Chapter ?241 [Bonus Chapter] A Decision

"Elty!" Tania exclaimed. "How long have you been sitting here? Do you know what happened just now?" Even though she was feeling a little tired, Tania was excited to share the news that her wings had spread open. She was surprised that was able to bear the pain in her pectorals.

Eltanin's eyes were wide open. "Really?" He looked from Tania to Kinshra. "That is awesome baby!"

"Isn't it?" she clapped her hands and the sheet slipped from her, leaving her exposed.

Eltanin saw her beautiful body that was now covered in a soft halo. A growl rumbled from his chest. He couldn't take his eyes off her. Willing his wolf to go down and stop wagging its tail every time he saw his mate in this position, he closed the gap between them, picked up the sheet and covered her back again. Tania's cheeks heated and a lovely rose color blossomed on them. He picked her up and took her inside the bedroom. "You need to dress up baby," he rumbled in the local dialect of Draka.

Kinshra and her maid laughed as she watched the two going inside.

"They are so much in love," said the maid.

"Yes Flora," said Kinshra, admiring her son-in-law. "I am so happy for Tania. She couldn't have found a better mate..." There was a sense of longing in her voice. She went to sit by the table where the food was spread.

Flora came to Kinshra and sat down on her knees beside her. "M'lady, can I say something?"

Kinshra gave her a benevolent smile as she picked up roasted chicken on her plate and sesame bread. "Sure Flora."

"Why don't you go back to Pegasii only for a few days with Lusitania? She is such a sweet child that I feel bad for her... She had stayed without motherly love for so long..."

Kinshra took a deep breath. She didn't say anything and plucked a piece of meat from the chicken leg. Feeling very embarrassed Flora got up and started serving her lady with more mood. The door opened and Kinshra saw Jiada coming in. Her eyes were twinkling. She was followed by Lord Krail who was looking gruff. And if that wasn't all, Biham followed him inside.

Kinshra watched all them coming inside and stopped eating. "What is going on?" she asked, looking at Biham and her father. Their injuries had healed a lot, but still there were bruises on the cheeks and foreheads.

Jiada said, "We have come to eat food with you. That's all!"

Lord Krail sat at the head of the table, while Biham went to sit next to Kinshra with a grunt. The two men would still glare at each other when their gazes met. Flora was shaken. She had rarely seen Lord Krail in the tower. She rushed to the guard and ordered him to tell the servants to arrange more plates and food for the family.

Eltanin walked out along with Tania.

"Whoa!" Tania exclaimed. "She quickly rushed to meet her father and squeezed him from behind. "This is a lovely surprise!" she said and sat beside him. Now she was in between her father and grandfather.

Eltanin sat in between Jiada and Kinshra. There was a mysterious smile playing on his lips. Moments later, more food appeared in front of them with more plates. Eltanin was still getting used to this kind of magic. He stilled for a moment and then with a deep sigh, started to eat. He wondered if this is how it would be when he gets back home. His servants would have a tough time dealing with his fae wife. But he was going to enjoy every bit of it. 'Wife'. The word sounded lovely and he suddenly couldn't wait to announce her to the public.

Lord Krail placed his elbows on the table and steepled his fingers. He rested his chin on his fingers and said, "We have come to an important decision."

Both Kinshra and Tania looked at Lord Krail with surprise. They stopped eating food while everyone else was still eating. Jiada stifled a giggle.

Lord Krail's gaze drifted to Biham to Tania and then his daughter. He said, "I have decided that all of us are going to go to the kingdom of Pegasii for a week."

"What?" Kinshra's spoon fell on the floor, as shock blasted in her.

"You heard me, Kinshra," Lord Krail said stoically. "We will be going to Pegasii. But--" he stared at Kinshra. "--how long will it take for you to finish Yunabi with Lusitania?"

Kinshra hadn't recovered from her shock. Her father was a man who hated the name of Pegasii. He loathed Biham and his dislike for werewolves was legendary. He brought Kinshra from Pegasii and had forced her to abandon her child and now he was telling her that he will also go to Pegasii?

"Don't look so startled, Kinshra," said Lord Krail. "I am doing it for Lusitania. She suffered a lot!" His teeth clenched. "And now no more. It is time that those who made her suffer, pay for it!"

"Your payback is also due!" Biham retorted.

"And so is yours!" Krail snapped right back.

Kinshra wanted to be angry with him, ask a thousand questions as to what changed his mind, but she checked herself. And the reason was simple--she too wanted to go back with her daughter. She longed to be with... Biham. Her feelings had awakened in the past two days. So much had happened. But two days weren't enough to come to a conclusion. Her face flushed and she looked down at her lap. She realized that she was crying when tears dropped in her lap. Very softly she replied, "It will take at least one more day. By tomorrow afternoon, she should have absorbed all the Yunabi magic."

Everyone froze in their place. "So fast?" Eltanin finally managed to speak.

Biham wanted to get up and gather his mate in his arms. He gave her a napkin to wipe her tears and poured her a glass of water. She drank water and nodded.

Tania chuckled as a warm feeling suffused her chest seeing her parents.

"Then it is final," said Lord Krail. "We won't waste a single minute. We will leave for Pegasii the day after!"
