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

“Who is the magic user and who is my enemy?”The answer didn’t come as widen Emma lips closed down and his eyes teared up. Brian tried again until it dawned that he could sense a different kind of energy in the room, restricted and subtle. Queen Emma couldn’t mention names, even when the interrogation glow was pressuring him.“Are the magic user and my enemy the same people?” Brian tried again.There was no response. Queen Emma expression crumbled in pain and Brian felt his chest tighten.“Are the magic user and my enemy involved in the other deaths in our court?”“Yes.”“Were they murdered?”“Yes.”“Are you involved in those deaths?”“No.”Queen Emma agony was so raw that Brian couldn’t take it anymore. Reluctantly, he turned off the device but didn’t remove the binds. Widen Emma entire body slumped, exhausted, and sweating profusely.“Admitting knowledge to the murder of our Fae folks is a crime, especially because you didn’t tell anyone. Being an accomplice to a royal member’s murd

On cue, magenta eyes flicked toward her, unreadable. Perhaps there was some sort of relief there, but it was gone in an instant.“You requested my presence?” she asked.Lavender eyes flew toward her too. “That was me. My brother thinks I tried to kill him. I figured a torture machine shouldn’t be the only thing questioning me.”Uncertainty simmered within her and Brian’s silence was dreadful. But the small, subtle nod from him had her feet moving closer toward them until she was standing beside Alicia.“I will ask her the same questions. Over and over,” he said. “Do what you must.”There were no further instructions, and instinct rioted at releasing her magic when the court hadn’t been the most welcoming of it. But she nodded, too, and knelt, easing energy into her fingers. They glowed, dimmer than the device’s glow. She bit her tongue when the larger energy in the room sensed hers and crowded around her, a crawling sensation that pushed her back.Mabel directed more into her feet unt

“He is.”“You don’t look fine,” she repeated.He said nothing.“You haven’t slept…was that you? I felt someone puttering about outside at dawn.” She didn’t mention that she had heard Alicia outside, too, just hours before that, not wanting to add salt to the wound. “You haven’t slept at all. You were busy guarding me and Yu.”“Maybe I was just waiting for you to invite me in.”The words had heat simmering in her belly, a gentle nudge that threatened to flourish. She noted the teasing in his tone, one that didn’t align with what had transpired earlier.“You always joke around when you feel vulnerable. But you can’t fool me, Brian.”The teasing faded and he frowned down at her. A hand went up, fingering her hair and parting it so he could see her face more clearly.“Can you read me now,Mabel? Do you know what I’m thinking about?”Her cheeks flushed. Like a switch flicked again, the heat spread until she was throbbing from it, intensified when he leaned in to sniff her hair. When he back

“Lavender and magenta are the court’s official colors, other than the icy blue we often show to the public,” the woman explained. “This is a shade in between and would show respect to our future ruler, whichever of the two takes the crown in the end.”“It’s too short.”A cool sensation touched her knees. Mabel watched as the hem lengthened, fluttering around her skin and draping to the ground.“Too long,” Mabel said, biting back a grin at Emma’s eyeroll.“You’re lucky I like you,” the woman declared before shortening the dress until it was just below her knees. Mabel twirled again, the layers of sheer material moving with her.“Even if I’m not a magic?”“You know what to say and when to show your emotions. You know when to push your agenda and when to back off, and you can hold your own against our more malicious peers. You can be vicious, too, when it calls for it. You’re already acting like a magic.”“Oh,” she said, unsure how to react. It never sank into her mind that the qualities
