Betrayals of Spring (Forever Fae #2)(72)

- Five Months Later -



The Spring Court has flourished and a new life has begun for us all. After the bonding with Kalen we built our palace and have accepted many new fae into our Court. It’s been interesting to see how the bodily changes would occur when the various fae would join our court. The skin and temperature changes are what we expected, but something new has developed that I never thought possible. Kalen and I have the flower markings with the shimmery, golden glow, but when our fae swear fealty to our court they are given the same golden sheen to their skin. We didn’t know if it would pass to our fae, but miraculously it has. Our people are absolutely beautiful and breathtaking.

Kalen’s wolves have joined us here and their pack has blossomed with life. Several new pups have been born and it’s been a joy to have them here running around. They have acclimated extremely well to the milder temperatures, and have made their home here amidst the palace walls. Aki has been a loyal protector and still guards me when I venture outside the palace grounds.

I finally told Kalen about the adventures I went through to find him, and he was none too pleased to hear about them. The sprites I sent to the Summer Court have now joined me here in the Spring Court along with my other sprite friends. They tend to all of the Spring’s needs and I have never been more grateful.

The flowers grow as far as the eyes can see, making the land shimmer in rainbows of color. I’ve never felt more at home than I do now amongst the flowers and nature. The leprechauns have joined our court as well and have brought a massive amount of knowledge along with them. They are old and wise and I know their experience and skills will help us grow and flourish.

Bayleon and Bastian of the Tyvar have kept in touch and have sent me several gifts over the past few months which I have absolutely adored. Explaining to Kalen of my time in the Tyvar territory was not a pleasant experience, but I had to tell him the truth of what I did to get out of there. He wasn’t happy in the least, but he was thankful I made it out of there in one piece. I also informed him of Breena’s fate and that I left her there. He said he understood and that she deserved everything that came her way. I agree, but I think I would have rather killed her myself so I could see her suffer. I don’t know what it would have been like to stay trapped with the Tyvar but I sure am glad that I will never find out. Kalen only respects them now because they let me go.

The one thing Kalen has had a severe problem with is my promise to the Redcaps. They have sworn fealty to the Spring Court and I refuse to go back on my promise to them. I will protect my fae to the best of my ability. Shamus, the clan leader of the Redcaps, has kept true to his word by sending a messenger to retrieve their supply of blood from me. Grishom is always the one to come, and I’ve grown very fond of him in the process. He says I remind him of the lass he fell in love with centuries ago, and he always makes me laugh every time he says it.

Finn, of course, has stayed in the Summer Court and has now taken over Ashur’s place in training the warriors with my brother, Drake. I haven’t seen him since that last day in my room when I had awoken from my slumber. I was told just recently that he’s very happy and in love with a beautiful Summer fae woman. I wish him all the love and happiness in the world.

My Guardian, Ashur, is happily bonded with Elissa and they live in a nice little house on the palace grounds. It works out great for them because Elissa is usually with me and so is Ashur because of his guardian duties. They are both happy and have just found out they will be expecting their first child in a few months.

So far all is right in the Land of the Fae, or at least until the dark sorcerer strikes again. There are still many things we have yet to learn on how to destroy him. I just hope we figure something out soon before it’s too late.





We’re lying in the tall grass surrounded by the colorful array of flowers. I’m propped up on my elbows while Kalen is beside me running his hands lovingly down my lightly swollen belly. He has no clue that I hold twins inside my womb. I’ve decided to keep it a secret, but it never stops him from asking.

Kalen kisses my belly and looks at me pleadingly, “Why won’t you tell me, love? I want to know if we have a little Kalen in there or not.”

I shake my head and laugh, “I’m not telling you. It’s a surprise.”

He huffs playfully, and then continues to caress my belly in silence with a huge smile on his face. Actually, we do have a little Kalen in there, but we also have a little Meliantha as well. Elvena checked on me the other day and told me that my twins are a going to be a girl and a boy. I have been floating on a cloud of joy ever since. Elvena was also able to tell me what they would look like. I was shocked when she told me they would be born with amethyst-colored eyes, and that one will be red-headed like me while the other will be dark-headed like Kalen. I will no longer be the only fae with purple eyes, but able to share in this rarity with my children.

A new magic is at work in the Land of the Fae, and I know it’ll be strong enough to get us through the dark times ahead.
