Chapter Forty-One: Visions

North suppressed a shiver that could have come from the cold in the room, or Caiusโ€™s harsh glare. Straightening her shoulders and spine, she stood before him and crossed her arms over her chest. โ€œYou have to protect Ryland.โ€

Caius focused his gaze on her. โ€œWho do you think opened the portal?โ€

North nodded her acknowledgement, but pressed on. She needed verbal confirmation that Ryland was safe. โ€œWe appreciate it, but you canโ€™t let them have Ryland.โ€

Caius nodded just once, and the room warmed marginally. โ€œWe have no intention of returning Ryland to his realm.โ€ He turned his gaze to Ryland, who was still clearly suffering the effects of sedation, but seemed to have regained some awareness in the last few minutes. โ€œThat means youโ€™ll never be able to return to Nourak without facing a sentence there, Ryland.โ€

Ryland flinched for a moment, and then his expression turned calm. โ€œIโ€™m fine with that. Nourak hasnโ€™t felt like home in decades.โ€ He turned to North, taking

    Chapter Forty-Two: Doe, A DeerAs much as she hated leaving the issue unsettled with Caius, it was difficult to hold on to acrimony when they crossed into Bael. It was picturesque and reminded her strongly of pictures she had seen of Scotland in her books. When she mentioned that to Eamon, he said, โ€œIreland would be more apt, since our people settled that region when some emigrated from Bael, but the geography is similar. Those Baelic folk used their magic to shape their new realm to resemble Bael.โ€โ€œAmazing.โ€ As much as she had learned about magic, and how to use it, hearing what it could do still surprised her sometimes. โ€œWhere are we heading?โ€ As she asked, the portal closed behind them. For a moment, she feared Caius would leave them there and not reopen it. Realizing that wouldnโ€™t be such a bad thing, she stepped away from itโ€”also knowing he wouldnโ€™t give up the Trueblood he wanted to control.โ€œAscaya, which is the capitol.โ€ Eamon made a sharp whistling sound with his mouth, but

    Chapter Forty-Three: FireworksThe fireworks show was impressive and mostly a way for the brothers to one-up each other. Eamon was drawn in to it, and North enjoyed it all. Toward the end of the show, Orin stepped forward, and with a grin, unleashed a shining green and gold dragon that whooshed through the sky and exploded in a shower of sparkles. Everyone clapped, and North made the appropriate sounds of appreciation, but she was secretly chilled.The dragon made her think of Pytor, which drew her back into the dark place, where she worried about falling into his hands, or back into her birthparentsโ€™ clutches. She didnโ€™t want to be a tool they used to conquer and control others, but she wasnโ€™t confident she had the strength to fight them if they laid hands on her.She was lost in her turmoil, so it took a moment to realize the others had dissipated, leaving just her and her six men on the roof of the castle. She was trying hard to fight back the fear that threatened to steal her joy

    Chapter Forty-Four: Friend or Foe?Bael felt like home perhaps more than any realm had yet, though sheโ€™d felt similarly about Tiranog, and North was reluctant to leave it when their stay ended five days later. Sheโ€™d learned what she could and had tapped fully into her Baelic magic, so there was no reason to linger, other than she wanted to. Part of that might be because she so dreaded her trip to Eliโ€™s realm. Ascensia scared her beyond reason, because it was the place she was most likely to be able to shift. That terrified her, and she tried to pretend she would give it her all, but she was secretly thinking to herself that she didnโ€™t plan to try too hard.After sad partings with Eamonโ€™s father and stepmother, and slightly more offensive partings with his brothers, they stepped through the portal with a wave. As she emerged into the Earth side, North realized she had to face the Council before they would go to Ascensia. All seven of them formed a ring around the portal, and they all l

    Chapter Forty-Five: UntamedThey entered a thickly forested area. This wasnโ€™t the same kind of almost-tamed forest that had been on Bael. It was dark and primeval, with the fecund scent of soil, and everything looked rough around the edges. Even the buildings visible in the distance were on the primitive side.They moved closer to the settlement as they walked carefully through the wild forest. Most huts were clearly fashioned from material provided by the forest, and someone appeared to have carved the bare niche of land forming the space for the buildings from sheer brute force. Everywhere she looked, she could see signs of the forest trying to encroach again and reclaim its territory.The smell of soil gradually faded from her nostrils to be replaced by a less pleasant scentโ€”wet fur and shifter bodies, combined with the unique musk that she had never noticed on Eli, but could only assume emitted from each of the shifters and joined together to create a strange musk.Ryland sneezed

    Chapter Forty-Six: ImpossibleThe next night was a full moon, which meant a gathering for the wolf-shifters. She had the fae fabric become a comfortable outfit, in case they ran. She had no idea what to expect as they all followed Eli to the square of the village. Someone had started a huge bonfire, and there were several naked shifters cavorting around it. Others had already shifted.โ€œTry this.โ€ Eli handed her a glass of something pale purple.She sniffed it. โ€œWhat is it?โ€โ€œPink yarrow wine. Itโ€™s good for you.โ€She took a cautious sip and gasped. โ€œI didnโ€™t expect it to be so strong.โ€Eli laughed as he handed glasses of the wine to the other men. โ€œIt has a kick, but it tastes great.โ€North wasnโ€™t entirely sure sheโ€™d use the word great, but it wasnโ€™t bad. She ended up finishing the glass over the next twenty minutes as they all mingled. She interacted more with Eliโ€™s family and saw her other husbands were getting along with the wolves too. It was important to her that they all get alon

    Chapter Forty-Seven: OpeningThe fighting was brutal, with an overwhelming number of soldiers. If it hadnโ€™t been for Eliโ€™s brethren joining them, they would have been wiped out by the sheer numbers that poured through the portal in the short time it was opened before it closed. Marek fought as hard as the others until all he could see was a pile of fallen and smell the coppery tang of blood in the air.โ€œWe have to get back to the Council.โ€ Eli looked wary, but seemed determined to ignore the reality of exhaustion.Marek could relate. It was finally safe, so he returned his fire sword to the scabbard hidden by his wings. โ€œWhat about all this?โ€ He gestured at the pile of bodies.Eileen approached, looking grim. Blood smeared her face, but it didnโ€™t seem to be her own, since there were no visible injuries. โ€œYou go after North. Weโ€™ll sort out our dead from theirs for a proper burial and then burn the rest.โ€โ€œThanks, Ma.โ€ Eli leaned forward to hug her. โ€œIโ€™m sorry to run.โ€Eileen nodded. โ€œI

He was taking no chances of them recognizing Eli and trying to keep them out. They wouldnโ€™t be denied entry, but heโ€™d like to make things as quick and neat as possible.Carol was the one to open the door, and she left the chain on. โ€œWhat is it? Do you have any idea what time it is?โ€โ€œItโ€™s time for you to tell us what you know.โ€ Eli burst past Kriss, ripping the chain from its plate as he collided for the door.So much for subtlety. With a shrug, Kriss entered behind him and closed the door as the sound of bare feet running down the hall reached them. He stood with his arms crossed over his chest as he waited for Jim to join them.Eli held Carol by the back of her shirt, ignoring her ineffectual struggles.

    Chapter Forty-Nine: Memories (Lack Thereof)North woke with a throbbing headache. It hurt so badly that she couldnโ€™t think clearly. The pain centered in a spot on top of her head, so she lifted a hand to touch it and flinched when she encountered something metallic in nature. She whimpered and started to thrash.โ€œEnough, Nara. You must be calm.โ€ The male voice was authoritative, but it didnโ€™t make her want to listen.Instead, she wanted to run away. Panic filled her as she opened her eyes, unable to see anything. โ€œWhatโ€™s happening? Who are you? Where am I?โ€ Who am I? That question echoed around in her head. Heโ€™d called her Nara, but that didnโ€™t feel right. In fact, it felt wrong on so many levels that she rejected the name immediately.If she wasnโ€™t Nara, who was she? She tried to think, but couldnโ€™t remember anything beyond being certain her name was North.โ€œCalm please.โ€ The soothing female voice had a gentle touch to match. โ€œLet me make some adjustments.โ€North froze as those hands

    Chapter Fifty-Three: ReunionIt was over, and relief swept through her. Her spine stiffened, and she managed to stand upright again. โ€œWeโ€™ll do our best.โ€ Persephone nodded and disappeared into the crowd of people who were triaging survivors or stacking the dead to be jettisoned into Noirvald. North turned away from all the chaos, no longer wanting in part of it. Other people could clean up, but she needed the reassurance of her mates. โ€œI need to be alone with you. All of you.โ€โ€œOf course.โ€ Eamon took the lead, and they ended up back in the bedroom she first used at her arrival at headquarters. North waited until the door closed before she started undressing.โ€œNorth, maybe you shouldnโ€™tโ€ฆโ€ Ryland looked uncertain.She managed a small smile. โ€œI should. I definitely need to. I was denied contact with you for the last two weeks, and I need to renew our bonds. This is what I need right now.

    Chapter Fifty-Two: Find Your WayNorth stared around, vaguely aware the place was familiar. When Pytor moved from her side, she felt nothing but a wave of relief. Even that was a dull sense, and emotions barely penetrated her. Her mind was thick and heavy, like it was shrouded in fog.She remembered opening the portal, and how it had drained her for several minutes. Sheโ€™d had to regain her strength before Pytor could lead her through it. She remembered thinking she should resist, but hadnโ€™t been able to do so.She remembered the moment when the portal had torn open, though it hadnโ€™t been a neat hole. Even now, the edges were ripped, and the energy felt wrong to her. She still had her physical senses intact, even if she couldnโ€™t really access her emotions. Her arm remained hanging, and she willed it to fall at her side, but couldnโ€™t without his permission.Anger stirred in her that she needed his authorization for such a mundane task, and she glared at his back. It was easier to think

    Chapter Fifty-One: AttackOrin paced around the cell, sick to death of the confines of the small room. Theyโ€™d been trapped in there for two weeks, let out only on a one-by-one basis in order to shower and see to hygiene needs three times per day. He was amazed they still let them do that after the last couple of escape attempts, but perhaps Caius had some remaining compassion.Just not enough to risk weakening the Council to a level that made them uncomfortable even if it meant rescuing North from Pytor. He didnโ€™t understand how Caius could justify that decision, even though the Council had little love for North. They should realize that the longer North was with Pytor, the more vulnerable she was to falling under his command. Apparently, that wasnโ€™t worth risking their control.Before he could stop himself, he paused, rammed a fist against the bar, and cursed. The curse was a combination of frustration and pain from colliding with the bar. There were wards placed all around them, plu

    Chapter Fifty: FrenemyTwo weeks. Two miserable weeks had passed, and North was no closer to recovering her memory. Each time she had a flash of something important, Pytor seemed to realize it and ordered Kira to adjust her dose of the โ€œsolution.โ€ She still had no idea what that was, but each dose made it harder to think and harder to resist his horrible orders.โ€œDo it.โ€ He raged at her, waving at the body crumpled on the floor. โ€œKill the yaogui.โ€She closed her eyes, her body trembling from the torture heโ€™d already forced her to inflict on the small creature huddling on the floor before her. โ€œWhy?โ€โ€œDonโ€™t question. Never question me. You do as I say. Now kill it. Show me the range of your power.โ€ His temples throbbed with the force of his anger.North looked down at the pitiful creature, which had been broken for at least an hour. She wished she could say it was the first time heโ€™d made her use her magic to hurt others, but it wasnโ€™t. This was the first time heโ€™d told her to kill for
