Chapter

Eight

Shoveling food into my mouth, I flick through the papers that the prince gave me last night. Each one is of an innocent-looking young fae child. Blonde hair, black-haired, girl, boy, but none of them have anything in common, and they are not related. They aren’t even friends from the same areas, and they likely never met each other, with how heavily protected the fae children are. Some of the children are from rich fae families, but two of them aren’t. There is one thing that links them all: the fact they all recently turned ten years old. I lean back in the seat, drinking the rest of my orange juice in one go, enjoying the sweet taste, and carry on wondering what possibly could be the connection between all of them other than age. That couldn’t be enough to be kidnapped for. If they were even kidnapped. There is no sign of struggle in their homes, no doors broken or windows unlocked. They just walked out of the front door, past their guards, who all have the same memory of a voice singing to them, not male or female, and passing out after hearing it.

Usually I’d ask for help on this, but considering my work colleague turned out to be a siren princess who has gone back to the sea and Merrick’s now my betraying, fae-loving fiancé and an asshole altogether, I can’t ask either of them for help. I close the pile of paperwork, knowing I need time to think about it and maybe ask some fae if there is anything that happens to a fae child when they turn ten. Maybe that’s when they get their powers? Emerson would know, and I can ask him when I see him next. I have to find these fae, because if they disappeared near the Rift, there’s a good chance they went into it and wherever the Rift leads. Maybe to the place with thrones that Emerson and I dreamed about. A good starting point would be asking Ailen to find a book about that world or whatever it is.

Maybe the place I was born. Maybe the place I’ve been searching for. Maybe where my family is. A sinking feeling enters my gut, and I struggle to push it away, to focus on the here and now, and not the past I’ve been chasing for so long. The prince wants me to obsess over the Rift and try to find what it is and I can’t. I know I can’t right now. There might not be any answers for me there, and the prince could be lying to me here. There isn’t a way for me to win this and get the truth without playing into the prince’s blood-soaked hands.

Either way, the prince already knows I’m desperate enough to do anything to learn about my parents and to save Louie and his mom. He holds a secret that makes sure I won’t leave without the answer. I think of the Rift again, like the dozens of times since I saw it, and feel the same urge push to the surface.
