mind for weeks.  Although she was unable to conjure, the truemate
spell was different and — just this once — she would be able to conjure a spell
to connect to the one male that was meant to be hers.  Her parents were excited
for her, but also sad to see her leave, as she was their only child.  But
they’d been lucky, growing up together in the same glen, best friends and a
natural fit together.  Jenna hadn’t been that lucky, so she needed a little fae
magic to help her out.
    “Have fun tonight, sweetie,” her mom said as she gave her a
hug.  “I’ll make your favorite breakfast for you tomorrow morning.”
    “Thanks, Mom.”  Jenna kissed her cheek, smiling as her
mother tried to rein in her emotions.
    “Now you two look after each other,” her father said
sternly, but with a hint of a smile.
    “Yes, sir, Mr. Odile,” Kari said, saluting him with a silly
wave of her hand.
    Jenna shook her head.  “I’m not saluting you, Dad, but I do
love you, and I’ll be careful.  I promise.”  She kissed his cheek and said
goodbye, waving at them both as she stepped out onto the front porch of the
small home.
    Kari had arranged for a driver to pick them up in a gorgeous
white carriage draped with pink and blue blossoms.
    “You didn’t have to go to all this trouble,” Jenna said,
taking the driver’s hand as she stepped up into the carriage, which was being
driven by four blue stallions from Jenna’s parents’ private stables.  Their
color was deep royal blue and their manes and tails were varying shades of pale
blue.
    “It’s not every day my best friend turns twenty-five and
then makes plans to leave me.  I want us both to remember this night forever.” 
Kari sat down next to Jenna in the carriage and the driver shut the small
door.  The street lamps were on as the sun fell and dusk turned into night. 
The driver climbed into the front of the carriage and picked up the reins, whistling
sharply to the horses, who neighed and began to trot, pulling the carriage away
from Jenna’s childhood home.
    Their first stop was dinner, where they were catered to by a
dozen staff members as they ate.  Then they were taken to a popular dance club, The Beacon , to dance the night away.  Friends and acquaintances were
waiting for them.  After Kari gave a short speech extolling Jenna’s virtues and
making her blush, the band began to play and they took to the floor to lose
themselves in the music.
    After dancing until her feet hurt, Jenna found a seat at a
table and sat down with a sigh.  Jenna had danced with a dozen he-fairies, but
none that made her belly quiver the way the thought of meeting her truemate did. 
It would have been much easier if she’d found a he-fairy to marry, if any one
of them over the years had been worth her time or her heart, but none had, and
she didn’t regret her decision.
    A voice that made her cringe broke her from her thoughts. 
“Happy birthday, Jen-Jen.”
    Jenna winced at the awful nickname and looked up to see the
one person she’d been assured wasn’t invited:  her ex-boyfriend, Maximus
Eitri.  He leaned on the table with one hand, his white-blond hair braided at
his temples, signifying his acceptance into the fae-army.  He had put on some
muscle since she had seen him last, when she’d dumped him for cheating on her. 
All her friends had thought that Max was perfect for her.  As a member of the warinfae ,
he came from a family of warriors and would go far within the ranks of the army. 
Warinfae could conjure battle spells to give them advantages in fights.  Most
in the fae-army, including Kari’s betrothed, were honorable males, but Max most
certainly was not.  Jenna had watched him cheat during training, using illegal
spells and even permanently maiming those who went against him.  The
relationship was over almost as soon as it had begun, but Max took great
pleasure in humiliating her by reminding her, loudly and publicly, that she had
once taken him
