Fated Redemption (Kindred of Arkadia Book 8)

by Alanea Alder

Rhys looked around and smiled. He was behind a bar again, he felt like he had returned home. This, he could handle with his eyes closed and one hand tied behind his back. He had just finished setting up behind the bar the way he liked it when he heard a throat clear. “Excuse me, barkeep.” Rhys turned around and smiled. Rian and Damian had taken seats at the bar. “What can I get you, gentlemen?” “Thank god, a real bartender,” Damian exclaimed. “I love Peyton to death, but he couldn’t make a drink for shit. Where is his tweaky little self anyway?” Rian asked. Rhys pointed to where Peyton was chatting with Gina and Cecelia at a corner table. “He’s much better suited as a waiter. He looks happier.” Damian nodded his approval. “He reminds me of a guy I know from Purgatory. Micah was constantly dropping glassware, but insisted he wanted to be a bartender. Roman would damn near cry at the end of every month when we had to shell out money for more glasses.” Rhys laughed. He looked over and Rian was watching him with a strange look on his face. “What?” “You look like you again. Maybe being in your natural ‘habitat’ helps.” “He’s not a damn zoo animal, Ri!” Damian gave Rhys an apologetic look.
