He chuckled as he said, “You should see your eyes.”

I looked around the room for a mirror but anything that was once on the walls was burnt and scattered across the floor. I saw a faint glimmer and ran over to find a broken mirror.

I wiped off the soot and what I saw in the mirror, I didn’t recognize.

The piece of hair that Sebastian had shown me was only part of the flowing waves that I now had. My hair was not only lighter, but it was fuller. But the part that left me speechless was my eyes.

Golden eyes that seemed to be glowing were looking back at me.

I dropped the mirror and looked back at him to see the pure awe on his face.

Awe of me.

I faltered for a moment because when I looked at him, nothing else seemed to matter.

“What am I?” I finally asked.

He scrunched his eyebrows. I’m not sure whether he wasn’t sure himself or he just didn’t want to say, but he said, “You need to talk to your father.”

Chapter 37

Violet

We stayed in Sebastian’s ruined room until midday the next day. We couldn’t keep our hands off of each other long enough to look at a clock and the only reason we found out the time was because Adar talked to him through their bond.

Sebastian didn’t tell me what he said, but it was enough for him to take me to my room where he left me to meet Adar.

Before he left, he placed a glamour on me so no one would notice anything different. My eyes were brown and my hair dirty blonde again. Only someone with the ability to see glamours would notice, and Sebastian assured me that he was the only one in his castle with that ability. He didn’t want anyone to find out about my powers until we talked to my father.

He seemed uneasy about the entire situation, like he knew more than he was telling me, or suspected something at least, but he wanted to hear what my father had to say first.

This may have been something I should have talked about with my father myself, but I didn’t want to be away from Sebastian more than I had to be.

Along with hiding my powers, he thought it would be best to hide what our relationship had become. Being his mate put a target on my back that he wasn’t prepared to face yet.

So I could only see him in secret, at least until he was back to full power. I guess all the years of practice with Calum had turned out to be useful.

I didn’t want to do it because it seemed like I was being put in the same position I had always been in, but I knew he was right.

At least until he was back to full power.

I was not sure of the last time I had attended dinner. Days? Weeks? But this may have been the first time I actually wanted to go.

It had only been a few hours since I saw Sebastian, but I needed to see him. It would take every bit of self-control I possessed not to jump into his arms when I saw him, though. I also wanted to see Bronwen. I had pushed her away recently, but now that everything seemed so much clearer in my mind, I realized how much I missed my friend.

I wanted to tell her everything that happened. Everything about me and Sebastian. But that would have to wait until we had a moment alone.

I walked through the doors of the dining room feeling more confident than I ever had. Even if no one knew, I was mated to the Sovereign of the Night Realm. I was no longer less than everyone else in the room.

Sebastian, Bronwen, and Adar were the only ones sitting around the table when I came in, and while my eyes wentstraight to Sebastian, my look was cut short when Bronwen jumped up and screamed when she saw me.

I looked at her with a mix of shock and confusion on my face. Her eyes were wide, and she was grinning from ear to ear. I glanced at Adar to see he was rubbing his head.

“You told them?” I asked, shooting daggers at Sebastian.

“Ye—”
