CHAPTER 41

Riley

The fairy village is nothing short of frightening.

The village is built beside the river. Huge buildings surround me, and every tree is reaching up for the skies. Everyone wears tropical clothing or none, and I'm still not used to the wings covering every person's back.

Or the tattoos...

Or the weird fruits everyone is eating...

But most of all, I'm shaking in my skin because every fairy is enormous, and I can't relax. I want to return to our world as quickly as possible. Even enemy werewolves are easier to stomach than fairies.

Every habitant smells like danger and bloodthirst. I don't feel that safe with everyone being so curious about me, so I've taken the shape of a wolf to growl at anyone looking too interested.

My mate chuckles when I growl at a passerby. "Take it easy, Riley... No one is going to get you."
