A stunned silence rippled across the room. My three mates exchanged a look, excluding me.
They weren’t seriously considering it, were they?
My heart sank to my stomach.
My hand lifted in the air and trained on Tianna, ready for another round of attack. My other hand grabbed Rai’s, Iokul’s, and Blaze’s hand in turn. I needed reassurance that they were with me. Only Blaze squeezed my hand back.
“I want to hear the game as well,” Rai said softly.
“We will only play if she can hold up her end of the bargain and remove our masks,” Iokul said.
Tianna laughed softly, her adorned eyelashes fluttering.
A wave of revulsion twisted my stomach, especially when I saw that all three of my mates regarded my immortal enemy with interest they hadn’t shown before. Moments ago, they’d been outraged and had called her cunt.
My bonding magic brushed over them and probed.
No, her spell wasn’t leeching on them. Then why had they changed their attitude all of a sudden? Realization hit me. Tianna promised them something I hadn’t been able to give them—removing the other half of the curse. They’d hidden their bitterness and disappointment that I wasn’t able to help them lift the final curse. They wanted more than anything to be rid of the masks.
But shouldn’t they give me a bit more time? From the moment we’d set foot in the Dragon Realm, we had been in constant crisis, but as soon as I took Elvey with us, I planned on finding a way to remove their curse completely.
But when the opportunity presented itself, it seemed they couldn’t wait.
I’d thought I had them, but perhaps I had been wrong.
Now they wanted to play Tianna’s game. They wanted to see what my parents’ murderer could offer them. My heart bled.
Elvey struggled with his chains, trying to make enough noise, still attempting to stop us.
Tianna snapped her head toward him.
“Hurt him again, and I’ll never take your fucking challenge,” I said.
“Oh, you will,” Tianna said. “But he isn’t my concern at the moment.” She winked at me with a taunting smirk. “Don’t pout, Daisy. The game actually works in your favor. Let me lay out the terms and rules. They’re quite simple.” She licked her lips, her cat-like eyes roving over my three consorts as if they were a delicious dessert. “Right, boys?”
I wanted to stand in front of them and shield them from the sex predator. But it proved to be futile since my giant dragon mates stood out in any crowd.
“I’ll borrow the dragon princes only for a month,” the evil queen continued, her lustful gaze never leaving my mates’ hot bodies. She was fucking their every inch with her eyes.
Rage sizzled in me, yet I contained it. If I provoked her, she would only break Elvey’s bones to punish me.
“Within a month,” Tianna said, “if the dragon princes choose me, they’ll be mine. If they reject me, then they can return to you. While the challenge is on, we’ll have truce. We can be civilized and you’ll live in my palace. The princes, however, will live in my chamber with me, never with you. Whether they warm my bed or not will be their choice. If you agree to the Challenge, I’ll break Elvey’s blood bond to me.”
Wrath surged in my heart even as ice pumped through my veins.
How could I whore my three mates out in exchange for my fourth mate’s freedom? But if I refused to play, she would shatter every single bone in Elvey’s body. And once he healed, the bitch would do it again and again.
I didn’t see any way out of this, but I still couldn’t sacrifice my dragon mates.
I swallowed. I wanted to reduce Tianna to dirt. “No,” I said. “You filthy bitch, you can’t have my mates!”
Tianna’s cat-green eyes sharpened in displeasure, and she raised her fingers, ready to snap. Ready to break Elvey’s bones again.
“No, you won’t hurt him again!” I shouted, throwing up my hands, ready to attack her with my White Light and everything I had.
“Do that and I’ll break every bone in him,” she said flatly.
“Break one more bone,” I said viciously. “And I’ll kill every one of your subjects here, and you’ll have no one to rule.”
