“I doubt you’ve brought me a gift I can enjoy,” he said lazily, his gaze sliding over me with an interest that was far from subtle.
“Father, I would like to present to you my Fated. This is my Siren,” Wye cut in, his tone firm.
“Eliza Shadowmere.”
The shift was immediate.
“Ah,” his father murmured, something far more knowing settling into his expression.
“So, she was right…my sweet beloved.”I frowned, shooting Wye a look, but he just shook his head before confirming on a whisper,
“He speaks of my mother.”
“Oh,” I uttered as his father leaned forward slightly, resting his chin against his knuckles.
“Let’s see, Hell’s Prince, a human Siren and a Kobalos demon…”
“Walk into a bar?” I filled in making his father chuckle,
“Oh, I like her son. But alas, as much as it sounds like the perfect set-up for a jest, I believe my son is far too serious for such things, especially as he has something to tell me,” He said, raising a brow and waiting for it.
Wye’s expression hardened.
“We have a prisoner who needs to be returned to his cage. Dantalion has escaped the Null.” A pause followed, and then his father waved a hand dismissively.
“Leave that to me,” he said lightly, making Wye’s eyes widen.
“But…”
“But nothing, for now. If I have need of you when the time comes, I will call on you. Until then, he will no doubt be licking his wounds and trying to regain his power. Flushing him outwill take time… and it seems you have far more pressing matters to attend to.” His gaze flicked between us, something amusing sparkling there. I didn’t have long to wait as he added,
“Like marrying this one.” My mouth dropped open in a gasp as he winked at me.
“Erh I…” I started to say when Wye shocked me even more and replied,
“I’ll send you an invite,” Bo pumped a fist and said,
“Wow, way to go, girly, you work fast.” I scowled down at him.
His father’s gaze shifted to him, amused.
“And this one?”
“He’s coming with us,” Wye said without hesitation, and my wide-eyed gaze shot to his when he admitted,
“He’s proven useful.” Bo grinned.
“You hear that? I’m officially part of the team now.” I laughed softly despite everything, bumping my fist against his.
Because just like that, it was over.
Not the story.
No, that was just the beginning, as I knew that what came next…
Was Fated after all.
