Joy filled Fersen’s heart as he finally indulged in one of his favorite things to do. He ran before diving through the waterfall and into the deep lagoon. It was an exhilarating rush that made him feel more like himself after everything that had happened the day before.
He swam back, giving himself a great view of Jaega’s magnificent dive. It was as graceful as his flying. Despite his large body, he landed with barely a splash.
Fersen laughed when Jaega swam over and embraced him from behind. “Surely, not even the Divine Realm has places as beautiful as this.”
“It’s hard to imagine.” While leaving his favorite relaxation spot was sad, Fersen finally felt ready to move on to the next phase of his life, with Jaega at his side as his beloved mate.
Fersen turned in his arms, then wrapped his legs around his mate to support himself. Jaega embraced him once more, indulging in a kiss. It stirred Fersen’s lust once more, stoked by the feedback loop between him and Jaega’s arousal.
He whimpered into another kiss when Jaega stroked Fersen’s erection. Fersen had done that alone in the lagoon before, but having his mate take care of him in such a way made the experience that much more enjoyable.
Their position made it too difficult to return the favor, but Jaega didn’t seem to mind. Fersen contented himself with running his hands over Jaega’s muscles, loving the smooth glide of skin against skin.
Fersen’s body tensed up as the pleasure escalated. He buried his face against his mate’s neck, reflexively kissing it as he rocked into Jaega’s tight grip. With the echoing feelings between him and his new mate, it didn’t take long before Fersen came with Jaega’s name on his lips.
To Fersen’s great surprise, Jaega climaxed, despite neither of them touching his hardness.
Jaega chuckled as he wrapped his other arm around Fersen. “To clarify your confusion, experiencing your pleasure was so enjoyable I did not need to touch myself to come.”
“That’s incredible!” Would Fersen ever stop being amazed by the benefits of their newly forged mating bond? He hoped not because everything was amazing so far.

Once they returned to the safety behind the waterfall, Fersen hesitated.
“What is wrong?” Jaega asked, gesturing for Fersen to come closer to him.
Fersen walked over to accept a hug. “I feel like I should share my unicorn form with you since you’re my mate, but it’s been a long time since I’ve shifted.”
Jaega gave him a warm smile. “Please do not feel you have to do something that will make you so uncomfortable.”
“I want to share this with you.” It was important to Fersen to let Jaega know all of him. He took a deep breath before shifting into his unicorn form. It felt like coming home.
Jaega’s eyes were full of love as he took in the view. “Wow,” he breathed in awe. He reached out and stroked Fersen’s muzzle. “You areglorious.”
It pleased Fersen’s unicorn to hear the admiration in Jaega’s voice. He nudged his mate’s hand to encourage more petting.
Jaega obliged, stroking Fersen’s white hair. “Utterly magnificent.” His boundless love echoed through their bond. “I did not realize your horn would also change colors like your eyes. It is beyond beautiful.”
It was something Fersen had always been self-conscious about, but Jaega’s appreciation for that trait made him feel better about it. He wanted to go for a run in the woods with his mate riding him, but it was enough for now that he had shown Jaega his true form. Fersen shifted back to his person form. “Thank you for your kind words.”
Jaega pulled his mate closer and gave him a sweet kiss. “I will happily spend the rest of our long lives singing your praises.”
Fersen’s heart overflowed with love. He never thought he’d be happy again, but he was so grateful to Jaega for proving him wrong.
Chapter15
Jaega
They enjoyed the rest of Fersen’s heat in the cave before Jaega and Fersen made the long trip back to Valzerna. Jaega was helping Fersen settle into their room in the royal wing when there was a knock on the door.
It didn’t surprise Jaega in the least to see his niece standing there with her always enigmatic smile. “Welcome home, Uncle.” She gave him a warm hug before he moved aside to grant her entrance. “Looks like I was right about you finding that hidden treasure after all.”
“I told you she would stop by to say, ‘I told you so,’ to me,” Jaega told Fersen, making him laugh. He projected calming vibes to reassure his nervous mate. “Fersen, this is Kizoshi, my dear niece. Kizoshi, this is Fersen, my new mate and the treasure you foretold.”
She clasped Fersen’s hands in hers and gave them a squeeze. “And what a precious treasure you are. Welcome to the family, Fersen.”
“Thank you,” he said with a slight blush. It was understandable when Kizoshi was a stunningly beautiful woman, with long, flowing red hair that was done up in a series of intricate braids. She looked as divine as her deity heritage in a shimmering, pink dress that was gathered on one shoulder with a gold brooch made of a glittering pink stone. “It’s an honor to meet you.”
