Probably nothing.

Maybe everything.

Instead, I decided to stay the course and be strong. I crawled into bed and tossed and turned, knowing deep down that if they were with me, I would have no trouble sleeping at all.

My first thought when I saw them the next day for our amusement park date was,Oh, shit, Farsel looks awful. He put on a half smile and shrugged one shoulder. “I’m okay.” He leaned down and whispered once he was near me. “Don’t worry. It hurts my heart.”

“I can’t help it. This is because of me.”

“Aw, female.” He stroked my cheek. “It’s for you and if you decide to be ours, it will all be worth it. Even if you don’t, I will always cherish the time we had together. Let’s go have a good time.”

We started off on a roller coaster and, while I was usually scared of the upside-down rides with the swift corners, with my men on either side of me, it was actually okay.

Tylan must’ve sensed my trepidation on the slingshot. He leaned over and told me that he would never, that they would never let anything happen to me. I didn’t ask the hows or whys—we were surrounded by humans, but somehow I believed them.

Farsel held my hand through the day. He was quieter than usual. He worried me. More than that, he scared me. We paused for a break from all the walking, and I nudged him with my shoulder while Tylan got us a drink. “I’m worried.”

“About what?” He sat up straight, seeming more energetic.

“About you. It’s not even worry anymore. It’s fear. I’m scared of what’s going to happen to you. I’m scared of how much time we have left.”

“Hey.” He turned to face me. “This is part of the human experience of choosing a life mate. It’s different for us, and especially different for me, but I’m okay right now. You’re with me, and I get to spend time with you, and that’s keeping me okay for now.”

“For now,” I said, fighting the tears welling up in my eyes.

“Amaris, please don’t cry over me. This time I have with you, it’s everything to me. I don’t know if you do, but I believe in the Goddess and how she weaves love into everyone’s lives. Everything will work out. I promise you. I just want you to be happy, sweetheart.”

I gasped. “You’ve never called me anything other than Amaris.”

His eyes widened. “I didn’t mean to offend you.”

I covered his hand with mine. “No offense taken. I thought it was cute.”

“Cute, huh?” It was the most human thing he’d said to me thus far.

“Yes. Cute.”

He chuckled, and his color brightened a bit. “I’ll accept the compliment.” He sighed and stared into my eyes. “You really are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. I’ve traveled through galaxies and met many different species but you…you are the most sparkling star.”

I’d never really been a girl who all out swooned, but my body swayed toward him and I got a bit lightheaded. They were pretty swoony. “I didn’t know aliens could be so romantic,” I heard myself say.

“What is it?” he asked. “Why are your cheeks so red?”

I snorted and shook my head, getting my senses back. “Because I’m falling for you, Farsel. You and Tylan.”

“A little touch of what I feel for you, then.”

“Everything okay here?” Tylan asked. He’d gone to get us lemonade but also had bought corn dogs. He already knew me.

“Everything is great,” Farsel answered. “I think our mate was getting a bit overheated.”

Tylan stared at his bondmate and then nodded. “I think that’s right.”

Their mate. Sure, they had said I was their mate, but he’d never referred to me that way before. Farsel was getting all kinds of bold, and I loved it.
