Severin noticed a strange bubble of quiet surrounded the trio. He realized they’d erected a barrier keeping whatever they said between them. He watched, and his mind worked through the sequences they used to erect the dome of silence.

“Your mind is creating the same thing as you see with them?” Thana said through their link.

“You see it as well?” Severin didn’t need her to answer. He could tell she did.

“As our female has said, it’s best if you two go as soon as possible. We can feel the disturbance in the air. Not close, but searching.” The one Severin was sure was Lucas said, peering over his shoulder.

“You can sense a disturbance in the air?” Pax asked, disbelief in his tone.

The twins moved to Jenna, each taking one of her hands. The Fey Queen sighed and rolled her eyes. “You both are overbearing as all get out. But they’re also correct. We can feel the ripples. Come, I promise you’ll both be safe, and I can also swear you won’t come back old and withered.”

“Old and withered? Mari has gone through enough. The last thing she needs is to worry about wrinkles appearing before she has the chance to go out clubbing with friends.” Pax placed himself in front of his sister.

“Our mate can and will return you both to Earth in the same shape and form as you are today. Maybe a little wiser, definitely a lot safer. You’ll get an education on things you never thought were possible, and your teachers, well, let’s just say they’re going to be interesting,” Damien said.

“You make it sound like they’re going to Hogwarts or something similar.” Savage tapped two fingers along the arm of his chair. The solid thud, thud of his actions echoed around them.

Damien and Lucas both shrugged.

“Goddess, my males are so stupid. But I love them. They also need to release me so I can do my thing and get all of us to Fey. Savage, thank you again for your hospitality. Oh, and Aurora, if you're serious about wanting pole skills, I can help you.”

“Oh, I’d love that,” Aurora said.

Jenna twirled her finger in the air. Severin felt Thana jolt next to him.

“Oh my gawd, what did you do?” Aurora asked, twisting on Savage’s lap to face Jenna fully.

“Why? What’s wrong?” Severin’s back straightened. His beast surged forward, testing the air with his senses.

“She literally gave me like ten years of knowledge in that little flick. Not like novice skill, but I know I could walk up to any of those poles and do the moves you see online or in class. Savage, your female is totally going to rock your world with my new skillset.”

“Bet,” he growled. His hands gripped Aurora’s thighs, halting her movements. “If you’re done, get the fuck out.”

Severin tossed his head back and laughed. “Why do I have the feeling the big male is on the edge and we’re literally acting like a wet blanket for him?”

“Because his female doesn’t enjoy getting nasty with her baby sister in clear view.” Thana ducked behind Severin as Savage growled loudly.

“Okie dokie, then. I’ll take that as our sign to vacate the premises. Bye,” Jenna cheered and moved toward Mari and Pax. “You’re both going to feel slightly floaty, but I’m giving you what my bestie Kellen refers to as the good juice, or anti-nausea stuff. Whatever you want to call it, I’m making sure neither of you experiences the effects of going from one realm to the next. PS. You’re welcome.” Jenna performed a deep bow.

“Pretty sure Kellen refers to it as something altogether different, but go on with your delusions, my gorgeous queen.” Damien smoothed his hand down Jenna’s back after she glared at his words.

“Men...didn’t I say they were truly dimwitted?” Aurora muttered.

“Hey, I take offense at that. And you know what happens when I’m offended,” Savage growled.

The sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed around the space, followed by Aurora’s cry.

“And we are outta here.” Thana grabbed Severin’s hand.

“As are we. Toodaloo, motherfuckers!” Jenna swooped her arms around the twins, Mari and Pax, while her males held onto her shoulders.

“She’s really not right in the head, is she?” Severin asked.

“That is up for debate sometimes. However, she’s always amazing. She’ll be the one who will stay by your side day and night, giving you her last breath to save those she holds dear.” Starla let out a shaky breath.

“True. She’s a Goddess in every way,” Savage agreed.

“Will she bring Mari and Pax back to us, or you, or?” Severin asked. Thana realized they had no clue what would happen to the twins or when they would be returned.
