Chapter 18

Lachlan bent over the fountain and peered into the water. What was going on here? He never meant to travel into the tidal pool, and now he found himself in Ivy’s world. What was he doing here? He knew he had to find something here, but what was it? Nothing made sense.

Ever since his conversation with Kincaid, water held a strange power over him. He didn’t understand it. He only felt its irresistible draw. It pulled him to it and pushed him away at the same time. He didn’t know how to act around it.

He never meant to put his hand into that pool. The water made him do it. Those words sounded so idiotic in his mind, but no other explanation worked. He had to do it, and now that he came here, he had to find out why.

Why did the pool bring him here, of all places? In the depths of his being, he already knew the answer. It brought him here because he was thinking about Ivy when he put his hand in the pool. He was thinking how he wanted to understand her. He couldn’t do that if he never saw her world with his own eyes.

Now that he saw it, now that he met Nora, he understood. He didn’t know how he understood. He would probably never be able to articulate exactly what he learned by coming here, but he knew it now. He could look Ivy in the eye and honesty say he understood, even when he didn’t.

A thousand questions floated through space. They flicked into his mind and out again. The answers to all of them were just more questions. Even Nora had a place in all this, though he had no idea what it was. Meeting her on the jetty fit into the overarching pattern somehow.

He propped his knee on the fountain. This water didn’t hold the same power for him as the sea, but it still called to him, too. Why did he have to come to this tame fountain to discover what he came here to find?

The instant he formulated a question, the answer dropped out of the sky into his mind. He had to use this fountain because it was tame. The ocean was too strong. It was too close to Aegir. Lachlan had to use some other water with less power in it to practice his….

He couldn’t think that. He still couldn’t believe Kincaid’s message. Lachlan couldn’t have Aegir’s power—not even a scrap of it. He didn’t want it. He wanted to go back to being a wolf of Duart. He didn’t want to be any water fairy.

He put out his hand, but he hesitated to touch the surface. What if the same thing happened? What if he got whisked back to Mull before he found what he was looking for?

The answer came to him. He wouldn’t. He was paying attention. He claimed his power. The fountain wouldn’t do anything to him he didn’t want it to do.
