Breakfast had been eaten and everyone washed and dressed, and they were now all ready to brave the outside. Thane pushed open the main door, and they all headed out.

The fairy guards stepped forward to stop them going very far.

“I demand to speak to the person in charge,” Thane said.

“That would be me,” a voice said from behind the guards, who parted and allowed three men to step forward. “I am King Erin. This is my brother, Regent Grey, and this is my youngest brother, General Kai.”

“I’m DCI Thane Roberts. You’ve kidnapped all of us, and we demand you let us leave here and go home.”

“I’m sorry,” King Erin said. “At the moment, that isn’t possible.”

“Why not?” Thane asked angrily, crossing his arms over his chest.

“You are all here because you accepted something free from a fairy. This created a magical connection. As such, we used that connection to bring you here.” Erin explained.

“Why?” Thane asked again.

“Because they are sick freaks,” shouted Perry.

“No, because we are dying,” Regent Grey said softly.

“Explain,” Thane commanded.

“The fairy race is dying out. No true mates have been found for nearly five hundred years, and because of that, no children have been born,” Grey told him.

“You can’t have children?” Thane asked.

“Not without a true mate pairing,” Grey answered.

“We decided this was the only way to find our mates,” King Erin said.

“And it worked,” General Kai said, smiling.

Erin and Grey turned to look at him. “What do you mean?” Erin asked.

Kai stepped forward and stood in front of Thane. “I felt my magic flare. You are my true mate.”

Thane stood stock still for a moment, then suddenly pulled his arm back and punched Kai in the face. The fairy dropped unconscious to the ground, and Thane rubbed his hand.

“You hit him!” Grey exclaimed, bending down to tend to his brother.

“Yes, I did,” Thane said. “I don’t take kindly to being kidnapped and told I’m someone’s mate.” He looked at the fallen man, fairy, whatever. So much for being a general. He couldn’t even block a punch.

“But—” Grey started to say, but Thane cut him off.

“I don’t want to hear it. I want to know when we can all go back to our own homes, families, and jobs.”

“Not until you’ve all been brought to the market so the single fairies can come and check to see if their magic flares with anyone,” the king explained.

Before Thane could speak, Molly and Dolly stepped forward. Molly laid her hand on Thane’s arm.

“Dearie ducks,” Dolly said. “What does your mother think about all this, about you kidnapping all of us?”

“I don’t have a mother, just two fathers,” Erin replied.

“Well, what do your fathers think then?” Dolly asked.

“I’ve not told them,” Erin admitted.

Grey spun around and looked at Erin. He’d thought their parents knew of this plan but decided to hold his peace for the moment since he and Erin couldn’t very well have an argument out here in front of the humans.

“I think we need to sit down and have a chat, don’t you, dearie ducks?” Dolly said.
