BROKEN WINGS • ACOTAR

Chapter 12

Rhys was extremely confused. Calix had already made so much progress with Feyre and they had only just met! The two were already best friends.

But Calix was going to go back to Velaris for a while to see Cassian. He hoped that one day, he would have the type of love that Calix and Cassian shared. And he hoped that they stayed together forever.

"Feyre, I will see you soon, okay? If you ever need me ask Rhysie, I'll be a winnow away!"

"Wait, where are you going?" Feyre frowned.

"I'm going to see my boyfriend. I'm not gonna leave you with an overgrown bat, don't worry." Calix replied.

"Overgrown bat? Really? Your boyfriend is an overgrown bat, what would he say if he heard you call him that?" Rhys asked.

Calix grinned, "He wouldn't care, he'd just make out with me."

Rhys grumbled, knowing that it was true.

"Do. . . Do you love him?" Feyre asked.

Calix' eyes softened, "Yes. I think I do."

Rhys felt over the moon. He wasn't even Calix' lover but he felt so happy! His brother was finally getting the love he deserved.

Calix pulled Feyre into a hug and they shared whispered goodbyes. Feyre had told Calix that she couldn't read and the boy had immediately brought her things to help. Feyre could read at least a paragraph without faltering by now.

The moment Feyre stepped into the Spring Court, Tamlin was interrogating her about the Night Court.

Feyre gave as little information as possible, not wanting to hurt her friend. Tamlin noticed.

"Why aren't you telling me everything? What are you hiding?" He asked.

"I made a friend." Feyre whispered.

"A friend? The Night Court is not your friend." Tamlin scoffed.

"He's different! He-" Feyre protested.

"Oh, so you cheating on me now? After everything I've done for you!" Tamlin began.

Feyre slammed her hands down on the table, "I am not cheating! Just because I have friends, which I know is something difficult for you to understand seeing as the only person that's comes close to it is a slippery fox, doesn't mean I'm f***ing cheating on you!"

"Fe-"

"No! That boy is the only person who I can trust at this point! And all you can think about is how these things affect you. It's always about you! Tamlin this, Tamlin that! What about me? What about Lucien? What about every single other f***ing person?"

Feyre stormed into her room, leaving burning marks in the table. She hoped that Calix was okay. If he died, she didn't know what she would do. She didn't regret anything that she said to Tamlin and she knew that Calix would be proud of her. She was proud of herself.

As soon as Calix' feet touched the ground, he was pulled into a fierce kiss.

"Ew!" Mor said.

Azriel snorted at her reaction and pulled her away, "Let's leave them to it."

Amren stuck up her nose at the obvious display of affection although secretly she was happy for them.

Cassian had Calix pressed against the wall and soon, they were in his bedroom.

Let's just say, they were both tired after that.
