“Time to wake up, Jax,” a man’s voice said.

I stirred and felt like sand was stuck in my mouth and like a horse had kicked me in the head. “What? Water.”

I tried to sit up, but it hurt and I felt dizzy. “Don’t try to sit up yet. Just relax. The effects will wear off soon.”

I took slow breaths and tried to recall the last thing that had happened. The crew tattooed me and we were celebrating and I fainted. “What was in the alcohol?” I asked.

“Just a sleeping agent,” the man said, “No harmful after affects.”

I opened my eyes and Carlos smiled at me from where he was sitting. “Why?” I asked.

“Your father has always been one ahead of me. He beat me by one treasure in the festival, he convinced your mother to love him instead of me, he became King, and I was left here. Now I will keep you and take you for my wife. Imagine his face when he sees our child for the first time.” He laughed maniacally and I wished Finn were here so I could tell him I had been right.

“Finn?” I asked.

“Oh don’t worry, I had his crew loaded up on their ship and they are sailing safely out of my territory. I know you care for them and what kind of husband would I be if I killed the people you cared about?”

“I do love a fiery spirited woman,” he said and licked his lips. I reached for a dagger and realized I was completely unarmed. “Looking for these?” he asked me, pointing to my pile of weapons behind him on a table.

“I’ll never cooperate,” I told him. “I’ll fight you every day until I escape.”

“You are more than welcome to try,” he said smugly.

I ran across the building, leapt over the top of him and reached for a dagger. Something hard slammed into my back, knocking me to the ground and knocking the wind out of me. I gasped for breath and he pulled me up by my hair. “You’re pretty fast,” he admitted, “But not fast enough.”

I kicked his knee sideways and punched him in the throat. He gasped and released me to reach up to his injured throat. I pulled his dagger from his belt and stabbed it to the hilt in his thigh. He bellowed in rage and pain and I ran, grabbing my sword and a dagger as I went by and burst out of the door. Two men stood at the end of the walkway and drew their swords. I ran at
