Even at a distance, I could see Gregor’s face light up when he spotted Jonah and I walking toward his tree from the portal which Sirene had created for us. Her portal was quicker than coursing to the League headquarters to access the entrance to Avellane. Things seemed calm here, which brought me a sense of relief. I’d been afraid of arriving in the middle of another massacre.

“This is a welcome change from coursing to headquarters and back,” Jonah snorted as we linked hands. “A shame we haven’t had a witch in our family all this time. It would’ve made travel so much easier.”

I only raised an eyebrow. “Now I know for sure that you’ve come around on Sirene, or else you would never speak those words. You would never even think them.”

“I happen to enjoy the convenience,” he smirked.

I knew he was teasing and wouldn’t admit it under the threat of imminent death, but he cared a great deal about Sirene. Whether or not that caring was only the result of his promise to Fane, I couldn’t say.

But I didn’t think it was.

“I didn’t expect to see the two of you so soon,” my father smiled when we reached his chambers.

Jonah squeezed my hand, signaling me. He was right: this was my question to ask. I swallowed over the lump of emotion which had suddenly clogged my throat. “We want to be married. Right away.”

Gregor’s eyes widened. “Now?”

“Yes. Please.”

My father chuckled. “You know, in my day there was such a term in the human world as a “shotgun wedding,” where the father pushed the groom to the altar by way of sticking a shotgun in his back. Normally took place when the bride was already in the family way. I can’t help but be reminded of that now.”

Jonah laughed as my cheeks burned with embarrassment. “This isn’t coming out right,” he explained. “Anissa plans to take a trip and I can’t imagine saying goodbye to her for even a little while without knowing she’s my wife. We’ve waited long enough. I can’t wait any longer.”

Gregor smiled, clapping him on the back. “Now, that’s the sort of thing a father wants to hear. I would be delighted to perform a ceremony right away.” His eyes looked a little watery when they met mine.

This was happening. We were minutes from being husband and wife.

If only Mom were here. Sara. Allonic. I reminded myself of what truly mattered: marrying the man I loved.

“Gregor?” Felicity burst into the room with Allonic behind her.

My heart almost burst with relief. I hadn’t expected to see my brother again. Knowing that he could be here for my wedding made things as close to perfect as could be, given the circumstances. “You two can be witnesses!”

They stopped short.

“What?” Felicity asked.

“We’ve come to be married immediately,” Jonah explained with a grin. “We’re both excited, in case it isn’t evident.”

“You’ve come to be married? Right now?” Allonic asked, a smile making an appearance.

“I know you have other things on
