Fairy tale endings are highly overrated.
At least, that's what I kept telling myself so I wouldn't feel so crappy about my life.
Demetrius returned, no sign of Alison. And the Brotherhood seemed to have gone to ground. I really hoped I did some major damage to Belaisle, both with the freeing of the Sidhe and by taking back the power of the Council. And Mom. He had to have been pouring a ton of energy into my mother.
Sucked to be him.
Not to mention all the magic Ameline stole. I had no doubt Belaisle would simply drain some of his own people to replace it, but it had to rankle.
Rankling was good.
Mind you, I wished the Brotherhood were out in the open instead of scurrying around like cockroaches looking for scraps at 3AM.
Gross.
At least with the Council's approval to act, I could start hunting them down and squashing them. That would be awesome.
I just had to find them first.
