“Wow, you must have played with him hard today. He didn’t even wake up to greet me.”

“Yes, I made him a fetch toy. We had a blast. I think he wore me out, and that is saying something.” Ember sighed.

“You have my backpack and guitar!” I noticed my stuff placed neatly on a table.

“Yes, a soldier was taking it to your room to give it to Flame. She was directly ordered on a special mission to retrieve it. I stopped her and told her I would see to it that you got it first thing in the morning.

She was adamant that she would do her duty as ordered. She relented when I shadowed scales and steam rolled out my nose. She will be filing a grievance on me for my actions, by the way.» Ember snickered.

“Flame is always taking steps to provide what we need. Gods, I love her. Thank you, Ember, for taking my things. We needed privacy earlier. I will make sure Flame drops that grievance case against you. You are a good friend.”

“I am happy to help. I am also eager to reassure my family that I am well. Are you ready to sleep?” Ember asked with a yawn.

“Yes, Flame and Terrek wore me out.” I smiled.

“I can smell that you are changing. You did enjoy yourself. I feel bad for taking you away from your family time. My anxiety has me selfish.” Ember said softly.

“This is the least I can do for you, Ember. Let’s get some sleep and see if we can figure out the answers you need.”

As soon as I hit the pillow, I barely felt Ember take my hand, and I was in my dream world. A white mist of fog pillowed around us. I looked to my left, and Ember was holding my hand.

“Don’t let go,” Ember said as Harmony broke through the cloud in front of us, her mate, the god Hecat at her side.

“Does my family know I am safe? Why would you take me without warning?” Ember went right for it with Harmony.

I liked this about her, she never seems timid, just says it like she feels it.

“My dear Ember, I did not take you. My mother, the Goddess of true mating, took you. If I had known, I would have prepared everyone. I am working to remedy this. I will make a permanent portal on Laverian to allow you to go to and from your home on my planet Harmony to your family on Laverian.”

“What? This makes no sense. I have no mate on Laverian.” Ember said, completely confused.

“Your mother knows you are safe. I have been busy calming your parents, aunt, and uncle. Everyone has been using visions and the enchantment book to contact me. I am in a realm that is not of either universe, so my ability to communicate back in time has had my head spinning. Hecat has been guiding me.”

“Yes, my Harmony loves you all so dearly. If she is concerned, it is my priority to do what makes my Harmony happy,” Hecat said proudly.

“I am so proud of you, Darah, you fought well, and now you can build the life you dreamed of. My Hecat and I will establish a barrier to help protect our universe from Kane’s. You have Babies in your future.” The Goddess said with excitement. My mom and dad walked through the mist to join us.

Darah, we worried about you when we saw that battle. Oh, my heart, I am so glad to see you safe and whole.» My mother hugged me even though I held tight to Ember.

“Mom, Dad, meet Ember. She is my friend.”

My dad pulled Ember into his big country arms. “Darlin, welcome to the family.”

Ember held my hand and looked at me, perplexed.

“Thank you for protecting our Darah and her family, Ember. I always wanted another daughter. Now I have two more: you and Flame. I couldn’t be more tickled pink.” My mom said.

“Uhm, Mom, Dad, Ember is not my wife, uh, mate, I mean.” I looked at Ember to see if I had missed a connection.

“Do you feel drawn to me like that? Cause I only feel sisterhood towards you.” I asked Ember.

“Nope! Definitely, No sexual attraction on my part to you or your mates.” Ember said with a shrug.

“We haven’t explained that yet,” Hecat interjected.

“I like to let these things happen naturally. It’s so fun to watch.” Harmony said.

“Jason, please join us,” Harmony called. My brother came through the cloud.
