Magic caressed my skin like soft plumes—so much better than using the portal spells—and I felt no impediment as I stepped into the other side.

Faerie crystals came to life as soon as Aidan was fully across. The portal closed behind us, turning opaque like the back of a mirror instead of the usual ambient light shimmering. Some sort of safety measure? | wanted to touch it, to see if it was as solid as it looked, but thought better of it and inspected our surroundings instead.

We were in a rustic room—log walls, wooden furniture. A stone fireplace stood on one side, scarcely used by the looks of it, and a big bed commandeered the opposite wall. The kind that had four posters but no canopy. Another door led out of the room, and a couple of windows let absolutely no light in.

I approached them. The outside of the cabin was a collection of dark

shadows against darkness. I could make out a canopy of trees, but no

stars dotted the sky. If I weren’t born and raised in the city, the starless night view would’ve probably freaked me out. It was Faerie, all right.

“Where are we?” | asked, still trying—and failing—to discern more shapes in our surroundings. “Other than the middle of a Faerie forest,” I added ruefully.

“My family owns the place.”

I heard the noise of his duffel bag landing on the rug. My gaze lingered on the outside for a few more seconds before I turned to face him.

“Your family owns a chunk of Faerie,” I pointed out

Aidan appeared a lot more relaxed now that we had made it in one piece, his golden eyes warm in the cozy room. Wherever “here” was must be well hidden. “My branch of the family.”

“Like the room in Lord Velei’s mansion?”

“Yes.”

“You’re not scared Lord Velei will come?”

“There are powerful wards hiding and protecting this place. It’s been kept outside the main family’s knowledge, so there is no reason for him to suspect its existence. Not to suspect its exact location,” he clarified. “I’m sure he realizes there are hidden spots in his lands.”

I glanced back at the windows. “What about creatures?”

“The wards repel them.”

“And the Council’s tracking spell?”

He touched the thin chain around his neck and took the ring from under his Henley. “This nullifies it”

It was a plain silver ring, no gemstones or decoration but for a squiggly line running the outside. “You sure it doesn’t turn you invisible?”

His laugh warmed my insides. “Up to a point, it does. But not to worry, it wasn’t made to be worn.” He let the ring drop against his chest and reached for the straps of my backpack. “Let’s get comfortable. You

hungry?”

My stomach grumbled in response. “Yeah.”

“There should be some food around.” He dropped the backpack by the hearth and opened one of the doors. Beyond loomed a pantry. I assumed the other led to either a bathroom or the exit. Or an exit into an outhouse bathroom. I shivered. The idea of having to traipse in the darkness outside to use the facilities wasn’t a welcome one.
