Puck refused to look at me as he thrust me into the cage and locked me in. Not wanting him to have the higher ground, I knelt, wrapping my hands around the bars, my chin tilted. “So brave, locking me in like this. Rank hypocrisy. Tod has more freedom where he is than I do.”

“You’re a self-righteous bitch. You know that right?”

“It was the right thing to do.” I wouldn’t say more, though I could. For the first time I considered revealing Tod’s true parentage to someone. Puck, I knew, would understand. He’d not approve but he would understand my motivation. What held me back was the sneer that turned his face ugly with anger.

“That boy means everything to us. And you’ve put him in danger with your little stunt.”

“He couldn’t be safer.”

“He’s a child. A very clever child. If he has run off? If he has decided he doesn’t want to be held captive, what then? We all agree he might be an omega. What if he presents early? What if he escapes and presents and some disgusting person. Some alpha comes upon him. They won’t care for his age or the dirt under his nails. There are people who—”

“I’ll not regret what I’ve done. How many times must I tell you that no harm shall come to him while he is in my care?”

“I wish I had your confidence.”

“You might hate me for what I did but believe me I would never put that child in danger.” He stormed to where I knelt, pressed himself against the bars causing my breasts to brush against his iron-hard muscles. His hand snaked through and he fisted my hair, tugging it painfully until I gave in and allowed him to pull my head to the side exposing my mating gland. “What are you doing?” I hissed.

“Showing you that even you will bend for me. You could kill me like this I am sure. But nevertheless you’ve bent your neck. If he were to present, if an alpha were to find him, that boy could kill them, but if I can make you, a grown woman, submit…” His words sunk in, and, oh goddess, I wanted to kill him in that moment.

“Puck, he is safe.”

“I won’t believe you until he’s cursing at me like a sailor.” He thrust me away from him and left. The harsh scrape of the bolt being shoved home left me with my anger and a niggling fear I wanted to bury and ignore. Why did it feel that instead of being locked into a cage I had been locked out of something so much bigger?

That they would imagine I’d put him in danger was absurd. That they worried? I hated admitting it made me proud for I was the reason they had raised him until now. Deeper than that, a fear I had got it wrong. That they did care, perhaps had worked without my knowledge to bring Tod home.

Whatever their feelings, I’d not stay in this place a moment longer.
