another that will meet you at the ball. And when you meet him, he will be able to tell you everything.”
    Sebastian nodded and pulled Ama closer to him. “You said you can tell us some. How much? And will not knowing the rest get her hurt if that prick comes to get her?”
    “No. Nothing will harm her between now and then.” Sebastian found the wording of that statement odd, but before he could question it, Jacob spoke again. “You’re to protect each other, now and forever. Your ability to adapt so well, my lord, is going to serve you well. But in the coming days, you’ll begin to feel the effects of her power on you. You’ll need to make sure that you drink as much as you can. And drink lots of juice if you can. I know that it is difficult at times, but fresh-squeezed is much better. Also, when you start to get more control over your mind, you may want to establish a link to your family, both of you. It will help you later, I think.”
    “I have a link with my family.” Jacob shook his head at him. “What do you mean no? I’ve been able to contact them all my life.”
    “But you’re no longer just a panther.” Jacob touched his wrist and he felt the connection. “You’ll need to be a panther when you first contact them. Khan will need you to contact him sooner rather than later. I can feel his frustration at not being able to contact you. If you’d like, my lord, I can tell him that you’re having difficulties. But you’re all right?”
    Sebastian nodded , feeling a great deal like Alice in Wonderland . He was the rabbit running down the holes, and he was constantly running one step behind. He looked at Ama, who was staring at him strangely. He asked her what was going on.
    “ Your marks are showing up like mine. Not as fancy, but I can see them.” She reached for her purse and dug something out and handed it to him. “Look into this mirror and you can see it.”
    He was marked like her, just not as fancy or as much like she’d said, but he had a feeling that it might change at any minute. He handed her back the mirror, not wanting to think about that right now. Jacob nodded to Ama, and she tightened her grip on Sebastian’s hand.
    “You need to shift , my lady, before too much longer. You’ll need to be fully faerie when you go to the ball, and you will need to have some control.” He looked at him. “You, as well, my lord. The council will expect you both to be able to spread your wings when they ask you to.”
    “Wings?” He felt the walls begin to shift again and lowered his head and closed his eyes. “You said shift. I’m assuming you don’t mean me to shift to a panther.”
    “No , my lord, you’ll need to be able to be faerie when they ask. It will make things go so much smoother.” Like he gave a shit right now, but didn’t tell Jacob. “Sire, you’re doing it again.”
    “Jacob, I like you. I really do, but I need for you to shut the fuck up right now.” Ama giggled and he thought he heard Jacob chuckle. “This room? Was this done this way to bring us down here so they could invite us to this ball thing?”
    “Yes. It will be put back to order before we leave here.” Jacob sat down on one of the lower boxes. “The book is called the Book of Secrets. Your brother has a list of all beings, and you are to have a book that tells the secrets that his list doesn’t cover. Like things that they have done that could get them brought before the courts, things that have been done to others as well. You have the book already. It is among the things that were brought to your home when Amarizi came to you. This book will never be read by anyone but you two.”
    “So we have a hit list of sorts.” Jacob nodded. “Why do I have to take it to the ball if you said no one else can look at it?”
    “You misunderstoo d. I said you will be the only two who can read it. And as the last earth faeries couple, you are the only ones who can read it. There are no more like you
