Grandma Shannon? She’s going to be at the lunch, isn’t she?”
“I can’t believe you got the nerve to get those pierced. You know your mates will love this. And yes, your grandmother will be there. Nana is determined that you have the new, old and borrowed items for the ceremony.”
“Oh crap. I forgot about those. I swear my mind is in a fog.” Sierra shook her head. “I know there are other things I’m forgetting, but my mind just can’t seem to function.”
“That’s what we’re here for, sweetie. Don’t worry about it and let’s go so we can meet everyone,” Queen Loretta said, laughing. She grabbed her hand, leading her out of the room with the others close behind.
“Sierra, I wanted to talk to you before we meet with the others. I’ve already spoken with your mates, your parents and my daughter. We’re all in agreement you’ll be the next Queen of the Fey if something should happen to me.”
Sierra stopped and stared at her. “What? We really don’t need to talk about this now do we? You’re in perfect health.”
Queen Loretta smiled and patted her hand, pushing her forward. “I’ve already had it written and proclaimed it to all of my advisers and warriors. Even if they rescue your grandfather, your mates will be kings. It’s time to change hands soon. In a few days I’ve arranged for my personal assistant, who I trust with my life, to start your training.” She sighed and paused for a moment walking down the hallway. “Your mates know of the ways of the Fey. They’ll help you. I know this is a lot to take in but it’s important that you understand. My daughter does not have the power level to be Queen and neither does your mother. Only you and your mates have that power. It’s in your blood to lead our people. I believe this is also why so many are after you. No matter what, your ceremony must take place tonight. Our enemies are gathering to attack—I feel it. With you joined with your mates, nothing can separate you. This is what our enemies are afraid of and we must use it against them. Do you understand?” She stopped by a door, her gaze holding hers.
Nodding, Sierra said, “Yes, Grandmother, but I don’t know why it’s so important that we come together in a hurry. Why would our joining make a difference to everyone?”
“The ceremony and the joining of your bodies will enhance your powers. Your power level is already higher than mine, dear girl, as is your mates’ magic. Every two thousand years there is a mated trio who are born to have great power in coming times of war. My advisers and I believe you and your mates are this trio. Together, you possess the power and wisdom that will be needed. Don’t be afraid of it, Sierra. You’ll have many to help you through this time,” Loretta said and caressed Sierra’s cheek.
“Now let’s get this party in gear, shall we? Everyone is waiting for us.” She pushed the door open to see some of her friends and family there waiting for them.
Chapter Fourteen
Sierra’s friends and family surrounded her with hugs and congratulations, but something was off. Her muscles were tense and her stomach rebelled. Shoving a hand through her unruly hair, she sent out her thoughts. Roman, Garth…can you hear me? Sierra fidgeted and scanned the room. Something evil was closing in around her, but glancing around the room she couldn’t see anything, but her gut told her something wasn’t right.
Yes, baby, we’re here. We’ll always be here. What’s wrong? Your heart is beating too fast, match it to ours.
Sierra sighed, the comfort of their love surrounding her like warm, strong arms. I feel like something’s off. Something is watching us. I can’t put my finger on it. I don’t know…maybe it’s my nerves. It’s not every day I get married. Sierra laughed, trying to shake off the feeling of doom.
We don’t sense anything, baby, Garth reassured her.
But we’ll have Chandler and the Fey Guard keep closer
