He frowned because he was trying to sort through what that meant. The only time that had happened...
"I remember going to sleep with you. Then I was back in our world. I got to meet you and we moved in together. We got all our babies and we were so happy together. It was all perfect," he started, trying to sort through all the memories and match it up to what Will had seemed to have gone through. Not an easy task.
"I was at work and you were coming home from it. You sensed something was...wrong. You went out to the park and the Unseelie Queen found you demanding to know where I was. The two of you fought because you wouldn't let her get close to me. From a distance I saw the magic and ran over just in time to see her hurt you badly with cold magic. When she saw me she gave me the coldest smile I've ever seen and held out her arms to me..."
Riley shuddered as his gaze seemed to go distant a moment while he remembered it all. "She said I was her son and she shouldn't have let me go. She said that the Fae of Winter belonged with her as her heir and she reached for me and...I snapped. Power I've never known I had came out of me and I protected you in a bubble of warmth then everything went to ice. She screamed my name, my True Name, to try to calm me but apparently my True Body formed and I attacked her. I actually hurt her really, really badly and she had to retreat."
Tears formed and fell down his face as he cupped Will's cheeks, thumbs rubbing under his eyes. "I got you better and you told me that the name she screamed, Llyr, is my True Name and the form I took was my True Body. But more than that you were blinded. I've been trying so hard to fix your eyes again but the cold she forced into you hasn't left your eyes. They're so silver now..."
He knew he'd spilled out so much but he'd needed to say it. And he let out a laugh as more tears fell. "I love you so much. I couldn't let her kill you. I'm not going to let anyone hurt you like that ever again."
