Chapter 6

She wasn’t alone. She knew that immediately as she struggled free of the grasp of sleep. Her eyes flew open as she surveyed the room. She wasn’t in the bedroom but on the loveseat in the library. Apparently, the Nightwalker carried her as far as he had been willing to, the library. He had covered her nakedness with a throw blanket, she was grateful for that much, but it didn’t stop the goosebumps from the slight chill in the air, despite the fire burning in the fireplace.

She saw a figure standing in the shadows and knew without a doubt that it meant her no harm. She felt no malice from the creature. The only thing she could sense was a mixture of satisfaction and curiosity.

She sat up, pulling the blanket to cover herself, more for warmth than modesty, and glared into the shadows. “Planning on coming into the light any time soon or do you plan to do the creepy stalker thing all night long?”

The figure stepped into the light and all she could do was stare in shock. The figure that appeared was a man that physically resembled her so much, she could only speculate that he was related to her in some way. He was taller than she was by a couple inches, and his lithe frame was covered in a pair of snug leather pants and a leather vest. His intricately braided silver hair contained royal blue and black highlights, and it fell to the small of his back. His violet eyes contained yellow specks that floated around his iris, unlike her eyes, which had silver specks. There were subtle differences between them, but there was no mistaking that they shared blood.

“Who the hell are you?”

“Me?” he asked as he wandered around the room with a jovial bounce in his step and pausing to look at shiny things scattered on bookshelves. “I’m your older brother, Quinton.”

Learning that you were a changeling was one thing but being confronted with the actual evidence of it was another. She schooled her features to be blank and got down to the business of finding out why he was there.

“What are doing here?” She watched him slip a tiny silver egg into his pocket that he had swiped off of a bookshelf. “Put that back. This is not my place, and I don’t know what kind of spell Sam has on her property.”

He pouted at her but did as she asked. “I’m here because I’m curious as hell. We all felt the binding on you break. I just happen to be quicker than our little sister, so I came to see what you are like. You are, after all, the successor to Father.”

She tilted her head as she looked at him with curiosity. “Why am I his successor? Shouldn’t that be you since you are older?”

“Nope! I’m a bastard. In all honesty, I wouldn’t want the crown even if I could have it. Too much like work for my taste.”

She couldn’t help but smile at him.
