Sweet Delight - Protect and Serve, #11

Love can be humanity's greatest strength -- or our biggest weakness. The poet William Blake knew this, and for the longest time I felt as though I'd been born into his Endless Night, my life destined for eternal misery. Tragedy stalked me with the persistence of an insatiable tiger: the death of my mother, my mistaken belief I had caused the death of my partner Detective Mal Blake, the betrayal by Anton, my lover of three years, and his subsequent death at the hands of a demon of the worst sort. But then, out of nowhere, Mal returned to me, and with him came Tommy, a divinely beautiful shifter.
For almost half a year we've been inseparable, a threesome in every meaning of the word. My name is Ciara Callaghan. I'm a cop, and I thought I'd seen love from both sides, seen both the best and the worst it can do. I was wrong. The worst is yet to come.
