“Well, I certainly don’t want to be a burden,” she murmured.
“You could never be that!” Ravi insisted.
“We love you!” Trina added.
“Yeah, don’t you feel it?” Miraya breathed.
Isabella took a deep breath and nodded.
“It’s real,” Aaliyah promised. “We all feel it.”
“We love each other almost as much as we love Lord Evan,” Rebecca agreed. “It’s the best feeling ever.”
“It took some getting used to for me,” Valerra admitted. “But now, I couldn’t imagine my life without our family.”
“That might be the sweetest thing you’ve ever said!” Polina giggled, and the lady dragon stuck out her tongue before they all laughed.
“So, everything went well in Leyte, then?” Ruslan finally asked.
“Oh, yeah!” I told them everything about our adventure with Lord Calvin, Baron Niall, and the Child of Light. “Then the baby was born, and after everyone loved on him for a while, we headed home for the night.”
“That seems like quite an interesting ordeal,” Julia murmured with a glance at Nike.
“Yeah, I warned everyone about my family,” Nike said and shrugged. “But I’m glad they finally figured things out by the time we left. I think things will be much better there now.”
“And you found out about a sister and an uncle,” I pointed out with a smile. “Not too bad of a day.”
“Not too bad at all,” he agreed.
“So, now you move on to Yrosa,” Ruslan mused. “I’ve never been there, though it really isn’t far. I’ve just never had any reason to go.”
“We went near it on a trip to the ocean,” Laika chimed in. “But we were looking for a sea creature, so we didn’t go into the city at all.”
“Then I suppose it’s even better that we have Isabella.” I grinned at the blushing Nepin. “She can show us around.”
“Okay, I’m excited for your trip and all, but I think there’s something else to discuss,” Valerra interjected and stared pointedly at Alyona. “Don’t you have a secret you’d like to share?”
“A secret?” Julia turned with wide eyes to look at the princess. “What secret?”
Alyona looked at me as if to ask if we should tell everyone yet, and I nodded my agreement. It was early in the pregnancy, but in a magical world, things like that tended to get out anyway.
“I’m pregnant!” my wife burst out with a grin.
“Oh, my God!” Emma shrieked before she hurried over and squeezed Alyona. “I’m so happy for you!”
“Thank you!” Alyona gushed.
“Wow,” Julia breathed and turned to Ruslan. “See, I told you that dream wasn’t for nothing!”
“What dream?” I wondered as my father’s cheeks turned a red that nearly matched his furry ears.
“I had a dream that I was a grandmother, and I held the child close to my chest as he cooed and stared at me,” she explained with a fond smile. “He had those brilliant violet eyes, and I just knew he had to belong to the two of you.”
“It was a boy?” Alyona gasped. “Your dream foretells the future.”
“I’m having a boy!” I exclaimed and punched my fist in the air.
“Congratulations, son,” Ruslan said as he shook my forearm with obvious pride. “We must celebrate!”
“Oh, yes, a party!” the dryads cheered in unison.
“Oh, yay, a party,” Valerra deadpanned and crossed her arms over her ample chest.
“It will be fun,” I insisted. “I’m sure Eleanor and Emily will be happy to put together the details.”
“Already working on it!” Emily sang out from the hallway as she breezed through the room and scurried into the kitchen.
“Of course, she is,” Valerra grumbled.
“They’re very enthusiastic,” Ravi observed as she smiled and twirled an orange lock of hair around her finger.
“Very,” my dragon mate confirmed with a grimace. “All the time. I’m convinced they don’t sleep.”
“Well, I think we’d better go get cleaned up before dinner, then,” I cut in before Valerra went on another rampage about her ladies-in-waiting. “Isabella, I don’t have a room prepared for you yet, but I think one of the ladies can help you find something.”
“Thank you, my lord,” she replied as we all rose from the couches.
“Come on, we have some things you can wear!” Marina said, and the dryads grabbed her by the arms to pull her toward the stairs.
After about an hour, we all started to return to the great hall, and I could hardly contain myself as I looked over my women in their glamorous gowns.
The dryads had lent Isabella a stunning black dress that wrapped around her torso and criss-crossed over her back to free her wings, and they fluttered behind her as she walked. She looked like an angel as she glided down the stairs, and the dryads hurried along behind her with wide grins.
“Doesn’t she look magnificent?” Trina exhaled.
“Definitely,” I agreed. “As do you three.”
“Thank you!” Polina squeaked.
The sisters wore matching gold dresses that reminded me of corsets. The tight bodices accentuated the curves of their bodies in all the right ways, and the dresses ended just above the knees.
Valerra waltzed through the doorway behind the four women, and she was wearing her usual flaming-red dress that matched her dragon scales. She winked at me as she sashayed over and pressed a kiss to my cheek.
Then Aaliyah and Rebecca breezed in, and my gaze drifted to the muscular warriors and their sleek black dresses. Aaliyah’s sleeveless dress dipped almost to her bellybutton to reveal the perfect swells of her breasts, while Rebecca’s was higher in the front but dropped to a V down her back almost to her round ass.
Ravi, Naomi, and Miraya walked in behind the other women, and they seemed to coordinate with silver-colored gowns that draped the ground as they walked. The silver made Naomi’s magenta hair and Ravi’s orange hair pop out, while Miraya’s dress made her look even more ethereal than usual.
Finally, Laika and Alyona entered arm-in-arm, and the wolf Demi-Human wore her signature blue color in a slinky dress that wrapped around her hips and flared out just below her knees. My wife wore a pearl-colored gown that skimmed the tops of her feet and lifted her porcelain breasts.
I had to force myself to close my mouth before I drooled all over my own violet tunic.
Emma and Julia walked in behind my lovers, and my aunt let out a low whistle.
“You girls sure know how to dress up for a party!” she commented.
“Aren’t they gorgeous?” Julia agreed with a grin before she turned back toward the stairs. “Ruslan! We’re all ready!”
“Coming!” My father’s voice echoed down the staircase, and he followed right behind it. “Okay, let’s go.”
The next few hours were full of celebration for the new life we were bringing into the world.
My son, the next in line for the Sword of Healing.
And once we were done celebrating him, we would go make the world safe enough for his arrival.
It was time to add to my power, so I’d be one step closer to becoming the most powerful magical being in this world and the next.
