“Oh.” She stopped in her tracks, touching his arm. “Mine too. I’m sorry. It never hurts less.”He nodded. “But they are still king and queen until we are of age, which we will be in a few years in magic terms. Technically, we don’t need to step in yet because the court runs itself when it comes to daily activities. It’s during wars, breaches, and huge political decisions that we have to exercise our command.”“So, there are trusted advisors?”“Bronco runs the castle in general and his sister, Jyss, plans the events. There’s another magic who runs interior domestic stuff and more who run individual things like the outside activities, the island security, the castle security, and trading—not that we do trading often. The Winter Court is known for being able to sustain itself.”“And being formidable pricks,” she said lightly. “Your court is one that no one wants to get entangled with.”He smirked. “Then we are doing a good job of maintaining our security. Anyway, any shift in the routine

Yu, you seem excited.”“Very excited. No parties at home.”His brows rose. “Not even the giants?”Yu wrinkled his nose. “Giants are enemies. No parties. Party poopers.”difference had a lot to do with the giant versus pixie discourse. But then again, their unique brand of aggressiveness might have something to do with that too.“It’s not a party, per se. It’s more of a welcome banquet. So, more about food and mingling.”“No dancing?” Yu asked, visibly disappointed.“Maybe some dancing too.”That was enough to kick up the pixie’s excitement again. After a few minutes of more puttering, it dawned on him that Yu was already practicing dance moves, awkwardly and wobbly to some but adorable to him. He tried not to react, leaving the small fellow to his devices and continuing to put on his clothes. Halfway through dressing up, a knock sounded on the dressing room’s door.“Your Majesty, it’s Jyss. I came here to help you dress up.”Jyss didn’t wait for his response, already sauntering in wit

How do you know Tru and why haven’t you told me about it?“Party. Late,” Yu announced again.Setting aside the nagging curiosity, Mabel sighed.“A late appearance makes for a grand entrance, but not where my sister is concerned—and we don’t want you two in hot water. Come on. Let’s give youAs far as banquets went, this one was grander than the one he was used to in his court, but far less intimate, as everyone was in attendance and the event spiraled from a warm welcome to just his folks hanging out in groups and eating their hearts out. He carefully selected plates of food for Brian and Yu, warning them not to accept food offered vocally by others. Her eyes lit up.“That’s in the books,” she said. “They say that once you eat a magic offered feast, you are magically bound to him and his home and can never find your way out.”“I’m sorry to burst your bubble, sweetheart, but we don’t need to offer you food for that. I’m just being cautious of poison and ingredients that might not sit w

“I didn’t mean my fingers, Brian.”Oh, if only he could take a picture of the moment when those green eyes blazed with heat, darkening them with desire. It was gone in a second as she lifted her chin.“We’re not fucking. I’m not going to be another notch in your bedpost.”He knew, from the way her nipples tightened against him and the way her fingers drifted lower, that all it would take was a few choice words before he got her in his bed and she let him do things to her. But he didn’t want it easy, not when Brian was worth fighting for and her full, uninhibited consent meant more than anything in the world could. That blew his mind even while he nodded…even while he fought damning it all to hell and just dragging her out of here so he could do everything he had been fantasizing about.“All right,” he said, hard as a rock but voice steady. “I will respect that decision. I won’t fuck you unless you say yes.”Her gaze narrowed, trying to catch any sign of mischief. “I’m glad we’re on th

Silence.“Do you have a suspect among them? Someone in line with your sister?”“No. And we haven’t proven that it’s my sister.”But his face said that it wasn’t out of the question, not when his sister was the one who could benefit the most from his disappearance. Her chest ached. Her family had always been her most dependable anchor, the ones who would never betray her despite their differences. That he might not have that with his sister…Don’t get emotional.“Where have you been, anyway?” she asked casually.“I just had a little errand.”“Your sister was looking for you. I don’t think she was pleased that you left before she could talk to you.”“Talking with my sister involves hours of her discussing ways to improve our court, complaining about our court, and nagging me about my…not-so-tame habits.” Light danced in his magenta eyes, then sobered. “Why did you leave the festivities?”“I wanted to explore.”“I see. Here.”She looked down at his extended hand, expecting him to either

“I know. But your kind shuns everyone.”The arousal in his features died a bit as he frowned, mulling over her words. Slowly, he shook his head.“Discrimination is for the weak—those who can’t see past their heads stuck in their asses. I might tend to think that magic folks are among the superior breed, but we’re not the only superior ones. It also doesn’t mean that other creatures don’t have unique qualities that are more than impressive.” He grimaced. “Now, I’m not a huge fan of vampires, but there’s no denying that they could rip my heart out and cut my head off the moment I lower my guard around them.”“Vampires are crazy,” she agreed. “I wouldn’t want to mess with them.”“Hmm.” His gaze flicked to her mouth. “You’re a witch. Your powers have people’s knees trembling, and I bet you could choke me with a snap of those fingers.”“Maybe. With the right chant outside this castle.”“It’s hot as hell,” he murmured, low voice washing over her senses. “What else can you do with that magic

Thank you for your honesty.”“You’re welcome. What were you doing when you weren’t sleeping?”Watching over the halls and the rooms. Making sure Yu didn’t leave. Longing for a witch, who had probably slept so well and didn’t spare a thought in his direction. It was laughable how he only thought of her, and even the idea of stroking himself to images of their interaction in that alcove felt hollow compared to what could have been. Jealousy had been a nasty bastard keeping him aching as he remembered—and envisioned—over and over again how she looked on that ship deck while her pirate fucked her thoroughly. The ache had become unbearable when he recalled his trysts, too, and all he could see was her, with her head thrown back and her voice calling his name.You promised her. Keep your promise.“Just reexploring the court. It doesn’t matter. There’s no event today and I can catch up on my sleep.” But the way Alan reacted had him frowning. “Unless there’s an event today that I forgot about

The words faded, but they were locked in his heart. None of them answered his question directly, and even if there was a hidden message there, he couldn’t for the life of him figure out what it was. Brian sighed.“You guys have always been cryptic. I guess that doesn’t change even when you’re dead and truly cold.”The next bout of silence was the strongest, the energy retreating and no longer interacting with either of them. Yu continued lounging in his spot.“What about you, Yu? What do you think of my sister?”“Pretty. More than you.”Brian scoffed but couldn’t fault the honesty. When the pixie dozed off into slumber, Brian knelt very low until his mouth was whispering on the ground.“Please keep my friend safe here. Please let him sleep in peace and without disturbance.”His father might choose to ignore the request, but he was confident that his mother’s energy would respond to it. Yu continued sleeping as Brian trudged away, his doubts already tucked in. He scanned his mind, then
