Jane I sat by the window of my house. It had been a year and three months, and I had let go. My babies were growing well; they were six months old, adorable and peaceful. As much as I was heartbroken, they filled my heart with a different kind of joy. Sometimes I would tell them stories about how their fathers saved me from the evil green dragon. I knew they were too little to understand what I was saying but told the stories anyway. In those moments, I was happy. James and Philip might have abandoned me on earth, but I wasn't alone. They gave me two beautiful sons I would love with all my heart, and I was grateful for it. I was staring out my window when a strong breeze hit my face. I closed the window's glass immediately and soon heard a knock on my back door. Why not my front door? There was no exit at the back. Whoever was at the back had to have passed through the front, but I did not see anyone come through. The knock was incessant, so I went to check who it was. "Who is it," I
James. A full day had passed, and the committee was still deliberating on our request. I was very nervous, and Philip was apprehensive. Maybe we shouldn't have come. Jane would have given birth by now. I felt like a complete arsehole. How could we have left her pregnant by herself for this long? If only it were possible to go and come back, But our time did not work that way. We need to lend our fire before we return. If we returned without giving the fire through ascension, we would not be able to come back and save Reghan. This was bad. I wondered how Jane was managing without us. I knew how she got when we left her alone for too long. I did not know what we would have to deal with when we returned. What if she freaked out and decided to have an abortion? I wouldn't be able to fault her for it because we had been shitty by leaving her alone. It was her right, but I hoped she would hold on. I really prayed she would hang on for us. "Why is it taking them so long? Is Austen's head
Jane. EIGHT MONTHS LATER. I focused on my work. People at the office congratulated me on my marriage to Philip O'Connor. They asked me how the three of us managed even though I was married to the older brother. It was a weird explanation, so I didn't bother and let them assume what they liked. Every night, I would go home and sleep on an empty bed. Amrah did not spend much time with Nikolai, so she did not miss him like I did James and Philip. I would often cry myself to sleep and wonder when they would return. I stopped checking time and counting the dates so I did not sink into depression more than I had already. Somehow I began to suspect they might not return. When Philip said one year, I thought he was joking, but now that I was almost due, I feared they would be gone for over a year. Alexi had told me that the longer they were in their world, the longer it would take for them to return, and I cursed my heart for falling too deeply in love with them. Martha told me the most in
Philip. We left for Reghan in the morning. Using our orb, we opened a portal. Nikolai was with us. His bond with Amrah was strong, but their hearts were still learning to love each other, so there wasn't too much display of emotions between them. Jane could not hold her tears, and my heart broke at the sight of her pain. We walked through the portal, hoping that we would return in no time. I prayed she would still be ours when we returned. Knowing that time counted differently in our world, we needed to move fast. I did not want Jane to stay without us for too long. So we sent Nickolai to announce that we had arrived and set up a meeting with the committee for ascension. I could feel the imbalanced energy in our world. It meant we needed to move quickly and ascend the throne. "Do you think she will be okay?" James asked me, and I patted his shoulder. "We have to hope so for both our sakes. Leaving our mate pregnant and alone was the worst thing I have ever done, making me hate this
James Jane had asked us valid questions which we could not answer. This was a complicated thing to do. She had needs. It would be wrong for us to ask her to suffer. It might seem like a few hours to us in our world, but it would be months for her here. It was too much to ask her to bear, yet we could not take her with us to Reghan. She stood up and went straight to my bedroom. Usually, we slept in Philip's room together, she decided to go to my bedroom instead. I did not know what to do. "What can we do?" I asked Philip, and he was equally clueless. "Maybe we should take her along?" I asked, and he shook his head. "Austen has gone there with his treacherous friends; Gary has been sent there too. We do not know what will be awaiting us there. There is no way they would make it easy for us. She is safest here. There she will be in danger, especially from royals. Families with daughters they feel should be queen. Dragons will never bow to a human. We are going there to ascend and fig
Jane Nikolai explained everything about the dragon world to me and Amrah, who was slowly getting comfortable with the revelation. "Have they disbanded the order?" Nikolai finally asked me, and I did not know if it were safe to give him such a piece of vital information. If he were indeed a prince, he should know. He should be at the meeting. "Why didn't you go for the meeting?" I asked him, and he frowned. "I wasn't physically here until now. What you saw was an apparition of me. I was watching over you with hopes that you would be the one. You see, time was already running out for us to hold power, and we were desperate. It was paramount that the princes found their Mate, I could not come here physically, or there would be an imbalance of strength. That was why I could not interfere." he explained, and it seemed plausible. "I do not know what they are doing," I said in response to his initial question, and he smiled. "You will be good for Reghan. Queen Jane Algot," he said, and
