A Court Of Love And Family

Chapter 8

Rhys POV

I slowly regain conciousness as I reach up to move my hair out of my eyes I realize that my wrists are shackled to the floor. Upon closer inspection I see that the chains are made of fae bane. Shit. I have to get back to Feyre. I can not let that bastard hurt her again. I can only hope that dumb fuck wasn't smart enough to capture the rest of my family along with me.

"SHIT!" I here Mors voice ring out from somewhere.

"Mor?" I call out.

"Yeah?"

"Do you know if anyone else is here?"

"I'm here!" Elaine calls.

"Fucking spring bastard." Nesta says.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" Cassian bellows.

"We got captured that's what happened you illiterate bat!" Azriel replies.

"Ok. So that leaves Feyre, Amren and Varian unaccounted for. I swear if that trash bag goes anywhere near Feyre I'll-"

"Calm your shit Rhys. Faebane doesn't affect shadows remember? As soon as I woke up I was recieving reports that Amren and Varian fought of Tamlin alongside some of Tarquins soldiers and Feyre is currently safe in Velaris."

"Thank the cauldron." I relax some at Azriels words but I'm still incredibly worried about my mate.

"I'm happy Feyre's safe and all but how the hell are we gonna get out of here?" Cassian shouts.

"Tarquins got scouts searching." Az reports.

"Anything else we need to know?" I ask.

"Yes. Feyre went to spring to try to find us. Instead she found that Tamlin is preparing for war. She immediately went back to summer where Amren had told her to go and is waiting on a soldier captured by 3 of Tarquins men to wake up to see what he knows."

"Why doesn't she just look in his mind?"

"Kid was planning on leaving Tamlins forces anyway so she decided to give him a chance to explain himself. "

"Ok. Next question: what the fuck was Feyre thinking when she came into spring alone?"

"She wasn't thinking."

"Of course she wasn't. And you're certain she's safe?"

"110%"

~Feyre POV~

When I wake up I see a note on Rhys' pillow that simply said "he's awake. -Tarquin" it wasnt what I was hoping to find when I woke up but it could still be helpful so I winnow to summer to interrogate the spring soldier.

"Let me make one thing very clear, I could've easily seen Tamlins plans and shattered your mind before you even knew what was happening, however I saw that you were planning on leaving Tamlins army so I'm giving you a chance to explain yourself. You will not ask questions, you will only answer mine, truthfully. Is that clear?" I say storming in to the room we had put the soldier in.

"Yes my lady."

"Good. First things first, what's your name?"

"Its Wrigend, but most people call me Riggy."

"Riggy. Is Tamlin preparing for war?"

"Yes. His plan was to take your family captive in an attempt to get you back and be prepared for war when word spread through Prythian. Though I'm guessing by my presence here the first part of his plan failed."

"He failed to capture Amren and Varian, the rest of my family was captured. Which brings me to my next question. Do you have any idea where my family is being held?"
