George. George, also a member of the same pack, told Kyle that Drew had confessed to dating someone new, but that he’d been hesitant to say anything else about her. George felt that he was definitely hiding something, and seemed on edge lately, acting as if he was in some kind of danger. Drew had also mentioned picking her up at the high school. Sinc hacked into the school’s data base and found that one teacher and three students had enrolled in the school within one week of Brina's departure from Faerie. It seemed like a good place to start.
Rob showed up just as Garrett joined us in the kitchen. I greeted him with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, then served him pasta while Ethan cleared away everyone’s empty dishes. While Rob ate, Garrett and I were bombarded with questions about the fae and Faerie and the Midsummer Solstice Ceremony. We answered their questions as well as we could without going into too much detail. Caelen and Liam made it clear that their world was kept secret for a reason and we shouldn’t share too much information. However, Garrett and I both had decided that we needed to tell them about Kennet. If he was after me, then one of them could get hurt, so they deserved to know all the facts.
Garrett gave my hand a squeez e for support as I began to recite my list of unpleasant encounters with Lord Kennet. I told them how he’d propositioned me after the duel, how he’d assumed I’d accept his offer at the fae meeting and that he was shocked and angry when I hadn’t. I described his attack at the Midsummer Ceremony, but didn't bother to mention my dream. Their angry expressions made me grateful to have friends who would always have my back, even against a fae lord. Samson ambled over to lick my hand and curl up by my feet, his doggy version of support.
“Well, I’ve got two words for that asshole, “Ky le spoke up. “Cold Iron, baby.”
“That was three words”, Sinc spoke without thinking and then smiled at Kyle sheepishly. They’d been trying to lay off each other and not argue so much. “Sorry. Habit.”
“Forget it, Sinclair ”, he grinned. She hated it when he used her full name. He spoke to me.“I have plenty of iron and steel weapons, so you can strap one on before school and you’re good to go.”
Garrett said, “It's more complicated than that. He’s a Fae Lord, which means he's over 3,000 years old and a half brother of the other Elders. Iron may not harm him. Plus Jackie and I are allies of the Cascade Sidhe. We can’t use iron against any fae unless it’s proved beyond a doubt that he's trying to kill us. Even then it could mean trouble.”
“That doesn’t stop me from killing him with iron. I’m sure that Kyle can come up with something strong enough.” Ethan’s voice was tense. Ever since we’d met on the island and trained with Rob, Ethan had been extremely protective toward me. He was my best friend and I loved him like a big brother, although he was barely a year older than me. I glanced Sinc's way and saw her smiling at him. She probably thought his protective streak toward me was sweet.
Rob said, “Ethan, you can’t kill him because you represent the team. The team has to uphold any alliances that Garrett has in place." He glanced at Kyle. "I suggest you come up with something that won't kill him but would distract him long enough so she can get away. A defensive device made of iron. Then after the attack we could call Lord Caelen to take care of him.”
“That sounds perfect, but what?” I turned to look at Kyle who was nodding his head.
“I’m actually working on something right now. It’s not iron, it’s silver, but I can develop an iron version. I should have it ready in two days for a test.”
“I won’t carry it in the house around Liam.” Liam would be very sensitive to any iron weapon, even a defensive one.
Garrett turned to me. “I’ll have my friend ward the house and the yard against all fae except the Elders and their
