Hey everyone, Autumn here. I would like to thank you all very much for reading my story. I would love if you would tell me how you feel about it and give me feedback in the comments below.
Love Ya.
Enjoy this chapter! Sorry it's short.
Aelin
I grabbed one of my twin blades and threw it at the female fae. She ducked just in time. I saw her mate glare at me with such loath in his eyes that reminded me of my time as an assassin.
"Sorry." I said to Feyre, "it wasn't aimed at you"
"Then who the hell was it aimed at?" Rhys demanded, forcing me to look into his eyes. I didn't. Instead, I called out a name,
"Salvaterre" a grunt and then a fae male blessed by the god of death appeared. Lorcan. His upper arm bleeding with a knife still impaled in it. Rhys cursed.
"Bitch - Queen" Lorcan grinned and Rowan snarled. Gods I missed him. I smiled widely at Lorcan.
"Rowan, Lysandra, Aedion you can release them," I said, they did. Then I turned to the High Lords. "I didn't mean to hurt any of you, I hope we can work this out so that I and my court can get back to our homeland." Feyre stepped forward,
"My mate and I would be happy to host you until you can find a way back" she grinned. I nodded
"We are grateful" gods, it was so hard to be nice. She dipped her head slightly.
The other high Lords dispensed unceremoniously and left us with the night court.
"We could do introductions now but it would be a waste. We'll get to Velaris and then you'll get the full inner circle welcoming." Rhys said. I had to admit, he was oh so cocky. Lorcan cleared his throat and I glared at him,
"Yes?"
"What on earth am I supposed to do?" for some reason, I felt like going off on him, I turned and walked up to him. When we were face to face I said,
"I honestly don't give a damn what the hell you do. As long as you stay far away from the lady of Perranth and my court. Because, I'll put this lightly. You have nothing left to gamble, trade or leverage against anyone. You are done. So unless you want an ugly death I suggest you…." I made a sweeping motion with my hands and he growled, slowly disappearing into the night.
"You will regret this Aelin Ashryver Galathynius" and then the darkness devoured him.
"After that….. Budding affair….. Shall we go?" Feyre offered, I turned to Rowan and he nodded ever so slightly, as if to say, get it over with, Aelin.
"Would you mind is the rest of my court comes with us? I would hate for them to stand all night like this" I voiced it as a question but they all knew it wasn't. Rhys nodded. I cupped my hands around my mouth and said, "Everyone that is brooding in the forest, come out."
