Bree’s eyes widened, and in an instant, the glamor disappeared from her skin. Instead, the wild-haired girl with big blue eyes stared up at him, looking far more human than she ever had. Taveon had said she’d once been a member of the mortals before she’d become a Light Fae through the Redcap virus, but it had been impossible to see. But now it was though all of her masks had fallen away. He could see the humanity in her now. And he couldn’t help but find it breathtaking. What was it about this girl that drew him inso?
“Well, if it wasn’t you, then who was it?” sheasked.
“That is what I must find out,” he said. “So that it does not happenagain.”
“Could it have been Ethne? She wasn’t there either. She sent me there, likethis.”
He gave a quick shake of his head. “Ethne would never do such a thing. No, I fear it is worse than that. This attack sounds as though it has come from outside instead ofwithin.”
“But—”
He held up a hand to stop her. There was only so much she needed to hear. “Bree. You have lost your glamor. Let me take you back to yourroom.”
“What?” Bree’s face paled as she glanced down at herself. She held out her hands in front of her, gasping when she spotted her own pale skin rather than Ethne’s silvery hands. “Have I been like this the wholetime?”
“Not really,” he said. “Though you are not very good at wearing glamor. Everything about you has screamed Bree since the moment you walked through that door.” Despite everything within him urging him not to, he stepped up close to Bree and lifted a strand of wavy hair from her shoulder, sliding the silky material between his fingers. “You may have looked as though your bright yellow hair was pulled up high onto your head, but the way you moved, the way your eyes burned, it all shouted that it was truly long and free and flowing.Fierce.”
Bree seemed to hold her breath as she watched Dagen slide his fingers down the length of her hair, and her entire body was tense. “Are you talking about myhair?”
“Your hair and everything else about you. Your soul. What makes you so very much you.” He lifted his lips into a smile. “You are terrible at wearing a glamor because you burn so verybright.”
Bree sucked in a breath, and her eyes shifted from his hand to his eyes. “I should go. Like yousaid.”
He dropped her hair and stepped back, trying to hold down the disappointment. Because what did he have to be disappointed about? Absolutely nothing. The two of them had just been having a conversation and nothing more. It was not as if Bree had ever felt anything toward him butdisdain.
“Of course.” He gave her a tight smile. “And I have an attack to look into, itseems.
