CHAPTER 38

“What did your father say when he found out that I lied?” I asked.

“I never told him.” Stefan says.

“Why the hell not?” I asked shocked.

“Because he doesn’t need to know. After all, he doesn’t need to control every aspect of the fae Kingdom, doesn’t he?” Stefan asked. And I looked at him really sceptically. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Was he really going to keep this from his father.

“How did you know to lie about that to our fathers?” He asked.

“Because I overheard you and him. The first night that I was here. Your father wants you to marry me so that he won’t be banished for something he had done in the past that he doesn’t want Vincent to know about.” I explained.

“Wow. You know a lot more than I thought.” He says sitting at the edge of my bed.

“I might be a lot of things, but I’m not an idiot.” I say leaning against the wall. Acting like him being here didn’t faze me at all. And I was really trying to make sure that he could see that. I was acting as cool and calm as I possibly could.

“I’m not going to tell my father or yours about this.” He says.

“Why not? Don’t you want to be furture King of this realm?” I asked.

“I told my father that I didn’t want to drag you into it at all. That’s all there was too it. I couldn’t do that to you.” He says looking a lot more sincere then I expected. But I didn’t know if I could trust that. His father was a really good liar. That might have been a trait that he passed on to his son.

“He’s telling the truth.” Someone else said from across the room. So, I quickly turned and Layla was standing in the shadows.

“How do you know that I can trust him?”

I asked.

“Because he’s one of us. He just can’t let his father know. And he will help you gain your powers.” She says. 1

“And what if Vincent or Eric finds out?” I asked looking between the two of them.

“I’ve been playing double agent for a while. Having you here is just going to make it a hell of a lot easier.” Stefan says.
