THIRTEEN

Tara

There’s heavy warmth all over me when I wake up. I open my eyes and realize Prince Rinan is snuggled all over me. His legs are wrapped around mine, and his arms are holding me firmly against his body. These men sleep like they like me and switch on their dislike when they wake up.

I softly lift his arm from around me, then slide up from between his legs. I’m basically standing up on my pillow by the time I’m completely untangled from him, but the last thing I want to do is wake the grumpy shifter up.

He grunts and turns to face the door to my bedroom once I’m out of his arms. I stand still, making sure he’s still asleep before I tiptoe out of the bed and across the room.

Stopping by the fireplace, I glance back at him. Gods is he a beautiful man. My body feels hot again, and frustration builds inside of me. Why do these men make me feel this way?

Looking away, I realize that I’m parched. I pour a glass of water and take a sip. That disgusting metallic taste almost makes me spit it back out. Geez, I’m tired. My eyes flutter closed as I sip more water, and the strange taste slides over my tongue again. My magic awakens, pricking at the feeling of the water sliding down my throat. I investigate the strange sensation, feeling the water with my magic.

What is that?

Taking another sip, I swish it around in my mouth. There’s a buzz to it, a familiar magical buzz. Magic? Strange. Why would the water taste like magic?

I gasp, and almost choke on the water in my mouth. My eyes pop open, and Wisp, sitting with a knowing expression, is on the rim of my cup. She darts into the cup, hovering above the water, just like she’d done at the river, then back to the rim.

Wait. It can’t be… can it?

I spit the water back into the cup, and Wisp flies off, shaking the water that landed on her off with a frown. But I can’t focus on her, I’m too excited. Too relieve. Absolutely ecstatic!

“It’s the water,” I whisper.

Finally, the pieces are all falling into place. The weird taste. The seemingly random way people have been getting sick, all over the shifter lands. It’s sickening but clever, something only my mother could have come up with.

“It’s the water,” Wisp whispers, flying back to the rim of the cup.

The water. A curse that likely affects the weak at first until it gets stronger. Everything makes sense.

“That’s what all your swooping down towards the water meant!” I say, smacking myself on the forehead. Why didn’t I get that the first time?

Now, I know something. Finally. The first piece of the puzzle. That’s all I really needed to start putting everything together, as long as my magic is able to save us in the end.

But before any of that, I have to tell the princes.

Walking back to the bed, I crawl over to where Prince Rinan lies asleep.
