I felt hot, not from the midday heat, but from the storm brewing within me. It looked like something heavy rising in my chest, moving upwards to squeeze the air out of my lungs . I bit the insides of my cheek so hard I could chew on some bloody flesh and actually swallow it. When did I ever become this confused? Vulnerable?

Instead, he slipped out a piece of paper neatly folded into a thin square, handing it out to the Duke. That latter reached out and snatched it nervously. While they watched him hear the seal off and read through, the darkest frown they'd ever seen appeared upon his brows. It was a letter from Rebecca, seemingly briefing him of everything that had transpired in his absence. The letter dropped from his grip while he took his gaze to the sky again, slowly shutting his eyes, "We need to return home."

She didn’t deserve such a cruel fate. A sharp thud and bellowed curse, pull me into a room to the far right, the overturned lamp casting the space in a eerie glow. Liam has his back to me, rifling through papers on the cluttered desk. The demon who did this wasn’t just here to take lives or souls, they were looking for something. Closing my eyes, I do my best to find the signature. Searching my senses for a tell of who did this. Partially to pat them on the back, but also to see who my competition might be.

I had the feeling that we had confirmed something for her about the Fae, and that whatever it was, it was not a pleasant confirmation. He bared his teeth in that snarling grin he had shown to me the first day we had met. “Hope you never find out. Repiesco,” he held out his hand and the small, leather bound book that he had exchanged in return for access to the tome and accommodation appeared upon his palm. “A penalty, for your rudeness,” he told her when her eyes widened in protest.
