“It’s not my fault, Raven wanted you in the dungeons.”

Raven, I roll the name around in my mouth, finally I know my mate’s name. “And why is that?”

“Because she doesn’t trust you, she wishes for you to be executed, but I had her compromise. This was it. I know this isn’t ideal, but she will come to you, often, I’ve seen your relationship grow.”

“How can it fucking grow when I’m locked in a cage.” I snarl at Lilith.

“It’s the only way, we gave you all the luxuries, really this isn’t a dungeon but the bars are so she can visit and see you, talk to you. She’s a curious girl, she’s going to want answers from you herself.”

That stuns me, she wants to get to know me, but has me locked up. I look and see Tristian in here with me. “And my friend here?”

“Oh, he can come and go as he pleases, but he felt it necessary to stay with you for now. Once Raven starts to visit, I doubt you’ll see him much. Tristian is free to roam around and get to know the area.”

“What of my people, if I’m to be here for some time, they will want answers.”

“We’ve send missives that you have found the Queen and are spending time with her. They understand. Your second, Bolton, is currently keeping the peace and doing any work that needs done.”

I rub at my face, “How do your mates do it? How are they not jealous of having to share you?” It’s something I’ve always wanted to ask but never did, I guess now is a good as anytime.

Lilith smiles at me, “It took some work, I’ve had to break it off with them a few times before if they couldn’t get along, but in the end, they love me. They make it work. They have to, or they lose me forever. I refused to do my part of the claiming until they worked it out amongst themselves. It didn’t take them long before they were knocking down my door saying I was theirs.”

Nodding, I somewhat understand. The other Kings and I will have a lot to discuss. Now to ask the embarrassing question. “What about sex?”

She shrugs. “What about it? They each have their moments with me. Cassius and Marcus sometimes get together with me at once, but the other two enjoy just one on one. And there isn’t anything wrong with that. You don’t have to have a massive orgy to have more than one mate.” She gives me an eyeroll. “Anymore questions before I leave you to your solitude?” she asks snarky.

Shaking my head, “No, it was just that, I wasn’t sure how you and your mates worked, how me and the other Kings will work. I think your hardest sell is going to be Nev. That angel dick doesn’t share his toys.”

“I’ll have you know, that right at this moment, Nev is giving up his latest toy. He’s feeling the pull, he doesn’t know it yet that it’s coming soon, but he’s going to be searching for Raven soon. The mate situation isn’t going to be easy. Luc, the Demon King will be most overjoyed at just finally getting a mate he won’t give a damn if he has to share.”

“What about Ryder?” Knowing the Vampire king personally, he’s not going to take this laying down.

“Oh, nothing to worry about with Ryder, he will be happier than Luc about this. He will know and understand what’s at stake and be most in position to listen to everything I say.” She gives me a pointed look. “You should know they’ve all been having dreams as well, as far as I can tell, Raven has only had two dreams, you and Ryder. But the dreams of her other mates haven’t yet come to her and when they do, you know they’ll be closer.”

“Thank you for your time, Oracle.”

“It’s been a pleasure, enjoy your time as well.” With that she walks away, and I slink down onto the mattress.

“Well, that was an interesting conversation, I must say, I hope when I get a mate finally, she comes with more than just me as well.” Tristian butts in.

“Shut up.”

Chapter 14

Raven

I’m mad, why I was given this tray of food to take to the dungeons is beyond me. I told everyone I wanted nothing to do with the fucker that raped me, yet here I am, bringing him his damn breakfast. If I was more of a bitch, I’d dump it and go back to my room. But something is calling me down here, and I don’t know what it is.

My mother, Lilith seems to think some of my witchness is coming out and the mate pull is what’s drawing me to this man. Apparently, he’s a shifter, not just any shifter either, King of the shifters. Which means he can turn into any animal of his choosing. Lougheed mentioned though that he prefers to be a Dire Wolf when he does a shift.

A man passes me and does a double take. “My Queen. Would you like me to take that tray for you?”

“I would, but I’m supposed to do this myself. Apparently.” I mutter. The man chuckles.

“I’m Tristian, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Raven.”

“I’ll just leave you to it, you have a good evening.” He bows to me and leaves.
