I was relieved to see that Aedus' wounds were beginning to heal, but his skin had turned an unnatural gray tone and his heart was beating in an erratic rhythm. His mother sat silently by his bedside, his hand resting gently in hers, her face resigned and not hopeful. She lifted her deep purple eyes and I saw—anger. To her, I was the cause of his impending death. I was a shifter—someone not worthy of his sacrifice. She was probably right, but it was too late to feel guilt. I sat across from her and took his right hand in mine. She almost told me to get out, I could see her lips start to move in anger, but she must have seen the determination in my eyes. His father had asked me to help Aedus, and I would do all that I could.

Liam was the only fae with exceptional healing abilities among their faerie sidhe, and right now, Liam wasn’t conscious. His body was healing and would take whatever amount of time necessary to finish the job. When I’d checked on him, I'd found his mind at peace and his healing energy strong.

Healers were not valued here in Faerie as they were elsewhere because the fae were rarely injured to the point of needing medical attention. They could usually heal themselves instantly, or if the physical injuries were serious, over a period of a few days at the most. Because the fae were able to put up powerful shields to protect their minds, injuries of the mental variety were so rare that few had ever seen their effects.

Even though Aedus’ serious wounds seemed to be healing slowly on their own, the battle going on in his mind was draining his strength, and so soon, his body would shut down completely. I knew firsthand the strength of Kennet’s ‘gift’. I’d seen it in Ethan’s mind and felt it in my own. I understood how convincing he could be and how impossible it was to pull yourself out of the black hell that he created. He’d root around searching for your deepest fears and then make them all real, so real that you tasted the blood that dripped into your mouth and smelled the blackened flesh of your mate as he burned in the sun.

I would use every bit of my strength to pull Aedus back from the edge and then I would get my revenge on Kennet. I had special plans for him.

My brain was beeping out a warning which I continued to ignore. My body and emotions were being fueled solely by my rage. It wouldn't last, but I intended to use it for all it was worth for as long as I possibly could. When I crashed, it wouldn't be pretty.

I focused back on Aedus, pulling in the magic and sending out my healing energy into the turmoil of his mind, afraid of what I'd find there. Even though Kennet was on the run
