eyes.  Did you hurt my sister again?
He put his hands up in defense but before he could say anything Em interrupted.
 No! He s not the problem. The book, the book I gave back to the Fae it s been stolen. I
think that the Fae who stole it took it to the demon lord.
Lee s face grew tense.  How do you know?
 I just do. He stole it. Freya said that another served the demon lord. It makes sense
that it would be Bron serving him, it, whatever pronoun is appropriate for a demon.
 We shouldn t jump to conclusions, Lee said.  We don t know that he stole it for
the demon lord.
 Oh for god s sake! I just TOLD you that he did. I know he did. You re not the only
one with gifts, Amelia Charvez! My gift says that Bron stole it for the demon lord. Bron
hates Con and he hates humans, he stole a book that will enable the demon lord to
unravel the Compact. That will divest you of your power and leave the innocents
unprotected. Even if I didn t have the gift of intuition, common sense could put two and
two together.
 You re right. I m sorry. I just don t want it to be true. We ve been waiting for the
other shoe to drop all of this time. So tell me why you think it s true.
Em swallowed her anger, mollified by Lee s statement. Jayce and Con had taken a
step back during the brief, angry exchange and now relaxed and gave a brief nod of
hello to Alex and Aidan, who d come to stand in the hallway behind Lee.  Okay, I get
that. But as you are so fond of saying, I am a scholar and I ve spent years doing research

on dark magic and nearly a year s worth on this very book alone. This book has the
power to create chaotic magic. It can unravel the foundations of magical agreements. I
know the danger this book poses, I know the danger this Fae poses and I know that
Bron MacAillen is in league with the demon lord and is out to use that book to hurt this
family.
 She s right. The queen wanted the book back for that very reason. Your family isn t
the only group in danger from the magic in the book, all compacts and agreements
based on magic are, including ones that the Fae have entered into, Con said, putting a
hand on Em s shoulder, feeling her tension ease at his touch. He hadn t jumped on her
claim that Poul had been Dark Fae earlier when Jayce had. It wasn t that he hadn t
believed in her power, but that he was shocked by the very idea that any of the Queen s
Favored could be a traitor. When she d thanked Jayce for believing her right away, Con
had felt ashamed. He wanted her to know he supported her completely.
Lee sighed.  I do believe you. I just don t want it to be true. Losing Tante Elise was
just so awful, along with nearly losing Alex and Aidan. I don t want to live that again.
Em nodded and the sisters hugged and the four men let out a long sigh of relief.
 Well, what do we do? Lee asked.
 We wait. If what I recall is correct, the demon lord or his servant will have to face
you to break the Compact. He ll need your blood. If we can hold him off then grab the
book, we may be able to vanquish him this time. Em looked to her sister.  You think
you re up to vanquishing a demon lord?
 Hell no! Who the heck is ever up to something like that? Lee said, pushing her
hair out of her face.  We need to get Maman over here, two witch dreamers are better
than one. She and I can dreamwalk to see if we can t locate this Bron and figure out
what he s up to.
Lee went to the phone while Em introduced Alex and Aidan to Jayce. A month and
a half had passed while they were away this time and even though it had only been a
week for Em, she d missed New Orleans and her family quite a bit. Despite their
overbearing nature, they were still her family.
 Maman will be here in a few minutes. Let s get something to eat while we wait,
Lee said.
Aidan winked at Lee, gave a mischievous grin and looked at Em.  It s been a very
long time since I ve tasted Fae blood, would you share yours with me?
 NO! Con bellowed and Em jumped. Lee smiled at Con s possessiveness.
 Aidan, I really don t want you to make my sister come. I know it s just food to you
but still, there are lines a girl doesn t want to cross with her sister, Lee said dryly,
going along with the tease.
 He makes you come just by feeding? Em asked, fascinated.
Lee gave a smile and took Em s arm as she led her from the room.  Yes! And let me
tell you&

A Touch of Fae
The conversation trailed off as Con scowled at Aidan.
 Oh, please, Con. I don t desire Em that way. She s a beautiful woman but she s my
sister! I love Lee and no other woman makes me feel lust. I just wanted her blood, the
climax is just a pleasant side effect. Aidan said with a smirk. He would have liked a sip
of Em s blood but truthfully, he d fed from Alex and Lee earlier and was quite sated,
he d just felt like twitting Con to see his reaction. He was pleased to see the Fae so
possessive of his bride.
Several minutes later their mother arrived with the other Charvez women in tow, [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
