Nine months had passed since the news of Islinda's pregnancy, and with it came profound changes. Changes that transformed Aldric entirely.
The once dangerous and unpredictable prince had become a caring and fiercely protective mate, something no one in the dark Fae court could have imagined. Aldric's love and devotion toward Islinda were obvious, and the entire palace felt the shift in his demeanor.
If Fae males were known to go feral at the sight of another male hovering around their mate, Aldric's protectiveness was even more heightened now that Islinda was pregnant.
Islinda had lost count of the times she had intervened to prevent the royal physician's head from rolling, all because he dared to place a hand on her bare belly to check on the baby's progress.
