I know I'm super late and that I promised that this would be up by Easter but I've had some technical issues with my computer and my chapter kept getting deleted(??!!) I've literally had a breakdown about it and I was super excited to post this chapter up for y'all but hey, life sometimes screws things up (a lot, in my case). But here it is anyway!!!! Hope y'all had an amazing Easter and I will update again ASAP because f*** studying for finals am I right?!
Lots of love and hugs from your humble author,
Donna <3 xxx

Please tell me that she's just a really bad predictor.
My eyes widened as I looked over at Jaycon. He stood awkwardly next to Clayre as she held onto his arm and stroked it soothingly. He opened his mouth like he was going to argue but closed it again. I narrowed my eyes in on him.
Despite how much I loved Jaycon like the dorky older brother I never had, he should know where his limits lay.
My body began heating up and I knew I was going to end up in flames like a fucking Phoenix soon.
"Please tell me it's not true." I said calmly, the evenness in my voice taking him by surprise but he still hesitated to answer.
"Jaycon, answer her." Lucien spoke up and came over to stand by my side. He looked cool and collected like his normal self on the outside but on the inside, he was pissed as hell and I could feel it.
"Yes, she is." Jaycon finally said and my knuckles tightened and I squeezed my eyes shut.
Don't go ape-shit, Isadora. Not now anyways.
I took a steady breath and opened my eyes again. I wore the brightest smile the sun had ever seen which seemed to take everyone by surprise. Even Lucien raised his eyebrows. Queen Negin looked a little shook, Jaycon looked majorly creeped out and Clayre looked prepared to make a run for the hills. Smart girl.
"Omigoshsoimgonnabeanaunty!" I squealed with excitement and ran over to Jaycon and Clayre, wrapping my arms around the both of them in a tight hug, making sure to squeeze Jaycon a bit more.
"Iz, stop. You're creeping me out right now and do you mind letting me at least get some air?" Jaycon wheezed beside me as he tried to pry my arm off from around his neck.
"I'm so so so happy for you guys!" I gushed as Jaycon stared at me in horror like I'd grown an extra two heads.
I spun around to face Queen Negin who seemed unsure of how to react to what was happening.
"Queen Negin, thank you for your offer of allying with us in the upcoming war. We will call for you when the time will come. For now I think we should go home seeming as my bestfriend is expecting a baby and it would probably be best if she got some rest." I quickly bowed my head and she nodded her head in acceptance.
"Farewell, Isadora Pallas. We will meet again soon."
With that, she turned around and walked away into a large hut followed by her trustees.
I turned around to Lucien as he watched me with curiosity.
"I think we should walk out of this goddamn rainforest and head back home." I said as the side of his lips turned upwards in a small playful smirk.
"You are one interesting human, Isadora Pallas. I don't think my life has ever been as interesting before you walked in." He mused as his gaze bore into me.
