Fate's Broken Bond
Sylvan tugged at his eye mask, just waking up from his nap.
"Mommy, are they talking about Daddy?" he whispered.
I quickly pulled the mask back over his eyes. "You must have misheard. Go back to sleep, sweetheart. I'm here."
Sylvan drifted back to sleep, not waking up again until we landed. Once we touched down, a car sent by my father was waiting for us. It took us straight to Nebaria's royal palace.
Standing at the palace gates, a strange wave of nervousness hit me. I hadn't been back in years. For my sake, my parents once stood up to the Moon Goddess herself and turned down the mate bond she gave me with Kaelen. They had always disapproved of him.
