It’s my turn to fight a smile. “Yes, that is true.”

He crosses his arms over his impressive chest, pulling himself up to his full height. “Is it true that you’re a queen of Faery?”

“Yes,” I say, unable to fight the smile anymore. “I’m still nonplussed by that truth, but I can’t deny it anymore.”

Laughter ripples softly around the room.

“Is it true that Luca and I are your consorts?”

“And Rhodes,” Luca barks.

Law rolls his eyes. “And the human.”

“Yes, it’s true. Although I’m going to kick you out of the harem if you don’t start being nicer to Rhodes.”

Now the laughter is open and infectious but it doesn’t sound cruel or mocking.

Yet.

“Finally, is it true that we fought at your side at Jedburgh Abbey to defeat the Thunderer and his army of barghests, that Rhodes died there, and you and my brother brought him back from the Mother?”

I nod. “Horrifyingly, all true.”

The low noise that runs through the room is impressed instead of amused.

“Ah, one more question,” Law says.

I glare at him. “Really? We’ve been here for almost an hour and you’re not even a student here anymore.”

Law grins, showing the tips of his sharp teeth. “But you’re a consummate teacher. One more question. Is it true that you love us too much to make us your dirty secret?”

I blink mistily at him. Damn Cait. “Yes, that’s true.”

A chorus of “awws” runs through the room.

I wipe my eyes. “Okay, that’s more than enough. Class dismissed.”

Thirty-two hands go up.

Chapter 24

Magna Cum

LUCA

Itoss Law’s transcript onto the table between my parents. “Seriously?”

Law stretches on the couch beside Mom, lacing his hands together behind his head.

Smug asshole.

“They gave you magna cum?”

“Gave me?” He scoffs. “I earned that.”

Checking that my new wards are firmly in place, I collapse onto the couch next to Dad, letting my tongue loll out of the side of my mouth.

Law kicks me under the table.
