She giggled as she watched fear coat every inch of my skin.
With every ounce of sheer will that I possessed, I yanked the terror from invading every cell in my body, tossed it at my feet, and stomped on it.
I wouldn’t allow it to paralyze me.
I couldn’t afford to let my one true enemy get into my head, not just for my sake, but for my mates’, my warriors’, and my people’s—Fae, dragons, and humans alike.
“Why tell me this?” I asked with a stony face.
“First, the rule of the Challenge requires it. Second, I want you to suffer like no one has ever suffered. I want you to live in terror every second while you constantly ponder when your dragon consorts will betray you, and when they’ll be so eager to let me fuck them.” Her devious smile grew wider, and it was the most evil smile I’d seen. “You’ll scream and fight for a way out. But this time, there’s no way out. And you can’t tell anyone the true nature of the Challenge. You can’t demand your former mates quit the game. Once you do, you’ll fail the Challenge and return to be Furies immediately. The magic of the Challenge bonds all of us. You might want to research what happens to a Fae who breaks her promise.”
I already knew that. A Fae breaking a promise became a soulless creature, neither living nor dead, and never had a moment of relief. It was one of the worst fates.
I swallowed. My mind burned with one single determined thought.
I might not get out of this hell, but I’d make sure to drag her down with me, so she would never lay her claws on anyone else.
“You still have a month to remain in your lovely, queenly Fae form, niece. Enjoy every second while you can. Oh, you probably won’t be able to, not even when you fuck Elvey, because your mind will keep wandering to when Blaze, Rai, and Iokul will pound between my thighs. I’ll fuck them one at a time, then all of them. I can’t wait to have their massive cocks.”
“Shut the fuck up, you disgusting worm,” I said.
My bonding magic flared up, and I shattered her glamoured world.

Tianna jerked on her throne of gold and black diamonds, outrage marring her deceptively beautiful face. She hadn’t expected my strength. She hadn’t expected that I could crash the bubbles of her illusion.
She wasn’t done with me. She wanted to continue to toy with me out of boredom and nastiness, but I was done with her, for now.
Right now, she wasn’t my concern, but Elvey was.
I held him in my arms, and my trembling ceased. “I’ll never let anyone touch you again,” I said, my gentle fingers tracing his jaw to comfort him, to assure him.
Even being tortured like this, Elvey was still gorgeous beyond words.
“And I won’t let anyone touch you, beloved,” he said fiercely.
I forced back my tears. Without him watching out for me, I’d have been dead several lifetimes over.
“Shush.” I pulled him closer, knowing how painful it was for him to even talk.
Elvey passed out in my arms as his body finally relaxed.
“Healer!” I called. “I need a healer!”
No one approached us. No one dared.
Blaze, Iokul, and Rai watched us. They seemed to want to approach me, and I pleaded with them with my eyes, but they stopped halfway. All I got was unreadable expressions on their masked, hard faces.
My heart constricted.
Sphinx had said I would find a way home with four loves. He’d meant this fairy land was my home, the home that I’d never known.
I’d come back, freed my last mate as we’d set out to do, only to lose my other three mates.
Would I really lose them, or had I already lost them?
My agonized gaze traced them.
