My stomach turns at the thought of blood.
Nope. No, I do not like the sound of that. I’ve changed my mind.
Relaxed his wings appear metal, with one sharp piece protruding at the top where three other pieces connect. In the middle of his shoulder blades is what looks like a silver ball, but it’s that ball that is connected to his spine and nerves to give him control.
Cailian places his hand over the bolts, freezing them for good measure.
“How do you feel?”
Nyx rolls his shoulders. “Good. No pain.”
The dragons and elves cheer. Nyx holds up his hand to silence them.
“Can you move them? It’s okay if you can’t at first. It could take time.”
Nyx takes a deep breath and shuts his eyes. His new wings tucked behind his back.
Seconds pass with no movement.
Then minutes.
My heart loses hope.
And then Cailian jumps away when they spread out, bigger than his other pair of wings. The smile on Nyx’s face is priceless. Everyone claps, shouting in celebration, and Nyx sprints down the middle of the heartsnow, launches himself into the air and takes flight.
He shifts into his dragon form, barely clearing the castle.
The castles connect now. Dragons and elves can come and go as they please, but dragons are able to withstand the coldmore than the elves can heat. Dragons tend to come to the cold kingdom, so the elves don’t have to hurt themselves.
The baby kicks, and I rub my hand over the spot as I look up to the sky, watching Nyx fly in dragon form.
“He’ll probably be gone all day. He has a lot of time to make up for,” Cailian explains, wrapping his arms around me. “How is my mate?” He kisses my cheek, rubbing my stomach only to feel our child kick.
“I’m tired but I’m hungry.”
He takes my hand and gives me a knowing smirk. “How about I feed you, and then fuck you to sleep, My Snow?”
“That sounds perfect.”
“I would pick you up if we weren’t in the same predicament.”
I place my palm on his stomach. He seems much further along than me. “I am lucky to just hold your hand as we walk home.” I stretch out my arm and he happily takes it.
The shadow of Nyx above us has me looking up again, a sense of belonging reminding me how this was always meant to be my home.
I can’t freeze memories. I can’t manipulate the cold. I’m no longer rare. I gave that aspect of myself to him to bring him back to me.
And I’d do it all over again because my life, my happiness, my Beloveds, my child?
That is what is rare.
When we get inside, we stop at the staircase and groan in unison, not wanting to even attempt to go up the stairs. Nyx always carries us when he is with us. Instead, we head to the couch and lie down. Taygen is there so we are protected and instead of feeding and fucking, we fall asleep in each other’s arms.
Cailian’s heartbeat lulls me to sleep while Nyx’s happiness fills my heart.
My peace has the missing pieces it has been searching for and those pieces are priceless.
They are rarities.
The End.
