CHAPTER 18

It hadn’t been part of their agreement. She hadn’t asked Riven to send Shaw after Meelah. Hadn’t asked him to commandeer her ship and… and what? What were they going to do with her?

Tanith looked through the telescope again, watching in horror as Shaw’s men took charge, clearing a way for their captain. Very few men fought, but there was some struggling. Enough for a handful of men to be thrown overboard, not to her surprise.

Shaw walked across the deck like he owned it, opening the cargo hold and extending his hand. Meelah popped up after a minute, following the once prince without any trouble. When Tanith realized what was happening, she dropped the scope and backed away, shaking her head.

“No. No, no, no. Dammit!”

He was taking her. Bringing her to Wickenvare. He was stopping her from reaching Shadow Hunt altogether, but that meant… It meant Meelah would face the same choice, despite the fact that Tanith already knew what her answer would be. She’d be forced to forget if she wanted to go home. She… Both of them would have to have their memories erased.

No. No.

Tanith peeked again, watching Shaw, Meelah, and his men return to their ship. The last fae to leave faced the crew from Ellesmere. He was a man with skin so dark it almost seemed blue, and he merely snapped his finger before taking his leave.

Tanith watched the human crew collapse. Dead. Passed out. She wasn’t sure, but she knew she had to stop Shaw from bringing Meelah through the barrier because there was no going back.

She glanced towards the stairs, but there was no time. No time to run down them and find Riven. No time. He had to come to her, so after taking a deep breath, Tanith closed her eyes and she screamed at the top of her lungs.

She screamed so loudly her throat was raw, her ears nearly unable to register the high pitch as she let it roll off her tongue, lasting as long as she could before letting the sound die out.

It was mere seconds before she heard shouting, the library doors swinging open and guards filtering through. She watched four of them enter through the net in the middle of the floor, their heads looking around, turning upwards in search of a threat.

Then he arrived.

Riven stepped through the door, gray eyes sharp, and he paused for only a moment, assessing the fact that Tanith was in the observatory before turning towards the stairs.

He was a blur and nothing more for the following seconds. Tanith didn’t even have time to register how such a speed was possible before he was in front of her, hands on her shoulders.

“What is it?” he asked quickly, searching the top floor. “What happened?”

She shook her head, betrayed. “We had a deal.”

She watched confusion cloud him, his mouth parting. “What are you talking about?”

Pointing out the window, she redirected his attention. “Shaw. You can’t let him bring Meelah here. I don’t want her to have to make an impossible choice.
