Dedication
For my fans who insisted Aden had a story to tell.
Chapter One
Aden Gale snuck into the mansion’s garden. He’d stealthily visited Gallen Theos more than once since the sorcerer had been put to sleep by his father with a particularly vicious spell. Gallen lay still and silent in his iron coffin. He appeared to be napping as if one loud noise might wake him up from his slumber. He was like Snow White without the creepy dwarves.
Aden found it oddly restful to visit the unconscious man. Even as he sent others to try to wake the sorcerer up, Aden secretly hoped it would take a while longer. He’d miss his one-sided talks once Gallen awakened. Given his line of work, Aden couldn’t confide in a lot of people, and he scared the crap out of most of them. Although he could share his adventures with his son, he didn’t like to worry Carey. Carey had enough responsibilities without fixating on whether his dad would make it back alive from his last mission.
How are you doing, kid?
Aden settled on the rock beside the filigree iron coffin. He popped the cap off his beer with the bottle opener on his Swiss army knife before settling on the giant rock beside the casket. Anything new happen since last time? I heard you didn’t like any of the guys I sent to visit you. Are you playing hard to get?
No response.
Although logically he hadn’t expected Gallen to sit up and talk, he found himself leaning closer. A glance revealed that the blond continued to lay still as death, not twitching or moving an inch.
Aden sighed. I can’t believe none of the men did it for you.
He took a sip as he contemplated his failure to find the right partner to wake Gallen. Maybe you’re bi like me. I can always start finding women. It’s not like they can do any worse than the guys.
Over the past three months, Aden had sent at least twenty men to the mansion to break Gallen’s curse, but so far no luck. Carey had reported no change after any of the men kissed Gallen. Aden flinched at the thought of a whole other group of people coming and touching Gallen. Maybe he should stick around and supervise, make sure they didn’t touch Gallen inappropriately while he slept.
The sound of soft footsteps drew his attention away from the coffin. Hey, Dad, I didn’t know you were here.
Carey sat down in the Adirondack chair beside Aden. A seating semicircle decorated the garden and surrounded a fire pit. They’d placed Gallen’s coffin to the right, so he’d be included in any outdoor events. Aden wondered if Gallen could hear anything or if he was as asleep as he appeared.
Aden smiled at his son. Since he’d first held Carey in his arms, his son had never been anything but a joy to him. He adored Carey and would take care of anyone who thought to harm him. The number of bodies he had buried to keep Carey alive would frighten a team of FBI investigators.
He tipped a head toward Gallen’s coffin. I just arrived, and I thought I’d check to see if there was any change in his status.
Carey shook his head. Nope. Not that I’ve noticed. A lot of guys marching through here, though. I’ve lost count of the ones who thought they were going to get the chance to mate with a hot sorcerer and went away crying.
Carey’s mocking smile told Aden he’d not had a lot of
