of losing her child was the most frightening thing she’d ever experienced. But the medics of the Obsidian Palace had helped her safely deliver the baby, using her body’s own natural processes.

She’d wanted more than anything to give birth to her baby, rather than have him cut from her womb the way the other brides of Galaton had given birth.

Her sweet child had even suckled soon after coming into the world. Ella was a proud and happy momma. Looking at her valiant mate as he drove them home for the first time, her heart sang with gladness and true love.

He’d done it. He’d won back the Water Lands for their family. Now they had a place to go to call their own. Ella didn’t need to be a princess. She didn’t need a palace. All she needed was Shay.

But Ella knew that Shay needed to maintain his lands for the future of his family line. It meant the world to him, no matter what he said. She would help him preserve his kingdom with the last breath in her body, if for no other reason than for the love for her prince.

When they made it to the Water Lands, Ella noted the vast sandy beaches that stretched around the edge of the ocean. She couldn’t see it with her naked eye, but she knew the oceans covered a huge section of the planet.

The speeder began to dive toward the water and her first instinct was to recoil. But Ella had been on a spaceship long enough to know that all would be well.

They dove under the surface of the water and into the depths. Huge sea creatures swam past, dwarfing the speeder with their massive size. The scale of these creatures was beyond imagining. Some were at least twice the size of the largest whale on Earth. Others were lithe and agile like dolphins. But they did not look like Earth sea creatures. They all had trunks like elephants, making them seem almost comical to her human eyes.

They approached the dome, and Shay maneuvered the speeder into an exit hatch. Soon, they were flying over a vast city, made of pink and green spiraling coral towers. Florescent green lights flickered from the windows of the towers. Ella knew these lights were made of bioluminescent algae and they filled the depths of the ocean with bright green light.

It was a wonderland to behold and her heart thrilled at the sight of her new home. Shay set the speeder down on a landing pad and helped his new family out the exit. They were met by Shay’s loyal men. A medic appeared with a hovering chair for Ella to sit in for the walk into the palace.

She sat with the baby, and Shay pushed the chair behind her, telling her everything about the wonders she saw. He explained how the coral stayed alive. He explained how the algae lights worked. It was all so interesting and she couldn’t wait to understand and experience everything in the Water Lands and on Galaton.

Soon, they were upstairs in their new chambers. The deep sea colors of coral pink and kelp green filled the room. Shay helped Ella sit on a comfortable Draconian foam couch, while she held the baby in her arms.

“It is so good to be home,” she said as Shay sat beside her.

She cradled her child in her arms, loving him more with each passing second.

“What should we call him?” she finally asked.

“Winnor Vishak,” Shay said.

Ella giggled. “Like winner?”

“No, Winnor,” Shay said. “It was my father’s name.”

“I like it,” Ella said. “He will be Winnor Vishak from a long line of Vishak winners.”

“Indeed.”

Ella giggled again. She and Shay were from two very different cultures. They’d never even met when they’d conceived their child. But even with all of that, they were still perfect for each other. Ella would never forget how grateful she was in that moment.

Her heart swelled with pride and warmth as Shay put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his chest. She held the baby close and felt Shay’s strong embrace around her.

After all this time, and after all their troubles, Ella Turner was finally home.
