Did I still love him?
Yes. The truth of who he was didn’t alter that.
Then what was I going to do about this?
How was I going to react to my boyfriend being the freaking emperor of the entire Titan empire?
The most powerful figure in the entire galaxy?
Just putting it like that tore a laugh from my throat, fringed heavily with madness.
And yes, perhaps maybe I had gone a little bit insane.
Had I imagined what I’d seen in the great hall?
Had that scene really happened?
Had I lost my mind somewhere in the forest?
With the rollercoaster of terror and excitement, it was only a natural reaction.
That was it, I decided. I had lost my mind.
Fiath wasn’t the Titan emperor.
He couldn’t be.
The door hissed open and revealed Fiath.
Behind him were his Titan chieftains. They thumped a fist to their chests and left.
Fiath entered the room and the door slid shut behind him.
Suddenly, the room felt tiny.
There was no escape. Nowhere for me to run.
Fiath strode toward me. He immediately fell to his knees before me.
The emperor of the freakin’ Titan empire had fallen to his knees in front of me!
He took my hands in his and kissed them.
“I’m sorry you discovered the truth this way,” he said. “It was not my intention to shock you.”
“So, it’s true?” I gasped. “You are him. The emperor?”
“I am.”
The world twisted again and I felt a little dizzy.
“Why didn’t you tell me this before?” I said in a voice much softer than I intended.
“Would it have helped?” he said. “An emperor is nothing without his empire. It couldn’t have helped us but it could have hindered us. It could have made us much bigger targets. The Changelings would never stop hunting me down. They want me killed and they almost succeeded.”
“What does that make me? Am I your concubine?”
Fiath smiled and kissed my lips again.
