A week later, Ben held Otis’ leash in his hand and leaned against the rail of the ship. George had appeared as promised and Alicia and her pack had helped them load all of Ben’s belongings, even his truck and motorcycle. He had a lot more to bring leaving Aunt Prue’s beach house than when he arrived. He had a lot more friends to say goodbye too as well.

“I never thought I would say this about a witch,” Dover said, leaning into his side, “but I miss Hester.”

“Me too,” Ben said, tightening his arm around Dover. “She promised to come to the wedding. Ryan and Stewart will try to come too.”

Kit winced. The merman stood on Dover’s other side. “I hope father lets you have a wedding.”

“We’ll have a fucking wedding,” Dover said, growling. “My mate wants one so it will happen, even if it’s only at my waterfall.”

Ben grinned. His mate’s growl was too cute to be scary. Chubber sat in Dover’s arms and hissed as he waved his paws. My protectors, Ben thought, chuckling.

Kit grinned. “Kai and I will stand with you, Dover. Plus, you have to put Pearl in the wedding. You know you’re her favorite uncle.”

“Fuck that,” Kai muttered from beside Ben. “I’m the one that buys her anything she wants. I should be her favorite.”

“I don’t know,” Romeu said from where he lounged in a chair on the deck of the ship. “Dover spends the most time with Pearl. You have your work cut out for you, Prince Kai.”

Ben tuned out their bickering and watched Latch Bay approach. Small, green mountains dominated the inland isles and clouds circled the peaks. He knew from Dover’s description that a large river cut through the entire isles and multiple lakes were nestled within the hills of the southern half.

The gleaming white castle stood out from the rest of the approaching city. After his time in the marines, he shouldn’t be surprised that something so clean and beautiful could conceal deadly corruption. The city looked so nice, though.

Have to keep up appearances for the tourists, Ben thought, wanting to snarl.

The rest of the town spread out across the bay and carried over onto the water. Ships and submerged shuttles filled the waters of the bay.

“Holy shit,” he said, leaning over the rail. A herd of hippocampi swam by, their heads rising above the water before diving below. “My god, I’ve never seen so many at once.”

“That’s just one herd,” Kai said, smiling. “We have six herds that we track around our kingdom. One even lives in the largest lake. They’re a protected species here.”

“So are the sprites,” Kit said, leaning around Dover. “We have water sprites all over the isles and forest sprites further inland. On the very top of the highest mountain, there are even a few air sprites.”

“Sprites are extinct in North America,” Ben said, voice full of wonder. “I saw a water sprite when I was deployed once.” The small creature had been made completely of water, but was humanoid in shape.
