The healer who helped with my delivery used a blue flame with making his magical potions, and Lex asked him about it. The healer said the fire I’d started when we first met was harmless as it was a healing blue flame. The flames Lex told me he’d seen when I’d healed him had been the same.
Apparently, the magic I had was very protective as it only came to my aid—or my lover’s aid—when my body thought either one of us was threatened. Unfortunately, that kind had worked against me with the court magicians, but I liked the idea of it being protective of me.
Six months after we got home, Lex’s brother asked if he could come to see Lex in Igella. He was very sorry about what happened, he said. He explained to Lex that the queen took it upon herself to test my magic because she was clairvoyant, and she’d had a vision before he brought me back to Morovia. In her vision she’d seen Lex leading Igellan forces against Morovia, defeating them in a decisive battle, and the two of us ruling over both the kingdoms. It had been the queen who sent members of her guard against us on the road—they hadn’t worn their uniforms, but their intention had been to kill me if they could, in order to stop her vision from coming true. They hadn’t meant to injure Lex, of course—or so his brother told him.
Lex told his brother he had no interest in ruling Morovia, or at least he hadn’t before this had all happened. But unless the queen paid for her crimes against me, including going behind Lex’s back the way she had and attempting to murder me, he had to rethink that position. If Harrison agreed to punish her or sanction her, Lex would agree never to allow anything like another war to happen between Igella and Morovia. If not…well, then he was making no promises.
His brother said he’d have to think about that, and that was how they left it. But there was still great tension between them, and they might never be able to repair their relationship unless Queen Rozamond faced consequences for what she’d done.
Lex had been deadly serious. And I didn’t hate the idea of getting rid of Rozamond by King Harrison divorcing her and sending her back home to her people. But that remained to be seen.
I sometimes thought there wasn’t much that Lex and I couldn’t do together.
Except perhaps make a child that had no magic. One afternoon I saw the toys dancing around in little Vesper’s crib, with Vesper clapping her hands and laughing at them. I hadn’t told Lex yet. I also hadn’t told him how often my watch fob sings a lullaby to the baby when I leave it in the baby’s room and how peacefully she sleeps whenever it happens.
There were a few things my Alpha was just better off not knowing, so he wouldn’t worry so much. I was thoughtful that way.
In the meantime, it was hard to imagine my life being any happier than it was, although I thought Lex’s cousins needed their own love story too. I decided to be on the lookout for suitable omegas for them all.
After all, everyone needed a happy ever after.
The End
