Chapter 10

This was getting ridiculous; how many more days was Feryn going to ignore her? She had exhausted Toby by taking him on so many walks but she had had too much energy to sit and enjoy the extensive library that was available to her. And even though Jiro was keeping his distance from her, he was still hovering, preventing her from spending the necessary time with the security system to deactivate it properly.

If Feryn refused to talk to her, she was going to hunt him down and make him talk to her; she couldn’t stay cooped up in her room for an eternity while he dealt with his anger. Ever since Jiro had told her about how she was affecting the males, she had grown increasingly uneasy being so exposed; she was starting to feel uncomfortable going very far from the protection of Feryn’s room.

She just needed a few minutes to herself, to take a breath and not have to think and plot and scheme and worry. Luckily, there was a perfect spot just a few feet outside of Feryn’s patio doors, an old-fashioned wooden swing that hung from an enormous tree. It was big enough for two so she would be able to relax, stretch out a bit, in the fresh, twilight air. She’d be able to breathe. Punching in the new code to Feryn’s alarm, she locked Toby in the suite while he slept for the night.

Into Feryn’s mind.

She had seen glimpses of so many things that were out there that she never even knew existed, from the different species of vampires to demons and angels to freaking fairies. And Feryn had dealt with them all, carving out a respectable niche for the Aradians he led. He was beyond remarkable and she was a simple, twenty-five year old soldier. How could she help but be in awe of him?

And he was old, ancient, really; though she was beginning to realize time moved differently for his kind. It wasn’t exactly linear, she knew that, but it was too complex for her human mind to comprehend. Perhaps in time she would begin to understand, but that time wasn’t now. He had experienced so much history; she was nothing but a moment in infinite time and he was infinite time.

One moment was all she could ever really hope for; if she lived a normal life span that would be all she had anyway. If she shared her father’s life span…
