Page 8 of Homecoming

They were facing the royal family, and when the staff came out with food, they served the royal family first and then brought food out for everyone else.

Serin noted one woman went around them, turned to Aeryn, and said, “Feel free to shop.”

Aeryn grinned and held a hand up. The tray she wanted was lifted out of the woman’s grasp and blown over to her. She caught it and set it down between her and Serin. They washed their hands and started eating.

Hara laughed.

Aeryn looked around, swept some flatbread up, and caught it.

She looked at the ladies coming out of the kitchen, and when the royals had it, she pointed at different items based on Serin elbowing her until their table was full of Serin’s favourites.

Aeryn chuckled as the other servers passed them warily.

Kekoa looked to Serin. “Your associate is powerful.”

“She is wind and waves.” Serin smiled.

Hara asked softly. “And you are?”

“I am the islands, and they are me. A few more days and I will be back to my normal strength, and I will be more useful to those around me.”

Alohi frowned. “Kekoa is the island.”

Kekoa put a hand on his omega’s hand. “I am the structure. She is the life.”

Serin smiled. “That sounds pretty, but the trees will get heavy, and the ground will render far more fruits in the next few months.”

Narro cocked his head. “Why?”

Serin smiled. “Because I don’t want my heat, so I am giving it to the island. I had forgotten how easy it was to hand it off.”

Kekoa chuckled. “I will brace for freaky flowers.”

Serin grinned.

Amby leaned over. “So, you are... a fertility goddess?”

Serin winced. “I don’t like that term. I prefer abundance influencer.”

The women laughed.

Aeryn grinned and kept eating.

Serin smiled and continued eating.

Thera asked, “So, Aeryn, any idea what kind of man you are looking for?”

Serin chuckled. “We have discussed this, and he has to be tall and has to be breathing. Aside from that, she’s undecided.”

Aeryn put her thumb up and kept eating.

“She also has an amazing calorie intake. She eats like an alpha.” Serin smirked.

Aeryn lifted her middle finger.

Serin hooted with laughter and then said, “No, seriously, she has been working non-stop for a few days. She’s hungry and short on sleep. That’s all.”

Aeryn finished most of her food. “I hear there is a bachelorette party in town. Is that normal?”
