Chapter Twelve

One minute Jordyn was in her apartment, and the next she was in a castle—Edinburgh Castle if she heard Cael correctly.

She sniffed through her tears and turned around the room looking for a window so she could see out, but there was no window. Jordyn wrapped her arms around herself as the coldness of reality sank into her bones.

There would come a time for her to mourn her family properly, but now wasn’t the time. Now she had to concentrate on the task at hand and remain alive with the only people - or Fae- that could help her.

With great amount of effort, she forced her attention away from the ancient stones of the castle to the room. It was a good-sized room with an arched ceiling.

Rugs that looked as ancient as the room itself lined the floor in haphazard fashion that she found appealing. At odds with the chamber itself were the two leather Chesterfield sofas and three chairs, all of which looked worn and completely comfortable.

She noticed that the light came from dozens upon dozens of candles of all sizes. Some were lined up along the walls. Others were atop shelves and on the mantle of the massive fireplace. But it was the ones that hung seemingly midair that made her do a double take.

That’s when she had to remind herself that she was with Fae.

“Um … Cael?” said a male voice behind her.

Jordyn whirled around and found four men behind her. As soon as she saw the one with black and silver hair and red eyes, she took a step back. Right into Baylon’s arms.

“It’s all right,” he reassured her in a warm, soft tone. “That’s Kyran. He’s Dark, but he’s a friend.”

“Uh, huh. Sure,” she mumbled. Then her gaze took in the man with long white hair staring at her. His eyes were silver, but rimmed in red. It was beyond eerie.

Cael motioned to her. “This is Jordyn. As I’m sure you’ve deduced, she has Fae blood. The Dark are after her, which is why she’s here. She’s going to act as bait to help us determine who we’re up against.”

“Death isn’t going to be happy about this,” said a main with shoulder-length black hair and light silver eyes.

Cael’s nostrils flared. He then turned his head to her. “These are the men that are going to help protect you. There’s Kyran, who Baylon already pointed out. Next to him is Talin who doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut.”

Jordyn pressed her lips together to keep from laughing when Talin looked at Cael as if had lost his mind. Behind her, Baylon chuckled.

“Going down the line we have Fintan. If you haven’t guessed by his red-rimmed eyes, he’s Dark as well.”

Fintan turned his unusual eyes on her. “We all have our pasts.”

Cael ignored him and pointed to the last man who stood slightly apart. “The silent one is Eoghan. Don’t get upset if he doesn’t talk, because he doesn’t talk to any of us.”

Eoghan watched her curiously.
