furrowed. “I wish I knew more about your history. I feel lost almost daily.”
    “You have lots of time to learn all about it… Immortality gives a whole new meaning to forever.”
    She smiled. “It sure does. So , do you know where to find these witches?”
    “Last place they were seen was in the oak forest of the Light lands.”
    “Well, I would say that’s where you need to head then.”
    “All right, let’s get you back to the castle first. Your teeth are starting to chatter.”
    Izzy held on tight to Uriah as his wings pumped against the air , and he found himself in the skies high above the light lands. The wind was frigid against her skin and caused her to bury her face against him. When they landed, he kissed her forehead and smiled down at her.
    “Thank you.”
    She shook her head. “Don’t mention it… I love you, Uriah, and I would do anything for all of you. That’s how family works.” Pulling him into her arms again, she hugged him tightly. “Now go find the answers you seek.”
    Izzy watched Uriah take flight . Something had been freed inside of him… she just hoped the answers he needed would be close and comforting. Large, thermal-covered arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her back against the hard body they belonged to.
    “Why are you watching him like that?” Bain questioned softly.
    She smiled and turned to look into Bain’s beautiful, violet eyes. “Because he’s almost healed.”
    Bain smiled at her before slanting his lips over hers to kiss her deeply. When he finally pulled back, she was thankful he held her so tightly. He still made her weak kneed.
    “Thank you for helping him, my sweet, sweet Izzy .”
    She shook her head and smiled. “I’m glad I could.”
    “I never doubted you would figure it out… Was it as bad as you thought?”
    She bit her lip before answering. “I don’t think his wings had healed at all.”
    Bain growled. “I wish he had come to us.”
    Izzy shrugged. “We all deal in our own ways… Uriah has demons. He’s off to find some answers.”
    Bain smiled. “Thanks to you… You know, I don’t know how I would survive without you. I love you, Iz.”
    “I love you too.” She cupped his cheek. “How’s my boy today?”
    He shrugged. “I’m better now.” He laced their fingers and pulled her towards the castle entrance. “Kyra has been asking for you.”
    “How’s she doing?”
    The poor child had been slapped with loss after loss. Her grandma was gone, supposedly somewhere in the Dark lands licking her wounds, her aunt had died in the battle for the Light, and she had lost her mother to the freeze. She didn’t understand why everyone was lost to her and thus had clung tightly to Izzy and her aunts, Kat and Holly.
    Bain sighed. “She’s a strong kid . She wants to have a tea party… Kale and I aren’t quite the guests she was hoping for.”
    Izzy laughed. She had been the one to buy Kyra the tea set and the dress -up trunk to go with it. She loved the large, embellished hats and had forced them upon all the brothers at one point. But she had a special place for her daddy and her uncle Kale, who were both good sports, but drew the line at dresses and makeup.
    “Well, I think a tea party sounds perfect.”
    Bain nodded. “When you’re finished with the party, you’re all mine.” He growled softly, leaning over to kiss her neck.
    A deep shiver ran down Izzy’s spine . This one had nothing to do with the snow blanketing the world beyond the stone walls of the castle.
     

Chapter Two
     
    Cree watched his brothers through the window of his office. It was really his room now. It had been seven months. The snow still covered the world, and the loss of Rowan was still a constant pain in his heart. He had tried everything. Searched every text and sought every kind of magic he could to get to her back. There were no answers. Still, his heart couldn’t let her go. He was a crap leader at this point. Their people were suffering, and he
