“Everything okay?” Dimitris entered the room nearly silent. My only notice was Helix fading from view quickly.

I nodded not wanting to say anything, needing a moment to make sure my thoughts were well under control.

“I know you’re upset.” He was talking low, “Trust me, lunch was not something you’d have liked to attend.”

Shrugging, I got back to my feet and put the Beltane journal back on the shelf hoping he didn’t have questions. “I would have liked to make the choice myself, but it’s fine. I’ve been reading.”

“Learn anything new?”

“I learned you like to appease your mother more than the average king.” my side eye back hopefully also conveyed the message I was not going to be quelled.

“I do what I need to.” He sighed and took a seat, “You’re coming to dinner at least.”

“Am I?” I scoffed, “Did the great Wulda approve?”

“She can hate the fact you’re a ward of the crown all she wants. The fact remains you’re-”

“A ward.” I growled, “That’s what I am. I’m not your mate, I’m not

    “Read this one.” A diary fell from the shelf and landed on the floor causing my heart to sink a little. “Be easy with them!” I called and rushed over to the book. “Beltane?” It wasn’t close to the beginning maybe a couple of diaries in, so it was well after the barrier had been established. “Why this one?”No response. Why would I think differently? He was actually very chatty today comparatively. Wolves howl at night. That’s all that seems to make noise anymore. I’ve been watching the barrier for nearly ten years and this will be my seventh journal. It seems to be the only thing keeping me sane anymore. So long near this thing we know isn’t healthy but who else will do it? I need to know my family is protected and I need to know if there’s a breach. I need to know my enemies and their plans. That is my only objective. I will keep them safe. The diary skipped forward with only a single line dated months later: I know I heard the thoughts of my partner today. He wants to end it all

    “The changeling will not be allowed at lunch.” Wulda glared down at me just briefly before turning back to Dimitris. “My first meal home is not going to be in the company of abominations.”Aurelia who had been waiting for her chance saw it, “Such a fine request queen mother. Thank you for finally bringing reason back into this castle.” Dimitris shot her a glare then turned to his mother, “Any other requests?”Wulda nodded, “I want to see the new wolf blood girl that was invited. Why was she not at my welcoming?”The crowd started to turn to each other looking for something to say. When no one responded Hectyr bowed, “She’s been getting to know the castle-”“Why is he talking to me?” Wulda looked above him making a point for everyone to notice that she really would not be addressing him further.“It’s a matter of space,” Dimitris grumbled, “The breakfast hall is only suited for our immediate family. The regular dining hall-”Wulda didn’t wait for Dimitris to finish, “He will sit out t

    It took a few days but I was able to eventually not get immediately knocked down by Conrad. He stopped punching me at least even after my insistence that he not go easy. He’d just laugh and knock me on my ass. Helix was more than happy to continue with showing me how to access the bond in the afternoons so it pretty much filled up my day. Each night Dimitris would protest further saying once or twice he didn’t even notice me in his head which I guess wasn’t his favorite thing. Personally, I considered it an accomplishment. I’d continue with displaying my new skills and he’d tend to my bruised shins and arms until eventually it divulged into antics in the bedroom that left us both exhausted. Dinners were my least favorite activity but at least I got to sit next to Conrad instead of Hectyr who was now mysteriously seated furthest away from Dimitris. Typically that spot had been reserved for Nok. I was all too happy he filled it. We hadn’t resumed our training with the windtouched abi

    “Ready?” Hectyr smirked. “I guess.” My shrug back was trying to be hateful but I knew I wasn’t able to be intimidating to any of these fae. “First lesson!” He called, “Assume everything you know is wrong.” I rolled my eyes, “Shocker.” He gave me another smirk before I saw one foot move. In an instant he was gone completely. I looked around trying to figure out where he could have gone. “Fun trick.” I hissed continuing to spin in a circle. “It’s not a trick.” His voice sounded right against my ear and I took the spear still in my hand slashing around. The only thing I managed to hit though was air. “Oh, I think you almost hit me.” his tone was sarcastic and I did not appreciate it. “Is this going to just be you proving I don’t know how to use my windtouched abilities? I think I’m well aware of it.” His scent. I heard Dimitris’s voice in my head. Try finding him by scent. Okay working together, maybe we could tag team this and actually do something. Closing my eyes I fo

    Dressing in my typical pants and crop top I used for training I made sure my hair was tied up as securely as possible. Battle training with Conrad was intense on the easiest of days. At least this time Garmesh wouldn’t be here to interrupt though had a feeling Hectyr was going to make an appearance because why not. I was able to convince Dimitris to allow Yvet to take me to the training area at least, which would be in Hectyr’s favor if he did decide to show. For a moment I felt a twitch of pain in my stomach but it faded kind of quickly so I didn’t give it a second thought. Most likely it was just Dimtiris and I giving each other a little extra slack with out bond. Which if he was going to allow his brother to beat me up that was better for him. A few servants gave me some scowls but Yvet was able to shut them down. She cursed at them saying I was still the ward and deserved respect. I appreciated her so much. Helix was most likely somewhere around me too but I couldn’t even smell
