Angus was surprised at the way Kate had handled the woman—he still couldn’t even bring himself to call her by name. Angus nodded in thanks to Kate as the two women left the main hall. He hated the way he had gotten under the fae skin with his harsh words, how she had held back her tears not, wanting to seem weak in front of him or his family. She was really starting to get to him; it touched him deeply to hear that she had no one here to count on. She was isolated and alone, and he had a large family he felt close to, not to mention friends.

“Och. Thank the lord Kate was here,” Hunter said to Angus, snapping him out of his daydream.

Angus looked to Hunter, then to his other two brothers. “I am sorry for the way that I acted. I don’t know what got into me.” All three smiled back at him mischievously. “What?” Angus asked. “What do you all find so damn funny?”

“It’s none of our business. We shouldn’t go poking our nose where it’s not needed,” Occam said as he kissed Hannah on the forehead.

“Och, aye Angus, leave us out of it,” Kevan added. Then he bent and whispered something in Marissa’s ear.

“Will someone tell me what has all your knickers in a twist?” Angus said, damn near ready to rip his hair out.

“It is the way you respond to Lilith, as if she belonged to you,” came Kate’s sweet voice. Angus turned to find her in the doorway. “Which she most certainly does not right?” Kate stepped into the room, closing the door softly behind her.

That was absurd. Wasn’t it? Nay, it was the nature of a fae to be alluring. Fae were like the?.... walking sex. That’s what it is, Angus thought to himself. Although he wouldn’t mind her belonging to him—but that would never happen; she was not human. “Nay lass, it is the way of a fae to make a human want her—it is said to be their glamor.” Angus heard his brothers grunting in agreement. “We mere humans fall for it every time, and in the end it traps us. Nay lass, I don’t claim that fae . . . I wouldn’t even consider bedding such a thing—she is not human, nor will she ever be.”

Angus was so focused on denying Kate’s suggestion that he didn’t think about where the fae might be. He noticed Kate gazing over his shoulder, her eyebrows lifting. Angus knew what it was before he even turned around. Kate fixed her gaze back to him and glared, shooting daggers his way. He ignored her death stare, turning to see that the fae was standing in the doorway.

Angus could see by the pure anger in her eyes that she had overheard him. He cursed himself for not being more careful. But what was done could never be undone. Angus watched as she let go of the door handle to walk past him and take up a seat at the far side of the room.
