it had been months since you left the Autumn court to fight alongside the night court in the battle against hybern. Months since you’d seen Eris, your lover that no one else knew about. The secret you both had to keep in fear of Beron doing the same to you that they had done to Lucien’s lover. Months since you broke his heart and he broke yours, and now you were tasked with trying to gain his alliance in the war, his alliance to be a spy to his father and pass you information. You weren’t sure he’d show at all, standing in a long black cloak and dark fighting leathers that fit you to a T. Along the outskirts of the autumn courts forest. You were busy thinking and tapping your foot when you heard his slow, calculating footsteps and voice. Appearing out of the shadows with a face of ice despite his fiery nature.

“You’ve become quite the rake, haven’t you?” he murmured as he approached your black figure, dressed in his fine tunics.
