Chapter 10

After I hang up, I aim a finger at Jax. “All right, I’m going to ask you a question, and you have to promise you’ll be completely honest.”

“I can’t make that promise without knowing what the question is.” He puts on his sunglasses and concentrates on the road. “But you can ask, and we’ll see where it goes.”

Frowning, I lower my finger. “Is Vivianne fey?”

He turns, appearing taken aback. “Why would you ask that?”

“Because Jayse just told me that the princess of the North Kingdom and the empress of the water fey had a secret rendezvous last night.”

“What?”

“Yeah, he didn’t say where, but I guess the meeting was about seeking revenge on …” Wait. I haven’t told him about the vampire clan yet, and he doesn’t want me to until we get to the Enchanter’s place. “Seeking revenge for the fey who died last night.”

“So the fey know who killed their own?”

“According to Jayse, they do. I’m sure he got the information from the Keepers, so he’s probably right.”

“Not necessarily.” He drums his fingers against the top of the shifter. “I’ve never noticed the fey mark on Vivianne before, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. She could be both fey and Guardian, keeping her fey blood hidden for whatever reason. I know a few people who keep their bloodline hidden pretty well, but it’d be highly unlikely for her to keep royal fey blood a secret.”

“But not impossible,” I say. “And if she’s just a princess, as of now, that means she’s not reigning yet. And I’ve heard of fey royalty keeping their identities a secret to protect themselves.”

“But who would Vivianne be protecting herself from?”

“I don’t know, but honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if she had enemies lining up to take her down. The woman’s a bitch.”

He keeps restlessly thrumming his fingers against the shifter over and over again until the sound starts to drive me mad.

“God, what if she is?” he mumbles after a minute of tapping goes by. “What if she’s been the princess this entire time and has been hiding it from everyone?”

I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. “Then she’s pretty good at hiding stuff, which makes me wonder what else she’s hiding.”

“Yeah, me, too.” He ceases the tapping and brings his hand to the wheel. “I think, when we get to Oliver’s place, I’m going to call Dash and have him check out the forest to make sure Vivianne and the empress weren’t just having a friendly meeting out there.”

“I think that’s a good idea.” I sink back in the seat and stare out the window, reflecting over everything we just discussed.

If it turns out Vivianne is fey and is the princess of the North Kingdom, then it makes me wonder if maybe there’s a bigger reason for her wanting to find the Dagger of Conspectu than just finding it and returning it to the vault.

I make a mental note that, when we get to a safe-to-speak-freely zone, I’ll ask
