Cole watched the odd mass of birds swirling into the compound from the window of the bar.

Everyone got up from their seats to see what was going on.

The mansion sat in the middle of an acre, directly in the center of the Unseelie compound’s twenty five acres. Trees and shrubs surrounded the massive property to provide utter privacy. And all the birds seemed to be flocking straight there—straight to Mya’s new home.

Cole took a deep breath and steeled himself to assess the situation.

One street surrounded the mansion in a square inside the compound. The avenue was lined with condos, shops, restaurants, a market and a bar, directly across from the property, so he wasn’t too far away from her.

His cell phone buzzed in his jeans and he pulled it out of his pocket. Liam’s name flashed on the screen. He was training Mya in her magick. As soon as Cole hit send, he heard the screaming—Mya’s screams. Cole took off in a sprint, out the door, across the street, through the trees and bushes, following the sounds of Mya’s agonizing cries across the lawn.

There she stood, in a black dress, her head thrown back, screaming toward the sky. Next to her, Liam tried to sooth and calm her.

Birds swooped down all around in a panic and Cole dodged them the closer he got to her. Dark energy emanated from her, full of pain—an agonizing pit he knew all too well when one learned of painful truths and betrayal.

Finally, Cole reached her and wrapped his arms around her, stopping himself from tackling her to the ground. “Shhh, sweetheart, I’ve got you.” He didn’t think she could shriek any louder, but she did and his eardrums nearly burst. He wound his fist in her red hair and brought her face to his chest. “Come on Mya, I need you to stop screaming.”

In an instant, she stopped and collapsed against him. He scooped her up in his arms. She broke down sobbing and fisting the collar of his shirt for dear life, like she’d clung to him in the cabin. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end, responding to the frenzied powers stirring from her.

Fuck. What happened? He jogged across the lawn with her against him and into the house. He took the stairs two by two then raced down the hall to her bedroom. The Elders planned which room would be hers and luckily, he knew the layout of the mansion, to get her to a place of comfort quicker.

Once inside her room, he kicked the door closed behind her and made his way to the bed. As soon as he sat down with her on his lap, he cupped her face with his hand. “Look at me, Mya.”

She didn’t loosen the grip on his shirt, but she did gaze up at him—and his fucking heart seized.

Her eyes were vacant, no longer did they sparkle a vibrant green, they were dull and flat. Tears stained her cheeks.

“Come back to me, sweetheart.
