"Worldwide?" the queen asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The entire human realm all at once. We even have protections built in so that only fae who have not turned hear the message," he confirmed.
"What about half fae?" Meryn asked.
He nodded. "Full and half-blooded fae will receive this recall notice. Any blood that is more diluted is exempt, so we don't run the risk of them not knowing their heritage and possibly raising concerns with human authorities."
"What would you need from us?" Thane asked.
Molvan turned to him. "Simply the extra power needed to get the message to everyone."
Thane looked to his brothers, who were already nodding. "We'll assist," Thane agreed.
"Thank you, Thane," Brennus said.
"I guess we're sort of family now," Thane groused.
Molvan turned to Thane. "How so?"
He pointed to Meryn. "She is my godsdaughter."
The fae brightened. "Congratulations on your discovery."
Meryn blushed. "I think it's pretty cool."
Molvan turned to Oron. "I hear congratulations are in order for you as well. Will you be opening up House Eirson when you move back home? Since its walls butt up against the palace it would be easy to join the houses that way," he suggested, flipping to a blank page on his legal pad.
"Move back home? I thought we were going to live in Lycaonia," Izzy said, looking up at Oron.
Oron rubbed the torc at his neck. "I've never even thought about opening up those quarters again."
Molvan nodded sympathetically. "I can imagine why, but it would be such a waste of space not to use it, especially with so many returning to the city." He smiled at Izzy. "Especially when Lady Vi'Eirlea begins to add to your family."
"Huh?" she asked.
Oron looked down at her a soft smile on his face. "He's referring to when you get pregnant. As you are human, we don't have to wait a full year for your conception cycle."
"What if I don't want kids right now?"
His face fell. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, I don't want kids right now," she repeated.
Oron's expression tightened. "Why don't you want my child?"
"Danger, Will Robinson, danger," Meryn hissed.
"I never said I didn't want your child," Izzy said, ignoring the little nut.
"Then it shouldn't be an issue," Oron reiterated.
"It is an issue because I'm not ready for kids."
Molvan inched backward. "I'll get with the Ashleighs at a later time," he quickly backed up and practically ran from the room.
"Why not?" Oron demanded, his cheeks flushing.
Izzy stood on shaky legs. "Because I said so!" she yelled. She turned and headed for the door.
