Chapter 2

Draven

“She’s going to kill you.”

“And if you warn me one more time, I’m going to kill you.” Sitting in the rear of the bar, watching the crowd, I spun the beer bottle around and around. “You’re sure he’s coming?”

“He said he was still unsure of my motives, was figuring out if he could trust me.”

“And if he doesn’t show tonight?”

Shane shrugged, raising his hand to a passing waitress for another beer. “Then we come back tomorrow night. Then the next, until he shows up with an answer. Like I said, you don’t have to tag along until I have a solid lead.”

Not that hanging around the cottage would do me any good. Seneca was as restless as I was to get out and do something, anything, toward a plan to stop Rudarius. But that was just it. We had no plan, no real idea of where to turn. Macron was of no help. He and Minnie had been going out every day searching. What for, they kept to themselves. Not sure I enjoyed having two seers around Seneca, not after what Briar shared with her. She was so close to pushing me away for my own good. I could not let that happen, which was the only reason I came out tonight.

She needed space, so I gave it to her. The orbs in the garden changing to grey and black had me on edge. Was it a sign she was closer to giving into the evil taint rushing through her veins or was it because Rudarius reached out to her? It wasn’t the first time I saw her have a fit like that, but the first one that lasted so long and left her cold and pale. Like he sucked the life from her.

But the veil was sealed. Rudarius would not be getting to us any time soon.

I looked around the bar searching for Marlie. He’d separated from us once we got here, spotting a few fae he wanted to speak with. I wasn’t sure how many knew the kingdoms had fallen. Most of the fae here weren’t exactly visiting. Most had been exiled or came here to get away from the ruling monarchies. I hadn’t had the heart to tell Marlie a fae prince was probably the last person they wanted to see. They had a right to know about Otherworld. He caught my eye from across the room, giving me a wave.

“I’ll be back,” I muttered to Shane. “Our dear prince calls to me.”

Shane smiled and said he’d keep an eye out for the vampire. As the hour was turning late, I sensed we wouldn’t be seeing him tonight. Marlie sat with three other fae at a round table. All were male with long blond hair and light blue eyes. They had to be related.

“Draven, I’d like you to meet Ash, Ember, and Finch.”

My brow arched at their names. “Pleasure to meet you.”

“It’s alright,” Ash, the one who appeared the oldest, assured me. “Our parents weren’t the best with names.
