Henry howled in joy. Then I noticed that in the far sky a black dragon led a battalion of dragons our way.
Adrian!Jarrod and Quintrell, the green and dark green dragons, flanked him and roared thunderously.
They got here faster than I’d expected.
“I moved the main army and had them camp in the Forbidden Forest three days ago,” Elvey said. “The forest hid their trail.”
My demigod mate always thought ten steps ahead. I appreciated it, but I’d have appreciated it more if he had given me a heads up.
A battle horn sounded from all sides. My army from my six cities and my mates’ Oslanian army were right behind the dragons.
The red army faltered at the attack from all sides.
As the dragon army joined us and the monsters fought though and reached my circle, I called for Blaze and Rai, and they shifted to their human form beside me.
Henry grinned at the sight of me, showing me his fangs.
Good job, Henry, I said.I’ll see you in a little bit.
My hellhound leaped onto an enemy, his long fangs a terrifying sight.
Our army could hold on now, and our warriors pushed back briskly.
“We need to go,” Elvey said.
He grabbed my hand, and my three other mates either clasped my shoulder, wrapped an arm around my waist, or grasped my other hand.
In a flash of shadow and light, Elvey teleported us out of the battlefield outside the Red Palace.

We didn’t land in the grassy ruins this time, and there wasn’t a black net ward stopping us from entering the Breath of the Wild. Elvey and I had taken it down, and it stayed down.
We stood right outside the gray-stoned temple with hundreds of ancient stone stairs beneath us. My dragon princes were positioned on my left, taking in the view. Elvey guarded my right, his arm sneaking around my waist.
Blaze snapped his attention to Elvey’s arm on me, ready to snarl, then dropped it and shook his head.
“I know,” Rai said grimly. “It takes some getting used to. I’m afraid from now on, he’ll always be around our mate.” Then, as if wanting to make up to himself, he grabbed my hand into his large one.
The wind stirred, foretelling the coming peril, sending the odor of decay and foulness our way. The evil lurked beneath the soil. My grandparents had warned me that the portal to the demon realm was somewhere in the Breath of the Wild.
The tip of a banner appeared on the horizon, then many banners emerged from the hills. Beneath the banners was an army in white armor, their longswords glistening under the overcast sky.
Our eyes widened. Another army would be very inconvenient for us.
“What the fuck?” Blaze called in alarm, ready to shift to his dragon form.
“It’s the light Fae army, our allies,” Elvey said with a grin. “It’s my style to have some escorts.”
“You also arranged that in secret?” I asked, half pleased, half scolding. For sure, I would need to have a word with him. As his wife, I did not like being kept in the dark again and again. But since he was new to this relationship, he might not know that matehood was all about sharing.
I also needed to have a word with my dragon mates.
We were going to have a long therapy session when all of this was over.
“Finrod broke the veil between the light Fae and dark Fae realms for this war,” Elvey said, as if he thought all I concerned about was the technical issues. “His army poured into this wilderness yesterday, waiting for our arrival. The demon army will come, and our light Fae brothers will remove the obstacles for us.”
“Is that so, cousin?” a voice purred, then a squad of light Fae royal guards dropped from the roof of the temple.
