move in the same social circles.
    She didn’t really belong to any social circle.
    When the ceremony ended she had left quickly, not comfortable in the large crowd, slipping out of the back with the boys before anyone could speak to her. She’d wanted to come because Willa and her family had been so good to her. Rye had saved her. There had been no question of following him to Zerconia. He was the only person she truly trusted.
    There he was. Thor. His blond hair glistened in the light as he laughed at something someone said. For a moment, her heart stilled as she watched him. How could a man be that gorgeous?
    “Lucy!” She glanced down at Trace as he tugged on her hand. Taking a deep breath, she pushed through the crowd, silently thanking the huge Zerconians that moved out of her way.
    Then she stood behind him, staring at his large, wide back. Crap. How to get his attention? Suddenly, he turned, his eyes widening as he stared down at her.
    “Lucy? Is everything all right?” Concern etched lines around his eyes. “You’re short of breath. Are you ill?”
    She shook her head, taking a step back. “Crown Princess. In labor.”
    “Where’s Dex?” He turned, looking around him. “Has someone informed him? Has he gone to their quarters? Wait, how do you know?”
    “She’s not in her quarters. She’s outside.”
    “Outside?” His eyes widened. “Show me.”
    Ten minutes later, Lucy was running once more. Back towards where she left the Crown Princess and her guard. After tracking down the Crown Prince, he and Thor had rushed out of the palace, leaving her and the boys to follow. Thor contacted Boris, so at least she didn’t have to try and explain where she’d left them. But she still wanted to check on the Crown Princess. She pushed her body as fast as it would go. She already felt close to collapse.
    Lucy turned the corner and there they were. The Crown Princess was still on all fours, her face strained. Thor and the Crown Prince knelt next to the groaning Princess. Struggling for breath, Lucy bent over with her hands on her knees.
    “Zoey. Oh, stars. Are you well?” the Crown Prince asked.
    “No, I’m not bloody well,” the Princess snapped.
    It was a stupid question. It was obvious she wasn’t well.
    “This is my fault. It was what we did earlier. It brought on the baby,” the Crown Prince said, clearly worried as he ran his hand over her back.
    “It wasn’t—”
    “I should have taken better care with you.”
    “Dex, it wasn’t—”
    “I should never have touched you.”
    “Dex, listen—”
    “This is my fault. I will never forgive myself.”
    “Dex, it wasn’t the fucking orgasm!” The Crown Princess screamed. “This was caused by sex. That thing between your legs caused this.”
    Lucy looked over at the boys, who stood wide-eyed watching the Crown Princess. Shoot, she hoped their parents had already had ‘the talk’ with them, or they’d have some questions coming their way.
    “But what we did caused the baby to come.” He turned to Thor. “Was it because I gave her release? Is it my fault?”
    “The baby had to come sometime. It is simply ready now,” Thor replied calmly. It amazed her how calm he was despite all the chaos.
    “See? It wasn’t the orgasm. The orgasm was awesome. It was fantastic. Mind-blowing. This. Is. Not.”
    “We need to move her. Dex, carry her to the clinic. Lucy? Lucy?”
    Lucy gulped, shocked to find Thor standing in front of her. He moved fast for a big guy.
    “Are you well?” he asked.
    She nodded. “Just out of shape.”
    He frowned but turned to watch as the Crown Prince strode away with his mate in his arms.
    “I must go.”
    “Of course.” She waved her hand. “I’m fine.”
    “You should not be out without an escort.”
    She waved her hands at the boys. “I have two.”
    He stared at both boys who watched him solemnly, and she thought he would dismiss them. Instead, he nodded solemnly. “I see that. And they seem very capable
