where? Way up here? Alone?”
    “They won’t be alone. They’ll have us, babe. Not to mention a shitload of aunts and uncles at the mansion, spoiling them rotten.” He wiped a tear from her cheek. “We’ll start our own traditions. Together.”
    “But it won’t be like it was.” As soon as Evy said it, she regretted it. Troy never had this. Not any of it. “Oh, my God. I’m so sorry, my male. I didn’t mean…”
    He wiped a tear from her cheek. “No worries. I understand what you’re sayin’. The thing is, our offspring won’t miss somethin’ they’ve never had. I can see why bein’ here would rile you up, but we have plenty of time to figure this out.”
    When she didn’t respond, he panicked and immediately felt for her emotions. Sadness mingled with uncertainty. But there was something else hiding behind it. The acrid smell of fear hit his nostrils.
    “Don’t do that!” Evy gleamed out and materialized on the opposite side of the roof. She knew he would follow her, but it broke the emotional connection between them. She could still hear the parade, but at least now she couldn’t see it. It was all just too much. Her legs shook and she put her hands on the cement barrier to steady herself. She could hear her mate’s heavy boot steps crossing the roof, cutting the distance between them. She felt his energy as he stopped beside her.
    He leaned his elbows on the barrier and kicked it with his boot. “I’m sorry. I know we agreed I wouldn’t do that. I guess I just panicked. The past day or two, I can’t seem to deal with being away from you. I thought it was just the mating, but now, I dunno. Maybe I’m losin’ it.”
    Evy turned to him and looked up into his glowing aqua eyes. They were brighter than she’d ever seen them. A warm feeling passed through her and everything else, including the parade, faded to the background like a scrim during the ballet. “I’m pregnant.”
     
    Troy didn’t know exactly what he’d expected to hear. Maybe somethin’ between concern that they might’ve missed the Star Wars marchers and sadness that she couldn’t be with her family. Even so, it took only seconds for everything to click into place. The constant arousal. The crazy need to know where she was at all times. The protective instinct. It all made sense.
    “Are you sure?”
    “I had a vision about it yesterday when I was holding Maya, so I went to see Helen this morning. I was convinced I’d misread the premonition. I’d never had one of the present before. But the blood test came back positive.” She looked up into his face, her eyes questioning. “Are you mad?”
    “Mad? Are you kiddin’?” He lifted her straight off her feet and held her close. “Our own family, Ev.”
    She laughed and he let her happiness wash over him. Mistake. He got so lost in her that he completely forgot about the parade and gleamed them back to the mansion. Ah, well. Evy seemed okay with the sitch. She reached up and brought his mouth down to hers and a shiver made its way down his spine.
    “I love you so much,” he whispered softly against her mouth.
    “I love you, too, my male.”

CHAPTER THREE
    Reyn gently knocked on the door to his room where his mate was readying herself for James’s Induction.
    “Come.”
    “I’m not disturbing you, am I?”
    She smiled up at him from the floor where she sat on a couch pillow. “Not at all. I am almost finished.”
    “I don’t remember you taking this much time to prepare before.”
    “I am not preparing for the ceremony. I was…” She stopped and looked away. “I was trying to detect the location of the cold presence. I will need to know whether or not it is safe before I leave.”
    “Hold on now. We had a deal, Kina. You were going to stay longer this time to hide your trail.”
    She stood up and put her arms around his neck. “Hours, Reyn. Not days or weeks. We don’t have much time. The naguals need my protection more than ever before. If it appears
