CHAPTER 27: WHISPERS IN THE WATER

*Maddy*

I curl my toes in the hot sand and shiver with warmth. The sun beats down on my bare shoulders, and a cool ocean breeze touches my cheeks. My lips taste like saltwater, and I squint up into the sun, shielding my eyes with my hand.

I’ve never been anywhere more beautiful in my life, and I’m not sure I ever want to leave.

“Two boys,” Maddox says, followed by the sound of him clapping Isaac hard on the shoulder as they walk ahead of me along the beach. “It’s a true blessing of the Goddess, Isaac.”

“I know,” Isaac replies, his voice fading as he continues, “but I’m worried about succession…”

My stomach does a little flip. Whether it’s from the nerves I’ve felt coming off my mate since we found out about our boys, or from one of those boys doing a little twirl, I’m not sure. I ignore the former and rest my hand on my belly as I let the gentle, turquoise waves brush over my toes and ankles.

Isla comes to stand next to me in her wide-brim hat and sunglasses. She gives me a smug smile. “Great, isn’t it?”

“I can see why you live here.” I reach down as best I can with my belly in the way to grab a seashell out of the sand, rolling it over in the palm of my hand.

“That’s a nice one,” she says, leaning in to see the shell.

We stand for a moment in each other’s company, and I toss the shell into the little basket I’ve been carrying with me during our walk.

But Isla has to return to the castle where Alpha Anthony and Luna Poppy live and rule soon. She has a meeting with a group of priestesses from KiloKilo in a bit.

“Look at them,” she says, pointing toward the fading forms of Isaac and Maddox. “They’ve completely left us behind.”

I sigh heavily and dust sand from my fingertips on the breezy yellow sundress I’m wearing. “Isaac is incredibly stressed out right now. I thought coming here would make him feel better, honestly.”

Isla and I watch the men walk out of sight, disappearing in the golden haze cast by the setting sun. “The twins were a surprise.”

I run my tongue along my lower teeth. “I understand his hesitation in feeling… joy, right now. He’s worried for my health, and he’s worried for their future.”

Isla nods as she adjusts her hat. “Walk with me back to the castle?”

I turn with her and watch our footprints disappear in the waves as the tide rolls in. Neither of us say anything for several minutes, both lost in our own crushing thoughts.

“Your first born son will be the heir,” Isla says lightly. “That’s just how it’s done. Isaac shouldn’t fret over it.”

“Well, he is, and he’s dragging me down with him. That, and the fact Cassian is a ticking time bomb isn’t helping matters much.”

Isla toys with the beads on her dress. “Her paintings…” She lets out her breath in a pained sigh.
