Chapter Twelve

The Next Day

I pawed through my overstuffed closet, trying to figure out what in the world to wear to meet a Fae prince, because that’s exactly what Fox Aspen was.

Even though he also worked as a detective of sorts, he was Fae royalty and he was also the intended of Taliyah, even though she didn’t know that yet. Actually, I wondered if that part of her memory had been returned to her? Or maybe she’d never known Fox was intended for her from the get-go?

Hangers scraped across the bar with a metallic screech as I went through my choices again, but no new perfect outfit magically appeared since the last time I’d taken stock of my closet, more’s the pity. I made a face as I pulled something made almost entirely out of straps from the back of my closet and dropped it on the ground to donate later. Angelo must have put it in there, gods only knew why, because I would never wear something that looked like it was strung together with dental floss.

I’d managed to get through to Fox the night before, but he hadn’t been able to meet with me right away. Without giving away too much information, just to be on the safe side, I’d somehow managed to convince him of the pretty severe urgency of the situation, and he’d promised he’d be in town by morning.

I’d spent most of my night tossing and turning and staring up at my ceiling, wondering if this hadn’t just been the pinnacle of my horrible decisions I’ve made for the past few days. I thought I’d been doing the right thing, but that had been true when I’d revealed Taliyah’s secret, too. This was kind of a big one, though. Maybe even bigger than potentially zapping Taliyah’s brain by breaking the spell on her too early.

Fox Aspen was the Prince of the Autumn Court of the Fae, so he was honor and duty bound to put Fae business at the top of his priorities. But he’d also become pretty tight with the leader of the Hunter Guild of America, and had been working closely with them for a long time now.

So, while I desperately wanted to know if there was a hunter anywhere near the Hollow the night Viviana was killed, bringing Fox in might become an actual disaster, especially if enough people recognized him. Supernaturals weren’t exactly fond of hunters.

“Ugh.” I slammed all the clothing hangers to one side and went through all the options again. I’d already messed things up for Taliyah pretty spectacularly, so it was only right that I helped to clean the mess back up. If I had to do some politicking, then so be it. Just because I hated it, didn’t mean I was bad at it.

No one did dueling egos like demons.

I figured I couldn’t go wrong with a little bit of flattery where Fox was concerned, so autumn colors were my best choice. I didn’t have a lot of options there, being pale with silver hair, I didn’t go for a lot of earthy tones.
