SIX

I felt as if I’d just awakened from an incredibly long and frustrating nightmare and finally landed in the realm of clarity. It was almost as if I’d been living in a hallway of closed doors, wondering at what could possibly be behind each one, and now every door was open, inviting me to explore.

It was just like Rand said it would be—I’d retained my most recent memories but now I had a whole shelf of memories layered above them, some complete contradictions, which I assumed were due to Sinjin’s manipulation of time. Even though there were still unanswered questions, and I had to force myself to remember the truth in several events, I felt complete again. And that feeling of wholeness created a sense of serenity and contentedness within me.

“Jolie,” Rand said, and I returned my attention to his beautiful face, his caring eyes and loving expression. I was faintly aware that he and I were now completely alone. I wasn’t sure when it happened, but everyone in the room was gone, allowing us to rekindle our love in privacy.

“Did Mathilda’s charm work?” he asked, his tone hopeful.

I simply nodded, smiling up at him. Her charm had worked, and then some. But while looking at him, I completely lost control of myself and felt a sob strangling my throat as my eyes unleashed a deluge of tears. Instantly, Rand’s arms were around me and I buried my face in his shoulder, inhaling his clean, masculine scent. I held on to him as hard as I could, never wanting to let him go—never again wanting to think of him as my enemy...

My enemy.

I pulled away and looked up, into his beautiful chocolate eyes. “I’m so sorry,” I started. “I’m so sorry for not trusting you, for not believing everything you said. I...” I shook my head, feeling so completely disgusted with myself for the way I’d treated this man. He was the one who cared for me so completely that he’d traveled through time in order to find me again. “I feel horrible about everything that’s happened between us.”

He shook his head, a smile claiming his sumptuous lips. “None of that matters now, Jolie,” he said and held me closer. “You didn’t know me from anyone and everything you did or said was completely understandable. And I’m sure Sinjin didn’t help matters.”

Ire began to grow inside me at how Sinjin had completely manipulated the situation: how he’d openly lied to me about Rand, declaring that he was dangerous and wanted only to control my powers, and ultimately me. I was suddenly able to see Sinjin for the absolute manipulative asshole he was.

Do you really believe that was all there was to it though, Jolie? my inner voice sounded. Could there have been more to the role Sinjin played in all this?

Of course I believe it! He changed the course of history to ensure his place next to the Queen.

But you’ve always known Sinjin had feelings for you. And there were moments when he seemed to genuinely care for you.
