Ben is able to defeat the warlock, then goes in search of Imara in the magical world; they live happily ever after.

Cursed (The Broken Immortals Book 2)

/"Ben, have you seen Mr. Rabbit anywhere?/" Imara yelled back over her shoulder as she stretched her arm along the floor under the kitchen table. /"I can’t find him, and I’ve looked everywhere./"

He came into the kitchen as he pulled his shirt on and smiled at his wife on her hands and knees in front of him. /"Sorry, Baby. He has to be here somewhere, though./"

A puff of air blew her hair off her face as Imara gave up and pushed her hands into her thighs and stood. Two arms wove around her, and two soft lips kissed her cheek. She leaned into him, and he placed another kiss on the side of her mouth. /"Good morning, Mr. Sleepy Head./"

After she patted his arm, he backed away and tucked in his shirt as he licked her taste off his lips. /"Tell me you haven’t been up all night again./"
