“Jason,” I said, holding my free arm out for a hug. But he ignored me. His eyes were locked onto Embers.

“What is happening?” I asked as the two stared at each other in a trance.

“They are imprinting as true mates, Darah.”

When the moment passed, Ember sank to her knees, taking me with her as I held on tight to her hand.

“How can this be? He is dead. How will we be together?” Ember cried.

Jason ran to us and hugged her, “Ember, I will find a way.” He promised.

Suddenly, my little brother seemed so grown up.

“Ember and Jason?” I asked, looking up at Harmony. My emotions felt every bit of sadness from Ember that she could not be with my brother as her destined mate.

“This is cruel for both of them. They deserve happiness just as I have found.” I snapped, looking at the two gods for answers.

“Darah, I will re-birth Jason into my Eden as a phoenix. This will allow him to retain his memories and mate Ember as a grown male instead of being born as an infant.”

Ember was squeezing my hand as she cried into Jason’s neck. Seeing her vulnerable had my heart twisted up. She was usually so formidable and fierce.

“You can do this?” I asked, “Bring my family back to life?”

“Darlin, your mother and I are going to stay here. We like watching over you. Now, we can watch over Jason and Ember. The Gods are making an exception for Jason. We don’t want to prevent that. We are grateful.” My Dad said, smiling at me.

Jason cupped Ember’s cheeks in his hands. He stared lovingly into her purple eyes.

“I am coming to you soon.” He promised, and then he kissed her deeply.

This was weird for me as Ember tried to release my hand and wrap both her arms around my brother.

The two of them were oblivious to the rest of us. I pulled at her hand. I didn’t want to be that close to my brother making out.

I sat there staring up at my parents and the two Gods. I realized my brother would live again and be with Ember. My heart swelled with happy emotions, and I started to tear up.

“Thank your mother for me, Harmony. My brother deserves this second chance at life.” Ember successfully yanked her hand from mine, and we woke up in her bed.

“No, I just wanted to hold him.” Ember cried as we sat up. She hugged me, sobbing.

Chapter 27

Darah

“E

mber, I am sorry you had to meet like that, but I am so happy for you and my brother. He is the best! He deserves to live. I am glad he will have you.”

We hugged each other and just cried. I could not imagine imprinting just to be separated moments later. Candy jumped on the bed to lay over our laps, licking us both frantically. He knew something was sad for us and wanted to fix this.

“It will be okay Ember. We will get you home, and my brother Jason will find his way to you soon.”

I rubbed her back, trying to soothe her. Our wrist alarms broke us apart. Ember took a deep, calming breath.

“Thank you, Darah. I was worrying about my family, and now I have a new mate with a new extended Family. It was hard to imprint just to be separated. That is not natural for my kind.” Ember spoke with emotion as she wiped a stray tear off her cheeks.

“Honey, we are gonna get you home, and you will have your side of the family and our side of the family celebrating you and Jason. We need something great like this to celebrate after everything we have gone through. I am happy to call you, my sister.”

“Darah, there are no sides. We are all family now. Thank you for supporting me.”
