I’d had centuries of time wasted by the Gods-damned Veil keeping us apart. My patience had worn thin.

The shadows opened, parting for Mab as she stepped through with all the lethal grace of a female who had grown up as royalty, practicing her cruelty and honing it into the sharpest blade over her countless centuries of life.

The Cursed Crown. The stone that had twisted Mab from a daughter of the Summer Court into the Queen of Air and Darkness. I wanted nothing more than to shatter it and drive the shards through her eyes.

From the moment I’d been created, from the very instant I’d come into this world and drawn my first breath, she’d been in the Void between life and death.

“I care because I would want someone to do the same for you if the time ever came. I care because the witches cursed us to maintain the balance of nature after the Fae became too powerful. The cycle of life is all a part of that balance, and to disrespect it is to threaten nature itself.”

I felt you fall in love all over again, but with me this time. I see in your eyes that you wish you could take it back more than anything, but you can’t. Because you and I both know what you felt; we both know you loved me with everything you were. More than you ever loved your husbands in all your past lives. You still do, and you can’t wish that away, because you were born to love me, whether I deserve it or not.”

“He is fortunate that you survived,” Caldris murmured against me, his words twisted and his voice filled with cruelty. He brushed the hair away from my neck. “Otherwise I’d have kept him alive to play with him over the course of years. Let the cwn annwn have their fun. They are far more merciful than me.”

That wasn’t me. It may be normal to the Fae, but I was a human. I’d been born a human, and for the love of Gods I would die as one.

“Caelum,” I said sadly, reaching up to cup his cheek. “I don’t want this. I want to slit his throat myself. I want to be there to watch the life fade from his eyes the way my father’s did when Byron made me watch. I want him to know it was me who killed him. Don’t take that from me.”

“I would never tell you to be like me. I would advise you to find love in your heart, to find patience and understanding, even if I am incapable of it myself. Because as we’ve stood here having this worthless conversation that I will not bother to remember in a few days’ time, I’ve already imagined a dozen different ways I could kill you,” I said, watching as her eyes rounded with shock. She swallowed, glancing at Caldris out of the corner of her eye. “I do not need the God of the Dead to fight my battles with a human woman; I would do it myself. So no, Skye. Don’t be like me.

“Aren’t you?” she asked. No part of her moved, not her mouth or her hands at her sides, but a strangled sound bubbled up Octavian’s throat in response. His hands flew to his throat, nails digging in on either side as he dropped to his knees. I watched in horror as his face turned red. “What’s that? Witch got your tongue?” Imelda stared down at him, turning her head to the side and leaning forward as if she would be able to understand the babbles coming from him.

“I’d like to see you reach the stirrups, witch,” Holt said, placing a foot in one pointedly and lifting himself up onto the back of the saddle. He settled himself against her ass, pressing closer than was probably necessary as she froze solid. “I did warn you that you would feel it,” he added with a chuckle, reaching
