Chapter 6

My parents had been missing for a while. I had dropped out of Columbia University and returned home to care for my younger siblings.

I’d never stopped looking for my parents, but even the Fae kings and their spies couldn’t locate them. And now they just popped out right in front of me like a miracle. Had they been in the Silver Circle all this time?

Tears burned my eyes. Hadn’t they known how much my siblings and I needed them and how heartbroken and afraid we’d been while they were gone?

“Why? Why didn’t you come home to us?” I asked, deep hurt shaking me.

“Evie,” Mom called, tears glinting in her warm cinnamon eyes.

Clement Greene was good-looking even in her mid-forties. She had long, elegant brows, a straight nose, and soft lips. Her wavy hazelnut hair curled around her neck. Among my siblings, Emmett and Safiya took after her.

Dad stood beside her, his hand on her trembling shoulder, lending her his strength, and Mom’s back straightened. Ganon Greene was always the cornerstone of the family. He was a fine man, athletic and tanned, as he spent many hours outdoors every day. After two months apart, salt and pepper had crept into his sideburns.

My father looked at me, his eyes the color of the autumn sky, brimming with pride. Before I could run into his arms, he took a knee before me. Mom followed suit.

“Queen Ileana,” Dad said.

“What? Dad!” I called, stopping in my tracks. At the same time, Rydstrom laid his hand on my arm to hold me back. Why was this act necessary? “Mom, Dad,” I said, my eyes burning. “You don’t kneel to me. You’ll never kneel or bow to me. You’re my parents, and you gave me everything a daughter could ever ask for.”

“We aren’t your biological parents, Princess Ileana,” Dad said. “We were entrusted as your guardians since your birth. The Seer foresaw that you were in grave danger and sought out the Silver Circle as your protector in the mortal realm. Director Jett Northton offered my wife and me the honor of caring for the rightful future queen of the Dawn Court and faerie. You’re the prophesied queen who’ll safeguard both the immortal and mortal realms.” Proud tears glinted in my father’s eyes. “You’re going to save worlds, Queen Ileana Evelina.”

“And to protect the human realm, the Silver Circle of light mages will do anything in our power to defend Queen Ileana,” said Director Northton.

“Thanks.” I nodded at Northton in gratitude before turning to my parents again. “But you didn’t need to leave us, Dad, Mom. You could have simply told me the truth instead of letting me find out the hard way.”

“I know you have many questions,” Dad said. “We’ll answer all of them in time. We stayed one step ahead of our enemies by moving around and hiding your identity, but your Turning is coming, and the ancient spells could barely conceal your power. We could no longer help you. We had to leave to push you to seek out your own path, as the Seer warned us a decade ago.
