CHAPTER FIVE

York

“Did something happen to Ellis?”

I snap my attention towards Blythe. We’re in the Gathering Room again, but Blythe needed to take a break because of some Braxton Hicks contractions. At least I hope that’s all they are. She doesn’t look too comfortable, and as much as I want to help the other girls wrap makeshift presents in leaves, Blythe’s pregnant and apparently that means I’m the most responsible for her other than Korben, of course.

“What… what do you mean?” I ask.

As if to prove her point, she juts her chin towards the opening. And it’s empty. Hujun and Ellis, who have become permanent fixtures there, are nowhere to be found.

“Did Hujun finally admit his feelings?” Blythe’s face lights up. Poor girl. She’s planning to live vicariously through other people’s sex lives until she gives birth. “Maybe he’s finally taken her back to his room.”

“I doubt it,” I say slowly.

“Why not?” She pouts. “They’ve been spending a lot of time together lately. Maybe Hujun finally realized how lucky he is to have her.”

“He does know that, Blythe.” I lower my voice when a few girls not-so-casually step closer. I’m sure they want to know what’s going on with Ellis too, but I still can’t get Hujun’s warning out from my head. Something happened to her. And Ellis will talk about it eventually. There’s no reason to spread lies and rumors. “They’re building a friendship right now. You know, something most people create before mating?”

She frowns, assuming I’m trying to offend her. But pregnant or not, Blythe is the last person who needs verbal comfort. Compared to most of us here, other than morning sickness, Blythe has it made in the shade. In fact, she’s the only girl who’s truly safe because her mate is the prince with access to all his money.

“Whatever. So what’s the deal with Celeste and Glykoran, then?”

“Seriously?” I frown.

“Yeah. What are they planning to make for the Christmas celebration?”

Oh shit. Yeah. That. “Celeste said Glykoran told her that not a lot of animals live on this part of the planet. Further south? And further north? There are a few species that would work as a turkey, but the game here is pretty tiny. Plus, you know these guys don’t care for meat. Enormous fangs or not.”

“No Christmas ham, I guess?”

“You would be correct, Blythe.”

“What about Christmas cookies?” She sighs deeply. “I don’t know if it’s because I’m pregnant, or I’m missing home for the first time in forever, but I would kill a man for a chocolate chip cookie.”

My eyes light up at this. “There is something similar to cocoa here. Celeste mentioned that.”

“Really?”

“I’m sure it’s not the chocolate we’re used to, but it’s something. Celeste says she and Glykoran are going to mess around with the recipe for a few days. You’re not alone in wanting Christmas cookies.”

“And… Did Celeste say this all to you? Directly?” Blythe looks a little hurt. But she can’t be upset with Celeste for not wanting to talk to her.
