Page 215 of His Blue Moon Princess

Sylviana sighs and nods. “She is weakened for now, but in a few years, she will probably try again, though I have no idea how. I will try to keep her away for as long as I can, Nora, but my power isn’t unlimited, and her thirst for power will keep growing. She will look for more targets.”

From her eyes, I know what she’s thinking about.

“You mean our children. Like Elena’s baby.”

“I fear so... Your children will be of Royal Blood, Nora, just like you. They will inevitably become her targets, as well.”

“You think we shouldn’t... have children until we stop her?”

Sylviana smiles and shakes her head, putting her hand on mine.

“No, Princess. Nothing should stop you from living your life. After everything you’ve gone through, you more than anyone deserve it. I promise I will do anything I can to protect you and your children, and all of Silver City, for as long as possible. Get married, Nora. Have the children you want with Damian, and when the time comes for a battle, we will be ready.”

She looks so confident when saying this... I don’t want to think of another war coming up. Behind Sylviana’s shoulder, my eyes meet Damian and Liam, who have probably been listening. While Damian is gently smiling at me, Liam has a frown on while staring at his companion. He looks... worried.

“Did you try calling him again?” I ask Damian.

But he shakes his head. So, Nathaniel is still not answering... I can feel his wolf, but he’s obviously ignoring us. Isaac did say he was in bad shape since Elena left.

Liam clicks his tongue. “I don’t give a damn about this idiot, Nora. After what he—”

“Liam, not tonight.”

Sylviana gets up and goes to him to talk, but he still looks annoyed and walks out of the room. I sigh. I miss Elena, and I wish I had been there when all this happened. Daniel gets up to join Bobo and the kids, while Damian takes his spot next to me, taking my hand.

“Don’t worry about Elena. My brother is an idiot, but he’s really in love.”

I can’t help but smile. “You three brothers are so alike... When it comes to love.”

Damian laughs a little and kisses my temple. My eyes follow Liam and Sylviana, who are still talking a bit further. They seem to be disagreeing on something, but I can’t hear what this is about.

“I think Sylviana is right.”

“About what?” Asks Damian.

“About that witch. This is only a break we should enjoy before she comes back. Once she does, we will probably have to face a war… A worse one.”

My mate nods.

“I agree. I’ve talked about it a few times with Sylviana, she’s... She knows a lot. About the future, but she won’t say anything. I think that’s why Liam is so worried about her.”

He stays silent for a while, observing the little twins, who have decided to play with Bobo’s hair. Or more like mess with it. Next to my giant best friend, his nieces look like adorable little dolls. Daniel is carrying Isaac’s baby and laughing at Bobo’s new hairstyle. I like having the laughter of children resonating inside the house...

“Let’s have children,” I whisper.

Damian turns to me, a bit confused.

“I thought that was already in our plans?”

“I mean... Soon.”

“I thought you wanted to put your work first? I don’t mind, but Nora, I don’t want you to rush because of the Witch or something else.”

“It’s not about the Witch, it’s... I already missed two years of work, anyway. And I really want to enjoy my time with you. Talking about the future, I suddenly feel that what I want to see most is not a career, but raising our children. Starting afamily, here. I don’t want to worry about the Witch until then, I just want to live our lives as we would have.”

Damian observes me for a while, then slowly nods. “I understand what you mean. To be honest, since I saw Neal’s children, I’ve been thinking I really want to have a family with you. I’ve focused on work only before we were reunited, but now I want to focus on you, on us. Getting you better first, then our wedding, and having kids.”

“What? Who is taking a break from work?”
