Tamlin Comes For Feyre!!!

So you can probably guess how much I hate Tamlin just by the title ;)... OK so he wasn't so bad in ACOTAR but then he just kinda turned into a messed up person in the next two. But I loved him at the end of the third book when he finally came back to his senses, saving Rhys. So this short bit is just gonna be based around probably when Feyre's left the Spring Court in ACOWAR. And in the point of view as Rhys coz I thought it'd be interesting. Why? Read it and find out :D ;)

(Rhys P.O.V.)

I sighed and held her closer to my chest. A week ago, she wasn't here. A week ago, I was still driving myself crazy at the thought of her being near that...... feral beast. 

A knock at the door. I glanced at Feyre's still sleeping face and then back at the door. "Come in," I said, loud enough for whoever it was to hear but quite enough that it wouldn't wake my mate. Cassian appeared at the door. His eyes slid warily from me to Feyre then back to me again. 

"Can you come?" he whispered, "Azriel's spies have spotted some unusual signs on the border. We don't know for sure what's happened, but it looks like something or someone has broken through the shields."

Broken through? I gave Cassian a slight nod of acknowledgement, and dismissal. He left, closing the door softly behind him. Feyre at last moved in my arms, yawning and making the cutest sound in the world. As she stretched, her arm hit me in the face and her eyes instantly opened. When she saw me she gave me the most adorable little smile. "Oops, sorry," she said, noting her arm in my face. 

"I'm bruised all over, thanks to you." Then returned her smile. 

She flicked my nose, then nestled in closer to me, resting her head against my chest. I gave her a quick cuddle, hating myself for ruining one good morning we had together, and then pulled away. I gently twisted her chin so she was looking at me. "I've got to go, honey. I'm really sorry but Az's spies have detected some abnormality on the border. Looks like someone's broken in through the wards, though I don't know how."

I apologized again at the sadness pooling in her eyes. Not tears. But sadness. She seemed to realize what was written on her face because a second later, she shook her head. "No, it's fine, Rhys. You go if you have to." She turned away from me and made to get out of bed but I grabbed the back of her robe and pulled her to me again. 

"You'll be alright?"

She tried to give me a reassuring smile, which was so unconvincing, but I didn't tell her that. "Of course. I'll go hang out with Mor or Amren or..... You don't worry about me. I'll be just fine." She smiled at me again before giving me a little nudge toward the edge of the bed. "But you certainly can't go like that." She lovingly mussed my hair and then hopped off the bed. 

I reluctantly washed and dressed, all the while my eyes on my mate. A sadness lay in here. Ever since Amarantha, since Hybern. I had tried to do everything I could, but no matter how happy she was, that sadness would be in here for the rest of her life. And in mine too. I only knew it because even after almost five centuries, memories from the War still shook me awake from my sleep. Still haunted me.

An impatient tug in my mind, surely Cassian. I sighed and walked to Feyre. I let her put her arms around my neck and bury her face in my shoulder. "I don't want you to go," she mumbled, the words muffled by my jacket. 

"I know, I know. But it's only for a bit, honey. Once we've sorted it out, I'll come straight back. I promise."

I gently unwound her arms from around my neck and dropped a light kiss onto her lips, before stepping away. I gave her a strained smile, then quickly winnowed out of the room before my senses told me otherwise. 

But when we got to the border, all other thoughts were washed away from my head. Azriel was right. My wards had somehow been meddled with, and worse of all, those were a beast's paw prints on the ground. Heading straight for Velaris.

Tamlin.

I didn't even think before I winnowed, hearing a pained scream down the bond. Feyre.
