Bound (A Faery Story 1)

Sophie Oak

Cian and Beck shared a look between them.

“One of us should go and one should stay here with Meg until we

determine if it’s safe,” Beck said.

“The women have gathered at the miller’s house,” Eiric offered.

“Bri’s mother is very distraught. The queen would be very welcome

there.”

“Assign a guard to the house,” Cian ordered.

“At least three,” Beck added.

Beck turned to her, but Meg knew her duty. “Don’t worry about it.

I’ll get dressed and go to Bri’s mother. Niall can take me. You and Ci

go and find out what’s going on.”

Beck sighed and leaned down for a kiss. “Stay safe, wife.”

Meg held Beck’s hand as she reached up to kiss Cian. It felt so

right when the three of them were physically connected. “You two do

the same. Come and get me when you’re done.”

Beck whistled, and Sweeney appeared from the fields where he

tended to run free during the day. As her husbands followed Eiric,

Meg raced into the cottage, promising Niall she would be swift.

Meg quickly changed into soft brown trousers and a linen shirt.

She shoved her boots on and laced up the black vest that completed

the outfit. She had a more formal dress, but she wanted to be prepared

to work if she had to.

Meg grabbed her satchel and draped it across her shoulder so it

hung over her torso and rested against the opposite hip. She made sure

she had the small medicinal kit Flanna had taught her to use. Just as

she was going back out the door, the vampire computer caught her

eye. She picked it up and slipped it into the satchel. It couldn’t hurt. If nothing else, it played movies from the Vampire plane. Perhaps a

movie would entertain the children.

“I’m ready, Niall,” she called out as she walked through the door.
