Elise walked through the crowds of revelers, her hand tightly clasped around Kian’s. She had gotten used to big celebrations over the years because the fae loved a party, but she had also learned to stick close to her mate and use him as a buffer when she got tired of talking.

"You are frowning, Elise. Is everything okay? Do you need some water?" Kian asked, pulling her gently away from the fire.

Elise smiled fondly up at him. "You're still a pushy ass mate."

"And you are still an infernal human," Kian replied, leaning down to kiss her forehead. "I'll never stop worrying about your comfort, Elise."

"You're so sappy," she said, gently pulling on his antler.

His eyes heated. "Don't start that, or there will be trouble."

"Ohhh, you got me so scared, Blood Prince."

Kian nipped her on the neck, making her jump and horny all in a split second. He whispered against her skin, "Scared is not how I want you, my beautiful mate."

Oh gods, she really shouldn't have started this when they had fuck knew how long to go of socializing. They were interrupted by a group of screaming children running to the lake to swim. Kian chuckled at the sight.

"I'll have to ask Alruna what the elves do to have so many little ones running about," he said, his smile dimming. Fae fertility rates were a problem that he was still trying to solve.

You need to tell him, a little voice whispered to her.

Elise wanted to tell him about not having a period for eight weeks now, but she didn't want to get his hopes up and have it not happen. She knew it wasn't just a hunch. She had been carrying around a positive pregnancy for days. She just didn't know how to bring it up. She hadn't even told Chrissy. Mostly because she would tell Oberon, and there would be no way to hold back his excitement.

"Our secret to getting children is a blood sacrifice every nine years," Gudrun piped up from behind them. The volvä waggled her brows at them.

"Really? What kind of blood sacrifice?" Kian asked curiously.

"Don't tell him that. He will believe it," Elise complained.

Gods, the things he had done to protect and preserve his people weighed heavily enough on him. He didn't need to think blood sacrifice was the way to go to make more babies.

"It's a joke, my prince. The real secret is the land. You look after its fertility, and the land will look after you. You and the fae have only just realigned your magic to the earth, so it needs time," Gudrun replied. She looked Elise over. "Something tells me it's already working."

The witch winked at them and twirled away into the crowd. Elise was going to murder her.

"Hmm, a blood sacrifice might have been easier." Kian frowned at her. "What's that look about? She was only joking. And I would never consider such a thing...unless there was no other choice. I mean, technically, it could work if it was the right spell.
