Chapter 13

My room in the tower didn’t look anything like it had when I left it. Aruer had performed a spell before I came up here, and it was immediately obvious to me that he’d done something to my room.

Well, several somethings. To start, the heavy tapestries were no longer hanging on the walls. Just as Goreon had said, there was a huge fireplace set in one of the walls. At first, I was disappointed to find that it wasn’t putting off any heat, but I thought hard, flicked my wrist, and the flames roared higher, releasing wonderful warmth into my room.

Goreon raised his eyebrows at that but didn’t say anything. “Do you need anything, Emily? Or shall I leave you?”

“Thanks, Goreon, I’m good. I’ll see you later, okay?” I couldn’t wait to see what other things I could do or that I would find. The tapestries had also hidden mirrors and alcoves. I took my time walking around the room, peeking in each of them. Amazing art filled the alcoves, tiny sculptures and paintings, all depicting different autumn scenes.

But there was one big thing in the room that I totally missed at first. As soon as my eyes fell on it, I gasped. Aruer had given me a tree.

It wasn’t just any tree. Its highest branches brushed the ceiling and it spread out over my bed, creating a canopy of different fall colors. The leaves were all orange, red, yellow, and brown, all turning and changing colors like a fall tree in fast forward.

The leaves were practically dripping from the loaded branches, almost shimmering with magic as they twisted and turned in the breeze from the open windows. It was gorgeous, but then it did something that made me realize just how special this tree really was.

As I watched, bright leaves fell softly to the floor around the bed. They were replaced on the tree with more leaves, the cycle continuing as leaves changed colors and fell. It was living art, and it was mine. The spent leaves carpeted the ground and the bed for a moment before disappearing. My exhaustion forgotten, I went and stood under the tree, enjoying how the leaves fluttered around me.

They crunched under my feet, which was one of my favorite things about fall.

“Do you like it?” Aruer’s voice shocked me and I spun around to face him. He was peeking in the door, his gorgeous face lit up and expectant as he waited on my answer. “I thought that you would enjoy it. Trees with their autumn leaves are the only things in my realm that are half as beautiful as you are.”

“I love it,” I told him, and I meant it. “I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s just…it’s perfect.”

He inclined his head slightly. “It’s my gift to you, Emily. You belong here as a ruler of this realm and I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure that you finally understand that. You are my fated mate, and
