Kindred of Arcadia 5
Fated Healing
Felix Kilpatrick survived years of hell in a mad Alpha’s cage and has finally made it to the safety of
Arkadia. To make things even better, his best friend Sebastian has also found his way to Arkadia and
offered to let him live with the Arkadian lion’s pride. He is living it up when he meets his mate. One overly
neat, OCD, fastidious doctor.
Dr. Maddox Claybourne is content with his life in Arkadia. He tends to the occasional broken bone or
contusion that is commonplace in a shifter only town. He is not prepared for a redheaded mate that wrecks
his clinic, ignores his orders, and tries to serve him microwavable pizza!
It will take every ounce of skill between Felix and Claybourne to combat a mysterious illness that
threatens to steal away the lives of those most precious in Arkadia. No one is safe when people begin to fall
ill. Can Felix and Claybourne discover a cure in time? And when they can’t, can they live with the deaths
this virus will leave in its wake?

Prologue
“You’ve done what?” The gentleman asked again, unsure if he understood correctly. There was no way
the man before him was that stupid.
“I have made arrangements for something deadly to be unleashed in Arkadia,” Salsiby said, taking a
step back, realizing maybe his life might be in danger.
“Did I or did I not express interest in this Alpha Mother?” the gentleman asked from behind his desk.
“You did,” Salsiby replied.
“And where does the Alpha Mother live?” the gentleman asked in a singsong voice. Salsiby paled.
“Come on old boy, I know you know the answer. Where does the Alpha Mother live?” the gentleman
asked again, standing.
“A-A-Arkadia,” Salsiby answered, shrinking back.
“Did you think I would be happy to hear about your plans?” The gentleman asked. Salsiby began to
shake and stepped back only to bump into a tall figure.
“Ah Payne, you old devil you. Always anticipating me. Can you please make sure that this man is
tortured to within an inch of his life from now until the second I am sure that the Alpha Mother has
survived his little assault?” the gentleman asked. Payne nodded wordlessly.
“No, please. No!” Salsiby screamed as he was pulled from the room.
The gentleman stared at his expensive hardwood floor. He debated how involved it would be to install a
trapdoor that led directly to the dungeon. That way Payne wouldn’t have to keep manhandling idiots out of
his office. The gentleman sighed and smiled softly. Then again, Payne may enjoy that aspect of his job. Oh
well, something to think about.
Chapter 1
Liam sighed, letting his head fall to his desk with a thump. Kent looked up from his computer and
smiled at his lover.
“Why don’t you take a break and get something to eat? You get grumpy when you get hungry.”
Liam raised his head and leered at his mate.
“I know what I want to eat.” He licked his lips. Kent swallowed hard.
“Food first or you will whine and complain later when you’re too worn out to get up and get something.
Besides, your grandfather needs these reports in by today. He said, and I quote, ‘You don’t get to slack off
just because I’m not there.’” Kent pointed to his computer. Liam frowned but nodded. His mate knew him
too well, and they hadn’t been mated for very long. He was just a lucky bastard. He felt a dopey smile
spread across his face.
“I love you too, now go get something to eat.” Liam’s head snapped around to Kent, who was
chuckling. Damn, was he that easy to read? He shrugged, probably. He stood up and stretched his legs.
Walking past his mate, he dropped a kiss on his soft lips before heading out of their shared office toward
the kitchen. He attacked the kitchen’s supply of cold cuts to make the biggest sandwich he could. He
frowned, unsure of how he was going to bite into the thing. Grabbing a knife he cut it in half. He really
should leave the cooking to Sebastian. His little kitten was a genius when it came to the kitchen.
He picked up his plate and was wandering back to the office when he heard a loud, reverberating
thump. The walls shook. He lifted his foot and set it down. As he took another step, a second reverberation
shook the house. Eyes wide, he lifted his foot and looked around to see if anyone could see him looking
ridiculous, standing on one foot, holding a plate in his own hallway. He waited a second before he chanced
to put his foot down and another thump resounded. Shaken, he was about to call for Kent when a familiar,
heart-stopping roar echoed throughout the house. Sebastian! Where was his mate? He sprinted to the den
and stopped in his tracks as another roar assaulted his ears. In front of him Sebastian, Felix, and Rebecca
were sitting inches from his seventy-inch LED HDTV watching
Jurassic Park
. He watched curiously as
Rebecca rewound and replayed the scene of the Tyrannosaurus rex approaching the hapless human
children’s car. Liam watched in morbid fascination as she rewound it twice more to play the scene and Felix
and Sebastian practically smooshed their faces to the screen. He cleared his throat and the three of them
swung around to look at him guiltily.
“What are you three up to?”
“Nothing,” the three of them chimed in unison. He narrowed his eyes before nodding and walking back
to his office. He couldn’t imagine what they could be up to. He opened the study door and walked in,
setting his sandwich down at his desk. He sat down and stared at his sandwich, thinking about the movie.
“What’s all the noise?” Kent asked.
“Bas, Felix and Becca are watching a movie,” he said absently. They were up to something, he could
feel it.
“Are you done eating?” The question was asked huskily, and Liam’s eyes flew to his mate. Kent had
removed his glasses and was practically stalking him from across the room. With no regard to how he was
going to get air into his lungs, he shoved one half of the sandwich in his mouth and chewed as fast as he
could before downing the other half. Gasping for air, he grinned up at his mate, who was looking down at
him, his mouth twitching.
