Feon’s expression brightened. “You want to meet her?”

“Of course. I want to meet the poor unfortunate soul who has no choice but to spend the rest of her life with you.”

He let out a raucous laugh before turning serious. “I haven’t told her about the fated mate stuff yet. I figured I would do it later. Or maybe she’ll figure it out herself. It’s a lot to drop on someone you’ve only known for a few hours.”

“Still, I’d like to meet her.”

Feon grinned. “All right. I’ll find her and bring her to you.”

He turned to leave but hesitated at the door. “I feel really bad about taking your mate from you. How about I find a new one for you?”

I gripped my cock through my pants. “You’d better hurry. If we wrestled any longer, it might have been you who became my Steyatt mate.”

Feon laughed again. “I’ll find one fast. It shouldn’t be hard. We are in a Seeding Facility, after all.”

As a fellow male Krev, he knew just how overpowering Steyatt could be.

He pulled the door open and stopped on the threshold.

He turned to look back at me. “Thank you for understanding. This was not easy for me. I was not looking forward to this meeting.”

I snorted. “If the roles were reversed, I wouldn’t want to face me either.”

Feon left.

I stood there for a moment, alone in that room, shaking my head in disbelief at what I had just witnessed.

From broken promises to the promise of a lifetime.

I wondered what it would mean for the future, if I would lose my friend.

He was the best friend I’d ever had.

It would depend on what his fated mate wanted.

If she wished to start a family elsewhere, as far from the palace as possible — something I could fully understand as it had been something I had dreamt about while growing up — then I would wish them the best.

But that was a future that could never be mine.

I was destined to inherit the throne.

Perhaps I could live that life, at least indirectly, via Feon.

I would see him grow and flourish, have his own family, perhaps even his own farm.

I would support him in every way I possibly could.

I bent down to right the chair that had been knocked over during our earlier skirmish.

When the door opened, I grinned, preparing to be my most hospitable and friendly self.

It was the second time I was to be surprised when that door opened.

The female that stood in the doorway was small, curvaceous, with the right swells in all the right places.

Feon wasn’t with her, so she couldn’t be his fated mate.

Boy, Feon worked fast! I thought. He’d found me a replacement mate already!
