Chapter 934: Reunited
The Skysplitter samurai, lightning already crackling along her heels from raw emotion and unconscious instinct, blinked to him in a burst of electrical force. Her arms locked around his waist, and her cheek slammed against his ribs. She didn’t say a word, just held on as if letting go would straight-up bring the end of the world. Her world, to be more specific.
Lucille wasn’t far behind. She let out a squeal of joy and leapt with the kind of strength that could split stone, her axe long forgotten. She slammed into him from the side, arms wrapping tight around his back with a growled, "You have no idea how much we missed you..." that was all love and no anger.
Seraphiel came next, her hybrid-class-enhanced body gliding across the clearing in a blur. She wasn’t graceful this time—wasn’t aiming for poise. She just grabbed his arm and pulled herself into the cluster, her other hand curling over his shoulder, fingers trembling with relief.
Aurora and Rosie, the slowest of the group, didn’t let that stop them.
Rosie yelled again, "Daddy!"
Tears spilled down her cheeks, hair fluttering in a wild blur. Aurora, nearly tripping over her own robe in her haste, pushed forward right beside her.
They tackled him together.
Aurora flung her arms around his chest, nearly knocking her forehead into his, while Rosie clung to his midsection, her tiny hands fisting his robe with all the strength she could muster.
In mere moments, Quinlan vanished beneath them, swept off his feet and taken to the ground by the full weight of six women throwing their entire hearts into the embrace.
And he didn’t resist one bit.
He hit the dirt with a loud thud, arms already wide, laughter spilling from his chest like music. He was grinning—perhaps the brightest, fullest smile of his life—as he welcomed them all back into his arms.
