Chapter Seven

The harem was deserted when Castor shoved open the doors, propelling Aura forward ahead of him after finally placing her on her feet. He had navigated the darkened hallways with sure steps, making the walls spin around her as he hurried with long-legged strides through the twists and turns.

Every place where his skin met hers, the hands that gripped at her shoulder and under her bent knees, the press of her cheek against his chest as he held her securely against him, was a flash point of electricity and desire.

When he laid her gently on the bed and took a step back, Aura could finally breathe again. But he didn’t leave the room and instead stood staring down at her with massive arms crossed over his chest. His gaze roved over her, as if assessing her for injury. She forced herself to take deep breaths in and out, as if proving to him she was fine would get him to go away faster.

Aura had been able to forget just how large he was until he loomed over her, filling her vision with his form until it was all she could see. She desperately wanted him to leave, almost as much as she hoped that he would stay.

And the mark burned, a painful fire that only he could extinguish.

Castor finally spoke, voice a low rumble. “Has my father visited you in the harem, or had you brought to his chambers?”

“You left me here. What does it matter to you?”

It was clear from the strain on his face that Castor had only a thread of control on his anger that was moments from snapping. “Answer me.”

His control had impressed her in the beginning, as other Alphas in the Forbidden Zone descended into madness and he remained able to manage himself. But now she understood that his control was not borne of exceptional willpower, but instead a deep-seeded need for self-flagellation and a denial of himself that bordered on self-hatred.

He couldn’t accept what he was, so how could he possibly accept her?

“Your father hasn’t touched me,” she snapped, glaring up at him. “And neither has anyone else, at least not yet.”

“What do you mean, anyone else?”

Perhaps Ianthe hadn’t spoken to him after all. The increased number of guards must have been Legion’s doing.

But Aura wasn’t feeling charitable, sick of his high-handedness. He may have saved her life, but he’d also made her a captive. “Do you really not know what happens here?”

A low growl escaped his lips before Castor realized what he was doing and caught himself. “Explain.”

“I’ve been told that other men visit the harem, not just the King.”

His voice was cold enough to freeze water into ice. “What men?”

“I have no idea,” Aura snapped, nearing the end of both her patience and her ability to tolerate his posturing. “There are a dozen other women living in this gilded cage. Feel free to ask any of them.”

“I’m asking you.”

“You’ve dumped me in a place where the women exist only to be used, if not by the King then by others.
