Chapter Nine

Vrex

Ivy is as cold as ice as we travel toward Rakiz’s camp. My plan is to leave her with the tribe king and then hunt the Zintas and the Voildi once she is safe.

I should have told her. Should have admitted that I was sent to help her. I can’t explain why I didn’t. Except that for a brief period, I wasn’t just the Assassin of Agron. I was the male who saved the human female with the flame-colored hair.

I wanted to be more than just a killer. More than just a mercenary. For her.

“Will you not talk to me now, female?”

She sniffs. “I need some time, Vrex. I’m pissed at you.”

I attempt to ignore the way my shoulders straighten with hope that she will forgive me. Last night was the best night of my life.

A night that should not have happened. I am not worthy of the flame-haired female with the wide smile and sparkling eyes. But for a few short hours, she was mine.

I’m not ready to give that up.

“I did not think you would be the type of female to punish me by withholding your words,” I tell her, and she inhales sharply, glowering at me over her shoulder.

“You deserve the silent treatment,” she snaps. “You let me think that you just so happened to be close by and you decided to help me because you were a good man.”

I tense, hoping she can’t see how much her words sting.

“You are an honorable male, Vrex. I’m sorry that you do not believe yourself worthy of a mate.”

I scowl as Ilax’s words run through my head on a loop. The male was wrong.

“That was your first mistake, little Flame Hair. Believing that I was good. I warned you not to trust anyone on this planet.”

She shakes her head in disgust as she turns back around to face our trail. “You’re right. I should’ve listened.”

I grind my teeth in frustration. “If you want me to be your villain, I can,” I say, and she stiffens.

“Is that a threat?”

“No. I’m merely willing to conform to your expectations of me.”

I lean forward and run my teeth down her neck. I’m rewarded with her gasp even as she curses at me.

I grin with my lips pressed against her skin. “You still want me.”

She leans back and elbows me in the ribs. “I still want chocolate, but I don’t seem to have much of that in my life right now.”

I frown. What is this “chocolate”? And how will I find it for her?

We are close to the edge of the forest, and I turn Nari toward the plains that will lead us to Rakiz’s camp. Already, I feel tense at the thought of being surrounded by so many people. But it is the idea of leaving this female behind that makes me itch beneath my skin.

A huge tree is lying across our path, and I pull the mishua to a stop.

“Can we go around it?” Ivy asks.

My instincts are roaring at me. “I don’t like the look of this.
