Chapter 10

Felicity leaned into Niall, who’d wrapped his arm around her shoulders as they made their way over to Fallon. He was standing in the courtyard with Maelíosa and a slightly shorter, darker version of her. She could clearly see the family resemblance in the younger girl, and Felicity guessed it was probably Niall’s other sister, whom he’d spoken of before.

“Sire,” Niall said. “I’d like ye to meet Felicity. I know, er, I reckon you remember her from before, but introducing her then wasn’t quite as it should have been.”

Niall’s faltering and semi-embarrassed speech wasn’t helping, but it was rather cute. She’d never seen him flustered. Then again, she’d never really seen him interact with his family apart from his friendly banter with Maelíosa. She was getting to see a whole new side to him, and she loved it. Still, Felicity felt a flush spread across her cheeks.

“Well, I won’t shame the lass by mentioning how I first met yer mate-to-be, but I’m glad you took me at my word.”

Felicity wondered about that, but she’d ask Niall about it later.

“It’s not like ye gave me much choice,” Niall grumbled. “But in this case, I’m glad it led me to her.”

Maelíosa grinned, clearly enjoying the sight of her sibling fazed by their father.

Niall glared at her.

The young girl stood watching them with perceptive amber eyes that matched Niall’s. She turned toward Felicity. “I’m Darcy, Niall’s sister.”

“It’s very nice to meet you, Darcy.”

“I’m so glad to see my brother finally settle down. I didn’t think he’d ever take a mate,” Darcy said. “Although Fiona has been trying for years.”

“He’s not the only one she’s tried to tie into being her mate,” Maelíosa muttered.

Fallon shot her a stern look, and Maelíosa shrugged her shoulders almost apologetically.

Niall laughed and squeezed Felicity’s shoulder a little tighter. “I didn’t think I’d take a mate either.”

“You have to visit the castle tomorrow,” Darcy said, beaming. “I have a present to celebrate your mating my brother.”

Felicity assumed his little sister was probably much, much older than she looked, but she had an air of innocence and excitement about her that was contagious. She immediately liked Darcy and wanted to get to know her better.

“Thank you so much,” Felicity said, and extended a hand.

Darcy hugged her instead, wrapping her arms around her brother in the process. Felicity wobbled on her feet, suddenly feeling bone-tired and more than a little overwhelmed. Cyn was the closest thing she had to family, so this would definitely be an adjustment, to say the least.

Niall tightened his grip on her. “Are you all right, love?”

“I’m fine... Just feeling a bit tired.”

“She needs her rest, and we should leave you to your duties. Tend to your mate,” Fallon said.

“Aye,” Niall said. “You may not see us for a few days.”

Maelíosa snickered as Kieran joined them. He’d been conversing with Niall’s best mate, Tomas, who she didn’t see anywhere now.

“Hey,” Darcy protested. “You can’t keep her all to yourself, you know. Besides, I have something for her.
