The look on the Ambroses' faces was that of astonishment. Freyja was shocked, she had always doubted the heritage of the boy her mate had taken in and cared for but she would have never thought that he could be next to royalty. Brian could hardly process what the crone was saying, he was wondering what the odds were; that he and his family had run to warrior's peak in need of a fresh start or that the boy he had taken pity on and had taken in despite Freyja asking him not to was an ancient's only child.
Freyja had always told him he had a soft spot when it came to the weak and helpless but he had only thought he was helping those in need. Now, he doubted that fate didn't have a hand in it. He asked himself questions such as: why had Nymra's strength failed her and made her find a town and why had Aurora's strength given out the moment she arrived at Warrior's peak; the same place he and his family had found refuge. Was it mere coincidence or was it destiny?.
