Chapter 42

“What the fuck?” Evert asks.

All three of them turn their pissed-off eyes on me. “Hey, don’t look at me. I just got out of the bath and found him here,” I say, holding my hands up.

Ronak returns his glare to the fae. “You intruded into our den while our mate was bathing?”

Belren picks his feet up from the table and stands. “Calm yourself, alpha feline. You act as if I were peeking through the keyhole while she washed. A tempting visual, but I have my honor. Besides, I prefer to spy through windows.”

I have to jump between them to stop my genfins from pummeling him. “You idiot,” I hiss over my shoulder at him. “Don’t say stuff like that!”

Belren just laughs. “Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Besides, you aren’t their mate yet.”

All three genfins growl.

I roll my eyes. “Oh, gods. Please stop antagonizing them.”

“Fine,” he says disappointedly, turning to walk around the room.

“Why are you really here?” I ask him, careful to keep the genfins at my back.

“The prince launched his search on the city. His soldiers arrested thirteen fae suspected of housing you.”

My stomach drops. “What?”

Belren nods as he picks up a book from the shelf, flips through the pages, and puts it back. “Yes. One of them was the owner of the inn you stayed at, though he knows next to nothing. The innkeeper didn’t have much to offer.”

I share a look with the guys. “Was he tortured?”

Belren looks over at me. “Do you really want the answer to that question?”

I start to open my mouth to say that yes, I do, but Ronak steps in front of me. “Enough. Don’t come in here and upset her.”

“She has a right to know. The prince won’t stop looking for her. He thinks one of his guards helped to sneak her out of that cell, and that the same guard released her lamassu. Ten guards have already been executed.”

The breath leaves my chest and I clutch my throat. “Oh my gods...”

Ten fae. Dead. Because of me. Maybe thirteen more innocent fae will follow.

“Stop it,” Sylred snaps at him.

Belren studies my face, his expression softening. “I apologize. I thought you should know. It’s important not to get complacent. You cannot trust anyone. Not even other genfins. The prince is suspicious of why you stayed on the kingdom island and didn’t immediately return home after the culling. You would be wise to keep her hidden," he tells the guys.

“Don’t try to tell us how to protect our mate,” Ronak growls. “We will guard her with our lives.”

“Down boy,” Belren says. “I came to warn you to stay vigilant. Trust no one.”

“Not even you?” I ask. His silver eyes flick back to me.

“I’m a liar and a thief. Especially not me.”

A knock on the door interrupts us, and Sylred steps away to answer it. Ronak and Evert move to stand in front of me, blocking me from view. When Sylred comes back in the room, there’s an elderly genfin male following behind him. He has a long gray beard and a white spotted tail with furry wings to match.
