I wake up the next morning to an empty bed and quickly get up and go to the bathroom to shower in the misty, waterfall like shower before getting ready for the day. Once I'm dressed in a long sleeve lace white top and light lavender colored skirt, I quickly make my way out of the room and begin to travel through the palace to find Rayne or one of his family members who might know where he is.As I reach the kitchen, I see Poppy and Zane sitting at the table eating."Hello, Autumn." Zane greets me kindly, as I walk towards them."Hey, have you guys seen Rayne? When I woke up, he wasn't there, usually he wakes up and tells me where he is going before he leaves." I say, hoping they would know where he went.Both Poppy and Zane frown slightly."We haven't seen him either sweetheart. Stella should be in her room and Bella in her office if you want to try asking one of them." Pop replies."Okay, thank you!" I reply, before quickly making my way to Stella's room.I knock on her door softly a
Hours had passed since Stella had arrived to the room and we were still waiting for Bella and Zane to come and talk to us, as there still had been no sign of Rayne. "What do you think is going on?" I ask Pop, as we continue to sit and sip tea. "Knowing Zane, him and Bella are most likely questioning everyone in the palace trying to find someone who may have seen Rayne." she replies simply. "Why is it taking so long?" I ask. "You don't want to know." Stella replies gently, and I furrow my brows, not really liking the sound of it but also somewhat curious to know why. Before I can even try to push the topic, the door opens and we all jump up thinking it's Rayne, only for Zane to walk inside. "Where is Bella?" Pop asks, as she notices Bella is not with him. "She is going back to the office to look around and see if maybe Rayne left any note on any issues or received any letters that perhaps he didn't share with anyone." Zane replies, and Pop nods her head in understanding. "Did yo
Holy shit. It was Bella. What the hell was she doing here? She was supposed to be in her office. Unless maybe she came down here to interrogate one of the prisoners? I watch as she moves some vines away from the wall and I see a pink flower that looks just like the ones on the vine, but yet wasn't attached to it which was strange. As I continue to watch, she grabs the flower and twists it around three times before suddenly the wall beside her covered in vines as well, suddenly pops out. She grabs it and pulls it open, just enough so she can slip inside before it shuts quietly behind her. We stay crouched for a few more minutes before standing back up and making our way to the same vines. Ready? As ready as I will ever be. We repeat the same process and quietly but cautiously go through the door as it shuts behind us. I look down to see concrete stairs going down a flight or two and we make our way down until we reach the bottom. I see a steel door with a small window, and we qui
I wake up and stretch, feeling refreshed and full of life. As I open my eyes, I look around to see a room full of people and furrow my brows, but as my eyes settle on Zephyr, everything quickly comes back to me. "Bella?" I ask, looking over at Rayne. "In a cell with on the clock watch." he replies, and I let out a small breath of relief. "How are you feeling, little fawn?" I hear Ryker say, and look over to see him standing beside the other side of my bed. "Great." I reply, happy to see him. "Autumn, we are so sorry for everything that happened. We still cannot believe Bella was behind this the whole time." Poppy admits sadly. "It's okay, Pop. It was a shock to me too, but I quickly went into save my mate mode. I guess it triggered my inner fae in the process." I reply, with a small smile. "You are very powerful for part fae." Zephyr comments, making me grin. "Must be from our mother." I say softly, and he gives me a sad smile. "I'm sorry for everything that happened. Bella w
It's been a few weeks since being in the fae realm and I was now 22 weeks pregnant. Once we had left the fae realm, we had gone back to Ryker's for a while before traveling back to my father's land where I had an ultrasound and found out I was having twin boys. I was pretty excited and so was Ryker and Rayne for the most part. Ever since everything that had happened with Bella, Rayne had to make the decision of what to do with her. In the end, he chose execution. As much as it killed him to have her killed, it would have hurt him and his family more to watch her suffer and die slowly in a cell for the rest of her life and after her crimes those were her only choices, so he told me. Ever since then, he has been distant. He does his best to be happy, but I can tell he is hurting. To make it worse though, he also has been traveling back to the fae realm a lot and wasn't with us as much which made me sad, but I knew he needed his time and space to cope and grieve and I had respect that.
A few more weeks has passed since Zephyr came and met the other side of my family and he has made it a habit to come and visit me at least 3 times a week since then. My father's side of the family and Zephyr have gotten along amazingly. Lucy has even taken him in like her own son, since finding out they he has never had any motherly figure in his life since my mother vanished. I'm now 29 weeks and my belly has gotten much larger. I still have 11 weeks to go but I was happy because today was my baby shower and the best part? It was in my new house. It was finally built, and I couldn't wait to see the inside of it. The boys wanted me to wait until today, saying that one of the large baby shower gifts was already there, and they wanted it to be a big surprise. Lucy had already been there, and she said it was a beautiful house and that I was absolutely going to love it and it was big enough to hold all the family that lived away so that ways when we had big family get togethers, like to
The day was finally here. The twins would be exiting the womb and coming into our lives physically and I was beyond excited and terrified. Today I would be getting a planned C-Section. I was 36 weeks pregnant, and my doctor advised having a planned C-Section as my babies weren't growing much anymore, most likely due to my small size so it was best for them to come out, so they could continue to grow. "How are you feeling, princess?" Rayne asks, laying next to me. We had just woken up and Ryker went to go wake up the rest of the family since everyone had come down again just this time for the birth and were staying with us. "Excited but terrified. I am so excited to see their little faces, but the thought of having my stomach cut open is just terrifying." I reply, anxiety coursing through my veins. "It'll be okay, princess. You won't feel a thing and me and Ryker will be there the whole time." he replies soothingly. "Thank you." I say, and he kisses me softly. The past couple week
I stood in front of the mirror and smiled as I looked over my beautiful forest green dress one last time. "Beautiful, mommy." my sweet daughter Sabrina's voice murmured from behind me. Turning around I smiled at the little angel who looked just like Rayne. "Not as beautiful as you." I smiled to her. Grabbing her small hand, I led her out of the room and down the stairs where Lucy and Selena were patiently waiting for us with wide smiles. "You look so beautiful, Autumn." Lucy compliments, before pulling me into a quick hug. "Thanks, Luce. Is everyone here?" I ask, and she nods her head happily. "Did the boys make it to their fathers?" I ask, and she laughs. "Shockingly, yes." she replies, and we all laugh. "Come on, Sabrina. Let's go outside and wait with everyone." Selena pipes up before scooping her up into her arms. I watch them leave before slipping on some black ballet flats and turning towards Lucy. "Thank you for doing this with me." I tell her softly, as she takes my

The day had gone amazing. The fae realm was the most beautiful, mystical place I had ever seen, and I truly loved it. I couldn't help but picture my babies being able to run around it and play here when they were old enough. The palace was huge, much bigger than I could ever have imagined but it was beautiful and filled with any room you could imagine. The garden was full of different plants and flowers and beautiful large trees with some of prettiest flowers I had ever seen on them. Wildlife was everywhere, living freely and happily. They loved fae as much as the fae loved and cherished them. Giving them a unique relationship and newfound respect you didn't see anywhere else. Bonding time with Rayne's family had also went extremely well. I could definitely see how come him and Stella were so close, their personalities were so similar, especially their funny side. Bella although not close to Rayne, got along well with me as I did her. She was very wise and smart and gave me all the b
