She walked up the stairs beside the bed.As Jenna said, the décor changed over time.The room became lighter and brighter, as if realizing she, too, was lighter in spirit.She looked over the balcony at the large bed below.If she’d been blessed with a mate, they’d have never left that room.Starla sighed and turned back toward the balcony doors.
The day, like most days on Fey, was going to be beautiful.The weather she found was always a perfect mid-seventies with a nice breeze that made you want to sit outside and bask in the morning rays or settle in for the evening.On Earth, people would talk about the perfect weather and how Hawaii would be the place to be.They had no clue that an entire realm actually existed with perfect weather all day and night.
“And here I am, planning to return to a world where the weather was shit on many days.”She leaned against the railing, staring out at the rising suns.“I’m obviously a batshit crazy female.Maybe I should’ve taken Damien up on the medical checkup.”
A gust of wind made several of the majestic trees in the gardens sway.She looked up to the sky, expecting to see Lula’s pink dragon.Instead, her eyes widened at the enormous black dragon soaring across the horizon.A pink dragon that resembled Lula’s followed close behind it, but there was something that Starla sensed differed from her friend’s aura in the latter one.The duo twirled together in a clash of scales and plumes of smoke.
“Wow,” she whispered.
The two dragons broke apart, their heads turning in her direction as if they heard her.Starla stood straight.Her hand went to her chest as she held onto the railing with the other.
She thought of her need for coffee.A cup appeared next to her hand—the heavenly smell of fresh-brewed grounds and vanilla floating up toward her senses.Starla looked down at the large ceramic cup filled with coffee and cream, just the way she liked it.Her Fey magic enhanced since she’d opened her mind to that part of her being, getting easier to manipulate with little effort.She wondered what Aurora would think about her and all the differences she’d gone through, in mind and body.
“Are you ready to return home?”Jenna asked.
Starla felt Jenna’s magical presence before she’d spoken.However, she still shook a little.She took a sip of her coffee before answering.Without looking at the Fey Queen, she nodded.“Yes.But I want to make sure Savage is okay with me coming to wherever it is they are living.If he’s not, I would like to return to our home.The one Aurora and I made a home after we stopped running.I know I won’t be able to go back to high school.”
Jenna shook her head.“No.You’re no longer a seventeen- or, or rather, eighteen-year-old girl.When you return, you’ll have all the appropriate paperwork for your name and age.There will be no questions that you are who you say you are.”
“I’ll handle Savage and Aurora.Give me a few, and I’ll be right back.”Jenna kissed Starla’s forehead.“You can relax, my sweet Fey.I will not lie to you.If there is any hesitation, I’ll be honest with you.Of course, I will hurt him, but I’ll still be honest.”
She tried not to laugh, but thinking of the tiny female hurting Savage and knowing she could was funny.
Chapter Nine
Scepter watched Auroranearly stumble down the stairs.He reached out to steady her as she righted herself.Stepping back, he lifted his hands, knowing Savage was a territorial fucker.He didn’t blame his best friend and Boss.
“Savage,” Aurora yelled.
Trystina appeared from a side door leading from the formal dining room.Her eyes widened with shock.“Aurora, is everything okay?”
“Have you seen Savage?”Aurora asked, stumbling to a halt in front of the vampire female.
Scepter wondered why she didn’t ask him since he and Savage were usually conducting business if he wasn’t with her, but whatever.
He followed Aurora as she rushed inside the dining room, where several members of the clan were sitting around the large table, eating.Aurora’s dark hair swung back and forth like she was scanning the space for her mate.The female needed to learn how to inhale and use her senses for fuckssake.
