Robin watched Michaela and Moira head off, Michaela’s steps wobbly and uncertain, Jaden barely visible in their wake. The vampire’s powers were growing fast if he could pull such a trick off. Perhaps that was why fate had seen fit to give him two mates. Jaden would need to feed more than other vampires if he used his powers so often.

Raven was glaring at him, but Robin did not care. He’d staked his claim before the Fear Dearc, and now there was but one more thing more to take care of. “On the roof. Now.”

Robin stepped into a doorway and disappeared, reappearing on the roof of the hotel.

The Raven Lord appeared soon after. He placed his hands on his hips, but he eyed Robin warily.

Good. The boy should fear him. He’d seen the way Raven tensed when he’d taken Michaela’s mouth in front of him, how he’d held back a growl when Michaela, stunned, her lips swollen and her cheeks flushed, had stumbled in Moira’s wake.

“Now what?”

Robin examined his nails. “Now you leave Michaela alone.”

Raven snorted, amused. “No.”

Robin glared at him through his lashes, allowing his eyes to glow so brightly they rivaled the noonday sun. “Yes.” If Raven were the threat to his truebond, he would soon be a threat no more.

Something flashed through Raven’s eyes, something startlingly familiar. He’d seen something similar recently, that flash of green that marked the children of the Hob. Raven’s eyes had looked eerily similar to Jaden’s. Robin tilted his head, studying Raven.

Now that he allowed himself to look at him, Raven had Robin’s look about him. He, too, was slender, as was the Hob. His blue eyes were a close match to his, as well. His black nails tapped impatiently against his black leather belt, but his hair blew around him against the breeze.

The boy had sylph blood in him, then. That would explain his connection to ravens. Robin himself had a way with the creatures of the earth. Earth sprites were by turns drawn to him and terrified of him, something that had served him well. Even Moira, who cared for him, was wary of him.

Raven attacked first, as Robin had known he would. He disappeared in a swirl of dark smoke, only to reappear behind Robin. He took a swipe at Robin with his claws, but Robin was no longer there, disappearing in a similar swirl of dark mist.

The wind changed, and Robin scented it again, that elusive scent tantalizing him, taunting him with might-have-beens and deliberately forgotten dreams.

That earthy, feral aroma could not be Robin’s. There was no way one of the worst of Titannia’s lackeys was his child.

“I will protect her, even from you.” Raven disappeared again, but this time stayed gone. Robin stilled, stretching out with his senses, waiting for Raven to try again. He hated to admit it, but the boy had guts. Hobart had barely fought, choosing instead to beg for his life and that of his lover, Constance.

Robin had destroyed Hobart, leaving nothing behind
