have the license and our rings.â€
    Tyson grinned and caught Libby’s hand. “You can’t get out of it now,†he said and stood very straight, almost caging her in. He held up two rings. “Marry us, too.â€
    â€œCan you do this in front of al these people, Abigail?†Aleksandr asked.
    She nodded and stepped up beside him, fitting perfectly beneath his shoulder.
    Kate and Matt looked at one another, laughed and stepped up beside El e and Jackson. “We’re ready as wel .â€
    â€œAnd us,†Damon said. “Everyone’s already here, Sarah. Let’s get married.†He held out his hand and she took it.
    Hannah and Jonas grinned at each other. “I guess we’re everyone’s attendants.â€
    Jackson slipped his arm around El e and held her while the preacher had each couple repeat their vows. He glanced at the sky as the wind began to pick up a little. Strange, dancing lights formed overhead, almost like the aurora borealis, over the night skies in Alaska. Colors of purples and blue, pink and white were nearly luminous. Several vil agers gasped and pointed.
    As rings were exchanged the sky changed again adding in more colors, green, oranges and reds dancing through the luminous colors, giving off the impression of flames in the skies. Jackson glanced out toward the horizon. He didn’t have a visual on the yacht, but he knew it was out there. He felt the man now, felt him close. He glanced at Bomber. The dog was uneasy and had turned his body to face the sea.
    Waves slapped the shore and poured over the rocks. Far out, the water appeared a dark green surrounded by the deeper blue. And then it foamed white. A cheer went up as the preacher pronounced them man and wife and each couple kissed and was presented to the crowd. It sounded a little strange to hear “Jackson and El e Deveau-Drake.â€
    Dolphins burst out of the water, somersaulted and dove, disappearing back under the foaming sea. Whales breached and birds flew overhead as if in salute. Several seals bobbed heads in the waves, looking toward the beach.
    Applause broke out as the couples moved through the crowd, down the beach toward the white tents. Jackson kept El e’s hand firmly in his.
    â€œI’ve never seen the sky like that,†El e said, uneasiness in her voice.
    â€œDamon had some weird-ass explanation for it. Something to do with humidity and the barometric pressure. I don’t know. I don’t understand half of what he says.†He shook hands with several people and kissed Inez, who kept wiping tears from her face.
    â€œLook beyond the dancing lights, out on the horizon, Jackson.†She squeezed his hand. “The fog is building and it’s thick and dark. His fog. He’s here.â€
    He bent to brush a kiss on top of her head. “Not here, baby. He’s out there somewhere on the ocean.â€
    â€œAnd he’s going to do something. He’s going to be angry that I married you.†Her voice trembled. “And I did turn two of his attacks around on him. His pride won’t take that.â€
    â€œDon’t think about him right now.†The band started up and Jackson pul ed El e into his arms, sweeping her over the sand, her bare feet sliding between his as he kept her close to him, his body warming hers. “Have I told you how beautiful you look? Honestly, El e, I don’t deserve you.â€
    She pressed her face into his shoulder for a moment, but was too worried to stay there long, looking back out toward the sea. Her breath caught in her throat as he whirled her around, forcing her to look at the tents and people who had gathered to help her celebrate. “Look at al the people who love you, baby. Everyone is here.â€
    â€œEveryone I love, Jackson.†Her voice choked now. “He’s going to attack us.â€
    â€œI know.†He said it quietly. “He’l try—and you’l stop him.â€
    El e looked up at his face, saw the resolve there and spun around looking for her sisters. Their husbands danced with them, yet they formed a line between the ocean and the townspeople, as if they were guardians.
    â€œFeel the energy, El e,†Jackson whispered. “It’s al around us. These people care about us, and they’re dancing and singing and celebrating out of love for us. The beat of the music, the laughter, the energy here is
