Alanor came to their rescue. It did take him a while to show up but he did and that was all that mattered. Expectedly, the tongue Wynter sorted things out with the rogues and ensured that the mission that Grant, Zelina, and Ulike had been on was a success.

Grant was a man with a mate, a good one who had never caused him any problems, and yet he had easily left without explaining shit to Nour. he had abandoned his mate to go after a man who was never going to look at him the same way.
Perhaps that didn't matter to Grant, because right now, Alanor was his world. So when they were done and settled, Grant figured it was time to ask the question that had been eating him up the entire time.
