บท 35: Chapter 35: Poison Arrow

Darrius

I broke the arrow shaft over my knee, muttering curses under my breath. Simeon was too soft. Believing everything was happy and peaceful now that we found Avery. I stomped down the hallway and a brownie shuffled out of my way with his eyes huge as I passed him. 

But Simeon never heard the screams every single night like I did growing up. Nor the nightmares that came out during the day even. He'd lived a sheltered life with his kingdom bordered up to the human one and as far as a Fae could get from the shattered realms. 

We had a duty to protect Avery. Our queen and our love. I shook my head. Ne'er thought I'd love anyone in this crazy world, but she took us all by surprise. The fact she had been a Fae killer still made many uneasy.

Shit. Sometimes I wondered if she had lost her senses about the Fae and now she wanted to talk peace with the Unseelie? Could she not see how dangerous they were? 

The woman was out of her mind.
