hands. “And I allowed the children to get captured with me.”
    “ That’s not what I meant.” Morgan grabbed her arms when Melly wouldn’t look at her. “I am not blaming you; I’m trying to say we are better together. That’s all.”
    Melly sucked in a breath, letting the doubt wash out of her . She tilted her head and listened. She wanted to be sure before she dropped this bomb. Finally, she took her sister’s hands in both of hers. “You’re going to have a baby.”
    It felt like every particle of air was sucked from the room , and then Eben and Ladon were both suddenly standing with their mate.
    “ You are sure?” Eben asked, his hands going around Morgan’s shoulders to pull her back into his arms. The shock on her face was almost comical. Ladon cleared his throat. “We are having a child?”
    Melly smiled at them, laughing through the happy tears that fell from her eyes. “Yes. I am sure. She is with child and it will breed dragon true.” She touched Ladon’s arm. “But if any of you go on this journey there will be danger to the child, and to Dracon.”
    “ The wind tells you this?” Eben asked gruffly. “How is it possible?”
    “ How long have you known?” Morgan placed a hand at her stomach, wonder in her eyes, and suspicion. “I have seen you when a vision takes you, and that did not happen today.”
    “ I have known for a while that it would happen, and before you ask, I didn’t tell you because you weren’t actually pregnant until right now.”
    Morgan sputtered , then looked behind her to Ladon and Eben, then blushed to the roots of her hair. Both her mates chuckled, Ladon leaning forward to kiss her hard on the lips. He smiled rakishly. “I guess you were right earlier, little falcon; we were done.”
    Morgan blushed redder , if that was possible, then squealed when Eben suddenly spun her into his arms and lifted her high. She came down with a gasp, her arms going around his neck.
    The look in his eyes as he looked up at his mate was so personal Melly moved away, even as she was unable to take her eyes off them. She backed up against something hard and knew from the power wrapping around her that it was General Solan. She tried to step away but a hand found her hip and held her still. There was a rightness in his touch she could not explain.
    Eben was studying his mate, his eyes blazing antique gold. “I had many years to understand what was important, and to give up hope of ever finding it. You gave me my heart back when I was sure it had crumbled to dust through the lonely eons. You gave me a family when I thought to never have one.” He swallowed hard, his eyes blazing so much warmth that Melly felt it even so far away, and blanketed in Solan’s heat. “I never imagined you could give me more than you already had.” He dropped his forehead to hers, his eyes closing. “Thank you Shameaa. For making this old heart beat again.”
    Ladon moved in behind her and wrapped his arms around both of them as Morgan looked into antique gold that had gone liquid with warmth.
    Ladon chuckled, even as he buried his face in Morgan’s brown hair. “Considering how old you are, Eben, I’m thinking that it will be a gold dragon like his father.”
    Eben looked up and smiled a true smile , his eyes catching both his mates. “I care not as long as he is ours.”
    “ He?” Morgan sniffed narrowing her eyes at both of them. “You both assume it’s a boy.”
    “ Yes.”
    “ Of course.” Eben chuckled at her look of consternation. “Female dragons are extremely rare, Shameaa. It will most certainly be a male.”
    Melly cleared her throat and had every eye in the place trained her way in a heartbeat. And clearly, they did not care for her proximity to the other male, if their narrowed eyes were any indication. But they were easily distracted.
    “ You know the sex, don’t you?” Morgan asked, pushing at Eben to place her back on her feet. He seemed disinclined and she was forced to
