Edward is grateful he's not the family company's CEO and that he doesn't have to make the decisions his brother Henry has to make. He supports Henry, of course, but signing contracts with a fire wielder while they're earth wielders could be dangerous, with Purity threatening them.

Bay is happy working for Dakota, even though he's kind of jealous of his best friend for finding love. He's more than happy to help when the Long brothers, who Dakota's mate is working with now, are threatened. Bay is assigned as a bodyguard to Edward, who's charming and sweet—and it turns out, also Bay's mate.

But Purity is still a threat, especially after it attacks. Faking Henry's death might have been a good idea, but it also could be putting Edward's life in danger, and Bay isn't sure he can stand up to Purity, not on his own, not when Purity has someone working for them on the inside.
