Lover Avenged (86 page)
“Hot damn.” Wrath clapped his hands like the home team had just scored. “I love a good female.”
“Yeah, me too.” With a small smile, Rehv gathered his shellan into his arms, feeling like the world had righted itself in so many ways. Now if they could just get Xhex back-
Not if, he told himself. When.
As Ehlena laid her head against his chest, he rubbed her back and stared over at Wrath. After a moment, the king’s face shifted away from his queen, like he knew that Rehv was looking at him.
In the quiet of the lovely, pale blue study, an odd communion was struck between them. Even though they were so different on so many levels, even though they shared little and knew each other even less, they were united by a commonality that neither had with any other person on the planet.
They were rulers who sat alone on their thrones.
They were…kings.
“Life is such a glorious trauma, is it not,” Wrath murmured.
“Yeah.” Rehv kissed the top of Ehlena’s head, thinking that before he had met her, he would have cut the glorious out of that statement. “That’s exactly what it is.”
