When the day comes that I kill her, I’ll walk toward her with the same confidence, wearing the same smirk on my lips.
“Tell me about your power, Thayla.”
There’s a knowingness in her tone. I give her nothing—other than a breathy groan that I can’t control.
“Just as stubborn as my boy, I see.” She sighs, sparingmyRiven a glance.
“You don’t have to share everything now. We’ll have time to get to the bottom of it. I’ll have to have a stern talk with Kira about you, though. He told me you were a being of Obliteration and would be a great addition to our dynamic. Yet, I sense plenty ofmein you.”
I want to scream there’s no part of her in me.
That’s obviously not the whole truth, but I’ll be damned if I ever use the piece of Seduction inside of me to do and create the things she has.
She scoffs through her smirk at the glare of disgust I give her.
Her fingernail tips my chin up until I’m staring into the depths of her eyes. She lowers her voice into a breathtaking, sultry purr that has my lashes fluttering.
Gods, this is so, so wrong, but feels so right.
Riven’s song has my lids flying back open.
“I still see the revulsion on your face even though it’s more relaxed now. It’s quite impressive. Like it or not, darling Thayla, you have more of me in you than you realize. I’ll teach you exactly how to use it. I swear I’m not as much of a monster as you’ve already made me out to be in your mind.”
Something…strange shifts in her gaze. It grows distant as though her thoughts are moving faster than her mouth can make words.
I flinch as she steps away from me with a squeal and claps her hands together once.
“I promise to apply the same rules to you as I have to Riven. No one will touch you, but if you crave touch, I won’t let the men have you. The females know how to take care of our needs far better, anyway.
“You will train directly under me. I’ll even have a throne made for you to sit right beneath me. Oh, this is exciting. With all the sons home, my lover will have no choice but to share you with me. This is perfect.”
I don’t have a fucking clue what she’s going on about.
A large part of the plan she made in her mind stays there. The half she shares is absolutely terrifying.
“Oh, or better yet…yes, yes. You will be the perfect gift for him.”
Not only is she evil, she’s crazy as shit.
Who in the hell does she plan to gift me to?
We’ve got to get the fuck out of here.
My head turns toward the battle going on in the middle of her sex chamber. I immediately find my guys fighting together in the center, desperately—I know—trying to make their way to me.
I want to scream at them to starshoot the fuck over here.
A happy little noise comes out of Sabelline, and I decide I don’t want them to do that at all. I don’t want them anywhere near her.
“Come, we need to get you out of that awful attire. No lady of Seduction should be dressed in armor and…outdated accessories. I’ll get you nice and cleaned up. For now, my Kira can’t sense you all in here, so I’ll have time to gather the sons and hide you away until we come to an agreement.”
My eyes widen as she drags me along by her glowing green rope, and panic takes hold. My soul thrashes around in my chest while my power tries to seep from my skin.
“Stop him!”
Both she and I whip our heads toward that command, and the stampede of feet charging our way from the single hall that leaves this platform. My mouth gapes open.
“Let her go!”
