.Chapter 32-2
Come
“You will be the death of me,” he whispered, his eyes locked on mine. “I didn’t know it was possible to become more and more obsessed with you each day.”
I braced my hands on his chest and rode him slowly at first, savoring every inch of him inside me.
But it wasn’t long before the pace picked up, both of us chasing the release we desperately
needed.
“Harder,” I gasped, and he helped me bounce on his c**k with increasing urgency.
“Be a good girl and touch yourself,” he commanded, his voice strained. “I want to see.”
I reached between us to circle my clit, and the added sensation made me arch my back. He took advantage of the position to lean up and take one of my n*****s in his mouth, and that was all it
took to send me over the edge.
I bit my lip to keep from crying out as the orgasm crashed through me, my walls clenching around him. He followed immediately after, his own release triggering his knot as he emptied himself
inside me.
We stayed connected, both breathing hard, until his knot finally deflated. That’s when reality
started to creep back in.
“You should go, Kane,” I whispered reluctantly. “No one can find us together.”
He kissed me hard, then slowly got up and started getting dressed. I watched him walk toward the hidden door, trying to memorize every detail of this moment.
But then he stopped. Turned around. And ran back to me, the bed dipping under his weight as he
pulled me into his arms.
“What are you doing?” I asked, confused but not complaining as he spooned me from behind.
“Let me stay,” he pleaded, his voice muffled against my neck. “No one will know. I’ll stay awake to keep guard. But please, love. Let me hold you just for tonight.”
Oh goddess, the way this man yearned…Everything inside me melted at the vulnerability in his voice. This powerful king, this dangerous man who could command armies, was begging me to let
him hold me.
“Okay,” I whispered, unable to deny him anything when he asked like that.
We lay there in comfortable silence for a while, and I realized that every doubt I’d had, every second thought about trusting him, seemed far away now. I was so in love with him it was absurd.

I wanted Kane. I wanted to be with him, for good. I wanted to be happy, and right now, he was my entire happiness.
“Kane?” I said softly.
“Mmm?”
“That second chance you asked for? I want it. I want to try this, properly this time. When we get out of here, when this is all over… I want to be with you.”
His arms tightened around me, and I could feel him smile against my neck. “Are you sure?”
“Yes,” I mumbled, falling asleep with a smile on my face.
I was fresh out of the shower the next morning, trying to scrub any trace of Kane’s scent from my skin, when someone knocked on my door. I threw on one of the dresses with high collars from the wardrobe to hide my claiming mark and opened it, only to find Kellan standing there with two guards flanking him.
“Come with me,” he said, not bothering with pleasantries.
I could only obey, following him through corridors toward what I assumed was the throne room.
My stomach was churning with anxiety, but I tried to keep my expression neutral.
When we reached our destination, I gasped.
There was a cage in the center of the room, and inside it were Kenzi and Irene.
Kenzi’s eyes went wide when they caught sight of me, worry visible in her expression. She looked
battered but uninjured, her clothes dirty and torn but no obvious wounds on her body.
Irene, though… her eyes were bloodshot and unfocused, her head lolling to one side as if she
couldn’t keep it upright.
“Did you drug her?” I asked Kellan, my voice barely controlled.
“Well, I cannot have a witch freely conscious in my castle, could I? I’m not dumb,” he rolled his eyes.
“What can I do to convince you to let them go?”
“Vow allegiance to me and my kingdom and follow my orders, whichever they are.”
I stared at him, openmouthed. “You want me to betray my pack?”
“It’s that, or watching your beloved ones die one by one.”
I was going to be sick. The thought of betraying my family, my people, made my stomach turn. But

looking at Kenzi and Irene locked in that cage, seeing the fear in Kenzi’s eyes and the drugged
confusion in Irene’s… how could I choose?
“Can I even think about it?” I managed to ask.
Clam
“My father asked me to treat you right, so I will. I have some things to handle today, so I’ll give you the rest of the day to think about your decision. Tomorrow morning, though? The cage and a pyre will wait for you in this room. It will be your choice on which of both options your women end.”
“I understand,” I whispered, letting the fear coursing through my veins show on my face.
“Escort her back to her room,” Kellan said to the guards. “Make sure she stays there, thinking.”
I took one last look at my aunties before being dragged from the room. Kenzi was trying to mouth words to me, probably telling me not to do anything stupid, but I couldn’t make them out.
Back in my room, I immediately grabbed my phone and pulled up the group chat.
I’m making the move tonight. 11 PM. I sent.
My dad’s response was immediate.
We’re getting there by morning.
Reinforcements were close. That was good.
Where will he be? Dash sent, and I quickly typed an answer:
He’ll be having dinner with Kane. I saw Kenzi and Irene today. They look uninjured, but Irene has been drugged. Kenzi was fine. I’ll be there at 11 and wait for the shouts to draw them out. Clean the
servant’s entrance and backyard for me.
Will do. My brother answered.
I set the phone down and tried to calm my racing heart. Tonight, this would all be over. Tonight, I’d get my family back, and we’d get the hell out of this nightmare.
I just had to survive until then.
