Razan stared at Shiyan as she lay back down, stretching like a sleepy cat. He clenched his jaw tight to keep from snapping at her.

He’d spent the entire night filling her womb with his seed, one would think the very mention of his future wife would arouse some response from her, but there was nothing, not a single emotion. Had her betrothed rode in the morning after he’d lain with her, he’d be ready to kill the bastard. But Shiyan didn’t give a damn who he fucked—who he wed.

He twisted on his heels, stopping at the door to call out to her. “Stay in my chambers until I get back. Bedwoa does not deserve to be humiliated by the presence of my concubine.”

With that, he stormed out, slamming the door behind him.

“Where is she?”

Razan’s hand froze in midair, the cup of juice perched at his lips. He turned his glacial stare on Bedwoa. “Where is who?”

He pretended ignorance, hoping she would let the subject drop, but she was either too stupid or too vain to notice the scarlet ring that encircled his pupils, signaling his mounting anger.

“Where is your whore?”

Razan glared at his mother and Hassim who both struggled to hide their laughter behind indelicate coughs.

“I have no whores, Bedwoa.”

“Do not play me for the fool, Razan. I know of your half-blood concubine. Everyone knows of her. You’ve been chasing after the bitch for decades.” Bedwoa’s shrill voice grated on his ears. He glowered at his mother who sat there regal and beautiful, smiling serenely. She acted as if she hadn’t been the one who’d promised him to this harpy.

Although, it did little to assuage his irritation with his mother knowing he could have easily broken the contract when his younger sister married Bedwoa’s cousin and united the two feuding houses, therefore absolving him of his obligation to her. At the time, he’d thought he was being honorable, but now—now he knew himself to be a fool.

“Bedwoa, I would appreciate if you would not use that…” he trailed off at the sound of a commotion beyond the dining hall.

He stood, his incisors lengthening although he did not sense danger. The moment she swept into the hall, his incisors retracted, although he amended his earlier thought.

She was danger personified. And, as if she wanted to emphasize that fact, she breezed into the room dressed in red, the swell of her full round breasts spilling over the low bodice. Everyone’s eyes were drawn to her. How could they not be? And despite his annoyance with her for disobeying a direct command, he found himself smiling inwardly.

Shiyan’s haughty gaze raked over him before it landed on Bedwoa.

“Did someone call my name?”

Bedwoa would not be cowed by the challenge in Shiyan’s eyes, her chin lifting into the air. “I didn’t use your name directly, although I think whore and bitch are sufficient—”

“Bedwoa apologize this instant,” he demanded, his hard glare landing on his mother and cousin who were absolutely useless as they struggled to contain their laughter.
