“Fae?” she asked. “Are you sure?”

“He has red-rimmed eyes.”

“Ah. That’s definitely a Fae. I’ve never heard of a Dark having such coloring.”

Balladyn crossed his arms over his chest. “Neither have we. It’s bothering Taraeth as well, though he’s trying to hide it. I believe the white-haired Fae could be a Reaper.”

“Maybe we should try and find him.”

“No!” Balladyn shouted.

Rhi jumped, because at the same time she felt her watcher come up behind her. “Okay,” she said, drawing out the word, waiting for both men to calm down.

It took Balladyn longer than her watcher.

“Rhi, I gave you this information because I thought it would stop whatever you were thinking of doing. Don’t use it to do something reckless.”

She smiled at that. “Come with me, then.”

Balladyn’s arms dropped to his sides as he blew out a breath. “I wish I could.”

“You can. Leave all this behind.”

“I can’t. I’m going to rule the Dark.”

Rhi smiled tightly. It hurt that he chose the Dark over her.

“I can do much for the Dark,” Balladyn explained.

Rhi touched his face. “They’re Dark. They’re evil. What is there to do?”

“I’m Dark.”

“You don’t have to be.”

He gave her a confused look. “This is who I am, Rhi. I thought you understood that.”

She certainly did now. “Yeah.”

“Stay,” he urged her when she turned around.

Rhi turned and blew him a kiss. “I’ll see you soon, lover.”

She veiled herself and exited his room, hurrying to the Fae doorway that would take her out of the compound. Rhi didn’t breathe easily until she’d stepped through. As soon as she saw she was in Cork, she teleported out—to Edinburgh.
