    Chapter One

    It began at a wedding…

    Eilinora had watched him come toward her, and her skin heated at the slow glide of his limbs. She could hear her mother and sister whispering.

    That’s Terric the Black. Why is he coming over here?

    Elly smiled nervously as he got closer. Because I can’t avoid him anymore.

    Elly, you have met him? Talinora stared at her with wide eyes.

    No. I haven’t met him. Not in this lifetime anyway. That is what is about to happen.

    He paused near their table. Ladies, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Terric.

    Elly looked up into his face. He was speaking to them all but looking directly in her direction.

    Andora smiled at him and made the introductions. I am Andora Dyanhart, and these are my daughters, Talinora and Eilinora. We are of the air elemental clan.

    As he straightened, there was a tearing sound and his formal suit split down the back to allow his wings to emerge.

    Andora answered. We are from the bride’s side. My cousin married into the Matriarch’s line a few decades ago.

    Elly could feel heat coming off Terric’s body. She saw him smiling and noticed him looking down at her black and silver gown. Damn. She had worn his colours. His eyes were glowing silver as she had that thought.

    She blushed furiously and her skin heated perceptibly, she brushed at her skirt.

    Lady Eilinora, would you favour me with a dance?

    She cleared her throat. As my mother has said, sir, I am not prone to dancing.

    She felt a magical jab to her back, and she winced. I mean to say, I would be happy to, sir.

    Terric, please. Sir was the last knight I consumed. He smiled winningly and got to his feet, his hand extended to her.

    She skimmed her
