Chapter Sixteen

Corrine was still reeling at how easily Alak was able to change his appearance as they stepped out the door, and she certainly wasn’t expecting to walk out into a bustling village full of forest folk since it hadn’t been there when they first arrived.

“What the hell?” Gabe gasped as they took in the change. Braxas’s eyes were just as wide as Gabe’s were.

“The High Dorum are able to shield the village from outsiders when they wish to,” Ishaya said, chuckling as he led them through the small cottages. “You are our honored guests now and will always be able to find the village when you come to seek us.”

Small children were running through the main square, giggling and playing games. It appeared that dozens of various types of forest folk called this village home. Some were huge like their escorts, while others were small like the dwarves in human myths. There were even some who looked more animal or creature than humanoid, but all looked at them with welcoming smiles. Both Grahame and Ishaya greeted friends as they walked towards a cabin on the other side of the clearing.

“I didn’t realize the forest folk lived in communities like this,” Corrine whispered to their guides. “We always assumed you lived spread out in the woods.”

“Some do. The forest has many hidden secrets. The Light Fae were led to believe what we wanted them to for our safety, of course,” Grahame answered with a solemn look. “Would you have trusted Fae like Alefric or Kheelan with the location of groups of forest folk women and children if you were us?”

That was a question that didn’t even need to be answered as far as Corrine was concerned, and she shuddered at the thought of what either monster might have done with that information.

“I’ll ask one of the ladies to send some supper over to the cabin for you all as well as water for a hot bath,” Ishaya said as he pointed them to the cheerful yellow door that was the entrance to a cozy little stone cottage. “I imagine you must be exhausted after the trials of the last few days.”

Sweet Goddess, that was an understatement, Corrine thought. She felt as though the two days since they’d crossed over the Veil had been two weeks. She couldn’t believe that the burden of that awful spell was finally gone for good.

“That would be wonderful,” she replied and then leaned in and gave the large man a hug, but not before, for the first time ever, she saw Ishaya blush—which then made her mates and Grahame chuckle at him—which then had him muttering at them to “sod off” or something of the like. “How can we ever repay you both for being such loyal friends, Ishaya?” she asked as they embraced

He returned her hug, muttered that no repayment would ever be necessary, and then ushered her back into the arms of Gabe and Braxas towards their home for the night.

The charming yellow door of the cottage did not disappoint the expectation of what lay inside.
