This fae was a powerful sorceress, and she was connected to not one, not two, but four different men. Each of them was her One, and together, they were able to create the barrier that has protected our kingdom for centuries.” A hush falls over the room as his words sink in. I feel a shiver run down my spine as I absorb what he’s saying. Four Ones. The idea seems impossible, yet here I am, sitting beside two men who both strengthen my magic in ways I can’t fully understand. Could it be true?

Then he starts laughing softly as he sees me roll my eyes. "No, let me correct myself. That my money can give you more children." When he sees the quizzical look on my face, he nonchalantly clarifies, "Fifteen thousand dollars more exactly. That's what a standard in vitro fertilization costs. And, if you're too tired, we can also use a surrogate. It's a hundred and seventy thousand

I have to hold onto the wall to keep from falling to my knees in pain. Oh Goddess this hurts! And it’s not even the official rejection yet. It takes me a few moments longer than I would have thought to get a handle on this.
