My mates need to be well and loved. I reached my free hand out to rub his back in the only way I could give him support. I will love them always. I wish I were enough to keep all their pain and worries away. Reality can really suck at times.
After feeling the emotions from my brother and Ember imprinting and then being separated. Now that I was awake, we were about to meet Terrek’s mother in the aftermath of war. My emotions were all over the place.
I would be strong for everyone. I must be. Flame said she found his mother but she was not in the best of health. Terrek was hiding his grief well, for our sake. He was so protective. We all were of each other.
We entered the jump ship and found Terrek’s mother, Tora, sitting in a chair with a blanket on her lap. We got to have this meeting privately. Flame thought of everything. She was truly unique.
Terrek bent over and kissed his mom on the top of her head. He kneeled on the grated floor and held his mother’s hand.
“Mom, with great pride, I introduce you to my true mates. This is Darah of Earth and Flame of Gia’s.
“Flame, this is my mother, Tora of Laverian.” Flame stepped forward and bowed with her fist over her heart in her warrior greeting.
“I am so happy to meet you, Mother Tora.” Flame said.
“Flame, look at you, such a beauty! My son is blessed indeed. Please come hug me.”
Toro lifted her shaky arms. She was so frail that I was affected by the sight of her in that state. I received genuine love from Tora. The moment Flame leaned down to hug Tora. Her anxiety melted away. This was beautiful.
The frail, sickly woman transformed before me into a strong matriarch presence. Flame had not discussed her family much. Clearly, she prioritizes family as she melts into Tora’s gentle hug. I loved this about her. We will need to meet all of her family next.
Flame stood with a sweet smile. She turned to me, and I smiled as I moved forward.
“Darah, you are such a beauty as well.” Tora held her arms open for me. I hugged her and felt her acceptance and love. I felt her illness, too; she was strong for us, but she was very ill.
“I am so glad you are with us now. I feel so lucky to be a part of this family.”
“My sweet child, our lives are saved, we have been returned home, and we have hope now. You made all this possible. You, Terrek, and Flame have saved us all. We are truly the lucky ones.” Tora insisted, her voice frail.
“All my favorite ladies are with me. Let me take you home now,” Terrek said genuinely.
I sat next to Tora as Flame and Terrek allowed the medical team to enter the ship so Tora could get her medical attention, and Flame launched, taking us home.
She planned for us to be the first to land. My heart was so whole and happy. My anxiety lingered, though. I worried for Tora. She was being humble and sweet. However, I sensed she was suffering greatly.
Flame landed just outside Terrek’s village. I had only glimpsed his home in his projected memory when he was in the worthy machine. When I stepped outside and saw his house, I was breathless.
The deserted village was eerily empty. His home was wellmade and beautifully beckoning. The smell of this land was refreshing, and the sense of being at home was simply wonderful. While this world lacks advanced technology, these homes were built with stunning craftsmanship.
“Come see our home. This one is my home next to my parents’ home. The Chief house is my parent’s or was . . . I suppose now our house is the Chief’s house.”
Terrek gave his mother a sweet glance as he offered to assist the medical team in escorting his mother off the ship. “Mom, we are home now.”
“Indeed, Son, I am happy to have returned home.” “We should take your mom home first. Get her settled.” Flame insisted.
“These houses are so beautiful. Terrek, I am happy for all of us to be home.” I said as we walked behind Tora and the team.
The moment we entered Tora’s home, Terrek sat with his mother on a couch sitting area. He held his mom as she silently cried.
“I never thought I would see my home again. I can feel the difference in the air with your father gone now. Take your new bride’s home and celebrate together. I need some rest and want to say a private farewell to your father in my home.” Tora was helped up, and she waved us off, insisting that her help would get her to her room without us. Her fatigue, Terrek’s sadness for his mother, and his grief. It was so overwhelming. Terrek insisted on helping his mother.
Flame’s concern for them both shown in her eyes. I saw the wheels turning. She plans on making this her next priority. I planned on helping her. The earth tones and wood walls made the inside of this home cozy and had a cabin style.
“Come step outside with me.” I pulled on Flame’s elbow. She would learn how stubborn I could be when I insisted on helping her ease the load. She was always taking on too much by herself.
“Okay, I can use some fresh air. Laverian has very crisp air. I will enjoy it here.” Flame said. Terrek stepped outside. “My mates are you ready to see our home?” he asked.
Terrek took our hands and walked us to the house across the path to his chief house, our home now. The moment we entered. I knew I was home. Very detailed hand-crafted wood lined the walls, and sturdy furniture was made of the same wood style and upholstered with rustic patterns.
