The Rejection Pact

Darkness Follows Light.

*Onix's POV*

As weird as it is to say, I will NEVER get tired of following Aine around carrying her bags as she visits all the little shops in Star Lock.

The look on her face when I put on the matching bracelets she got us absolutely blew my mind.

Baby you bought this for me, you're lucky I didn't super glue this to my skin.

I mean, she may just be shocked that I actually put on this pink bracelet with a little green heart charm on it, but I'm rocking this thing with pride.

Aside from what happened at camp, these last few weeks with her has been nothing but bliss.

Well, camp, and now she's being stolen from me every Saturday for a fucking book club with Rhi, Amity, Cobi, Harlow, and Frazier.

With her being a fairy, am I concerned about Amity? Absolutely not. Believe it or not her becoming friends with Amity has put my mind at ease about the whole vampire infestation. Amity is a doll, and if she can handle Luca being around, all the power to her. Even I can only handle Luca in small doses, and I'm me.

What I don't like however though, is the face she made as we walked out of this crystal shop.

"What's wrong Tink?" I squeezed her hand.

She scrunched her face and looked up at me. "Nothing. I just thought I saw-"

And suddenly, we were covered in darkness.

"What in the hell are you doing with a wolf Aine Celeste."

We both shot around, to a fucking giant standing behind us.

Now, I am 6'2. And this dude, is towering over me.

But with the way he's looking at her I want to rip his damn throat out.

"Who are you exactly?" I nudged her behind me.

"No the question is, who are you?" He glared at me.

"I asked you first." I crossed my arms.

Aine sighed. "You're supposed to be away."

"The darkness follows the light dear Aine. And clearly you're surrounded by it. What are you doing with a wolf!"

"Pause." I held a hand up. "Who is this Tink before I rip his throat out with my teeth for talking to you the way he is."

"Aine I will slaughter him and what the fuck is a Tink."

"Well the war has not changed you." She shook her head and squeezed my hand. "Wolfy, this, is Cathal."

I raised my eyebrows. "Your brother?"

She nodded.

"Her brother. Father would never allow you to walk around with a wolf with our situation so why is he not aware."

She pursed her lips and took a deep breath.

"I am her mate." I nodded.

His eyes narrowed and her looked at her. "We will discuss this later. But we need to get you home, now."

"She's fine with me."

"No she is not. Aine, darkness follows light. And the darkness has followed. Someone has given up your whereabouts."

Her face completely sunk. "No." She shook her head.

"What is going on." I looked between the two of them.

"You didn't tell your mate why you moved to Star Lock?"

"I wasn't allowed to!"

"Well someone tell me now!" I yelled.
