Chapter 20

At Aistiane’s words, fury slammed into Eamon as he paced through the living room. “I need nothing and no one!”

Aistiane merely stared at him calmly, which only enraged him more. “You need a liaison here.”

“No. No, no.” He didn’t want Caralyn involved with the graykindred in any way. Bad enough he had to be, but she had no stake in the endeavor. Said human stood off to the side, looking conflicted. Andrian, damn him, was smirking and swaying back and forth in amusement.

Aistiane’s mouth firmed into a thin line. “It’s not up to you. Human culture has changed drastically, and you’ll need a guide to navigate any pitfalls.”

He glared at her and tried to ignore the other two people in the room. “I’ll figure it out.”

“It’s not just for your benefit. Andrian can also make use of her.”

He stilled his pacing. “Make use of her?” he asked softly, a warning in his voice.

“She can help him with any problematic encounters he has with humans.”

“I don’t want her anywhere near him.” If she had to “help” him, fine. She might even be useful, but he’d much rather prefer that any relationship — if he had any with her — was based on something not related to the graykindred. But with that yellow aura surrounding her, could she ever be free from the graykindred’s machinations? Fury sparked steely resolve in his chest. Yes, if he had anything to say about it, she’d never belong to anyone but him.

A smile crept over the lightly wrinkled face. “That’s going to be impossible since he’s staying here with both of you for the meanwhile.”

“What?” The word exploded from him.

“Until I get bank accounts set up and a place of residence secured, this is the best place for him.”

“Why not one of the holdouts?” A sneer curled his lips. “I’m sure they could be convinced to take him in with the proper incentive.” Money eased the most vigorous of protests.

“Maybe, but I don’t want to involve them more than need be right now.”

He stopped in front of her and crossed his arms. “But you don’t mind involving a human?”

“You’ve already involved her.”

He couldn’t argue that. “On my own terms, yes.”

“Terms change.” Without letting him insert a word, she motioned to Andrian. “Why don’t you grab your bags from the hallway? Time to settle into your new, temporary home.”

Eamon felt his blood pressure rise, sure he was about to experience his first ever heart attack or maybe even stroke, if he were really fortunate.
