Chapter 41: Announcement of a Miracle
The crowd gasped at Logan's statement.
"Oh, no you didn't," Laurel said, her tone indignant. She jumped to her feet. Micheal grabbed her around the waist, yanking her back down, and clapped a hand over her mouth. He whispered into her ear and she calmed a bit, but her eyes were shooting death threats at Logan.
Ellis tried to remain calm, but her eyes stung and she had difficulty swallowing past the lump in her throat. Be an Empress. Don't cry. Don't make a scene. Empress’ are calm, dignified. They don't smother their husbands with a cushion, no matter how tempted they may be.
His words had hurt but she took into consideration his shock and confusion. Of course, he wouldn’t believe that he had fathered the first Zothean girl in centuries. No, two girls.
"Carlisle, do you have your DNA reader ready?" Ellis asked, her voice surprisingly calm. Micheal looked

Ellis almost started to follow before she remembered the twins. Both of them were sleeping, their tails entwined."Go," Nin said. "I will watch the little ones."Ellis gave her a quick hug and chased after Laurel. Dorian was seated at the table, his eyes aglow with joy. He kissed his mate and folded his arms around her. "He's hatching fast," he said, and Ellis could see that he was right.A doctor appeared with the DNA reader."Just in time," Ellis said. The baby's shoulder appeared, followed by its head, covered in short, black hair.Dorian lifted the baby out of the egg and let out a strange, strangled cry. He almost dropped the baby. Laurel darted forward and covered his hands with her own to support it."Holy fucking shit," Ellis said mildly. "Another girl."The
The King's Brightest Star Chapter 43: In a State of Vulnerability
"What if we separate the girls from the mass by a glass window?" Logan answered."That sounds like a zoo," Ellis groaned. Logan looked confused by this. "They put animals in small, cramped placed and show them to the people in exchange for money," she explained."That does sound strange.""Moreover, I am not allowing people with ill intentions and thoughts to see my daughters in such a state of vulnerability," she protested. Ellis gave them a short explanation about the heinous crimes committed against children and he looked like he was about to abduct all the children on Earth and bring them to his galaxy to protect them."How about a Council Meeting? We will invite all the members of the council and government departments. We will also invite the presidents of the planets and nation-rulers. They will come if I invite and they can see our daughters and report back to the people about what they saw."Ellis grabbed the notepad from
The King's Brightest Star Chapter 44: Smear Her Name
Ellis sat at the head of the massive care where she had her mating ceremony with Logan. Her beautiful baby girls were laying on her lap, playing with Ellis’ hair. She kept in her flinches as her babies tugged and pulled with fascination. She had lost the argument about nudity. Isabella and Athena were rolling around, their bits in the air. Apparently, the lack of clothing would prove their claim: that her daughters were female. On either side of her, Leo and Logan stood, looking around the room. Nin knelt in front of Ellis, keeping a watchful eye on the people in the room.If Ellis wasn’t on the verge of running out of the room with her babies, she would have been amused by how tense Nin was.

"Ellis!" Logan snapped, slamming a file in front of her. "What have you done?" Ellis cringed. The papers scattered and she started trying to collect them, "I don't know. I'm sorry." "You've ruined everything! You destroyed the Empire!" "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to," Ellis babbled. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," he mocked in a high-pitched voice. “You were so high and mighty. I knew it… you wouldn’t make a good Empress.” "Please, Logan," she cried. "I'm sorry. I'll

Logan blinked as he swung the door closed. “I didn’t have a choice. The babies needed to relieve themselves and Nin held the crowd off.”Ellis thought about the situation carefully. “We could make litter boxes for the babies,” she suggested. Logan wrinkled his nose when she described what she meant. “That sounds disgusting.”“No. It’s safe and we can change the soil every day to make it sanitary for the kids,” she told him. He was reluctant but departed for the kitchen.With Nin by her side, Ellis ma

She thought. “What can I do?” she asked. Micheal had no idea.“I need to see Logan,” she announced.“I will go with you,” Leo announced, getting up and putting down the tray of food. He took the controller from Micheal and switched it back to the hallway feed, studying the image thoughtfully. “Which reminds me… Nadia has been trying to put her name back into the system… She has been very strange, trying to match up with Leo, too,” Micheal said. Ellis turned. “Last time I saw her, she hadn’t taken a bath in a long time and was running down the hallway,”
The King's Brightest Star Chapter 48: Nothing More Than Snakes
They had set up the little camera in the apartment Logan and Ellis shared. Ellis had donned on a plain white tunic. Zothean culture didn’t have a color that they associated with grief, but for Ellis, she felt like she needed to wear her emotions. What those people were going through was devastating. She couldn’t pretend to know how they felt, but she felt helpless being unable to do anything for them.Rumors about her circulated but she paid them no time. She looked around the room one last time before looking back at the camera.“We’re ready,” Laurel commented. Ellis breathed in deeply and nodded. &ld

Ellis forced a smile. It wasn’t about them. It was the circumstance that forced them to move. “You’re right,” she said anyway, “Let’s go.”She stepped out of the door and turned back to watch as Laurel closed it behind her. Nin was waiting outside for them and led them down the halls and up the stairs. Instead of the train platform, they entered an open courtyard. It was still dark and the stars littered the sky, gleaming like a thousand diamonds.“I’ve never seen the night sky,” Ellis admitted. “Their universe is highly matured, so it is densely packed. That’s
