“Two mates, Sunny,” he whispered in a voice only low enough that it was just for me. I was stunned to hear a shimmer of awe on his tongue, like he couldn’t believe his luck that this was all happening—a rapid shift in approach from when he’d first appeared in the hall. “You have no idea how miraculous this is, or how incredible this means you are, and will be. The Spirits Above have seen you worthy of so much love that you have two mates. Incredible.”
