And she was clearly loyal to Zurie. How inAkash'sname would I convince her to betray her QQueen.
The vision where I became King and liberated my people from Zurie’s oppression and exile, liberated the Kahlohani Islands of the fae scourge that had enslaved the few Kahlohani that remained and had exploited the land and sea so they could grow and harvestaetra. Where I created peace and prosperity for all of Atratus. Where I claimed and vowed myself to my preciouslohane thili.
And the fucking nightmare where our hatred for one another burned the tether between us, where violence ensued, and my true form shifted into something even more demonic looking than what it already was. The same form that I already had to keep disguised by a constant glamor because it was already toodifferent. Too terrifying.
Too… much.
And yet, I was powerless to turn away.
It was such a bizarre contrast to imagine that the female who had slaughtered my soldiers in droves was the same one who would readily dive into a burning building to save a singular human’s life.
Most wielders wouldn’t have bothered, human or not. The remaining few who might have been willing to help would have consoled themselves with the fact that he was elderlyandhuman. Not worth saving because he would have only had a few fleeting years left to live anyway.
I conveniently shoved aside the knowledge so I could fuel my justified rage.
I wanted to destroy something.
No.
I wanted to fucking kill this female.
It’s what she deserved.
The distinct and tangible sensation of a tether connecting us, body and soul, flared to life,burningat the thought.
Every second I’d spent in this female’s presence… That tether between Mareina and me wound tighter and tighter as though it was trying todragme to her. Just as every passing second with her, that feeling ofrightnessgrew increasingly powerful and began to blossom into something more… something that caused a painful, and now no longer welcome, ache in my chest.
How fucking twisted was fate that my Queen would also be my enemy?
I needed her out of my sight before I did something regrettable.
I bent over the bed, roughly taking Mareina’s bound body into my hands and tossing her over my shoulder.
In all the years I’d possessed these particular binds, not a singlewielderhad managed to escape them. I silently thanked my Knowingness for urging me to bind her. It had pained me to do so at the time, but now, with the bitterness poisoning my need for her, I found no small amount of twisted satisfaction in it.
Thankfully, I’d also had the sense to feed Peanut and Bellona and send them out in the fields to keep Chihiro and Pumpkin company. Otherwise, it would be complete mayhem here.
“Where are you taking me?”
“To your new prison.”
She growled viciously as she tore a chunk of flesh from my back and slammed her bound fists into my kidney. The missing chunk of flesh, I could handle. The blow to my right kidney, however, had my right knee buckling.
I tossed her onto the bed only for her to lunge for my throat, snapping her fangs at me gain, gifting me with another wound - this one on my cheek. I barely caught her by the jaw as I allowed my own fangs to lengthen - fangs that I knew were even more deadly looking than hers as I removed the glamor from my eyes for them to return to their pitch-black color.
Instead of the fear I’d hoped to inspire, her gaze only hardened, and the sight of her licking my blood from her lips had my traitorous cock thickening in my trousers.
“I can bite too, Mareina, so unless you’d like a few more scars and some blood loss, it would be wise for you to calm the fuck down. And right now, I would love nothing more than to make you suffer,maha mo’ina li’ili.”
My little nightmare.
She didn’t bother replying verbally.
Faster than I could anticipate, Mareina’s bound arms lashed out, uppercutting me with both closed fists so hard I saw fucking stars. My head snapped back with a crack, my consciousness nearly fleeing me, and she was on top of me before I could even recover. We landed on the hardwood floor with a loud thud, and instinctively, before she tore my fucking throat out, my open palm connected with her face with a loudsmack.
Shehit the ground so hard it even took me by surprise. How she remained conscious was beyond me.
The action had only stoked her fury. She lunged at me again. This time, I was ready for her. She seethed as I gripped her throat and again pinned her beneath me. Blood trickled from her head into her eyes from the laceration on the side of her head where she’d hit the ground.
