The Alpha King's Mate
‘Okay, if it saves her life, we must do it,’ I sob.
Lou and Prunella kneel in front of a big, beautiful oak tree and place Maia in her swaddle, inside an opening in
the tree’s hollow trunk. They hold each other’s bejewelled hands and chant:
Goddess of the moon,
Place this sweet child to
sleep and make the year's leap.
When the moon shines bright,
in her time to retake and find her love,
open her eyes and allow her to wake.
The tree’s bark begins to move as it swirls magically around Princess Maia in kaleidoscopic strands, encasing her inside it. When it’s finished homing her, the tree trunk sutures over, forming a knot in itself, sealing my daughter inside.
