Chapter 7

Rita’s heart constricted as Warrian slumped against the wall and stared off into space. Ultrima’s rejection of his apology had defeated him more than being captured had.

It was all her fault. She shouldn’t have been fooled by his uncaring façade and realised how badly his mistakes had hurt him. Instead she’d given him hope there was something he could do to repair the damage he’d done, and then Ultrima had dashed it.

She shouldn’t have pushed him to apologise. But she’d been so certain that not only would it help him atone for the mistakes he’d made, but that Ultrima would let them go.

Heaving a sigh, she sat down next to Warrian, letting her shoulder lean up against his. Predictably, as soon as she touched him, even through the material of her shirt, the Mesmer bond made its presence known with a surge of desire.

Well, maybe that wasn’t so bad. Perhaps the desire would help perk Warrian up.

Maybe it was time to start considering other plans for escape. If apologising hadn’t worked, then Warrian could be right. Ultrima might have more sinister plans for them. A shiver ran down her spine at the thought. She’d been so convinced that underneath the Trima dragon’s tough act, he had a heart. She’d been so sure the apology would work.

“I’m sorry I got you into this mess,” Warrian muttered. “You must really be wishing you weren’t bonded to me right now. I’m a disaster waiting to happen.”

Rita’s heart went out to him. Apparently once he’d let that pain through, it had leaked over everything.

“You are not a disaster,” Rita said firmly. “You made a mistake. We all do that. Hell, I’ve made a few myself recently.” She grinned wryly and bumped her shoulder up against his, enjoying the thrill that went through her body at the contact. “We’ll figure something out.”

“No, we won’t.” Warrian’s voice was hollow. He looked up at her, and his eyes were hopeless. “There’s no way out. Don’t you get it? My entire clan fought against Trima clan and couldn’t defeat them. Even if we could somehow get a message to them, there’s no rescue coming. And clearly any attempt to appeal to Ultrima’s better nature is doomed to failure.”

That attitude wasn’t helping any. Rita didn’t blame him. The situation did seem hopeless right now, but she refused to give up. Not when everything else was going her way for a change. Warrian had forgiven her for lying, and she’d been able to forgive him. Despite the odds being stacked against him, Warrian’s story had melted away the last of her reservations about him. If they could get out of here, maybe there was a chance for them too.

As if that wasn’t enough to bring a smile to her face, she’d even convinced Warrian to let her print her article. She certainly wasn’t going to give up before she had the chance. Not without a bloody good fight at least.

“There has to be a way,” she said firmly. “We just haven’t found it yet.
