After a long soak in the round bathtub, I sat by the window, letting the balmy evening breeze that carried faint traces of something sweet and floral tickle my face. Shadows of lush trees swayed with the wind, their branches sweeping over the ground. High in the sky, two moons washed the world in soft light. One to the east, the other to the west—mirror images of each other.

This place was magical. From the blades of grass covering the ground to the ageless stars decorating the midnight sky, the vibrancy of it rippled through my blood as if it was calling out to my powers saying, Please come play with us.

The door to the bedroom creaked open. Devyn had returned with extra pillows and blankets, which he set on the bed. “You should be asleep,” he said.

I wanted to ask him if he’d be staying with me in the bed—his bed. “Is this awkward?” I inquired instead.

“Having you in my room? Should it be?”

I moved away from the window and slipped onto the mattress, biting the inside of my cheek. “I’ve always wondered what your room would look like. The apartment in Seaside Heights wasn’t really yours, just a place you used.” My eyes swept over the grand space of ivory, gold, and gray, taking in the little details of his life from the wall art that depicted scenes that looked like fae history to the carved figures scattered on the dresser.

“And is it what you imagined?” he asked, genuine curiosity lacing his voice.

Tugging my knees up to my chest, I smiled. “Not really. I thought there would be more swords and daggers.”

A low laugh rumbled through his chest. “Don’t go through the dresser. You might slice a finger on a hidden blade.”

“Your sister is adorable.”

A snort escaped him as he climbed onto the other side of the bed, making sure to keep enough space between us so our arms didn’t touch. I tried to hide my disappointment, because more than anything, I wanted him to hold me. “Adorable isn’t a word I would use to describe the little heathen.” The statement was said with affection. It was clear how much he cared for her.

“Is she like you?”

He turned to face me. “Holly isn’t a Shaman, not like me or my mom. Her father (Kai’s father) is an Unseelie. His blood gave her the gift to see auras and manipulate them when she wants to.”

I knew a little about Unseelie fae from Devyn’s car lessons. They were fae with darker magic, but that didn’t necessarily make them evil. “She can change the way a person feels?”

He nodded. “She is a skilled fighter as well, so don’t let that face fool you. Holly isn’t like most girls her age.”

I raised a brow. “Do you mean here or on Earth?”

“Both.”

“I guess we have something in common.”

His lips twitched. “You do.”

“What about Belle?”

“The pixie can take care of herself.”

He was probably right, but it didn’t stop me from worrying. I didn’t want her
