.Theyoffered me an amazing mate and then made me too unique for him to ever want to be with me.What a rotten deal, a fucking shit hand I was dealt by the gods. We will take care of this, baby bro.Don t worry, Eeireek s voice was a low growl, hisrage pulsing through the words and pressing against my sensitive psyche.The thought thatanyone would stand up for me, want to kill someone because they d hurt me, made my shreddedsoul feel slightly better. He works at 7-Eleven, Ir-nae s voice sounded from the doorway, and I sniffled loudlyand turned to look at him.I hadn t even heard or noticed him following my brothers and me tomy bedroom, but I was certainly glad that he had.Eeireek was big, he looked to be almost thesize of a barn, but Ir-nae was just as big as my brother and twice as scary.I knew Ir-nae wouldhave absolutely no problem with killing Philip if he had to.I didn t want my mate dead, however, I just wanted him talked to, reasoned with. Vicktor AlexanderI just wanted him to come back to me. Don t kill him guys, I pleaded, even as I continued to cry silently. We won t, Eeian promised over the protests of Eeireek and Ir-nae.They both soundedso disgruntled that I could do nothing but laugh at them.They sounded like children being toldthey could no longer play with their favorite toy. Fine, Eeireek promised with a growl.I looked over at Ir-nae and noticed the guard waslooking at everything but me. Ir-nae? Please.Don t make me command you.I want you to want to keep him alivebecause I ask it, but because he s my mate and because he s the father of my unborn child, Iimplored. You can always find another mate, Your Highness, especially if this unacceptable onedies.I am sure the next one would care for your child as if it were his own, Ir-nae reasoned withme.His emotionless eyes would have scared anyone else, but I knew that the faint glimmer ofgold that flickered every so often in his left eye was a glimmer of caring.He was trained toprotect the royal family and their mates and to Ir-nae, I knew, that meant protecting me bothphysically and emotionally.I couldn t fault the man for caring enough about me to want to dothat.Even if it did annoy the shit out of me. I won t though.Philip is my mate.I saw it before I met him, I confessed.I watched as Eeireek s eyes widened and he gasped before he stood back to his feet,quickly backing away from me slightly.My heart broke as I watched my eldest brother, myfavorite brother, looking at me like I was some type of disgusting alien.I didn t know what tosay, so I looked up at Eeian who just gave me a sympathetic look.I nodded and turned back toEeireek, stretching out my hand to him and beckoning him to come closer. You re a Seer? he breathed quietly and I nodded.Some Fae revered Seers; theyadmired and almost worshipped them.Others, however, saw seers as something akin to piranhaand thought all Seers should be placed in an abandoned part of the kingdom where no one couldhave access to them and they could keep their visions and foreshadowing to themselves.It wasextremely heartbreaking to know that Eeireek was of the latter group. Yes, Eeireek, I admitted quietly, rising from Eeian s lap and walking slowly towardsEeireek.I was happy that he didn t back away from me, but slightly disheartened when he Vicktor Alexanderwatched me warily.Didn t Eeireek know all the rumors about Seers hurting those who disputedtheir visions were nothing but mythology? Didn t he realize that I would never hurt him? Myalready fragile heart, torn and barely functioning after my run-in with Philip, shatteredcompletely and sank to the deepest recesses of my stomach.I swallowed thickly and reached outa hand towards Eeireek. I won t hurt you, Eeireek.You know that, right? I asked him, hearing my voice trembleas I barely restrained myself from crying out in emotional pain.The soul of my unborn childreached out to me, sending soothing energy to my battered soul and I took a shallow breath.Mychild would be, not only a Seer, but a healer as well.I was honored the gods saw fit to bless mein such a way.It also made me miss Philip a whole lot more.Eeireek s body visibly relaxed and he gave me a sheepish smile. Sorry, baby bro.It wassort of an instinctive reaction.I know you would never hurt me.Come here, with that Eeireekjerked me into his arms and kissed the top of my head. Thank you, I whispered brokenly as I felt my heart shakily getting to its feet andattempting to heal itself from all of the blows it had received recently.Suddenly Eeireek spresence in the human realm and his acceptance of my new identity smacked me across the face. What the fuck are you doing here and why aren t you freaked out about me being aguy? I asked as I pushed away from him slightly.Eeireek chuckled. I was wondering how long it was going to take you to ask that. Hesighed deeply before walking over to the window to look out of it. To answer the simplequestion: You ve always been my baby brother, Eeiran.Even when your body was that of a girl,in my head you were always my little brother.You acted just like the rest of them and I alwaysknew that something was off or wrong about you.I just didn t know what
