He buried his face in my hair, inhaling deeply. “You should never have allowed them to take you there.”

“What other choice did I have? I couldn’t have said no.”

“Yes, you could have.”

A tide of fresh panic wanted to rise in me when I thought about how narrowly we had escaped. “They said they were going to torture you.” I sniffled and blinked my tears away.

“So?”

I grabbed the front of his vest. “They would have hurt my fairy godmother. I had to make a bargain with your sister so they wouldn’t hurt her. I don’t even know if she’ll keep her word to stay away. Will she leave my mom be?”

“I can’t say for certain. Perhaps.”

“Felix Thatch, would you please tell me, for once, what’s going on? Why do you pretend to be in her employment? Why did you have to go with them in the first place?” I stared at the crack between the slabs of brick where the mortar had crumbled away. Pinpricks of stars dotted the inky sky. I wondered what time it was.

He drew back, eyes searching mine as if apprehensive about my response. “I don’t pretend. Part of me still belongs to her. Or it did. I don’t know if I’ve won my freedom this time or not. Do you understand now why I didn’t want her to know about us? About you? What you experienced tonight was only a fraction of my own upbringing in a Fae court.”

No wonder he was so messed up and pushed people away.

Fatigue weighed down my body. I leaned back against the stone wall, but it wasn’t where I thought it was, and I stumbled back. I tripped on my panties, caught around my shoe. My hands were tied together, and I couldn’t reach out and steady myself.

Thatch grabbed onto my elbow. I tried to pull up my underpants, but they were hooked on the buckle of my shoe.

“Allow me to assist you with that.” He crouched down in front of me, one hand on my lower hip as he tugged my underpants free.

I wobbled but remained upright, clutching his shoulder. I tried to slide one hand free of the binding, but my hands trembled, and the fabric clung to my skin. I bit into the knot to untie it with my teeth.

He guided my foot through the other hole of my panties and leggings and slid them up my legs. “You were very brave, Clarissa. And you’re going to have to be brave a little bit longer. We must tell Khaba and the principal we were abducted. Do you need me to heal you before we go to see them?”

I shifted my weight, stretching and taking note of how I felt. I ached, but I didn’t hurt. “I’m fine.”

He remained crouched before me, his eyebrows kneading together in concern. “I’m afraid I might not have used up all my . . . energies in the spell. You could be burned internally and be in too much shock to realize it.
