Hunter rubbed the back of his neck. “I forgot to tell you. Darian is Meryn’s brother, but he’s also the new King of the Fae.”

That was as far as he got. He moved quickly, catching his mate.

“She didn’t even fully pass out when she heard about the bad stuff,” he said, holding her close.

Brennus chuckled. “Meryn has a way of making things seem so commonplace.”

“My Unky is the King of the Fae?” Keran asked.

“Are you his mama?” Nicol asked, pointing to Darian from Queen Aleksandra’s arms.

“I am.”

Nicol gave a serious nod. “I could tell, because you’re very pretty.”

Hunter held his mate and began lightly tapping her cheeks. “Hun, it’s okay.”

His mate slowly began to wake up. “What happened?”

“I think you found your limit for the day,” he said, kissing her forehead.

Kiera looked to Nicol and Queen Aleksandra. “Your Majesty, I am so sorry.”

Aleksandra waved off her concerns. “Nothing to be sorry for.”

“Kiera! Unky Darian is the King of the Fae!” Keran announced.

Kiera’s right eye began to twitch.

Hunter fanned her. “It’s okay!”

When she turned to look at him, he knew he was in trouble. “I probably should have said something huh?”

“You think!”

“Crap.”

Chapter Five

Kiera glared at Hunter as he helped her to stand. “Would it be some type of record if I kill my mate the day we met?”

Hunter winced.

Keran took her hand, in his other he still held the bracelet the queen gave him. “Why are you mad?”

She sputtered, not knowing how to explain to him, that she felt blindsided.

Hunter gave her an apologetic look. “I didn’t think to warn your sister that she might be meeting important people.”

Keran frowned. “Does it matter if they’re family?”

Kiera watched as both the former queen of the fae and the current queen of the fae melt at his innocent question. “I guess not.”

“My name is Brennus and this is our squire Cord,” Brennus said, smiling broadly.

“You know Auntie?” Keran asked.

Brennus nodded slowly. “I’m her uncle, that makes her my niece.”
