Chapter Two

Samar told them she had been accused of being a witch in her last kingdom because of her two different colored eyes, which she had been born with. And that the others in her kingdom were not only afraid of her for being different than they were, but that she had become afraid for her life when they started to follow her around the city and insinuate that she wouldn’t be around another winter.

“It was at that point that I knew I had to leave,” Samar said. “I ran straight out of the gates and didn’t stop until I had made it here to Grenvich. I had heard about your kingdom before. My mother used to tell me of it here. She always said that it was a thriving kingdom and that the city was tolerant, and the rulers were forgiving. That is why I came here. I seek nothing else aside from refuge.”

“Of course,” Cassandra said with a kind smile toward the woman. “You can stay here in the castle until you are rested. We’ll get you some dry clothes and a bed to sleep in, and when you are recovered and ready, you can find a home in the city.”

“Thank you,” Samar said. “It’s kind of you to take me in.”

Aeron watched the woman carefully from a distance while Cassandra welcomed her into the castle and showed her to a room. He wondered why no one else seemed to be able to tell that the woman was a shifter. He also wondered what else she was lying about. If Samar could lie about being a human, then she could be lying about anything. For a minute, he tried to give her the benefit of the doubt that maybe she was just scared about revealing her true nature to them, much like they kept their shifter identities secret from the humans in the kingdom. But he knew that she must be able to tell that he and his family were shifters, especially after he saw her eyes glowing. She must have seen his eyes react as well. So what was the real reason that she wasn’t being honest with them? And what was wrong with everyone else’s shifter instincts?

Later that night, after Samar had gone to bed in the guestroom that Cassandra had shown her to, Aeron had trouble sleeping. Cassandra frequently spent nights outside of the castle to spend them in the forest with Rubius, as was part of their agreed-upon arrangement. On the nights that Cassandra was gone, Aeron often found it hard to sleep. It wasn’t as if they were at all intimate with each other anymore, even though he wished that they were. But still, her presence calmed him.

Aeron got up to take the familiar walk through the empty and quiet corridors of the hallway while everyone else in the castle was either asleep or running through the forest. When he came to Samar’s closed bedroom door, he paused. He stood outside her door and pressed his ear against the wooden slab.
