Meliantha. I can see she’s looking down at my
clenched hands, Her pensive expression lets me know she can feel my anger.
She bites her lip, and then from out of
nowhere she lifts her face slowly to meet mine. Her amethyst-colored eyes bore
into mine, and my heart instantly stops. Her eyes go wide and she puts a hand
over her chest before sucking in a sharp breath.
The blast from the connection has me
weak in the knees, and I would have stumbled back if I didn’t catch myself in
time. She can’t deny these feelings now because I know she feels them, too. I
see it in her eyes. The look on her face goes from shock to confused, but then
it changes to anger.
I’m taken aback; I don’t understand why
she would have hostility toward me. I’ve never done anything to her to make her
react this way. I thought she would be happy to have this connection. I know
her feelings in the past were growing for me each second she spent with me, and
I felt the same feelings for her.
Finn’s grip on Meliantha catches my
attention. It looks hard and bruising, and what’s really strange is that his
expression is one of alarm, not anger. This guy is acting really weird and the
vibes I’m getting aren’t good ones at all. I honestly don’t like him being
around Meliantha and holding on to her so hard. I reach for her hand, but she
quickly pulls away. My chest tightens with rejection.
I’m beginning to worry about her
relationship with Finn. Why won’t she let me touch her, and why is she letting
Finn do this to her? I don’t understand what’s going on. If we are meant to be
together, why is she fighting it? I take a couple of deep breaths to calm my
nerves before turning my attention to the group of Summer fae before me.
“I believe it’s time to show you to your
quarters now. If you would follow me please,” I announce.
I take them to the back entrance of the
palace so we can take the path to where the cottage is located. I’m confused as
hell and uncertain about this turn of events. What the hell am I going to do
now? I’m engaged to another woman, but have loved someone else this whole time.
Now, the one woman I had fallen in love with years ago has changed into a
different person and is deeply involved with another man. How did things get so
complicated?
I can feel the frustration building, so
I quicken my pace to hopefully get the thoughts of killing someone out of my
head. I would really love to beat the shit out of Finn right now, but I don’t
think that would be such a great idea. Imagining him and Meliantha together all
these years make me livid. I know I have had Breena, but I never enjoyed
sleeping with her. I shake my head and run my fingers through my hair.
I really don’t need to think about it,
and so I chastise myself. I decide to concentrate on figuring out a way to get
Meliantha alone, so I can speak to her privately. She has to hear what I have
to say. The only sounds I hear as we walk along the path to their cottage are
the sounds of their footsteps crunching on the path, and the sounds of the snow
pattering on the ground .

This can’t be happening , I scream at
myself. How can I be feeling this connection to Kalen after everything that’s
happened and after everything he’s put me through? I can see Kalen’s hands
clench when Finn possessively wraps his arm around me I kept repeating to
myself over and over that I can do this and keep my distance; however, some
strong force is urging me to look up. I tell myself not to look him, but my
eyes have a mind of their own and betray me. They search for his eyes and find
them staring back intently at me. The pull to him is so strong it makes me weak
in the knees. I thought hearing his voice earlier was a shock to my system, but
nothing compares to this . My heart flutters at the sight of him, and I
grab my chest hoping
