Twenty-Three

Castor had taken to visiting her at night. He would bypass the locked door of the harem as if it did not exist, unbothered by the guards and move silently through the darkness until he reached her room. She couldn’t be sure if any of the women in the harem knew of the nighttime visits, but none of them had spoken so much as a word of it to her, not even Dharia.

During the day, Aura fought to remember that she had an intense desire to leave and someday return to her family. But the moment he crossed her threshold, and she caught the first hint of his scent, any thoughts that were not related to having him inside of her fled from her mind.

He was careful to speak no word of Sirena, but Aura understood that the princess was still somewhere in the palace, busy with preparations for the upcoming wedding. She tried her best not to think of it because the pain quickly overcame any other emotion.

And she hated that Castor could inspire any feelings in her at all. She could rationalize the desire as something outside of her control, a biological imperative that couldn’t be overcome. The Sotiri had done this terrible thing to her that made her crave her own degradation. But the emotions she felt that were greater than mere physical desire, she held herself responsible for that. With each night that passed, she grew closer to losing herself.

For his part, Castor seemed unbothered by the battle that waged within her. They barely spoke beyond the growled words he growled harshly in her ear as he climbed over her prostrate body — you are mine, no other man will ever touch you.

Open for me.

She heard his voice even when she was alone, those words whispering through the small room even after he had left her to return to his own bed. He made a point of never falling asleep beside her, for reasons he never explained. Perhaps he feared discovery but the more likely explanation, as far as Aura was concerned, was that once their mating was complete, he found no other point to being with her.

The force of his presence she used to feel through the bond had receded, as if a wall had been erected between them. Although it still caused her pain, she felt more removed from him even when he stood in the room with her.

But that didn’t stop her body from craving his touch. And the mark still burned. She felt as trapped by her desire for him as she did by the four walls surrounding her.

One night, when the knot kept them bound together in a way that neither could escape, she did finally speak those words aloud. “You have to let me out of here.”

“We’ve discussed this.” Castor twisted his hips so that his still swollen knot pressed against the sensitive spot inside of her until stars exploded across her vision. “I can’t let you leave the palace.”

Except she wasn’t trying to make the same tired argument he had consistently ignored.
