinary girl thrust into extraordinary circumstances, so my heroines will probably never be lawyers, doctors or corporate highrollers. I try to write characters who aren't cookie cutters and push myself to write complicated situations that I have no idea how to resolve, forcing me to think outside the box. I love writing characters who are real, complex and full of flaws, heroes and heroines who find redemption through love.
