The following day I wake up in my own bed with Amon nowhere to be seen. As promised, we only had one night together—but many more to come.

As Mary comes to tend to me, I ask her to run me a hot bath before starting the day. I am still sore between my legs despite the fact that I took so little of him inside of me. But seeing how he'd fretted about me afterwards, my guess is that he broke my maidenhead, which is why it had been both painful and a little bloody.

Yet how could he expect anything less with his frightening size? I wonder if human males are similar in that regard, yet somehow I doubt it. Everything about Amon is in the superlative. I don't think anyone in the world could measure up to him. But again, I may be a little biased on the subject.

For the next hour, I lounge into the hot bath, enjoying the many fragranced oils Mary adds to my water.

Yet as she helps me dress, she informs me that my mother wants to see me in her office.

That in itself would sound ominous, considering what I'd overheard yesterday.

But I trust Amon implicitly.

So when my mother gives me the dreaded words, "I found you a husband," the only thing I feel is anticipation for the future.

For my mother's sake, though, and to maintain our cover, I pretend to be entirely surprised.

"His name is Jeremiah Creed. He's an American industrialist. He may not have a title, but he wishes to relocate to his home with you. I've had him checked, and his credentials are sound, as is his fortune and his morals. He is everything I would have wished for you."

"And I don't get a say?" I mumble drily.

"Of course not," she gives me a tight smile. "I know best for you, dear. He will call on you in," she pauses as she glances at the mantle clock, "one hour. Please do make an effort. This is your only chance to escape that...demon," she grits her teeth, unable to even say his name out loud.

I mumble something before I make my exit, going to my room and waiting for the so-called meeting.

No matter how much my mother may love me, and I do believe she does, she is also entirely too invested in her coven.

Unfortunately for me, not only am I the second-born, but I also have my powers bound, which means that aside from the curious mark on my chest, I won't serve for much in her world. As such, as long as she thinks I am safe on the other side of the ocean, I know she will not bother with me again.

Mary helps me prepare to receive Mr. Creed, and all the while I cannot help but be curious about what Amon had in mind.

Just who would he send to play the role of this Mr. Creed?

When the hour comes, I go to the drawing room to meet my intended.

"Elizabeth, come," my mother exclaims.
