Protecting His Mistress (Kindred Tales)

“She certainly took care of Karn and me—and our baby,” she pointed out.
“Babies,” Karn corrected, grinning at her. “I never thought I’d even have one son—and now we’re going to have two!”
“Two sons,” Lilli murmured—she was still trying to wrap her head around the idea.
She vowed to herself that she would raise her sons in the ways of the Kindred. She would be a much better mother than her own mother had been and she would love them unconditionally. They would know she was there for them always and they would grow up to be fine men and wonderful warriors.
Sylvan smiled at her.
“Truly, the Goddess is good.”
“She certainly is.” Lilli nodded. But inside, her mind moved from her own joy to the danger of the girl who was still stuck on Yonnie Six.
Let her be safe, Goddess, she prayed. Protect her with your mighty power!
After all, the Nightwalker Kindred had been framed for a gruesome murder—which they knew he had not committed. But what if whoever had killed his Mistress was still on the loose? And what if they targeted Councilor Imani because she was trying to help the male they’d tried to pin it on?
Lilli shivered at the thought. She would keep the other girl in her prayers, she decided.
Imani would need all the prayers she could get.
