cheek. “We will see her again.”
The moment Lea is in Nerria’s arms, I see a disturbance in the air in front of Nerria and Rossa and they disappear. I look down as tears overflow my eyes and I hold onto the pulsating crystal for dear life.
Wrapping my arm through Aison’s strong arm, we slowly walk to the staircase looming ahead of us.
He breaks the depressing silence. “We will see her again. They are wonderful Fae, and will give her an amazing life among their own. We however have many enemies we have to prepare for.”
Chapter Five
As soon as I recovered from my portal trip from Nalla Vareim, my head started to spin all over again. I sat down under a maple tree and just thanked God for the beautiful spring weather in the Adirondacks. Knowing all too well if it were winter I probably would have frozen to death in about 5 feet of snow. Standing up, I notice my legs are still wobbly.
I lose my temper with the knowledge I still haven’t become accustomed to being transported from my homeland. My aunts Nerria and Rossa keep telling me it will come in time and not to fret. I half smile to myself while walking through the clearing to reach the little cottage at the end. Seeing Anne’s black SUV at the front of her quaint little white cottage, has my feet moving at a pace to keep up with the enthusiasm threatening to escape my lips with a silly giggle. I jog up the walkway.
Anne greets me while screaming, “Lea!”
She has always looked sweet and matronly to me, but then again I am only twenty-five, almost twenty-six. Anne flings herself out the door and almost knocks me down. Giggling, I steady myself and step back to have a look at her. If not for all the little wrinkles around her eyes and lips, I would not think she had aged at all. Her hair seems purple today and I don’t believe it was her intended color. I bend over to kiss her on her puffy pink cheek. This brings a big smile to her sweet face. She slips her arm inside of mine as we walk into her quaint cottage. When we step into her living room, I feel an overwhelmingly strong presence, which makes me realize we aren’t alone.
There, sitting on Anne’s comfortable couch, is the most handsome man my eyes have ever had the pleasure to look upon. The good-looking man is only a few inches taller than my five feet seven inch frame and has raven black hair cut in a military style, different from the Fae I’m used to dating. He has the eeriest but most strikingly ice blue eyes, amazingly broad shoulders that just scream strength and power. Oh, so much sexiness wrapped into this amazing package.
Apparently, I am staring because a smirk appears on his face. He stands coming to no more than four inches from where I am. He clears his throat and extends his hand to me. Reaching out to grasp his hand in a friendly shake, I can’t help but feel an unexplainable pull to him. His bare palm against mine feels as if it’s the most intimate of places touching. He obviously is aware of the amount of passion that seems to want to consume both of us. We both back up a few inches, hoping the flame will dissipate with some distance. It is nearly impossible to break eye contact with him. I see him swallow hard. We try for the niceties, both attempting and failing.
He finally speaks and says with a voice so amazingly deep and sexy, “My name is Alexander of the Neuri clan; it is great to meet you.”
When he finishes speaking, I blink a few times. “My name is Lea from Nalla Vareim,” just as the words of my homeland escape my lips, he starts circling me, obviously looking at me. I couldn’t help but feel insecure about what he was looking at so I turn with him instead of feeling foolish just standing there. I turn all the way around and catch him looking at my ass.
Anne clears her throat. “We have tea or coffee if you prefer.”
He breaks the awkward stare. “Coffee please, Aunt Anne, and I am thinking Lea would also like a cup of
