Aekeira gravely worried about the toil it was taking on him.

“Here.” She patted the space beside her. “Come lie with me. Please.”

“You can finish tomorrow.” Her other hand moved to rest lightly on her stomach, where their unborn child stirred. “Tonight, come lie with me. With us. Our little one is restless, and he needs his father.”

Vladya’s fierce protectiveness flared in his eyes. She saw his resistance crumble, and without another word, he stepped inside, closing the door behind him.

How attentive he was about their child did things to her, and while Aekeira felt guilt for using it to coax him into bed, her male needed rest.

Since Zaiper had taken her hostage to escape, Vladya had become downright suffocating. There were bodyguards at her side every moment of the day. He denied her leave of the fortress grounds outright. His beast was closer to the surface than ever before, always attuned to her, always scenting her.

The bed dipped under his weight as he climbed in and she shifted, giving him space, but he gathered her into his arms, tucking her against him.

A soft contented sigh slipped from her lips, her body easing into the warmth of his.

“What was your dream about?” Vladya’s voice was a low murmur against her ear.

Aekeira hesitated. She didn’t know how to explain it.

“I’m not sure,” she said quietly.

She could not understand–could not even begin to interpret–what she had seen. Yet it had felt too real. Like a distant memory that simply should not have existed.

Her grand lord’s hand rested protectively over the curve of her swollen belly. In the quiet, his fingers traced slow, soothing circles over the curve of her womb. The last of the tension holding his body rigid slowly melted away.

“Do you know why I call you a bird?” he asked softly.
