Chapter 148: Piper: Together Again

"I'm sorry we're in this mess." He licked his lips. "But I'm not sorry I have you back." He gave a hard shake of his head. "I missed you so much, Piper."

I took a deep breath, my shoulders rising and falling heavily. "I missed you, too. I thought about you every second I was gone."

He coursed his hands up my thighs, then back down, his touch warm and self-assured. "I kept thinking about that sleazeball touching you. . ." A low, deadly growl tore from deep in his chest. "I wanted to kill him."

"Hey, that sleazeball is going to be my brother-in-law and the king of the Pendragon Coven. He's really not that bad." As soon as the words left my mouth, a sharp stab of pain hit me. I was no longer part of the Pendragon Coven. I wasn't part of any coven anymore.

"Piper, honey." Jax tenderly cradled my face in his hands, his gaze steady on mine. "It's going to be okay. We will figure this out. If it's the last thing I ever do, I will reunite you with your sisters."
