“What’s the matter?” Serena noticed my sudden tensed form and asked.

With a gruff, I raised my head up and looked at her. “Trouble knocking at our door, my queen, and I reckon their visit has something to do with you.”

She knotted her brows at first, fell silent for a moment, then I saw a flicker of awareness in her eyes.

“Yes, they are here for me,” she muttered softly, a sudden tinge of worry painting her face.

Hell, she was yet to tell me everything. She was yet to give me a thorough explanation. For these damn faes to boldly enter my realm meant that Serena was too important for them to just simply ignore.

Unlucky for them, she meant the same to my kingdom and to me. More even.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let them take you,” I said whilst standing up. “Stay here.”

With the fae king’s visit, my wolf started baring its teeth. This was ever the first time a king of any realm visited another in surprise. This could be a cause for this man’s downfall or he just might have a very good reason why he had to knock my door with threat looming in the air.

I may not know yet the whole story, but what information I have currently, I placed two and two together. What could Serena being a High Priestess in the fae realm mean?

Fuck, I wished I had asked Adamar and Adaen further about this.

Transporting to my throne room in a second, the first thing I noticed was Elijah already standing a couple of feet away from me, shoulders stiff and eyes at attention. Beside him was Farryl. She immediately knelt on one knee in deference to me, the kind that showed complete submission to a higher command.

I tipped my head at both of them.

‘Be on guard,’ I mind-linked to them.

They nodded.
