We were ready to leave the next morning and despite not wanting to scare the others with his fast healing, he came out to see us off. I was a bit terrified of what we were going to meet at home. I couldn’t

keep myself from fidgeting the entire ride. I hadn’t heard from Christine or the kids and I was worried about them. Ryker intertwined our fingers the entire ride. He didn’t say a word but I could feel his presence. I could feel his comfort and his reassurance.

By the

time we got to the palace, I didn’t even wait for the carriage to come to a halt before I rushed out. Christine was already waiting in front of the palace with the girls and they rushed into my arms. Despite the persona I was to hold as a Queen, I couldn’t bring myself to care about that, I rushed to my knees and pulled them into my arms. I pulled them impossibly closer and let out a sigh of relief when I realized they were fine.

I had not realized how much I missed and wanted them to be fine. Audrey was telling me about everything she did while we were gone and in all honesty, I wasn’t paying attention to her words, I just wanted to hold her. Ryker walked over to me and they immediately pulled away from me to embrace their father. He picked them up with ease and I watched as he whispered kind words into their ears.

“I take it the trip was successful,” Christine hummed from beside me and I nodded. “Come on, I made lunch for you, we can talk over lunch.”

We walked into the palace and I couldn’t help but look around anxiously almost expecting something bad to have happened. Everyone was all smiles which to me was weird. Reina had never gone this long without hurting someone first. I couldn’t help but think back on Briggs‘ words. What was her endgame? What was she planning? Had she already done it or was she waiting for me to return before she did it? No matter how I thought about it, it still looked bad and I was exhausted.

I didn’t realize how hungry I was until I walked into the living room. The smell of food assaulted my nose. and I rushed over to the table and piled my plate high. I heard Ryker chuckle beside me but He didn’t say a word, he just simply joined me. Audrey and Aurora kept babbling on and despite how tired he was, Ryker listened to them patiently and whispered small answers to them. I felt a pang of jealousy that they preferred their father over me but I at the same time, I also didn’t mind. I enjoyed watching their relationship with him. It was something I never had and I wanted them to have it.
