“You two will have to join hands,” she said.
I looked over at him, reluctant, but did as Kem asked.
Once all of us were connected, she nodded, smiling. “This will work. I can feel the increase in strength.”
She smiled shyly at Stellon. “You are powerful indeed, Your Majesty.”
He smiled back at her, and Kem nodded. “Everyone ready to go?”
“Ready,” Stellon said.
“I think so,” I said.
Pharis had literally told me I wouldn’t be welcome anymore on his doorstep, and I wasn’t sure anymore whether that was true.
We were about to find out.
Chapter 28
Anything You Want
Pharis
Elanor convinced me to take a bath as “a mercy to my staff,” while a maid changed my bedding.
I was just stepping out of the tub when my butler Glave called through the closed bathing room door.
“You have visitors, My Prince.”
“Tell them to go away,” I yelled. “I’m ‘not at home.’”
There was literally no one I cared to see for any reason.
After a pause, he spoke again. “One of them is Lady Raewyn.”
I whirled toward the door so quickly, I slipped on the wet floor and almost fell on my arse before catching my balance.
Pulling the bathing sheet around my waist, I went to the door and yanked it open.
“Raewyn? She’shere? Right now?”
The last time I’d seen her, which was in that addictive looking glass, she was playing on the beach in Sandy Point with her sisters.
That was only this morning. How could she be here? Perhaps it was some sort of trick, a shapeshifter using her glamour to impersonate Raewyn.
But what if itwasher? My heart began thumping in a way it hadn’t since the last time I was with her.
“You’re sure it’s Raewyn?” I asked Glave.
He nodded vigorously.
“She called me by name and hugged me when I opened the door. She’s in the receiving room at this very moment.”
After a pause he added. “With your brother.”
Just like that, the hopeful heart-racing stopped.
“They arrived together?” I asked in a tone so harsh my butler jumped.
