As he faces the very real threat of becoming a slave to the bounty’s owner, his brother Jim uses his changeling abilities more and more trying to save him.<br><br>Every changeling throughout history turns evil once their powers manifest, meaning time may be running out for both of them as Jim nears True Awakening. Fae hunter and incubus Sasha Kelly is prophesized to save Nathan, but while Nathan has embraced his feelings for the other man, he fears their time together will be cut short -- either from his impending fate ... or Jim’s.

Changeling

He was on his way to room #8 when he caught sight of Sasha rushing out of #9. Nathan hurried over, and the incubus gripped his arms tightly upon seeing him, as if he needed something, someoneto hold onto. There was a very familiar grief painting Sasha’s features.

“I…I’m okay. I’m okay,” Sasha said. He smiled big and obviously forced. “Not my best…year.”

At that realization, Nathan felt something harden in his gut. That would have been about the time Sasha ran away from home. Right around the time…he killed that girl.
