Roisin pov After our fight, Torin suggested that we all head back to our forest homes. I rode the gray gelding behind the others since they could see better in the pitch black. I kept seeing a small black creature in my peripheral vision. I'd turn my head and it would disappear. I frowned, getting annoyed by the distraction. Kicking the sides of the horse to pick up speed I was shocked by the brush of cold fingers along my arm. I looked down and saw my arm hairs standing. I frown again and realize I'm further away from the others than I thought. I was about to yell when a hand covered my mouth. I tried turning myself and was pressed against the body of someone sitting behind me. "Calm yourself, it's Keran, I'm not going to harm you," his silky voice whispered in my ear, causing me to shiver. He removed his hand and I turned to look at him. He's smiling looking down at me. "Um hello, what are you doing," I scowl. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around my waist. He sets his chin on
Roisin pov I wake up the next day and see Torin still sleeping next to me. I smile and head to the bathroom to shower. I frown to myself thinking about what I had done with Keran. Should I tell Torin, I think chewing on my lip as the water flows down my body. I finished and dressed in black leather pants and a dark gray shirt. I head back into the room to brush out my hair. Torin was awake and eyeing me strangely. I look at him with my brow raised. "Your eyes look different, there is a yellow ring around them and there's also a black streak in your red hair," he mumbles angrily. I turned to the mirror and looked close. He was correct, I had a bright yellow ring around my green irises, it looked rather pretty and I grinned at my new eyes. My hair had an inch strand of black hair down the length. Torin comes and stands next to me. "You shared wine with a fairy prince, now you have the sight, not sure about the black hair, " he mumbles with a hint of disappointment. My eyes widen and I
Roisin pov I opened my eyes and looked around at the fog weaving through the thick trees. I wiped the drool from my mouth, embarrassed by the bad habit. I look at the wet spot on Keran's black shirt and cringe. He looks down at me and smiles. "It will dry dear," he smiles, his eyes shining down at me. I smile back, he wasn't an uppity ass like the elf. "Are we almost there," I mumble my butt sore. "Very close," Kern grins. I adjust my butt, switching off my sore cheek. "Would you like to stretch your legs," Keran asks and I nod. He spoke to the horse and it stopped. I shake my head in amazement. He jumps down and helps me to my feet. I stretched and realized I needed to go to the bathroom. "I need to go into the woods for a moment," I mumble, turning red. Keran opened his hand and gave me a few tissues. I grin happily and run into the woods to take care of business. When I returned Keran was sitting leaning against a tree, his eyes closed and a smile on his face. His long black ha
Roisin pov We went to bed after the chaos of the evening. I snuggled against Keran when the ring of a telephone broke into our slumber. I felt Keran as he rolled over to answer and his voice spoke harshly. I opened one tired eye and looked at the anger creasing his brow. "Fuck," he yelled slamming the phone down. "What is it now?" I yawn. "Torin's been released to the custody of his fucking brother the elf king," he growls rubbing his face. "Well fucking shit," I mumble sitting up. Keran looks at me and sighs. "We need to leave here and find a safe place, the elves will try and start a war with the unseelie," he mumbles disheartened. "Can we go to the human world?" I ask. "No, our child won't exist anymore if we did that," he sighs. "The court," I suggest. Keran shakes his head. "They will destroy everything unseelie and the Seelie would gladly help," he concluded sadly. I frown seeing the pain in his eyes. "I should have killed him," I frown bitterly. Keran chuckles and nods.
Roisin pov Keran and I spent a lovely night together telling each other our hopes and dreams for our future together. He shocks me still over his desire to see me happy as if he could ever disappoint me. I wake in the morning with a tray of breakfast fruit sitting on the side table and Keran grinning happily at me. "Good morning my soon-to-be wife," he grins, his dark eyes sparkling at me."Same to you, my sexy soon-to-be husband," I grin back. He moves the tray of food next to me on the bed and picks up a strawberry and bites into it slowly, the juice dribbles down his chin. I use my thumb to wipe it off and put it in my mouth to taste it. He gives me a sly grin and his eyes heated. "No time to play dear, we have a chaplain to meet with," I smirk at him, taking a berry and eating it whole. He nods and sets the tray back on the table and pulls me up into his lap. "My mother called already and is sending paperwork for you to sign," he says while placing kisses along my naked shoulde
Roisin pov We had traveled very far and were currently heading through a dark abyss of gnarled trees and rocky terrain. I could see glowing eyes watching us through the pitch darkness and shuddered. The horse wasn't fairing much better, Keran continually had to speak reassuring words to the spooked animal. He was undisturbed, knowing he was going to rule over them all one day. We were deep in unseelie land and the deeper we got the stranger the creatures became. We passed groups of large trolls that bowed and greeted us kindly. Dark fairies with leathery wings flew past and greeted us as well. I was amazed by all the new things I was seeing. Frogs with large tusks and multiple limbs strolled past on their back legs. We turned down a narrow cobblestone road and headed toward a large mound in the center of a blackened field. A moat of tar-like substance surrounded the stone mass. I spied a large black door and frowned."Does Axis live there?" I ask, and Keran nods. We felt a wave of ene
Roisin pov Keran lifted me into his arms. He held me close and spoke his words softly to me."Where to now king?" Axis grins. Keran shrugged his shoulders, he was exhausted as well. "My home, we all need rest for what's to come, '' he sighs, his eyes returning to normal. Axis nods and embraces us and we appear back in our foyer."You realize she is capable of doing this as well," Axis smirks. Keran chuckles and tells him to go sleep in any room he finds. He carries me to our room and lays me in bed, crawling next to me and passing out soon after.The morning sun shone brightly on my face, I was having peaceful dreams and didn't want to wake up to the reality of what happened. I frowned and crinkled my nose, as something kept tickling it. I brushed the annoyance away and felt lips pressed against mine. I opened my sleepy eyes to see Keran grinning at me."Good morning my queen," he smiles."There's nothing good about it," I mumble and roll over to feel his fingers tracing my queen's m
Roisin pov I awoke in Keran's room and was shocked by the darkness of it, the bright colors of his home weren't evident in this place. I frown and remember the unseelie were of the dark, maybe I could make a few changes."Good morning my lovely queen," Keran grins, stretching his tall nude frame."We should meet our future son-in-law today," he smirks, rubbing my abdomen. I roll my eyes at him."You're terrible, what if this Flint is a total douche, I don't want our daughter to marry a prick," I frown. "It has to be a love match sweetheart or the contract becomes void," he chuckles and pecks my lips, making me feel better."Okay, let's go meet the kid," I grin. He led me to a shower in his bathroom and we both washed ourselves. After he dressed he left me standing in a towel. He stated he was going to find me appropriate clothes for my status. I told him no fancy dresses and he chuckled as he left. I braided my hair while I waited, going to sit on the corner of his large bed. I notic
