Visitation

Three sunrises.

Three sunsets.

Three plain, raw, meaty meals thrown to me like I’m stuck in this pit in my dragon form.

Lying on my back, I hug Zane’s dirty undershirt to my chest. I don’t know if he purposefully left it behind or not, but I’m grateful. I just wish I had something more. His scent already fades, and a part of me fears that with it, so will he. I’ll fall asleep and wake up to a life where my mates are no longer here.

Just the thought sends panic through my heart, tightening my chest. What if something happened? What if the Litendrakes discovered that the ones my soul bonded to are the very guards containing the supposedly vilest creatures in all of Magaelorum.

A shadow crosses over the grate, blocking out the sliver of the moon shining above. I roll from sight and shove Zane’s shirt inside my jumpsuit.

“Inmate D30899, get up. Let me see you,” Bryson snaps, turning on a blinding light.

Strolling to the center of the pit and into the spotlight, I tip my head back and squint. “Better?”

He growls softly. “The best.” His words come in a whisper. “Hang on. I’m dropping the ladder.”

I take a step back and watch Bryson drop a rope ladder. Instead of waiting for me to climb up, he jumps from the top and lands in the dirt in front of me. We both rush to each other at once, and he scoops me off my feet and hugs me tightly to his chest, resting his forehead to mine without rushing to kiss me.

“I think you’re forgetting something,” I murmur, leaning in close to press my nose next to his. “My lips are begging for your attention.”

“Fuck, Delilah. I’ve failed you. I’ve failed our clan. I don’t deserve the sweetness of your mouth.” Our clan. Hearing him refer to us as part of a clan gets to me in the best way. “The desperation of your affection. I want it—I need it—but I know I don’t deserve it.”

I caress my lips to his. “You’re getting it despite what you think. This has been torture. Where is Zane? Is he okay?”

“He...” He sighs against my mouth. “We don’t have time to get into it. You have some visitors.”

I frown. “Visitors?”

“Your mates.” He groans with his response. “They’re here for their arrangement with your family.”

Shit. “They can fuck off. I don’t agree, and it’s not even my season yet.”

“They don’t believe the warden. But I’ll kill Franco if he even tries something, Delilah. I promise. But you have to make an appearance. I can’t have CO Lioht coming to check on us here. We’ll talk later. About everything.” Adjusting me in his arms, he grabs the rope ladder with one hand. “Right now, I need you to have a clear head. Act remorseful. Use that wicked charm of yours.”

I puff a breath of air between my lips. “Only before I strike Franco if he dares try anything. I’m yours.”

“Damn straight.”

Silence falls between us as he climbs out of the pit and sets me on my feet.
