And because of her strong fae gifts, she’d be able to help as well.

Charlotte lay her head down on Willem’s shoulder, hugging him. “I could stay here forever.”

He squeezed her shoulder. “Good, because I plan to keep you here at least that long.”

As the sun rose, her eyes finally closed and she fell into a dreamless, undisturbed sleep. Hours later, however, her fae vibration woke her up.

Blinking her eyes open, she glanced around and put a hand to her chest. Fear rippled through her because she didn’t recognize what she was looking at. She sat up, staring at a heavily bruised child, cowering in the corner, but it wasn’t Willem’s room.

It took her a moment to realize she was having another vision. Slowly, she panned back and saw a drunken fae woman weaving in the doorway, a beer bottle dangling from her fingers.

Willem reached for her, rubbing her back. “What is it, Charlotte?”

She wanted to look at him, but she was afraid to lose the vision. Instead, she panned back farther and farther until she could see the outside of the house, the address and finally the street.

At last releasing the vision, she turned to him. “Time to go to work.”

“What? A vision?” He glanced toward the shuttered windows. “It’s still light out.”

She nodded. “I know. But you have trolls on your team who can deal with this, right?”

His lips twisted. “So this is to be my new life?” Then he smiled.

She dipped down and kissed him. “I’ll spend every non-working hour making it worth your while, vampire.”

His smile softened and a gentle expression entered his eye. “You already have.”
