All they did was complain, including his bonded night human, Vanessa McKinny. Thankfully, she had fallen asleep in his arms, and he could enjoy a bit of silence. It wasn’t that he expected much more from her; she was now responsible for dealing with all of the sidhe, and he couldn’t help her much because they were terrified of him. After he’d taken away their magic at the end of her sham of a trial, most of them steered clear of him or ran away at the sight of him. He could walk anywhere around the palace and not have to deal with a single sidhe. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the same for Nessa. They constantly called on her for decisions about one thing or another. From the moment they’d taken over the sidhe, there’d been endless complaining. Nessa turned to Devin with her frustrations since he was the only one she could complain to. He understood … but the silence was nice. He could finally retreat to his own thoughts. Devin was a day human stuck in the night human world. He’d spent his childhood surrounded by night humans who sucked blood to live, but never once had he been the one that others feared.
