The Kings Sibyl

Chapter thirty-five

Elric

I stared down at my mates swollen stomach in surprise. She had grown immensely since my leaving and I couldn't keep the shock off my face.
"Who are you and why are you in my bed?"
"Elric!" Syndra yelped as she attempted to get up. I rushed to her side, reaching out to steady her. She had lost weight, her cheeks and eyes sunk in and her normally fiery red hair had dulled. She looked ghastly, yet still beautiful. She winced and I glanced down to see her entire stomach shift towards the right.
"What's happened?" I whispered.
"It's a beautiful thing, my beast. We have been graced with more than one child."
"Three to be exact, I suspect two boys and one girl although I could be wrong." The woman spoke finally. "I'm Eve. The witch who's been sharing her power with your offspring when you should be."
The bedroom door opened again, revealing a woman who looked shockingly similar to Eve.
"I sensed your return. Eve, come with me. Dragon King, tend to your beloved. Mark her and share your power or she won't last much longer."
The two women left in a rush, leaving me alone with my beautiful woman.
"Why was I not informed of this? I would have returned. Mouse, please-"
"Make love to me, Elric." She whispered. Her lips came down on mine and my body exploded. I had yearned for her touch for many moons now. Flying with my brethren, my warriors, and all I could think about was her. To be back, to feel her hands on my warm body, made me want to cry with joy. But kings did not cry. So I held my feelings at bay and proceeded to make love to the woman who had captured my heart.
