“Good. A little nervous, but good.”

  “All will be well. You’ll see,” he assured her as sat down on one side of her.

  Daimon sat down on the other side and pulled her to him for a long, slow kiss. “I can’t wait to get this over with so we can enjoy our bath together.”

  Her pulse quickened at the thought. “Neither can I.”

  With the medical treatments she’d gotten, along with their magical healing bath, she was practically back to normal. Well, as normal as she could be now that she was a different species.

  The sound of her wrist unit signaling made Mya sigh. “It’s time,” she said again. “Now remember, we are all going to be nice and keep it very civil.”

  “Of course we are,” Tavius agreed.

  “Yes, tava,” Daimon said with a nod.

  Maddox just grunted.

  “Computer, answer wrist unit call on wall screen,” Mya said after taking a deep breath. Then she waited until her brother’s image appeared in front of her.

  “I swear to god, I am going to beat the—”

  Three loud, angry growls cut off High Commander Jax Spartan’s tirade midstream.

  “I will kill you if you even—”

  “You will not touch our mate—”

  “I will rip your hands off—”

  “Okay!” Mya exclaimed loudly. “Now, that we’ve gotten the greetings out of the way, this can…only go downhill.”

  “Mate? Did he say mate? What the hell is that mark on your face? And on them? Are you telling me you fucking made me related to them now? This is just—”

  Serra Spartan-Archer’s face popped on screen as she slapped a hand over Jax’s mouth. “Obviously you can tell we are just so happy for you.”

  Sullivan Archer pushed onscreen as well. He grinned as he said, “Congratulations on your mating!”

  Jax pulled Serra’s hand away from his mouth. “This is crazy. I feel like my head is going to explode.”

  Serra rolled her eyes. “I’m so glad that all of you are okay. When we heard what had happened—”

  “Which we should have heard from you!” Jax yelled. “Why haven’t you been returning my calls?”

  “You mean all twenty of them?” Mya asked dryly. “Jax, it’s only been a few days, and I’ve been recovering. Give it a rest.”

  Jax’s eyes narrowed. “Recovering from what exactly?”

  “Our mate risked her life to save all of New Vega,” Maddox snarled. “You should be proud of her, not yelling at her.”

  “I am proud of her,” Jax said in an offended tone, then he muttered, “Hell…”

  Sullivan coughed to cover a laugh. “So, we’ll be there in a few more days. Sorry it’s taking so long, but we were close to the new space station. We were going there for the grand opening celebration.”

  “We’re sorry you have to miss it,” Daimon said, but his dry tone belied his words.

  “Did Alexis contact you?” Serra asked Mya, hoping that the two women could get the conversation back on some semblance of a normal track.

  “She did. I got to see the new babies. Stars, those twins are cute! She said she wanted to come, but she wasn’t up to traveling yet. Jaden and Katra Tor offered to come here instead to help with the repairs.”

  Serra smiled. “With two Dragon Warriors on repair duty? You should have it all done in a day.”

  “If that long,” Mya said with a laugh. “We really do appreciate them coming.”

  “Is Lord Malik Rego there yet?” Jax asked.

  “We didn’t know he was coming.”

  “I figured as much. He’s been looking for his sister for weeks now. He’ll want to come face you personally after the havoc his sister caused.”

  Tavius frowned. “But it wasn’t his fault.”

  “No, but it is a matter of honor.”

  Because he could understand that, Tavius nodded. “He will be welcome here.”

  “So, let’s go back to my earlier question,” Jax said stiffly. “What exactly are you recovering from?”

  Mya groaned. “You are so annoying sometimes.”

  “True. Now stop stalling and answer the question,” he snapped.

  In the past, she would have usually complied. But not now. Not when all three of her mates were growling in anger that her brother had dared use that tone of voice with her. Deciding to do a little growling of her own, she said, “Watch it, Jax, or I may just shift into beast mode and kick your ass when you get here.”

  She called forth the change, just enough to allow her eyes to turn from gray to red, and watched as three pairs of eyes widened on the screen.

  Jax began sputtering. “What the fuck?”

  Mya picked up the wrist unit and ended the call with a grin. “That was…more satisfying than I thought it would be.”

  Maddox chuckled as wrapped both of his arms around her. “I still want to punch him for speaking to you that way.”

  “I can’t wait to fuck with him more when he gets here,” Tavius said with glee.

  Daimon just sighed, then said, “He’s never going to leave New Vega now.”

  “He will once he sees how much I love all of you, and how happy I am.”

  Tavius’ expression sobered. “Are you happy here, Mya?”

  “Happier than I ever imagined I could be. You’ve given me my dream. Actually, you’ve made all my dreams come true.”

  Daimon smiled at her tenderly. “Then you’ll just have to come up with more dreams so we can give you those as well.”

  “Well…there is one thing I still want.”

  “Tell us and well get it for you,” Maddox announced.

  She’d been hoping they would say that. She lightly brushed her lips against his, then pushed off his lap to stand in front of all three of them. “Then we should move this party to the bedroom.”

  Maddox’s brow furrowed. “I don’t understand.”

  Daimon looked confused as well. “Tell us what it is, and we’ll give it to you.”

  Watching their expressions, she whispered, “Babies. I want children with you. I know we haven’t talked about this yet, but Dr. Deveaux said my birth control implant automatically deactivated when you converted me.”

  Mya got what she’d been hoping for when all of their dark eyes filled with a combination of love, longing and happiness.

  Maddox rose to his feet, scooping her up in his arms again. “Why don’t we start on that…right now.”

  Her laughter rang out as all four of them made their way to the bedroom. Mya had always wanted to fall in love, and be loved in return…to be first in someone’s life. And now she had three strong mates who loved her. They had given her a dream, and she knew they would always take care of her.

  And Mya would take care of them right back.

  After all, she was the alpha female of New Vega.
