Kael’s Pov"The queen's condition is getting worse" Matilda said. Her voice was strained and I could see exhaustion in every line of her face. "The baby's heartbeat is becoming irregular. We might not have as much time as I thought we would.""How long" I asked. My throat felt tight and I could barely get the words out."Hours maybe" Matilda said. She would not meet my eyes. "A day at most if we are extremely fortunate. You need to make a decision Your Majesty and you need to make it soon.""What decision" I asked even though I knew exactly what she meant. I just did not want to hear her say it out loud."Whether to try to save the baby even if it means losing Elvanya" Matilda said quietly. "Or to wait and hope they both survive but risk losing them both together.""I cannot make that choice" I said. I felt sick to my stomach. "I cannot choose between my wife and my child.""You might have to" Matilda

Kael's Pov I stayed at the cottage for two days making sure Elvanya was as stable as possible. Then I had to go back to the palace. I could not just hide while enemies were still out there threatening my family. "I do not want you to leave" Elvanya said weakly when I told her. "What if something happens while you are gone." "Matilda is here" I said. "She will take care of you and call me immediately if anything changes." "What if the baby comes" Elvanya asked. "Then Matilda will deliver her" I said. "And I will get here as fast as I can." "Promise me you will be careful" Elvanya said. "I do not want our daughter to lose both parents." "I promise" I said. I kissed her forehead. "I will be back as soon as I can." I left the cottage before dawn and rod

Elvanya's PovI woke up in the middle of the night with a pain so bad I screamed before I could stop myself. It was not like the aches and soreness I had been living with for weeks. This was something completely different. Sharp and powerful and coming in waves."Matilda" I called out. My voice echoed in the small dark cottage. "Matilda I need you right now."Matilda came running from the other room in her nightclothes with a candle in her hand. She took one look at my face and her expression changed immediately."How long have you been feeling this pain" she asked. She set the candle down and came to the bedside."Just now" I said. "It woke me up out of sleep.""How bad is it" she asked. She pressed her hands against my stomach."Very bad" I gasped. Another wave of pain hit me and I grabbed the bedframe so hard my knuckles turned white. "Is this labor.""Yes" Matilda said. Her face was cal

Kael's PovLira reached me just before dawn and I knew something was terribly wrong the moment I saw her face. She had ridden hard and her horse was breathing heavy but she barely slowed down before jumping off."You need to come right now" she said. "It is Elvanya.""What happened" I demanded. I was already moving toward the stables."The baby came" Lira said. She was running beside me. "But Elvanya is dying Kael. She used her last power to save the baby and now she is dying."I did not say another word. I grabbed the nearest horse and rode faster than I had ever ridden in my life. The forest road was dark and full of holes but I did not slow down once. I pushed the horse as hard as it could go and prayed the whole way that I would make it in time.When I reached the cottage I jumped off the horse before it had fully stopped and ran to the door. Matilda was standing outside crying into her hands and Mira was just inside the doorway holding a small bundle against her chest. The bundle

Kael's Pov The doors to the council chamber burst open. Eldric stood in the doorway still covered in bandages from his injuries but with his staff raised and glowing bright blue. He looked like he had used the last of his strength just to get here."Helena" Eldric said. He was breathing hard. "I know what you are. And I know how to stop you.""The old mage" Helena said. She turned slightly toward him but did not take all her attention off me and Luna. "You can barely stand. You are going to fight me in that condition.""Watch me" Eldric said. He launched a spell at Helena immediately without waiting.Blue light crashed into Helena's dark energy and she stumbled sideways. It was not enough to hurt her badly but it broke her focus and the massive attack she had been building dissipated.The council chamber became chaos. Eldric kept throwing spells at Helena from the doorway. Helena deflected most of them and fire
