The truth is now known but Rhyland didn't care. He got what he needed. Emery's location. He can finally save the child and Aubrey will finally be at ease. Aubrey had not been able to get a good night's sleep ever since she had learned of her brother's abduction. She often had nightmares about the torture and slaughter from all the history she had read about the faeries.
Now he can finally assuage her fears.
'I miss her, my angel. I hope she had been eating well and not skipping her meals.' Aubrey had stayed in the UK while Rhyland and Nikolai went to the US in search of the special ops team that had perpetrated the kidnapping.
Aubrey had initially wanted to go with them but had opted to stay behind for fear of dragging them down.
