“Heavy is the head…”

“That wears the wicked crown.Yeah, yeah, I know.”

“When we get back to the suite, I’ll show you wicked.”

“Promises, promises.”All of which she would hold him to.

“But first, I have a surprise.”

“Will I like it?”

“Pretty sure.”

“You stole my line.Again.”She glanced at the sexy gleam in his eyes and that megawatt smile.“Thief.We might make a goblin of you yet.”

He jerked his gaze toward the opening doors.“Take a deep breath.”

“This isn’t sounding like a good surprise.”She trailed off, all the air leaving her in a rush.Jura stepped in the doorway.Happiness flooded Vori.“She’s back.”She pushed to a staggering stand.

Perry touched her arm.“Wait.”

Another woman joined Jura.Tall, fair-skinned, with dark-as-midnight-sky hair.A mirror image of Vori.Her heart pounded, and her heaviness and aches lifted.“Mom.”She hurried forward.Well, as much as she could while growing two goblin babies.“How?What?”She couldn’t get out more than a word before the emotion overwhelmed her.

“Vorishka.”Her mother’s embrace was all that she had remembered, only better.“Jura did it.We’ve come to witness the wedding for Queen Clio and to stay as long as you’ll have us.”

“Forever?”

Her mother’s laughter was an echo of her best childhood memories.“Plenty of time to share all our stories.”

Time.Vori finally had time without the threat of promises she didn’t want to fulfill.Her world was here.Her mother.Her babies.Her love.

“Good to be queen?”Perry asked hours later.“Blood crown and all?”

She kissed him with passion and tenderness and a promise of more to come later.“Wickedly good.”
