He looked up at her, down at the seed, then gave her a heavy-lidded gaze as he slowly stuck out his
tongue. She felt her body turn to liquid. Despite his lack of experience, an instinctive power of seduction
lurked within him, a power she planned to enjoy.
She placed the seed on his tongue and watched it disappear into the wet darkness of his mouth. How is
it? she whispered.
He swallowed, never taking his eyes from hers. I m cured.
She leaned forward and gave him a long, deep kiss, a promise for the rest of the night.
As she poured their wine, she noticed that he hadn t covered his legs, either with the towel or the
blanket. That he trusted her enough to expose himself made her glow inside, even before sipping the
wine.
He savored the drink, eyes closed. Then he looked at her, his face serious again. You have your powers
back.
They re not as strong as they used to be, I guess because we re in the city. I can feel Wolf s presence,
like Adrek said about Cougar. It s faint, but it s there now. I don t know what I did to deserve it.
Remember what I said before? How you couldn t make peace with yourself until you made peace with
your enemy? By accepting my wound, you ve done that. He stroked her arm. In your eyes, I m a hero,
and in mine, you re a warrior. We only had to learn to use each other s eyes to see. He touched her
chin. Do you still think you re a murderer?
She stared at a blank space on the wall and remembered the battle. The faces of those she killed
dredged up a skewering sorrow, but not guilt, not anymore. No. I had to do it. She heard a new
strength in her voice. And I d do it again.
You may, indeed, if Rhia s plan gets us into the senator s mansion.
Alanka thought of Marek sitting in that room, drained of all fierceness. She d get him out if she had to
shoot everyone in the house.
Calm down, she told herself, drawing a deep breath to dissipate the rage. Turned inward for so long, it
begged for a target outside her.
You never had to do anything to deserve Wolf s favor, Filip said. You just had to forgive yourself.
She watched his hand glide over her waist and wondered if she could ever be as gentle with herself as he
was with her. Perhaps he could teach her.
Yes, she said, I ll marry you.
Filip stared at her, and for a moment she thought he might take the offer back. Maybe his respect for her
had vanished the moment they made love. His people s strange ways could be seeping back into him
now that he was home.
Let s do it now, he said.
Get married? At this hour?
Right here. We can t do it legally in Ilios anyway so we might as well take our vows now.
What vows?
He squinted at the ceiling. I think they re mostly about property. We can eliminate that part, since we
have none.
What else do your marriages mean?
He laced his fingers with hers and pressed their palms together. Loyalty. Above family and place of
birth. We become a nation of two. He quirked an eyebrow. And eventually three, four, five&
Two is fine for now, she said.
Two is perfect. He kissed her. What about Kalindon weddings?
They re short and rare. We pledge in the name of our Spirits to love each other forever. It s a hard thing
to promise.
I promise to love you forever, he said quickly, then added, in the name of Horse. He thought for a
moment. That wasn t hard at all.
She laughed, then couldn t stop laughing. She d dreamed of her wedding day since she was twelve, and
now it had come in the depths of her enemies city, lying naked next to a plate of strange fruit.
Filip waited patiently. It s good to hear you laugh, Alanka. But you could have chosen a better time to
recover your sense of humor.
She rubbed her face and became solemn again. Filip, in the name of Wolf, I promise to love you
forever. She kissed him softly.
He gazed at her, as if sealing the moment in his memory.
What do Kalindons do then? he asked.
Everyone eats and drinks until they pass out, then they wake up and eat and drink some more. Then
comes the orgy.
His eyes widened. You re joking.
She giggled. Not a formal one it s just how things usually end up. It s good luck to conceive a child on
a wedding night your own or someone else s. Filip looked at her belly, and she added, We won t
tonight. I ve been taking wild carrot seed for months.
