Chapter Twelve

Julius slides into the tavern, the Fae murmuring to each other, their whispers full of talk about Jacob and the human girl. Jamie is in the back, talking quietly to a Fae male. Julius notices with humor, it is the male she slept with to push Jacob away. Mason turns his head and greets the other male with a hint of anger. The Fae male clenches his jaw, knowing who he is looking watching his words. Jamie senses his discomfort and looks up, meeting Julius's eyes. Her orange coloring darkens, losing the usual spark.

"Not what you were expecting, huh?" she growls, flinging Mason's hand off her arm as she prowls closer to him. The other male rolls his eyes and stalks outside, leaving Julius with the pissed off Fae.

"You told me the truth, but held a detail," he snipes back, "that she is married."

Jamie smirks, stopping her movement to him. "Business arrangement. The Chief needs an heir and a male beside her. You know the laws."
