“Aunt Glory, Trevor wants to come and apologize to you. He will bow down to you and grovel for your forgiveness.” I was lying, of course, but I thought I would play to the scenario that Hibiscus had created.
“I don’t want to forgive him.” She spat the words at me. “He is scum.”
“Then tell him that when he comes to see you.” I encouraged her. “Wait until he has said his peace and then tell him. Will you allow that?” I asked her with as calm of a voice as I could manage.
“I will allow it.” She turned her head up and to the side like she was scoffing at us but still agreed.
“That is good.” I nodded at Trevor to encourage him onward.
As Trevor walked toward her, I kept my shield for him in place. I didn’t need to have it hanging over my head if I dropped it too soon and she killed my friend and her lover. Thankfully, she didn’t even look at him while he walked to her. I had no doubt in my mind that she knew where he was at all times though, she only needed to sense him with magic.
The moment that Trevor was right in front of Aunt Glory, I dropped the shield.
“Gloriana?” He said her name, causing her to turn and look at him with a look of disdain. He didn’t even let her finish turning though, he put one hand around her waist and the other on the back of her head and pulled her against him so quick that he cut off her protest before she could even voice it.
“Sto-! Mmph.” The sound of him muffling her words as he pressed his lips to hers was the last thing that we heard before the kiss truly got underway.
At first, I could see Aunt Glory fighting against Trevor. She was struggling to push him away from her and break the kiss. However, after a few moments she stopped pushing him and started to pull him closer.
As the kiss went on and on there was a light that could be seen building up between them. A bright, white light that looked pure and clean. By the time that Trevor had lowered his hand low enough so that he could cup his mate’s slender bottom and lift her up against his chest the light was blindingly bright.
With that new closeness between Trevor and Aunt Glory, with her arms thrown around his neck as he held her in his arms, the light seemed to explode. The brilliance of that light left me reeling for a moment, unable to see as my eyes readjusted. But the kiss seemed to be over after the explosion.
“Gloriana, my love.” Trevor smiled at her and I could see small little tears of joy streaming down his cheeks.
“Trevor?” Aunt Glory called her mate’s name as she looked him in the eyes. “What is going on?”
Well, it appears that the spell is indeed broken, however Aunt Glory doesn’t seem to remember what had happened at all.. Oh boy, this is going to be good.

“Aunt Glory, when was the last time that you have seen Hibiscus?” I got straight to the important question before I told her what was going on.
“Why? What does she have to do with anything?” She was looking at me with a confused expression as Trevor set her back on the floor.
“Gloriana, my love, you were under a spell just now. You thought that we were traitors. You attacked me.” Trevor looked her in the eyes as he spoke, telling her the hard truth before anything else was said.
“What? No, that’s not possible. Please tell me that this is some sort of joke. Please Trevor. This is not funny at all.”
“It is not meant to be funny, Aunt Glory. He is telling you the truth. You weren’t the only one bespelled either. Your guards were as well. There were two dozen men in the front of the castle that tried to attack us when we came in through the doors.”
“How? How did this happen? How is this even possible?” Aunt Glory looked at me with a disbelieving look. “Even if Hibiscus had something to do with this, I haven’t seen her since she went to her place for her protection. She has not left her house. The guards have told me so.”
“Oh, she left her house. Of that I am certain.” I was pissed off right now. I was tired of Aunt Glory defending this psychopath.
“How do you know? What makes you so certain?”
“Because she tried to kill us.” I heard Sterling’s voice as he and Alloy made their way to the front of the group. They had stayed back out of fear when I broke into the room, but it was safe now, so they were coming up.
“Sterling?” She gasped when she saw the large blood slash across the front of his shirt. “What has happened to you? And you, Alloy. You both look as if you have been hurt so badly.”
“We had been.” Alloy confirmed. “My wounds were not poisoned though. Only Sterling’s were. He nearly died. He would have, if it wasn’t for Queen Riviana.”
“That’s my niece, saving the day again.” She gave me a sweet look as she responded to Alloy’s words.
“Now is not the time for praise. We need to get to the bottom of this whole situation, and fast.” I could feel my heart racing as a thought occurred to me. “Where is Athair m貌r?” Fear was settling over me again as I realized that we still didn’t know if he was safe.
“I..I..I don’t know.” Aunt Glory looked as if she couldn’t think properly. “Riviana, I think I am starting to feel that worry that you’ve been experiencing for days now.” She grimaced. “I am starting to get a bad feeling and it is settling on thoughts about my best friend. I am still hoping that you are wrong, but I don’t know if that is going to end up being the case.”
“I think that we should send someone to check on Athair m貌r. We need to send someone to his quarters. I don’t think that I will rest easy until I know that he is safe.”
“I agree.” Joaquin nodded at my words. “We need to make sure that he is not in any danger.”
“Yes, please, send someone to make sure that my brother is safe. I won’t feel better until then.”
“I will go along with some knights.” Landon nodded and ran from the room. He didn’t even wait for confirmation.
I was glad that someone was taking care of that for me. It would give me a slight amount of peace to know that someone was on their way to check on him. But I would still feel uneasy until Landon returned. For the time being, it was time for an explanation.
“Well, since you are more open to hearing things now, Aunt Glory, let me tell you all that has happened lately.”
