Her father’s brows rose and then he smiled broadly. He rose to his feet and came around the desk with his arms out. She stood and met him in a hug. “Congratulations,” he said. “What wonderful news!”
“Mom said she could tell because I’m glowing.”
He pushed her gently to arm’s length. “I’d say she’s right.”
“She also said it was because we used the oil for our mating night. Did you know that it encouraged pregnancy?”
He hummed. “I did, but I didn’t think it worked if both parties weren’t fae.”
“I guess it does,” she said.
Ren stood and shook her father’s extended hand as he said congratulations a second time.
“Thanks,” Ren said.
“Have you decided where you’re going to live?” he asked.
They all returned to their seats and Kismet took Ren’s hand and gave it a squeeze. “We’re going to live full time in his realm, but I’ll keep the house here and we’ll visit.”
“I figured as much,” he said. “I’m glad that you’re planning to keep your home here, though. I’ll be sure to keep an eye on it.”
“Speaking of keeping an eye on things…” she said. “Do you know how to do protection spells?”
“Are you in danger?” he demanded, his eyes narrowing.
“No,” she said. She quickly explained about Ren’s ex and how she’d planted a tracking device on his truck without their knowledge.
“To be fair,” Ren said, “she could have planted it at any time, anywhere, not necessarily at the house. But Kismet thought she could cast a protection spell around the house as a safeguard.”
Her father let out a growling sigh. “I understand.” He stood and walked to a bookshelf, sliding his finger along the spines of the books until he stopped on one and pulled it out. He handed the book to Kismet. “The ingredients are fairly simple, and you first enchant them and then speak the incantation as you walk the perimeter of the place you wish to protect.”
“What will happen after she does that?” Ren asked.
“Generally, if someone has evil intentions toward the residents of the dwelling, they’ll have difficulty getting past the barrier. It’s not to say they can’t get through it at all, but they’d have to be very determined. I’ve always looked at the spell as a way to be alerted if the safety of a home is compromised. You’ll have time to reactifsomeone does try to broach the boundary.”
“Cool,” Ren said.
“You’ll need sparkling salt,” he said. “Do you have any?”
“Ah, no.”
“There’s some in the supply room,” he said. “You know where it is.”
“I’ll be right back,” she said, pecking Ren on the cheek and darting out of the room. Once she got the ingredients for the spell, she and Ren could head back to her home and enjoy the day. She couldn’t wait to share her realm with him.
CHAPTERTHIRTEEN
Ren watched Kismet hurry from the room, and then he turned to face her father.
“I wanted to speak to you privately while Kismet’s gone.” His nerves suddenly acted up, his wolf wondering if her fatherdidapprove of their mating.
“Of course,” E’lahn said as he turned to face Ren.
Although Ren hadn’t told Kismet he loved her, he was crazy about her. Because they were truemates, their bond was strong from the beginning, but he was head over heels for his sexy fairy.
“I love your daughter, E’lahn. I want to ask your permission to marry her.”
E’lahn said nothing for a long moment and then he smiled broadly. “Of course you have my permission. I couldn’t imagine a better-suited male for my only daughter. Do you have a ring for her yet?”
