Excerpt:
I nodded and flinched away from her gaze.
So, I was mostly impervious to Fey magic, but it sure made my skin crawl like a
gazillion tiny worms had decided to dig in and call it home. I fiddled with the
frayed ends of the woven quilt draping his thighs. I could still feel her eyes
upon me, but the crawling feeling faded as I breathed in slowly.
“You don’t have to use up any of your
little faery tricks on me, they don’t work so well.”
“Hmf!” Sary stalked away, not bothering to
apologize as she continued her tirade, right out the front door, letting the
violent slam that followed shake the entire apartment.
Apparently, Shade hadn’t told Sary about
Ferdinand’s illegal siphoning of magics. This would devastate her. I hoped
she’d understand when she found out her brother’s true nature. I pondered
telling her myself, but it’d already backfired in my face to question anything
she was determined to do.
I rubbed my chin, leaning back as I shoved
the tray aside on the large, creaky bed. I’d have to let her find out for
herself. This was none of my business, right? That didn’t mean I couldn’t go
along with them for protection. I may be human, but as even my mother told me
once…I was an equal, if not more powerful than a Faery. Shade had the best of
both worlds, but I was a power to match any Fey’s. Some weird balance of nature
I guess. Still, I could be of use on this mission, not just for Sary to find
her brother, but to find more of the missing Unseelie and Sluagh escapees I was
sent to track and dispose of. Besides, whatever was calling me to Chicago, this
dire compulsion, needed to be squelched.
