âThis is so unfair,â I huffed, observing the scene before me.
The three culprits looked up from their book. Sky lay on her stomach with Hazel and Hilda wedged on either side of her. âWhatâs unfair about it? Do you want story time too?â
âNo!â I sat down beside the treacherous trio and folded my arms. âItâs not fair that theyâre so well behaved when youâre around. Itâs like theyâre doing it just to taunt me.â
Sky chuckled behind her book. âMaybe because you respond to their bad behavior. Iâve seen you turn as red as your hair when Hazel gets on your nerves. She probably thinks itâs funny to torment Aunty Jordan.â
âThatâs just plain evil,â I muttered.
Sky shrugged. âYou do the same thing to me. They had to have learnt it from someone.â
Lying back on the carpet I ran a hand over my eyes. âIâm not cut out to be a foster mom. Alberich is probably rolling in his grave right about now.â
Setting down the book, Sky shuffled along on her stomach to kiss my cheek. âYou make a great foster mom. Sure, theyâre little devils sometimes, but the twins love you.â
Hazel backed up this claim by bonking me on the head with the abandoned book.
âThey have very strange ways of expressing it.â
Sky distracted the terrible twins by flicking on the television. Hazel and Hilda flocked to the screen like moths to a flame, cackling with glee at the cartoon elephant. I watched Skyâs expression as her gaze followed the two toddlers. What I saw there was pure love, something that made my heart ache in a pleasantly painful way.
With the twins momentarily subdued, Sky lay down beside me. âWhat happened to their real mother? Youâve never told me the full story.â
âItâs a complicated one.â I closed my eyes. I had not given thought to the topic for a good long while, and I was not thrilled about rehashing those memories now. Jeremy had already tried to use it to shake me, it had taken many a sleepless night beside Sky to pack them away neatly in the back of my mind.
But Skyâs curiosity was piqued and she propped herself up on one elbow and pried my eye open with two fingers. âCome on, you canât avoid the subject forever. Iâm practically raising these two alongside you. Donât I deserve to know the truth?â
I opened my eyes to scowl at her. âI hate it when you make good, reasonable points.â
âGet used to it.â Sky leaned over to plant a kiss on my nose. âTell me about your brother.â
Sighing deeply, I stared up at the ceiling. âAlberich ruled the Leyore coven before me. Everyone loved him and he was a good king. His death was unexpected, it shook all of usâ¦â
I glanced over at my prying companion. Sky was listening with rapt interest, her thumb massaging circles on my shoulder.
âIt was me who found Alberichâs body. He was dead in his home, with no wounds or signs of a struggle whatsoever. At first I thought he was sleeping.
