Chapter 11

It was obvious, from the close hug and the smiles on their faces, there was a strong bond between them. A pit formed in my stomach, something deep and dark. It never occurred to me that Aeden might already have someone special in his life. A wife or lover.

I bit my lips and looked at my hands clasped in my lap. As casually as I could, I pulled them apart and smoothed them over my skirt. I was in the nicest dress I’d ever worn in my life, but it was rags compared to Alana’s gown.

She opened her eyes and stepped back. Finally, she noticed me. She gasped and stepped out of his arms. “Aeden, there’s a … human? On your bed?” She gaped up at him, then back down to me. “She is human, right?”

He rested a hand on her slender shoulder. “Yes, this is Kyna.” He motioned to me with his free hand. “She’s actually the main reason why I wanted you to come here.” He smiled at me, eyes bright with pride. “Kyna, this is my younger sister, Alana.”

I was left speechless again. Sister? He had a Frost Fae for a sister? Then again, I guess his mother was a Frost Fae and his father was a Sun Fae. “Ah, hello, your highness.” Should I curtsy? There wasn’t enough room for me to stand up without bumping into them.

But you are different.” Her head tilted to the side. “I was shocked when I heard that my brother brought a human to the Summer Palace. I can kinda see why.” She stood up, folded her arms, and gave her brother a sly smile. “So, why exactly were you alone with her in your room?”

My eyes widened and my mouth dropped open. “This is his room?” I glanced around, cheeks flaming. I was sleeping in his bed? The blanket I clutched around my shoulders was his?

Aeden’s lips pressed together and he looked to the side, his cheeks pinked. “This manor is rather small. It didn’t feel right to put her in one of the outer rooms.”

Alana smirked. “Well, I’m sure you know exactly what it looks like, finding a pretty girl on the bed, with you standing over her. Very princely.”

“You make it sound so —” Aeden made an annoyed sound and scrubbed a hand over his neck. Scowling and red as a beet, he turned and paced away.

I couldn’t seem to form any thoughts. All I could do was stare at the ground, cheeks hot as the sun. It’s true, it was scandalous to be in a room alone with him. Yet it felt so natural. But there was something reassuring about how he reacted when Alana teased him. It meant that he wasn’t used to women in his
