The Birthright Series Chapter 357
IN THE GOOD HALF-HOUR it took to scrub out all the dirt and grime from my skin and hair, Sian, Loi, Ada, and Elena achieved plenty. By the time I stepped out to dry my hair, Leseach having used the shower in Loi's quarters, they'd packed everything I would need plus the enormous list of items Kassie apparently needed.It made all the stuff I, a Queen, needed look pitiful in comparison.As I exited my quarters and re-entered the common area of the other quarters, a harried looking Ada rushed past with her arms full of fabric, pieces slipping off to the ground. I stooped to grab them up, hurrying after her as Sian and Loi emerged from Kassie's quarters lugging a small trunk between them.'Let's go!' Loi grunted the words as they manhandled the luggage.We made our way awkwardly down the stairs, met half way down the turret by Elena who regarded Loi and Sian as they panted away with a perplexed expression.'Girls,' she said in the manner of a reprimanding school teacher. 'Did we forg

IT THREW ME, MY HEAD snapping back in time to see others laughing at something, and I joined in, the laughter hysterical in my mind. Hands pressed tightly between my thighs, my mind went to pieces at that expression.I didn't want to even voice the thought to myself, but- but- I flicked another glance his way.Those eyes, oh those eyes!They creased in affection.I jerked my gaze down, staring at my legs as a shuddering gasp rang through my body.'Lovey!' Kassie's mother squeezed my shoulder. 'Are you okay?'Most at the table gave me only the slightest of glances, tactfully continuing their conversations. Feeling dazed, the sounds and smells not helping, I managed to shake my head at her.'No,' I dipped my head again with a gasp of a sigh, just resisting tears. 'I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse me, my head is killing me.'Leseach started to stand as I did but I shook my head, forcing a smile. 'Don't worry, it's just a headache, I haven't been in such heat for so long!' I en

HE'D WOKEN IN THE EARLY hours, stretched his limbs out and found her cocooned in the covers. It took some careful detangling before he managed to avail just enough cloth to cover himself.At least we don't have to get up early, he thought, relaxing back into sleep, Cat cuddled next to him.'GUYS!' Pounding on the door caused Alek to sit bolt upright, arms flailing, mind ready for action.'WHAT?' he bellowed.'Wedding breakfast in ten minutes! Don't be late!' Feet pounded on down the hallway.'Holy bejezus,' Cat said in a stunned tone, sitting up, clutching a sheet to her chest, blinking like a startled owl.Feeling just as bewildered at the abrupt wake-up call, Alek nodded then questioned. 'Wedding breakfast?'Cat, still blinking but looking a little more alert, nodded. 'Hmmm, Kassie has us tied up all day.'Scrubbing a hand over his face, Alek stretched his arms up and out with a groan. He felt movement across the bed behind him then two slim hands slid around his back to his

'ONE HOUR!' THE SHOUT AND thumping on the door made him jerk up, heart pounding while he muttered an expletive under his breath. Cat jerked awake with his movement, peering around slit eyed.'What?' The question was lost in a yawn.'An hour to go.''ONE HOUR!' She sat bolt upright, shunting herself to the edge of the bed before crouching for shoes.Thoroughly confused Alek climbed off the bed too. 'Kitten? Why the rush?''Make-up in Kassie's room,' Cat said hurriedly while stripping her dress off.'You need to be naked?!' The confusion only grew.Cat gave a laugh while bent over the trunk of clothes, withdrawing with a robe in hand. 'No, love. I need a robe. You get dressed, I'll be back in time to get dressed and then we'll go.' She zipped back to his side, tiptoeing to kiss his mouth then dashed out of the room.Now he felt her excitement, but again different to the excitement of their wedding. Perhaps because it's not ours? Maybe it's easier to enjoy then? Alek pondered that

DISCUSSING THE DAY ON THEIR way to the room, Alek asked. 'Is it what you would have wanted?'Cat glanced at him sharply, eyebrows drawing close as she squeezed his arm. 'I loved our day, it was,' she gave a laugh. 'Out of this world. So different to what I might have imagined.''But you would have liked something like this?' Alek pursued, opening the door and stepping aside for her to enter. The room was lovely and cool, a refreshing change to the thick humid night air.Cat paused in the middle of the room, head tilted as she considered it. 'Honestly, I'd have liked something even simpler.''Simpler!?'She laughed at his astonished question. 'Al, my Earth parents, while they love each other dearly, had a relationship I would never want. Always fighting like cats and dogs. Doing the stupid silent treatment or snide comments. It convinced me fairly early on that soul-mates didn't exist. So, I never really thought about getting married. But from seeing what other friends did, I knew

WE WALKED THROUGH THE HOUSE and out past the tents, still in place and being enjoyed by some of the wedding guests. They clearly hadn't been invited to whatever we were up to, watching us with surprised expressions.Keeping a brisk pace that made me hold the skirt of my dress up to keep the slight train off the green spread of ground cover, we made our way around then past where the ceremony had taken place yesterday. Twisting to glance at the girls, both wearing beautiful dresses that I knew I'd seen somewhere before, Sian in a draped halter neck of soft blue and Loi in deep red, a fun full skirted but knee-length gown that reminded me again of a flamenco dancers dress. It made me wonder if my gown had been a last-minute panic, realizing someone hadn't packed another for me.Sabyn continued leading us around, moving into a grove of trees towards a massive draping willow tree.I pulled at his arm, making him stop in surprise as I paused to admire the sight. The graceful boughs of ti

EpilogueTHE SMELL OF FRESH BAKED something crept into my dreams. Blinking then rolling over to snuggle up to Al's pillow, I peered across the lovely spread of thick soft covers to where I could glimpse a male figure standing at the wood stove, flipping something before darting to grab something from the bench then dropping it into the pan. A hiss made him jerk back, implement at the ready. I noted then the lack of pants, admiring the neat tight-fitting underwear across that taut ass. Feeling remarkably more awake, I rolled across the bed, shuffling around for a better view. The sound caught Audi's attention, and she padded across the small floor space of the cabin, climbing up to the bed platform.'Good morning, noisy girl,' I cooed to her, reaching an arm out from my cocoon of covers to pat her, before my eyes were drawn back to the semi-naked male, who by this stage registered my state of consciousness.'Well hello there, wife,' Alek grinned at me then gestured with the spatula

Book Five: Escape Vo'ArumGreat Uncle Ilder lay on a high narrow table surrounded by flowers and shimmering white crystals. Mila watched as her grandparents made their way to the table, bending over his head, appearing to whisper to him before adding a crystal of their own to the table.Seated between her mama and papa, Mila straightened in anticipation when her grandparents nodded to Mama.'Let Mila go play,' Papa spoke the words without moving his lips.Her mama arched an eyebrow.'No!' Mila protested before a firm squeeze on the shoulder made her falter, voice dropping to a whisper.'Please, I want to put a crystal up too.''Come, Mila,' Mama released her shoulder, seizing her hand. 'This way.'All those in the room, her Mestarn relatives and DeNaga relatives, moved forward in a line to say their final farewells. Mila squirmed to watch as Mama, her hold on Mila's arm firm, guided her to the door.With an extended hand Mama pushed the door open, her gift a familiar soft bell
