Chapter 16

“So, let me get this straight. During the hunt dinner, you think you can keep the whole existence of the boy under wraps? Then you want to beat Lady Alard to the King, telling him first at the Harvest Festival in order to beg his forgiveness for a mistake you made six years ago in the human world. Did I get everything?” Alaina said, slumping into the overstuffed library chair.

Aelnoth loved how the size of the chair swallowed his petite little sister making her look 12 years old again, rather than the brave, strong, spy she was for Ashlu. He had just finished relaying everything that had happened over the last two weeks to both her and Matthew. They were the only two aside from Susie he trusted. He would need their help.

“Well, sister, you did forget one part,” Aelnoth said. “The part where I want you to illegally cross the border back to the human world into Toronto, get the boy and bring him here so we can do a proper DNA test proving he is Ashlu so there can be no claim against him.”

She shook her head in disbelief, her brown curls framing her large eyes making her look just a bit like how he imagined their mother looked like in her prime. Those eyes now filled with laughter at her brother’s absurd idea. She shot a look over to Matthew trying to get him on her side in believing Aelnoth crazy.

“Don’t look at me kid,” he said. “I am a human slave, I can’t cross the border at all.”

“Alaina, he is your nephew. You are young, it will be easier for him if you are the one to bring him here, rather than anyone else,” Aelnoth said.

“And have you told Susie any of this plan yet?” she asked.

He hated that she could dial into his brain so easily. She knew he needed to bring the boy here, have the DNA test so he could prove to the King and all of the court that Jason belonged to him. After the King forgave him his youthful transgression—if the King forgave him—Jason would be installed as his rightful heir. He would also beg the king to allow him to mate fully with Susie. Jason would grow up shifter with both of his parents, knowing his power and his worth. He would be happy and healthy. Surely Susie would see this is the best course of action.

“She knows enough of it, if not all of the particulars,” he said.

“When do I leave?” she asked.

Aelnoth knew his sister would be on his side. She knew the travesties committed against humans and like him, saw that there could be a better way. She had no animosity for any living being, unless that being crossed her family. Then, she could be deadly.

“First morning light, the boy is with his grandmother. Susie has written a letter to give the woman, you shouldn’t have a problem,” Aelnoth said. “Bring him straight here. It shouldn’t take you more than half the day, there and back.
