Kieran as she faced his mate with a smile. “Hello, what are you called?” she asked gently.
Elena recoiled further from the trio before her. “What the hell are you? And why do you have wings?” her words nearly shrieked in hysteria.
Glancing over her shoulder at her wings, Sera turned to look back with a look of confusion. “My wings? Why wouldn’t I have wings?” Turning to look at Kieran she narrowed her eyes at his avoiding face. “Kieran, tell me you prepared your mate properly and didn’t bring her here without knowledge of what you are?”
Before he could answer, Elena rushed out, “What is he? Someone tell me what the hell is going on right now?”
Sighing, Sera willed her wings away as she slowly drew closer to the startled human woman. “I am called Sera. I am a friend of your sou’tali .”
“My what?”
“ Sou’tali — soul mate,” Sera explained. “You’re no longer on your world, you’re on Garmoria.”
Pursing her lips together, Elena shook her head in denial as she edged around the woman before her like she were a leper. “You’re insane. Look, I don’t care what type of prank this is but you will take me home right now before I call the police!”
Huffing out in irritation, Kieran took a hold of her wrist as he forcibly began dragging his mate out onto the balcony and leaving startled Sera behind. As he jerked her along, Elena struggled against his tight grip. Her nails scratched at his hand as she tugged with all her might to be released. Suddenly she was jerked in front of his body as he came to a stop. His hands moved to grip her shoulders as he forced her to look at the sight before her. It was just like in her dreams of him. A sea of trees and dark mountains were spread out before her eyes. A sight she couldn’t recall ever seeing before.
She flinched slightly at the feel of Kieran’s lips as he whispered softly in her ear, “You are home. This is your home now.”
Opening her mouth to argue, she snapped it shut as she felt her panic building higher than before. “This is a dream,” she whispered, praying it was true.
“This is no dream, Rai Yan. This is the truth, accept it.”
“No.” Jerking out from beneath his hands, she spun away from the railing to face the large arched doorway where Sera stood watching them. She scowled as Sera stepped out onto the balcony and moved closer. Who the hell was this woman and who was she to Kieran?
“You must accept what your mate is telling you, human.”
“My name is Elena — not human and why should I accept anything? For all I know this is a dream just like the others. None of this is real and there is nothing you can do to convince me otherwise,” she retorted, stubbornly crossing her arms over her chest.
Ignoring her stubborn words, Sera turned toward Kieran, who had taken a protective stance closer to his frowning mate. “I will have to tell the Gu’an that you have successfully obtained your mate. I suggest that you instruct her on everything before she is presented to him.”
Not bothering with another word, she allowed her wings to burst from her back. Each wing stretched at least four feet in length. Softly beating her wings she floated above the railing before she allowed her feet to touch down. Casting Kieran one last serious look she turned away before gracefully stepping off the railing.
Rushing forward, Elena gripped the railing as she looked down at Sera’s rapidly descending form. Her stomach clenched with dread as she took in how high up they were. After a few moments she watched as Sera’s sparkling wings spread out and slowly beat behind her as she gently descended to the ground below.
Turning back around, her eyes collided with Kieran’s causing her heart to squeeze in her chest. Could this all be real? The idea confused her almost as much as it terrified her. Even if what he and that woman Sera were saying was true, how was such a thing possible?
