Warriors' Providence (Cadi Warriors Book 2)(107)
Dagaa looked to see the beautiful green eyes he thought he'd never lay sight on again. Madhava sat smiling, next to Providence on the bed. Providence leaned in curtaining him with her crimson hair as she pressed her lips against his in the sweetest kiss. Dagaa wrapped his arms around her, gripping her lush body close to his chest.
Dagaa groaned into her mouth.
"Oh, I'm hurting you?" Providence pulled back her face twisted with concern.
"Never." Dagaa replied then stopped.
He actually felt pretty good, just a lingering soreness. Dagaa sat up and pulled back the sheet covering him. He looked in shock at his arm then his leg.
"What in the name of Kali?" Dagaa exclaimed.
He was healed. Not even Jorg could've worked a miracle like this. He looked around the room he shared with Providence and Madhava. Had he imagined everything? Dagaa shifted his tail and looked at its stunted length.
"Sorry the Miran Sona couldn't fix everything." Providence frowned.
"Are you kidding me? I don't care about that. How in the hell? What happened?" Dagaa asked almost too stunned for words.
"I'm glad you don't mind my friend, but I still promise to kick the ass of the warrior that dares to say anything about how long my tail is compared to yours." Madhava said with a sober face.
Dagaa burst into laughter.
"Madhava!" Providence swatted Madhava in the arm.
Madhava grinned as Dagaa doubled over gripping his stomach, he laughed so hard. It felt good. Things had been way too intense.
"I can't believe you just made a dick joke!" Providence grinned as she elbowed his smiling friend.
"Stop. Seriously what the hell happened? How long have I been out?" Dagaa groaned. He still ached from his ordeal. "The last thing I remember is Stone and some of the other males carrying my pathetic tail towards the plateau."
Madhava chuckled at Dagaa's inadvertent double entendre.
"Stop it! It’s not funny anymore!" Providence swatted Madhava again casting a serious smirk at him.
Dagaa wasn't offended. He was amused and touched how Providence defended him against Madhava's jibes.
Madhava tugged her close and kissed the top of her head.
"I'm sorry beautiful. I'm just so relieved. I can't help but make light of everything, now." Madhava said, as he stared at Dagaa, over top of her head.
The look that passed between them spoke more than words ever would of how relieved the brother of his heart was at seeing him whole and hearty, well almost whole.
"Madhava took out the Jurou Biljana." Providence said.
"I have a hazy recollection of seeing the wreckage." Dagaa nodded.
"We sent ropes down the cliff to get you guys but the storm was finally upon us." Madhava said.
"You should've seen it. The twister swallowed up the lake." Providence shivered.
She had one hand resting on Dagaa's chest and one hand on Madhava at all times like she couldn't bring herself to let them go. Dagaa soaked up the sensation. His hand gripped her as she sat between them.
"Then the people that took Providence from her home showed up. They sucked you all into their ship, Providence included. I nearly lost my mind." Madhava frowned at their little mate.
Dagaa had a feeling there was a story there.
"My friend, Cila had been looking for me. She wanted to rescue me from those reptiles and followed them to the Toufik's planet. They were able to heal you. I just can't fathom how everything turned out the way it did." Providence shook her head.
Providence's eyes welled up as she thought on the things that had transpired. Dagaa pulled her head against his chest, reveling in her warmth and touch.
Only the Goddess herself could've worked such miracles. As Dagaa looked down at Providence, he realized just how apt her name was. She was goddess sent, the embodiment of love. Without his precious mate, he would have been dead more than once on this mission. Not only that but without her, his life would be empty. Providence filled the hole in his soul. He was truly blessed.

"We will be landing soon in an area called the Primal Forest. Thank you again for your assistance transporting the Toufik." Dagaa said to the image of Hiroki, their Agurtzane ally, on screen.
"We are honored to assist. I just regret we were unable to assist you more during the attack on the planet." Hiroki burbled.
"Again, no need to apologize. You had a serious hull breach that had to be dealt with, it is understandable. This was not your battle, nor did we expect to be ambushed. All ended well." Dagaa smiled. "There will be a celebration when we land. Our Daimio would be honored if you would join us."
"Thank you. I guess we now know what to expect from the Jurou Biljana if we ever encounter them again. We look forward to your celebration and will see you soon." Hiroki nodded as he signed off.
