want to risk that.”
    “Or maybe it’s a bunch of starving fae they don’t want you to see.”
    “Wow. That’s your first guess. Cynical much?”
    She was just as curious as to what was behind the wall. Not curious enough to rip it apart yet , but maybe she could find a way to see past it. Cross walked perpendicular to the wall and headed up a sand dune back into the village.
    “I wonder how far out the water really goes. None of the fae are even trying to swim out there. Want to find the edge of the world in the forest?”
    “Yeah. Too bad we can’t measure. I wonder if it’s a perfect shape. That would be so creepy.”
    “Do you remember how many Lost Tribe were sent over?”
    Rory thought about it. “I don’t remember. Quite a few though.”
    Cross was looking around the village as they walked to the forest. “I thought it was close to 500. This village looks pretty small for 500 fae plus the generations that had to be born here.”
    “I don’t think fae have a lot of children. I mean if they did, they would all be inbred eventually here.” She shuddered. Nothing good came of inbred supernatural creatures. Were-creatures had the problem long ago since they didn’t like to breed with other supes. The end products were almost always disposed of.
    A blue -haired woman blocked their path as they were nearing the forest again. “Are you Aurora?”
    “Yes.”
    “Good. I am Renn. Please follow me.”

    “This place looks great!” Rory squealed. Cross couldn’t believe she actually made that noise over what he was looking at. It was a nice place, but it was like every other house in town. Nothing to get that excited over. “Where is Cross going to stay?”
    The blue -haired fairy twins looked at one another. It was a twin thing, but even he knew what they were trying to work out.
    “The dwelling has multiple rooms,” Reno, the boy twin, said.
    “So you aren’t going to make another one?”
    “Calm down, Rory,” he told her. “We can share a cabin, it's no problem.”
    The twins smiled and then walked away without any further discussion. They didn’t want to build anything else. They, like him, had assumed he and Rory would stay in the same place. He wouldn’t have stayed anywhere else even if they had made him a separate dwelling. Especially if they had made him a separate place! It would have been obvious if they were trying to separate them.
    “I guess we’re bunk mates again,” she said with a tight smile.
    “It worked out pretty great last time,” he smiled. He was going to make sure it went well this time too. If he had to be stuck in this stupid dimension, he was going to make the best of it. By the time they went home, Rory wouldn’t let her coven break his claim. Once they jumped home through the portal, that coven should have a parade for him. He was really going above and beyond here. Rory would never find a mate as good as him.
    “Again. Shut. Up.” Her face was red , but he knew she was smiling. She opened the door to their new digs and it wasn’t anything to write home about. Any of the Moon Brothers cabins were better stocked than this. The furniture was sparse and by ‘many rooms’ the twins meant three.
    “We need to call them back. There’s no toilet,” he told Rory going back outside. The twins were just across the street talking to a naked dude.
    “Hey! You didn’t make us a bathroom,” Cross said, coming up to them. All the fairies gave him a dirty look. He puffed up his chest and squared his shoulders. “This is your mistake man, not mine. You knew you were making a place for non-fae.”
    He didn’t mention that he had assumed they needed to use the restroom too. This was news to him too. That was a rumor he had heard but didn’t believe. His brothers were going to love hearing about this one.
    “We don’t know how to make those,” Reno said.
    “Well fucking learn how , then. You want us to shit and piss in the corner or something?”
    Renn gagged.
