“How did you know?”

He flashed a sideways smile, starlight shining in his eyes. “I could read it on your face.”

I smiled back. “You know me so well already.”

“How could I not?” He squeezed my hand. “You’re my fated mate.”

I didn’t think I could be more content than I was at this moment. The world was burning around us, and yet I was finally living the life of a pampered princess inside the safety of a beautiful castle with three gorgeous, virile winged mages.

“Something strange happened last night,” Blaze said as he released my hand and leaned back in his chair.

“What?” I asked while pulling apart a sweet cinnamon roll. Cook’s pastries truly were heavenly.

Blaze leaned forward and snatched a piece of my roll, popping it in his mouth. “My brothers and I can mind-speak.”

My mouth fell open. “Are you serious?”

“Yes, he’s serious.” The fluttering of wings sounded on the balcony and then Nikkos strode in through the double doors, a wide grin splitting his face.

I jumped from my seat and ran to him. He swept me into his arms, kissing me passionately. I was breathless and his eyes shone with fire by the time we pulled away.

Then his gaze wandered toward the pile of destroyed sheets at the foot of the bed.Someone had fun in here,he said through thought, his voice echoing like a gong while he waggled his brows.

Odd that our telepathic conversations had never sounded like that before.

Blaze looked sideways at me, flashing a wicked grin.So much fun,his voice reverberated in my skull the same way.

I gaped at them. We were having a group thought conversation.

Nikkos laughed.You look like you’ve seen a ghost.

Sorry.I shook my head.Just getting used to this.

Yeah.Blaze scratched the back of his neck while sharing a smirk with his brother.Us, too.

I jumped from my chair at the sound of little feet running outside the sitting room door. The knob rattled but I didn’t hear the door open. I laughed. After last night, I supposed Aurora had been afraid to use her teleporting abilities again.

Nikkos smirked and crossed over to the sitting room, opening the door.

The girls came running in. “Auntie! Uncles!”

“Good morning,” I said to them, kneeling on the floor and holding out my arms.

Nikkos cleared his throat. “Good afternoon.”

“Oh.” I squinted up at the noonday sun as I squeezed the girls tight, kissing their soft cheeks.

Blaze knelt down beside us. “Have a good sleep, sprites?”

Ember pulled back, frowning. “I had a nightmare about the bad men.”

“Come here, sprite,” Nikkos said as he joined our circle.

I fought back tears as she went to him and he took her in his arms, wrapping his wings around her.

Thank you,I said to him through thought while swiping the moisture at my eyes. I was truly a lucky witch to have such kind mates.

I frowned down at the doll she held against her. This one had pale hair and skin like a Sidhe Fae. “You have a different doll,” I said to her.
