    Maeve stared at the King as he coldly delivered his verdict. How had the man she loved grown up under such loathing? She understood a little better why he was the way he was. Silently she wove her fingers through her mates and gave his hand a comforting squeeze. Despite their differences and the...

    Maeve looked as though she were about to be sick. Splattered... She had known Lorcan was strong but to be able to turn another fae into little more than a pile of meat made her stomach turn. Not because he held that power, not because he had used it on someone so evil, but that because he had...

    Maeve's face drained of colour and she sat down heavily upon the couch, seemingly forgetting whose company she was in and any insult she might incur. Midir for the most part only barely glanced in her direction before returning his attention to his son.

    "I'm fine," Maeve glanced from Lorcan to the man standing over his shoulder. Instead of leaving, he settled back down onto the couch to seemingly wait for the pair to have their moment. She had thought Lorcan's power a mighty weight but Midir's was crushing. Every instinct within her screamed to...

    The twins had found her in the library that first day. It had taken some coaxing but between them they had eventually managed to get her back to the Orchid. She'd barely said a word as they complimented her ring, undressed her and put her in the big tub in her suite. They gave up trying when she...

    Maeve's shoulders slumped. It was not the answer she had wanted, but the one she had known in her heart was coming. A part of her had known even when she'd started the argument that it had been futile. Fae were beyond the human constraints she still mentally governed herself by. She didn't think...

    It was a painful way to learn just how weak, how young she was in the ways of magic. He had torn through what pitiful shields she had managed to learn in seconds and filled her mind with memories that had rendered her unable to do anything but cry. She knew that even some of the 'lesser' fae as...

    Maeve could barely hear beyond the memories. Her hands fisted in her hair over her pointed ears - points that still made her flinch at the alienness - and she dug her nails into her scalp in an effort to help her differentiate between the pain of the past and the here and now. She had wanted to...

    Maybe she had gone a little too far, Mae conceded when the look on her mates face had her taking an automatic step back. She knew deep down he would never hurt her, knew even deeper down she had the magic to match anything he threw at her, but she had been human a bare month ago and it was that...

    Rage tinged her vision red and stopped the words in her throat. There was too much emotion for her still very human mind to comprehend let alone deal with. She could feel her magic pushing at her skin desperate to escape, to be free, to not be caged. It only flared her own feelings turning a...

    "Rational?!" starlight flared around her illuminating the tiny stars that swirled amongst the blue inky markings on her skin. The irony of screeching the word was not entirely lost on her, but it didn't stop her from ploughing on as she tried to wrestle the alien magic. "I'll be rational when...

    Maeve's eyes only seemed to narrow further and from the sudden set of her jaw it was clear she was willing - and about to - dig her heels in deep. "I can handle myself. I handled you, didn't I, when I was just a human?" she had withstood the torture too as a human until her body had been forced...

    "It's not funny, Lorcan," Mae frowned and propped herself up onto her elbow. The movement caused waves of her red hair to fall forward and graze his bare chest. A few seconds ago it would have been enough to distract her and contemplate how her lips would feel against the smooth expanse of skin...

    It was incredibly hard to argue with him when he was looking at her like that, touching her in that way. Her body was screaming for something beyond simple words. Her fingers wound into his hair as his lips traced over her delicate, sensitive skin. "This isn't the end of the conversation," she...

    Maeve pulled a face at the idea of the whole of Endora coming to see her. She had been a Princess of her people and was used to the attention being a Royal afforded her, but there was still something unnerving to think this time those people would be fae. Even if she was one of them now. Still...
