CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

Dmitri loved to see the play of emotions wash over Faith’s face—ranging from shock to disbelief and then changing to wonder.

“Ronnie is a Druid?” she asked in astonishment.

He gave a single nod. “All the women married to the Warriors are. Well, except for one. She’s the only female Warrior.”

“I … There’s … I don’t know what to say,” Faith finally got out. “Ronnie is a Druid. Wow.”

While she took it all in, Dmitri thought back to the day the Kings had approached the Warriors. It had been a long time coming, and the alliance had benefited both the Warriors and the Kings.

“Since Ronnie sent you, I gather they know who you are?” Faith asked.

“Aye,” he replied. “We Kings agreed as a whole that it was time to let them know of our existence.”

“There is so much on this earth that no one knows about.”

“It’s better that they doona. The Warriors and Druids live at MacLeod Castle, which is shrouded by magic so it can no’ be seen by mortals. Druids are everywhere, though the greatest concentration is on the Isle of Skye.”

“And the Fae?”

“They choose Ireland when they’re in this realm. Their civil wars have all but destroyed their realm. They tried it here, as well, but we put an end to the Fae Wars.”

Faith ran a hand through her hair. “Is that all that’s here?”

“For now. You never know what could come through from other realms, though.”

“I think I need a drink. Oh, how you must have laughed at me saying I’m rooted in science. How naïve of me, when there seems to be magic everywhere.”

He took her hand in his. “It isna naïve. It’s what you believed. You didna know to look for the other or that it even existed.”

“Right in front of my face,” she admonished herself, turning her head away.

He put a finger beneath her chin and made her look at him. He saw the anger she directed inward, and he wanted to erase it. “Science is just as important as magic.”

“I wish Ronnie would’ve told me.”

“Druids rarely tell anyone other than other Druids of their magic. There are a few who announce it, but humans are quick to dismiss them.”

She lifted their linked hands between them. “What do you see in me? I’m a mortal, descended from those who ruined your life.”

“But you didna do it.”

“You mean you can look at me and not feel even a kernel of anger?”

He cupped her face with one hand, looking deep into her sherry eyes. “When I look at you or even think about you, it’s only desire and longing I feel.”

“I need you to know that I wanted you before I knew what you were.”

Without another word, he slipped his hand around to the back of her neck, blond locks sliding between his fingers, and brought her against him for a kiss. His body came alive instantly at the feel and taste of her.

“Why can’t I get enough of you?” she asked between kisses.

“Do you want to?”

“Yes.
