“I can’t believe you kept that from me. Peach is gorgeous. I’ve only been in there once or twice, but I remember her being so striking with that red hair. Maybe you can bring her to our family dinner next week. What do you think?”
She stills and then gasps as she looks down at her stomach. “Oh, fuck. Salem, I think it’s time.”
“Time?” I ask, frowning.
“The baby… the baby is coming.”
“Now? Where’s Bane?” I ask, standing.
“He’s outside training with his army,” she manages to get out. Not knowing what the fuck to do, I lift her in my arms and lay her back on the bed.
“Will you be okay for two minutes? I’ll get Bane and find a fucking healer. I’ll kidnap one if I have to,” I growl.
Saylor laughs until her face pinches in a grimace. “I need Astrid. Get Bane and Astrid.”
“Okay, okay,” I mutter, zipping outside the castle. I spot Bane with his shirt off, sword in his hand, fighting one of his soldiers.
“Bane!” I yell out, my hands clenched into fists.
This is all his fault. My baby sister is in pain because he couldn’t keep his demonic sperm away from her.
His head snaps to me, and he drops his sword and zips right to me. “What?”
I don’t have time for his shit. “The baby is coming. Go to her. I’ll go get Astrid.”
All I see is the surprise and concern flickering in his eyes. Thunder booms in the air, and lightning crashes before he disappears.
I head straight to Aravelle, the capital of the Fae Kingdom. I’m probably not exactly welcome here, but I don’t give a fuck. I break through all the castle wards and zip right into the dining room.
Seeing the Fae Queen get railed by the Shadow King wasn’t on my agenda today, but here we are. Rave has his shadows pinning her down with her arms behind her back, while he thrusts into her from behind.
I imagine doing the same thing to Peach, my cock hardening.
Having had enough of the show, I clear my throat. Rave spins to me, his shadows coming right for me. I go invisible and zip to the other side of the room.
“What the fuck!” Rave roars, pulling out of his mate.
“What is it?” she asks, panting. “Why did you stop? I was about to come!”
“I just saw…” he searches the room, and I allow myself to be seen. “Fucking Salem. What the fuck are you doing here? I’m going to kill you!”
He could try.
I nod my head to Astrid. “Get dressed. We’re about to have a fucking baby.”
Her hazel eyes widen with understanding. “I’ll be right there.”
I flash Rave a taunting smirk, and then head back to the Demon Kingdom.
Two hours later, baby Summer is born. She has her mother’s honey-brown eyes and dark hair. In fact, as far as I’m concerned, I don’t see anything of Bane.
She’s perfect. And all Saylor.
My sister hands me the baby, smiling gently.
I don’t know what to do with her. I’ve never held a baby, at least not since Saylor was born.
Summer nestles against my chest, and a rush of protection fills me. The same protection I feel for Saylor.
