RYDER WAS IN the throne room talking to Queen Mab and King Madoc when Brayden and I entered. Everything went silent as we approached the group, side by side. Elvena smiled and took my hands, pulling me down so she could kiss my forehead. “You look lovely, child. We were just discussing what we need to do to keep you safe from the sorcerer,” she explained.

“What have you come up with?” I asked, looking from her to everyone in the room.

When Queen Mab and King Madoc joined the group on the floor, Elvena began, “Basically, what we need to do is perform a protection spell. The only problem is that we can’t protect the whole expanse of the Winter Court. We can, however, protect the palace and extend it to your dwelling if need be.” When Brayden and I both nodded, she continued, “When we do this, you will only be protected inside the walls. I know it’ll feel like you’re trapped, but this is the best I can do.”

“Let’s do it,” Brayden insisted, gazing down at me. “We have to keep him away from you.”

I hated feeling like a trapped animal, but I knew it was for the best. Sighing, I closed my eyes and blew out a frustrated breath. “All right, what do we have to do?” I muttered, giving in.

Elvena smiled sadly and said, “What we need is royal blood and a lot of it. We need enough to be able to scatter it around the palace and form a circle. It only needs to be a drop here and there around the walls. So now you can understand how we don’t have the means to protect the entire grounds.”

I nodded in understanding and so did everyone else. Queen Mab handed Elvena a bowl and immediately sliced her palm, letting her blood flow freely. “This is for you, my dear,” Queen Mab murmured, gazing at me. King Madoc clapped Brayden on the shoulder before slicing his hand and mingling his blood with his queen’s. Calista and Ryder joined in and gave their blood, along with Elvena who contributed some as well.

Brayden took out his guardian dagger and I casually held out my hand for him to slice open my skin. He lifted a brow, but I waved my hand at him. “Just do it,” I scolded him playfully.

Slicing open my skin, Brayden immediately cut open his as well and we stood there staring at each other as our life essence joined in with the others. “I wonder why everything involved with spells requires blood,” I silently said to Brayden.

He smirked. “Our blood is the strongest part of our bodies. It holds the key to everything.”

That actually made sense.

After our blood was taken, Elvena made her way outside and began to chant in the Old Fae language. In my spare time in the Summer Court, I had secretly been trying to learn the language of our elders. We never used it much, but in this case, with the spell it would’ve come in handy.
