CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

The moment Cain returned to Earth, all he could think about was getting back to Noreen. He knew inside the barrier on the Fae Realm was probably the safest place for her, but that didn’t stop him from wanting her with him.

Or for him to be with her.

He looked around the Fae doorway, fully expecting someone to be there trying to stop him. It was why he’d had his magic at the ready. But no one was there, which put his already frayed senses on even higher alert.

Cain didn’t wait around to see if someone would show up. Instead, he touched the silver cuff on his wrist and immediately jumped to Dreagan. He arrived in his own chamber since he hadn’t been sure he wouldn’t run into someone if he turned up elsewhere in the manor.

Cain threw open his door and rushed out, calling Con’s name through their mental link.

“I’m in my office,” Con replied.

Cain ran to the stairs and took them up to the third floor. When he reached the top, Con stood outside of his office, waiting for him.

“Tell me you have good news.”

Cain nodded as he strode to Con. “Noreen gave me so much information. Should we call the others together?”

“No’ yet.”

Cain frowned. “What do you mean?”

“I want to hear it first.”

Though that sounded odd to Cain, he didn’t argue. They walked into Con’s office together. For the next hour, Cain told Con everything Noreen had shared with him.

“You’re right, something has changed with Moreann and the Others,” Con said as he slowly sat back in his chair. “My guess is that someone else planned the earlier attacks on us.”

“Right up until the last few years?” Cain asked.

Con’s black eyes met his. “What was really done to us over the last decade besides what was already put into place by the Others?”

Cain thought about that for a minute. “Nothing.”

“Exactly. Everything we’ve dealt with in regards to the Others coalesced in the last handful of years, and all of it was put into motion millennia earlier,” Con stated.

Cain ran a hand down his face. “Why stop there, then? Why no’ keep things going until we were backed into a corner?”

“I can only guess that somewhere along the way, something happened to whoever was helping Moreann.”

“Usaeil?”

Con snorted, the only evidence of what he thought about Cain’s suggestion.

“All right,” Cain said. “If we look at it bit by bit based on what Noreen said, Moreann came to the Others with minute details of how she wanted the plans laid out, down to the second.”

Con raised a blond brow. “No one goes from that kind of planning to grasping at straws, which is what Moreann is doing if she planned to attack our business.” Con’s gaze narrowed on Cain. “And you trust the Dark?”

“Noreen has everything to lose and nothing to gain from helping us.”

“I wouldna say nothing. She’s gotten her freedom from the Others.”

Cain rose and paced a few feet away. “There is one bit I left out. Noreen said that she was a child when the Fae Wars took place.
