The world finally came back into focus but there was only darkness. I blinked rapidly, trying to see something. What was this?
In the Elvedom there was no darkness, only light.
When all I could see was an inky blackness that offered nothing, no light, no hope, an incessant buzzing started in my ears. I lifted my hand in an attempt to create light, releasing a cry when nothing happened. My father’s words rang inside my mind. “Your hands will only be able to create magic that assists others.”
“Oh, to the heavens! What have we done, Benidic?” Gwil cried out, the sound echoing. I twisted towards him, holding onto his hand as a lifeline.
Seconds passed, the darkness receding a little as my eyes began to adjust. I squeezed Gwil’s hand harder. “We’ve messed up. Dear Elvedom, what are we to do? I know my father and he will not bring us back until he is satisfied that we have suffered.” A shiver raced down my spine as I inhaled an odd smell. “What is that awful stench?” I said through gritted teeth, doing my best not to open my mouth.
“It… it smells like rotten food,” Gwil offered, inching even closer to me.
His warm body pressed against the length of mine, the fragrant scent of lavender taking the edge off my panic. I wrapped my arms around him and inhaled his scent. The weight of his body against mine was familiar due to the fact that we’d often shared a bed together growing up. His father was the head of the Elvedom protectors which gave him a place of honour in the Elvedom. Most of my memories included Gwil. We were both aware of our fathers’ hopes that once we’d matured, we would mate and bond, as was customary of our kind. I loved Gwil like no other, yet there was something missing. Neither of us had spoken about it though, me because of my inner craving and him… well, I didn’t know why he hadn’t said anything.
To distract myself from the shivers racing down my spine, I recalled my history lessons about Earth.
“Look down there. Is that light? Maybe we can find someone to help us,” Gwil exclaimed, not sounding at all convinced that that might happen.
I looked towards the light to see movement… people. Excitement pulsed to life, my fear decreasing. The stories about humans showed that they could be kind. The thought giving me hope, I propelled Gwil towards where the people were. I popped my head out to look around, Gwil whimpering and clinging to me.
The street lights showed dark grey floors and buildings made out of concrete and brick. Humans walked on the other side of the street, their clothes so different from our flowing robes.
I glanced down, my eyes widening at the dark trousers and thick coat which had replaced my silk trousers and robe. It was only then that I registered that Gwil wore something similar to me. “It would appear Father has thought of everything,” I said, the reality that we wouldn’t be going home any time soon, sinking in.
“But what are we going to use as coin to buy the things we need?” Gwil fretted as he dug his hands into every pocket in the clothes he could find, coming up empty every time.
“We’ll think of something. We have to.” Tears clogged my throat as I tugged Gwil towards me. “We’re going to be fine, you’ll see. All we need to do is find someone to help with our magic and we’ll be home in no time.” I added, putting as much conviction into my voice as I could, Gwil’s eyes sheening with tears. “You’ll see, I promise.”
I just prayed to the Elves of the otherworld that I could keep my promise.

About the Author
Hi all,
My name is Jayne and I live in the Isle of Man. A tiny place in the Irish sea. It’s an island steeped in folklore and history and just begs to have stories written about it, and one of my first inspirations. Over the last few years that has changed and now I find inspiration everywhere.
I’m an eclectic kinda girl so I’ve written contemporary and historical gay romance with a paranormal twist, daddy kink, fake boyfriends, out for you and enemies to lovers. My head is so full of ideas. I never know where it will take me next. I had a twelve book plan for 2020 and I smashed it and will release fourteen books and already I’ve a few new ones bubbling inside me waiting to be written ☺
I hope you have enjoyed this book, and if you are in need of more, then you can find all my other books, on Amazon and in KU.
