Chapter 6
I STEP OUT INTO THE crisp winter air, crunching snow beneath my boots. Frost walks beside me, his silver-white hair shimmering in the moonlight. Weâre heading to meet Throk and Candice at Whispering Woods, but my mind races with everything thatâs happened since I arrived in Evershift Haven.
âYouâre awfully quiet,â he says, his for-now pansy-colored irises revealing his concern. âIs everything all right?â
I nod, trying to find the right words. âJust...processing. This whole experience has been surreal.â Weâve gotten so close so quickly that itâs a little overwhelming for me. Most of my relationships have lasted no more than a few weeks, but I donât usually jump into bedâum, bubbleâwith guys on such short acquaintance though.
Frost chuckles, a sound like tinkling icicles. âI can imagine. Itâs not every day that a human discovers a magical town hidden between realities.â He slants me a glance. âOr forms such an immediate connection...â
We walk in companionable silence for a few moments, our breath forming small clouds in the cold air. The streets of Evershift Haven are quiet at this hour, the magical shops closed for the night, and tension pervades the town. Everyone is clearly on edge, waiting to see if we succeed. Only the occasional glowing fairy light illuminates our path.
âEvony,â he says softly, âThereâs something I need to tell you.â
I turn to look at him, curious. âWhat is it?â
He takes a deep breath, looking at me. âIâve dreamed about you for years.â
I blink, not sure I heard him correctly. âYouâve...what?â
Frost runs a hand through his hair, leaving a trail of snowflakes and mussed hair escaping the braid in its wake. âI know it sounds crazy, but itâs true. Iâve had visions of you in my dreams for as long as I can remember, always clearly in my future. When you were born about three decades ago, they increased in frequency and detail. When you appeared in Evershift Haven, I immediately knew who you were.â
My mind reels. âAre you saying...you knew I was coming?â
He nods. âIn a way, yes. I didnât know exactly when or how, but I knew you would arrive someday. Youâre my mate, Evony.â
I stop walking to stare at him, mouth agape. âYour mate? Frost, we barely know each other. How can you possibly believe that?â
He turns to face me, his expression earnest. âIn the fae world, we have something called dream prophecy. Itâs a rare gift that allows us to see glimpses of our future, particularly when it comes to our destined partners. Iâve seen you in my dreams for centuries, Evony. Iâve watched you grow up and seen snippets of your life in the human world. Over the past year, Iâve dreamed about you almost every night, so I knew youâd be coming soon, and now, here you are.â
I shake my head, trying to process this information. âThatâs a lot to take in.â
âI know. I donât expect you to feel the same way immediately. Iâve had years to come to terms with this, but for you, itâs all new.
