Jasper Durin's pov

My half-brother's death didn't sadden me but I felt Aria's broken heart, and that was painful.

Not being able to comprehend why she even liked the pale-skinned cold bastard I shook my head while I dragged his corpse across the bridge to his former kingdom.

The guards were all shocked to see their king dead.

“Ironclaw shot at him and you know they poisoned their bullets,” I growled sourly.

“Will you now lead us?” Several of them asked and I told them that it was up to my

    Queen Aria Ulfhedinn's povMonths have passed and today my daughter was screaming obscenities from the birthing chamber making me chuckle.“Breath, sweetie,” I reminded her.Panting heavily she growled, “Where is Lark?! He should be present for the birth of his son!”“I sent the staff to retrieve him so calm yourself, Aella. Your husband will come,” I asserted firmly.I watched her face contort in pain and felt sympathetic towards her.“I know dearest but the pain will be forgotten once your little prince enters the world,” I encouraged and she glared daggers at me.Thankfully the door flew open and Lark came rushing in with panic plastered on his face.“I'm so sorry sweetheart, I had to take care of some underground issues,” he stated and Aella eyed him with contempt.“What happened to the advisor?” She questioned and Lark groaned.“You forgot about him going to Finland to visit his parents?”“Yeah,” she squeaked out as another hard contraction came.“Where's the midwife? She needs

    Aella Durin's povRubbing my swollen abdomen I sat beside Lark, whom I was feeding.His eyes glowed at me as I waved the morsel that was stabbed on the fork before him.“You'd better eat so our child grows healthy,” he scolded and I stuck my tongue out at him.“Maybe you could get your lazy ass out of bed and feed yourself,” I mumbled teasingly and he grabbed me and pulled me on top of himself. The fork tumbled to the floor.Giggling, I asked him what he was planning on doing.Pinching his lips he hummed and said, “Ravishing you sounds fun but your new staff person might interrupt us.”Frowning I growled, “I'm furious with your dad for taking Briar from me. He'd better treat her well on the trip he took her.”Shaking his head he chuckled, “It wasn’t a trip, dear. He retired and expects you and me to take over his throne after you give birth.Poking his chest I added, “And we must wed per my parents.”Pulling me close he pressed his lips against mine and kissed me tenderly while he cu

    Queen Aria Ulfhedinn pov Helping my daughter put Lark into her bed, I hugged her and wished her luck getting him back to health. “If you need anything, just ask,” I told her. “I will ask for Briar's help, you have more pressing matters considering your position, Mom,” she grinned then added, “But thanks for helping.” The Goddess smiled at us both and exhaled deeply. “I'm going to punish Elara. Ah Aella, don't be surprised if Lark's father resigns and offers Lark the throne.” My daughter swallowed uncomfortably and nodded before she brushed Lark's black bangs from his face. “I will get him back to full health.” “Come my conduit we must speak frankly with each other,” the Goddess announced toward me. Furrowing my brow I was curious about what more she had to discuss but I did as she requested. “Your daughter will be an excellent nurse for her mate,” she informed me as I followed after her. Once in the hall she turned around to face me. “Aria, you must learn to manage things

    Princess Aella Durin's pov Landing on my feet in the dank abyss I called my flame to my hand to see where I was to go. Spying flickering lights up ahead I hurried toward it. My footsteps crunched on the gravel as I stopped then peeked around a corner. “Help me find Lark, Mystic,” I murmured while I sniffed the stale air trying to find his scent. Seeing the shadow of something huge nearing I hurried back around the corner and knelt near a stone. “That bitch gets away with so much, I can't believe that Drarath gives in to her every demand,” the creature growled sourly. Thinking that I could handle the big lug I decided to be bold. Standing abruptly, I had startled the large demon, but his eyes still narrowed at me when I asked if he would take me to the elf who had been traded. “I'm his mate and want to be certain that he is the one who is here,” I explained and he nodded and gestured for me to follow him. We traveled further underground and my heart began to ache in my chest

    Princess Aella Durin's pov I woke to Katerina sitting on the edge of the mattress and furrowed my brow. “Where's Lark?” Startled, she stood quickly and wrung her hands. “Oh you have finally awakened, um Lark wants me to take you back to your room at the castle after you get dressed in that so that you can make your mother's acceptance party,” Katrina mumbled as she pointed down at a stunning black gown on the bed. Raising my brow, I asked her again about Lark's whereabouts, and she pursed her lips. “He went to inform his mom that he and I aren't interested in each other…and that you and he are now marked, mates.” “Oh,” I said as I rubbed his mark that was covering my neck and arm. “That is really lovely,” Katrina commented and I smiled. “Do all elves have the gift of teleportation?” Nodding slowly she told me that all elves regardless of status had gifts. “I will get changed and then you can transport me,” I mumbled, making her grin and nod.
