When they came and retrieved her from my cell, it took every ounce of my inner strength not to tear the Valarian guard limb from limb when he closed his fingers around her upper arm.

As instructed she didn’t look at me, and I remained on the pallet, my gaze on the ceiling. I didn’t want them to know that I’d fed from her, that I’d had her under me, and that I had broken the chain so that with an easy yank, I would be free.

When she saw Keno, she’d tell him I attacked her. As Keno planned to claim her for himself, he’d take that as a personal attack. He’d come to deal with me himself, and that was exactly what I wanted to happen.

I spent some time trying to remember what I knew about the blood veil. The only thing I could recall so far was that it only occurred in females—Occulta, they were called. It didn’t make sense, though—she had dreams, the same dreams I did. Had her father tried to turn her at all and failed? She would have remembered that, though….

Fuck, so many questions that I couldn’t answer while I was chained in this goddamn cell. I played out every single scenario on what could happen once Keno walked in—I refused to believe he wouldn’t. I had plans A through Z worked out, and my anger hadn’t cooled, not one bit. Every second that Celia was away from me, out of my sight, was another second where the rage burned in me, bright white and scorching hot. I curled my hands into my fists, and made sure the chain on the wall was weak like I needed.

I had to conserve my energy and wait. While I did, I imagined all the things I’d do to Keno once I was free of this chain.
