MYLOIt took us two long days, but we were finally about to arrive at Sun Shade. I’d gotten a message from my father letting me know they had arrived not long after the kings. While our prisoners gave them no trouble, the concern that they would, was always present. With the kings leading the way, Marcus shouldn’t dare, but he’s proven one too many times how lacking in common sense he was. He knew their reputation, but I would bet on him making his concerns more heard once we arrived with other Alphas in attendance. The kings would temper their responses because of their instincts to protect their image and their heirs, which would give Marcus the floor to vocalize all the ways he’s been wronged. Dahlia had been quiet most of the way here, but I knew that she would be on edge for numerous

  MYLO “You want an heir,” Dahlia’s voice had a certain numbness to it that I wasn’t used to. I thought she wanted a family right away, and when Kai was being vocal about sensing her strong fertility I didn’t give a second thought to it.  “I want a family,” I confirmed, grasping her hands back in mine, lifting them and planting a kiss on her knuckles. “We can wait if you want to-” “But you want a son.” She was waiting on a response, but her statement was something I hadn’t given much thought to. Of course, I wanted a son. I wanted multiple sons, multiple daughters, a family as large as the one I grew up with. We were already mated, marked, and married. We should have had this conversation before everything, and now it’s been brought up awkwardly. 

  MYLO When Marie and Terran arrived they were escorted to an accommodation close to us to get settled in.  Dahlia was pacing back and forth as I fed Nora. Anxious, like myself, to get the next few days over with, but it shouldn’t be long before Alderic is back to get ready for supper. Supper would be a good distraction for her as she focuses on the royals, but it posed another level of worry for me. While the royals never posed a threat to us before, Wyatt was unpredictable at best and I haven't had contact with the heirs often enough to be able to judge their behaviours.  Dahlia's eyes were slightly glossed over as she 'tidied' up the place, pausing at one point and staring out of one of the windows at the front. I pla

  DAHLIA I jolted at the sound when one of the kings cleared his throat.  Watching the Queen be smitten with Nora was bringing a new level of comfort and happiness to me, a product I’m sure of the loyalty their blood brought out in me. It was a weird emotion to identify, but I felt in debt to them somehow when I’d only just met them, like any negative thought I could muster to think was suddenly gone and replaced with an intense need to appease them. My whole body seemed so relaxed now, a stark contrast to moments before they walked in, and it was easy to get swept away in watching the Queen take in Nora, so much so that I forgot anyone else was in the room with us. “You’ll have to excuse Brianna,” he started as he picked up my hand and kissed the top of it, “she’s apparently lost her mind now that a baby is

 MYLO Something happened between Nixon and Terran, what I wasn’t sure, but we could find out about it later when we had privacy. My mother scooped up Nora instantly when everyone made their way to the tables, positioning herself across from us, beside Brianna. “I’m glad to see your sister’s mate,” Xander started as he glanced down to where they sat at the far end of the table from us, “doesn’t insult easily.”“He’s used to dealing with my brother’s,” I smiled, “and he is mated to Marie.”“You’re too hard on her,” Wyatt laughed as he pulled Brianna into his lap, “what did you expect with parents like yours,&rdqu
