Chapter Six

I am sitting next to Lord Gordon on his massive dining table. In front of me, is a feast of various food and I wonder if it is just us two consuming it.

"Is it just the two of us?" I ask looking around the room in order to avoid his eyes,his eyes are so captivating and looks like they are boring into my soul. He stifles a laugh and reach across placing his hand on mine. I immediately feel the shiver of his touch. It is like the giddy feeling I got when I sprouted out my wings for the first time.

"just eat and be calm" he says in his husky yet calm voice that makes me swoon. I think I am beginning to lose my brain. I nod and begin to eat savouring the taste at every bite and Lord Gordon watched in amusement.

"So, where do you come from?" He asks.

"From this town of course"

"A mere human from this town can't defeat my warriors and you did just that" he points out and I stop in between bites.

"So I ask again, where are you from?" I guess he really wants to know.

"I am not from here, I am from the other world, I mean the Fae kingdom" Did I just say I am a faerie? I shouldn't have said that. Our secret is always meant to be kept.

"I thought as much" he says going into a deep thought his eyes twinkling as the light shines into them.

I toss around on the bed. Even though it is soft and comfy, I still feel uncomfortable. I think it is because I can feel strong magic seeping through the house and it is scaring me to some extent because it only means, Lord Gordon is no human and I wonder who he is or for the utmost part, what is he?. I stand from the bed and walk out of the room pacing around and trying to control my body from moving towards his room. Step after step, I make my way out of the room and there is no going back. I hear people talking in hushed tone and I follow the voices until I arrive at a closed door. I lean into the side of the door but can't tell what they are discussing. I open the door slightly and being thankful it doesn't make a creaking noise. I look inside and quickly sights Gordon at the head of a table with those warlocks from earlier. It looks like he is ordering them to do something. Ordinarily, his stance makes him look more superior to them so I am not surprised. I turn around to head back to the room but instead I notice myself falling. Please tell me the door didn't hook my dress! but it is too late, I am so going to fall and they are going to find out I was spying on them. I feel mortified. A hand is suddenly on my back and I know the smell. it's Gordon's musky scent mixed with the smell of forest flowers.

"Curiosity always kills the cat" he says and butterflies feels my stomach not from being caught but him being up close to me as his breath fans over my face.

"I am not a cat, I am a Fae" I rush and say almost stuttering.

"I remember you told me that. A light or a dark fae?" he asks and leads me outside the room blocking my view of the room. I know the only reason he is walking with me is just to draw my attention away from what was going on in the room.

"Both" why am I answering all his questions?.

"How is that possible?" And before I can stop myself,my mouth is opening again "My father is a light Fae and my mother is a dark fae" he stops in front of a door "How is that possible?I know for certain that those two worlds are no longer in good terms and would do anything to kill each other" how is it possible that he knows so much about the faes,besides he looks inhumanely good-looking.

"They once lived peacefully a long time ago but sometimes about eighteen years ago shortly after I was born,the war started and even after the dissolution, things never remained the same" I think I may have been served a truth weed earlier but even at that it actually feels good talking to him. We step into a large room I assume to be his room. My heart picks up and starts to race, why am I in his room? Is he trying to propose something? I have never been with a man before especially not one that's good looking like him.

"Take a sit Fae"

"I have a name"

"you do? I didn't know that" That's clearly a lie. He called me by my name when we first met, or maybe I only imagined that happening.

"You do know my name. You called me that earlier"

"I did?" he asks his face showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Yeah you did" I know I sound really desperate now but it is going to be so sad if at the end of the day, him saying my name was only an imagination.

"You are beautiful Olette" He says gently tucking my hair behind my ear. And my cheeks turns red and I don't know if I am blushing because he knows my name or because he said I was beautiful or his little gesture of tucking my hair. I am a lost cause and I know it's just only one day, but I am in love. Now I understand what Micah was saying yesterday.

"I know it is late, but would you care for some tea" he hands me a tea filled cup.

"Thank you. I think after this I will be able to sleep" I am so not going back home again even though I am weak and need to go back to heal faster but right now,I don't care. I finally found my heart desire even if he is the one tormenting Lucian's people.
