La Fee Verte didn’t offer the escape I wanted—nor the answers.

Dex waits back at the house and Cillian fills him in on our conversation with Ewan and Xander. He doesn’t comment, face inscrutable. Dex can’t avoid them forever. I warned Cillian not to say anything about Bastian, and he either ignored me or gave silent agreement. I didn’t push the issue—I want to forget.

Will Bastian look for me again? What happens if he does tell the Four Horsemen? The Horsemen have their own issues with the fae. They had a shaky relationship with Portia, but we don’t know how closely Logan’s faction ally themselves with Ripley and the demon Order.

Fun times.

I tip the contents of my rucksack onto the small bed in my temporary accommodation and curse when there’s no bottle inside. I’m all out of whisky and I need a drink. Several.

With a huff, I head downstairs with my jacket. The guys talk together in the room I first met Donovan. Probably about me.

"I’m headed out," I say with a wave, as I pass the doorway.

Wow, how fast can three guys jump to their feet? "Where?" asks Cillian.

"Is there a pub near here? Off licence? Well, anywhere that sells alcohol." I pull cash from my pocket and count. "I need to stock up."

Dex crosses his arms. "No."

"Serious? You expect me to believe there’s nowhere to buy alcohol in walking distance?"

"I mean, no, you’re not going. It’s getting dark outside."

Sucking on my teeth, I walk into the room, slowly, and poke him in the chest. "Don’t try telling me what to do, alpha Spot."

Morgan clears his throat to disguise a laugh as Dex’s eyes darken beneath his fringe. "I heard about what happened at La Fee Verte. You’re in danger from two places now. And I told you: I watch out for you."

Bloody hell, Cillian. I throw him a look. "Sorry, Syv. The guys need to know what happened with Bastian in case there are repercussions," he says.

"Are you okay?" puts in Morgan.

"Me? It's your icy friend you need to worry about. Bastian was pissed off."

Dex continues to stare at me. "We need to keep quiet about this or Donovan will be pissed off."

"Do you hide much from him, Dex? He doesn't know you're a shifter, does he?"

"He knows I'm a Dweller, that's all." He takes my arm and walks to the door. "Yes, there are places to intoxicate yourself nearby. I’ll take you."

Nice deflection, Spot.
