Chapter 13

Durin

For two days, I tended to the little shifter. And for two days, I could feel my soul again. But as Farris appears out of nowhere in front of me, reality snatches it away again. I should feel the loss, but I’m actually glad to be rid of the emotions the Omega stirred up in me. They made me weak, and that’s something I can’t afford to be.

Still, a sense of emptiness has settled over me, and I’m not sure how I feel about it.

I examine Farris’s face for concern, but he seems at ease. My absence must have gone unnoticed. I grab him and pull him into a hug, grateful for his help.

“Whoa,” he laughs, surprised, but he hugs me back. “That must have been some good—”

I cut him off before he can finish. It was so much more than that.

“I didn’t expect to be gone for so long,” I say, releasing him.

“It could have been worse,” he says with a shrug. “I’ve heard some heats last much longer. You got lucky.”

Lucky to be with her, yes. Lucky to have a shorter heat, I don’t think so. I don’t bother to ask how he knows it was a heat. I’m sure he figured it out when he dropped the water off.

“How did it go with the list?” I ask, hoping to steer the conversation away from the Omega.

“I remained illusioned as you and searched for the fae,” he explains. “The first, Farron, is dead and probably didn’t have the power anyway. Lynoss and Phen are both, in fact, telekinetic. Lynoss practically demanded to be chosen. Phen was unable to hide his distaste for the queen. It also seemed he was downplaying his abilities when I asked him about his magic.”

“Where is Lynoss?” I ask.

“Wouldn’t Phen be a better choice?” Farris says, raising a brow at me.

“I don’t want to risk corrupting a good fae. It’s better to know where he is so I can reach out for help in the future. If I store the willing one with the other trash, it’ll be easier to keep an eye on him.”

“Smart,” Farris says with a nod.

“Thank you for this, Farris. I owe you, big time.”

He gives me a shove. “Taking down some of the queen’s filth is more than I could ask for. Just stay who you are.”

That won’t be a problem. My mission has a face driving it now. The Omega doesn’t seem to remember much of anything we shared, but I’ll remember for the both of us. Every touch, each release, the peaceful periods where we just held each other, her tiny hands on mine as she put them where she wanted them…

“Shit,” Farris mutters, snapping me out of the memories. “You like her. You like the shifter!”

Instead of scolding me, he laughs. If only I could find it amusing. I thought I was done with the emotional burden. Clearly, I’ll need to push her out of my mind completely.

But I can’t do that until I’m sure she’s safe.
