How can that be?” he asks.
Fate? Destiny? Who knows? “I overheard them talking in the
other world. You said that we were the two people in the whole world, born
nearly two thousand years apart, who actually do belong together.”
“No,” he says. “Liv, stop this.” He walks away from me and
adds, “Why are you doing this?”
“Because I want you to know. I know you are hurting over
what happened and I just need you to know how things are.”
“Hurting?” he turns around to face me. “Hurting? You think
this is hurt? She came to me and said she wanted me, I took her into the bedroom
thinking all the time it was you and made love to her as she did to me. It was
perfect and beautiful. Just how I wanted it. Just how I have always wanted it.
I told her I loved her and she said it back. No, I told you that I loved
you and she said it back. Then I find out it wasn’t you at all but some
stranger from a different world!” He is yelling at me now and I let him vent.
“This isn’t hurt, Liv, it feels like someone has a hold of my heart and is
crushing it slowly and I can’t breathe, and you saying all these things is
making it worse. You say we belong together, that we are in love in the other
world. Are we married?” He doesn’t wait for an answer as he continues, “No, of
course we aren’t because you are married to him. I will always lose out to him
because that is the way it has always been and will always be. Here, there, the
other there. Fuck! This is all so fucked up!” He sweeps his arm across the end
table sending everything flying and crashing to the floor. “I touch you and I
want to die. Right there because nothing will ever come close to what I feel
for you and what I feel when I touch you. Tell me why that is, Liv. I want to
hear you say it because the only reason I can come up with, is not possible.”
“Because you are Aelfric’s son and I am Drake’s daughter,” I
say and he closes his eyes and sinks to his knees, shaking his head.
“The Chosen Two,” he says.

“The Chosen Two?” I ask with a frown, sinking to my knees in
front of him.
“You are Drake’s only daughter?” he asks me instead.
I shrug. “I don’t know, Seb. I know very little about this.
Only what Corinne said she suspected and then the little I got from when I was
over there. You must know more?”
He shakes his head. “It’s impossible. You can’t be. You
can’t be Dark Fae. You have no Powers that I can tell and you don’t even look
like them.”
“Look like them?” I ask.
“Corinne told you he was your father?”
“Yes, and then it was confirmed by other you and other
Constantine. And I, she, had these markings on her arms. Like the ones on your
back but with thorns instead of leaves. And she could walk in the sun I think,
like you can.”
“How do you know about the markings on my back?” he asks
suspiciously.
Oh, oops. “I, err, had a sort of vision awhile back. It’s
not important. Tell me more.”
He stares at me, then takes my hands and pulls me up. He
leads me to the sofa and we sit. “How are you Drake’s daughter?” he asks.
“My mother had an affair with him,” I say. “Obviously.”
He looks at me, abashed. “Obviously,” he repeats.
“Seb, I need to know what you know.”
“It is destined in the stars that the first born son of the
Light Fae King would marry the only daughter of the Dark Fae King and their
child would be the future ruler of a united race.”
Again with the uniting. “I take it you are Aelfric’s first
born then?”
“Yep. Only I don’t see how this can possibly come true. I am
a Vampire and so are you. It makes no sense to me.”
“Me either,” I mutter.
“Not to mention that my father banished me. I haven’t been
back to Court in two thousand seven hundred sixty years.”
“That opens up a whole bunch of questions, like are Faeries
immortal? I suppose they must be, and if this supposed starry fate is
inevitable, how or
