Dark Alpha’s Embrace Teaser #1
Talin ran a hand down his face. “Are you lonely?”
“What the hell kind of question is that?”
“One that, as your friend, I’m asking you to answer.”
Kyran stared at him a long time before he let out a deep breath.
“When Death asked me to join the Reapers, I knew what the rules were. We tell no Fae who we were, or they die. We develop no attachments to humans or Fae so no one can be used against us. We leave all family and friends behind, letting them believe we’re dead.”
“You still haven’t answered the question. That vexes me.”
“I have the six of you. I have our assignments, doling out justice.”
Talin folded his arms over his chest. “So you are lonely.”
Each time that emotion threatened Kyran, he hastily shoved it away. “We’re Reapers, gifted by Death with more power and magic than any other Fae. We don’t have time to be lonely.”
“Of course.” Talin dropped his arms and turned away.
“You’re lonely, aren’t you?”
Talin halted. Without turning around he said, “Maybe.”
