Naya cleared her throat. “Yes, sorry, that’s right. I have one sister.”
“Why did you say you had two?”
Naya tried to relax her body but couldn’t stop her shoulders from tensing. “I had another sister. She died when she was seven.”
“Why isn’t she noted in the family records?”
“She is. You must have looked at the succession records. Of course she won’t be in there, but she’s logged on the family tree.”
“What happened to her?”
Naya opened her mouth but found she couldn’t say anything.
“Princess Naya?” Prillu asked, after the silence had stretched too long.
A sound came from Naya’s mouth that she couldn’t control—a half groan, half whimper. She cleared her throat again. “I-I can’t answer that.”
“The zmola has been clear. You will answer all questions?—“
“No.”
Akoro growled again. “You will?—“
Naya stood up, pushing her chair away. “I cannot answer that!” Fury engulfed her, and she found herself shouting. “You can strangle and torture me all you want. I will not answer any more questions about my sister!”
A rough growl erupted from Akoro’s chest and he grabbed her by the throat.
He stared at her, his lips curling into a snarl, but Naya stared back at him, fury collecting tears in her eyes. She didn’t care what he did, she wasn’t going to talk about Lili with Prillu or him or anyone else.
Their glares held, and Naya held her breath as her tears spilled over her lashes. Akoro applied pressure and rubbed her neck with his thumb. She went limp, the fight swooping out of her.
Naya’s eyes widened when she realized what he’d done. “How dare you!” she hissed, clawing his hand away from her. Alphas could settle Omegas by squeezing their necks in just the right way. It made them go limp and submit to the safety of the Alpha, especially when they were distressed. But she wasn’t going to fucking submit to him.
“Prillu, ppi hhe rits,” he growled.
Prillu looked between the two of them for a moment and then hurried out of the room, closing the door behind her.
"I will not talk about Lili," Naya said, forcing the words through her trembling lips as she still tried to get his hand off her neck.
"You will," Akoro warned. "But first I want to know about this man. Have you fucked him?"
Naya frowned up at him. "What man?"
"In this pairing meeting!" Akoro barked, every ounce of his thick muscle contracting. "What happened in the fucking pairing meeting?"
Naya snarled at him. "It's none of your business. It’s between an Omega and her mate."
Akoro’s eyes looked like they could burn the flesh off her skin. "Explain to me this true mate.”
Naya blinked, her face going slack. How could he not know about true mates? Did that mean…
"Tell me!" he bellowed.
"Do you not have Omegas here?"
"We do."
"Then why don't you know about true mates?"
