“I’m Winter, nice to meet you,” the woman says. I step away from Rick and to Josh’s side as I reach for her hand as I introduce myself.
“I’m Adelaide,” I say, sliding my hand into hers. Her eyes widen in shock, and she falls to the floor, holding her hand as she screams in pain. The angel looks at me in horror, falling to the woman’s side, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Dozens of people start running out from the trees towards us, and I step closer to Josh, feeling confused. Did I hurt her?
“Run!” Winter screams just as a blurry blue wave of light appears in front of us. I go to run when the light seems to pull me into it, and I can do nothing but let it. The last thing I see is Josh grabbing my hand before the light burns so bright that everything real is lost as we start falling, and a voice whispers to me:
The true prophesied queen of the Fray comes home…with death as her shadow.
I rub my wrist, tears streaming down my face as I stare into the heartbroken eyes of Freddy who stares at the spot where Adelaide, the strange owl, and Josh just were. They are gone. The promise is paired.
“What did you do, Winter?” Freddy demands in shock. “What the hell did you do? Where are they?”
Dabriel helps me stand up, holding me close as the others get to us.
“I made a promise in the war to a Fray queen. I was told I would meet a half Fray…a royal of their kind, and that I would send her back,” I tell them all honestly. “I was tricked, and Queen Lilyanne is a monster.”
“How could you do that to a person you don’t even know?” Freddy asks in disgust, and it breaks my heart to see him looking at me like this. Mich and Nath haven’t even moved, they look confused and destroyed. They all love her…and this is my fault.
“It wasn’t her choice. The war had to be won, and Winter couldn’t have known she would be your mate, Freddy,” Jax says, stepping to my side just as the others get closer. “Are you okay? The baby okay?”
“I’m fine,” I whisper.
“We have to go to Frayan. Now,” Mich demands, placing his hand on Freddy’s shoulder. “We have to save Adie and Josh.”
“I know a way. Over the years, I researched a way to rescue the girl I had to send. I never planned to just send anyone to the monster I made the promise to,” I say, thinking back to the Fray in my castle. There is one way to get there, but it is a one-way trip.
“Then send us there,” Nath demands. “We have to find them both.”
“We will find her and save her,” Freddy firmly replies, sounding like his uncle and father. Sounding like a king.
“I didn’t know,” I whisper, still in shock.
“It doesn’t matter now. Adelaide needs us,” Freddy says, but he won’t look at me.
“The key is at the castle,” I say, staring at them all. I just hope they can forgive me if anything happens to her. I know I couldn’t forgive myself.
“It’s not your fault,” Jax whispers, sliding an arm around my waist as I stare at Nath, Mich and Freddy as they talk between themselves.
“If she dies, it will be my fault.”
