Eire felt the lukewarm blood soaking through her jeans and her favorite blue Rage Against the Machine t-shirt that her mom had gotten her just the week before.

Her mom.

She forced herself to push away from Loch. He didn’t want to let her go. That was her big brother.

But he needed to.

Eire could feel her Fae ancestry running through her veins, and she was no longer a child. She was changed.

He let her go unwillingly, and Eire walked into the bedroom where her father kept her mother. She covered her mother’s bloodied and still form, and then moved to the bathroom, but everything in there was a reminder of her mother or of Lochlan Trappe, and she just couldn’t—

She just couldn’t be in there right now.

Eire moved into the hallway, walking into one of her brother’s old rooms. They didn’t live there. But when her mom had started to come for the ‘meetings,’ they met her at the house out back, and they stayed there. Pretending. Pretending that her mother’s addiction and their father’s vile tendencies weren’t real. Her brothers couldn’t stop Lochlan, and until today, Eire hadn’t been able to either.

She didn’t feel any exultation or excitement, though.

She was twelve years old and both of her parents were dead.

She had no one.

She had nothing.

She changed into a pair of shorts and a long t-shirt that were in the drawers of her brother’s room. She didn’t know which. Just that it wasn’t her father’s clothes. She had no desire to smell like rose blossoms and talc.

She moved back out to the hallway, slowing her step until she stood in front of the doorway to her parents’ room again.

She looked ahead, further down the hallway, but she didn’t move.

She was as still, and as silent, as a dead wind.

Death.

She sat down on the cold stone of the castle’s floor and ignored her brothers’ presence as she closed her eyes and slid down further until she lay curled on her side.

Almost as soon as she closed them, she dreamt of the goddess. Titania was sad, and her tears fell heavily, reaching the grass as they walked through the field silently, not saying a word.

No lessons.

No warnings.

Just silence and tears.

She awoke to darkness in the cottage out back, her stomach in pain and squeezing in an awful way that reminded her of the stomach flu she’d had one time.

And then she smelled something so delicious, she rushed to that scent. Rushed across her father’s property where his sprawling castle lay, and to the farmlands beyond.

A young man stood on the edge of the property, laying under the stars.

She moved slowly toward him, realizing that it was his scent that had called her. But she couldn’t stop the movement of her feet for all the world. She was so hungry.

She felt her brothers’ fear before they had even reached her, and as Loch grabbed her and Damon stood in front of her, she felt fury sweep through her veins.

“He’s mine,” Eire spat, and her voice was not her own.
