Chapter Eleven

“My dad is a king?” Bennett sat across from Nick and Casey in their dining room. Linc sat beside her, his arm around her shoulders. “That’s, like, the most insane thing anyone has ever said to me.”

“You’re royalty. That part is kind of cool,” Casey said, but she was frowning.

“Right. So what does this mean? Did he know I even existed? Maybe he didn’t want me and that’s why my mom left.”

“He didn’t know you existed,” said Nick. “Your mother ran away before anyone knew she was pregnant. He thought she’d been kidnapped. They searched for her for years—even blamed the wolves, but nothing could be proven.”

“And he lives in Ireland on a island that’s protected by magic? What, are there leprechauns there, too?”

“It’s not like that,” Linc said. “The island is like Nick’s in Greece, except it’s warded to protect it from humans. They live much the same we do, but their magic is tied to the ley lines there, so few of them venture far from their homeland. The magic within them, within you, is tied to the earth, and there is no more powerful place for your family than where they live off the coast of Ireland.”

“This is fucking weird.”

Linc squeezed her shoulder. “There’s more.”

A few months ago, she’d have been happy just to know she had a dad. Now she knew she wasn’t human. Oh, far more. She was fae. But it didn’t stop there. Her father was royalty?

“I don’t know if I can take any more,” she said.

“Your father wants to meet you,” Nick said. “I don’t know if it helps, but he was as shocked as you were. I talked to him on the phone. He never denied it might be true. When I told him your mother’s name, he didn’t recognize it at first. And then he asked what color your eyes were. When I told him they were almost navy blue, there was a long pause. And then he said he had to see you.”

She’d given up on the idea of a father when she was five. As Bennett had grown older, she’d figured, whoever her father was, her mother was afraid of him. She’d assumed he was a bad guy she didn’t want to meet.

But now?

What were you thinking, Mom?

Her mother wouldn’t have put them through the hell they’d lived in on the road if she hadn’t been afraid of something. She may have lied to Bennett about everything, but her mother had also been protective.

“With all this craziness, could he hurt us more? I mean, hell… I don’t even know what I mean. I don’t trust him. My mom kept me away for a reason.”

“I won’t let him harm you,” Linc said with a low growl.

“We don’t even know what he wants,” Bennett said. “But it makes me nervous. What do you think?” She glanced up at Linc.

“I can’t make this decision for you. But I, too, am nervous about bringing anyone else in at this point. It could be a power play.
