I stare at a blanket of brightly colored flowers unlike any I’ve ever seen in my life. “This is the garden?”

Torshek places a hand low on my back and guides me forward. “One of them. This one belongs to Arden. She permitted us to visit.”

I whip my head toward him and stumble. The only reason I don’t fall is because Torshek still has his hand on my back. “It’s Arden’s?” I whisper, stunned.

Torshek nods. “Her nest gifted it to her.”

My eyes return to the vast garden spread out in front of me. Arden said they were generous, but this is unreal.

It stretches out so far that I can’t see where it ends. It’s almost enough to distract me from the purple-hued sky and the alien mountains in the distance.

I’m not on Earth, and the physical reminder is without a doubt intimidating as hell. Yet, I’m not afraid with Torshek walking close beside me, his large hand on my back.

“You don’t scare me as much as you did before,” I admit quietly.

“It is only natural to fear a thing still new to us, Ri’ashi.”

I nod my agreement. “You go through portals to new worlds. Is there anything you’re afraid of?”

I doubt there is. One look at a Mostiri’s claws and whatever creature they came across would turn tail and run. I know I would.

“Only one thing, Ri’ashi.” He angles to the right, and we continue through this bright, colorful garden. I don’t know where he’s leading us, but this is no casual wander. This has a purpose.

“And that thing is?” I ask.

“You.”

I pause, tilting my head up to meet his eyes. Hopefully not for too long because I will for sure get a crick in my neck. “I don’t understand.”

He stops and turns to fully face me. “Before Bosek and his nest found Arden, it was… manageable not having a bonded nest. We had existed on Khular for so long that none of us expected we would have one again. Arden changed that.”

“Made things better?” I guess.

“Worse,” is his surprising answer, making me more confused than before.

Likely reading the confusion on my face, Torshek resumes walking. “To see his nest with her, the bond forming between them, hear her laughter, and knowing each night they were joining with their bonded…”

I hadn’t thought monsters would know anguish, but it’s exactly what I hear in Torshek’s voice. Anguish.

“They had what we had always longed for and might never find. To see it in front of us, to know it existed in the universe and that we might never have it ourselves, was worse, Ri’ashi. It is not a kind thing to admit, but it was easier when none of us had it.”

I think I know what he means. I wish I didn’t, but I do.

“The place my father sent me was in the middle of nowhere,” I say, speaking quietly.

Torshek lowers his head as if to hear me better.

“He had servants take me there when I was seven. At first, I thought he did it because he could see how close I was to Mom—closer than I was to him.
