AT THE SAME TIME
WANESSA'S POINT OF VIEW:
Elera sat gracefully in one of the cushioned chairs, hands folded in her lap, a small but knowing smile on her face. The air in the room was still warm with the aftershocks of laughter, but the moment Emilie and Thom turned their attention to her, everything grew serious again. Wren's mother and father exchanged a glance, their expressions torn between curiosity and hesitation.
"Well." Emilie said, breaking the silence. "I suppose it's time we get an actual explanation. I mean, I can accept my daughter is pregnant, I can accept that there's a literal kingdom involved, and I can even accept the fact that she's apparently mated to a wolf prince." She exhaled. "But I need to know how we got here. And where exactly 'here' is."
Thom crossed his arms, his dark eyes narrowing slightly. "Yeah. One moment, we were at home, and the next portal. Kind of a big leap, don't you think?"Thom said.
