Kaelem had been impressed with Scarlett on many occasions, but he had never seen her so committed to her new nature. As she was slicing through the fae who’d captured him, her expression emanated pure focus.

He’d worried even with the help of the Sidhe man they’d be outnumbered, but he’d been wrong. So, so wrong. And he loved it. Something about Scarlett fighting with such ease was the sexiest thing he’d ever seen. He couldn’t explain it.

But he was thankful she’d been thoughtful enough to leave Nico to him.

At first, he’d felt uncertain. He’d known Nico his entire life. He’d been more of a brother to Kaelem than his own brother had been. Though as Kaelem aged, maturity had set in, and the same couldn’t be said for Nico. Still, the memories they shared could never be erased.

But betrayal drowned any sympathy Kaelem might have felt. Knowing Nico had set up not only him but Scarlett too had sent fury pulsing through him, and watching his old friend beg for his life had sent joy to his heart. The bastard had set them up. His oldest friend had betrayed him. And he’d gotten to watch him plead for his life before shattering his mind.

What was the saying the mortals used?

Karma is a bitch.

The fight had caused quite the ruckus in Sandy’s. But thankfully, they were there early enough there hadn’t been many other guests. Between Kaelem and Maeron, who happened to have exceptionally strong mind gifts, it only took about twenty minutes to erase the memory from everyone’s heads.

They decided it was safest to speak somewhere else, so they’d taken a cab to a hotel a few miles away. After getting a room—on the house, of course—they stood in the empty lobby. Kaelem had the hotel clerk lock the entrance door and sent her on a bathroom run so they’d have a few minutes of privacy.

“Thank you,” Scarlett told Maeron. “If you hadn’t warned me or helped us fight them, we’d be on our way to the Fates and Ankou right now.”

“Of course, my queen.” Maeron bowed. “It’s likely the Fates know you’ve heard of a weapon that can kill their father. Very few of us Sidhe knew of its existence, but I’m sure they will also seek it out.”

Hoping they were the only ones aware of the weapon had made things a lot easier. Now, everything would be more dangerous.

Kaelem said, “We need to hurry then.”

Scarlett breathed out then asked Maeron, “You said go to the Otherworld. I only know of one entrance from the mortal realm and that leads to the middle of the jungle. We can backtrack through the Unseelie Court and to the palace, but from my understanding, that’s the middle of the island which is about as far from the sea as you can get. Do you know how to get us closer?”

Maeron swayed side-to-side on his feet and glanced around the room. “You should be able to make a portal. I can help you.”

Maeron’s hesitation didn’t go unnoticed.
