The two Domnua watched the lovers from afar, hidden behind a rocky outcrop of boulders. They’d been sent to find Rian and get an update on where he stood with the mission that their Goddess had assigned to him.

“He chooses her.” The Dark Fae shifted, turning away.

“Goddess Domnu must be told.”

“We’ll go at once.”

Together, the two slipped into the darkness.

Another restless night, sleep only coming to him finally when he drank the tea that Terra had made for him, and still Rian woke at the first brush of morning light. Nurturer, he thought, with a small smile. There was something about Terra that eased some of the perpetual tension that had plagued him for years now. He thought of her now, as he stood at his doorway and watched the sun kiss the sky. Would she sleep easily after the pleasure he’d given her last night? Or had he given her the same mixture of confused emotions as he now carried?

She should hate him for stealing the amulet.

Instead, she had healed his wounds, brewed him tea, and allowed him the gift of touching her miraculous body. How could a person be so endlessly patient and forgiving? It almost didn’t seem real to him. Forgiveness was not a notion that Rian had made friends with.

There was no possibility that she was lying to him about her actions after he’d been exiled. The sadness in her eyes when she spoke of the estrangement with her family mirrored his own.

A woman he’d never met had stood for him.

And now he’d stolen her amulet.

It was a very concerning thing, feeling his emotions again, Rian realized as he rubbed at an ache that bloomed in his chest. Life had been much easier when he could ice everything out and drown his grief in anger and egregious amounts of whiskey. He never should have agreed with Goddess Domnu’s plan—not that he’d had all that much say in it. She’d more or less ordered him to set out on this path, but it wasn’t like he’d put up much of a fight. Not when she dangled the promise of discovering the identity of the man responsible for his fate at his fingertips. Rian’s hands clenched around his mug, and he worked to steady his breathing before he accidently let his magick loose and destroyed the very cliffs their cottages were perched upon. He was too keyed up to stay inside, and though
