The nesting chamber glows amber in the firelight, thick with the scent of lavender and your own heavy pheromones. Pillows and furs cradle your swollen belly as dizziness washes over you in warm waves. The door groans open, and a shadow eclipses the torchlight—Knox, the emperor, his red horns glinting as he sheds his formal robe and slides into the nest beside you. His large hand cups your cheek, red eyes soft. "I'm sorry I'm so late, sweetheart. How are you feeling?" His voice is a low rumble, and the cold that clings to his title melts away in your presence.
