“Ri-Ri?” Arlo’s groggy voice wakes me up, and I open my eyes to see him sitting up on the bed, staring down at me. “Am I dead? Are we dead?”

“No,” I say around a yawn, sitting up and rubbing my eyes. “I promise you we aren’t dead. It’s a long story.”

“Tell me everything,” he firmly states, his eyes narrowed. The playful Arlo I’ve always known is not here right now. I didn’t know he had a serious side until now. I gulp before blurting out everything from when I was taken by the stealers to rescuing him. “And then Prince Reign healed you and left us here. I don’t know if he is back, but he said he was cooking dinner.”

Arlo doesn’t say a word, just staring at me. “Why would you make that deal for me? You should have asked him to get you away from this island.”

I frown. “Because we’ve known each other since we were kids and you’re Austin’s best friend. I was never leaving this island without you.”

He seems to accept this and rubs his face. “I got to the party early with Austin to sort shit out and start the bonfire. Everything was fine until Austin noticed you were half an hour late, so he left me to go and find you. The last time I saw him was then, and I don’t think he came back.”

My heart pounds in my chest. “So he and Sophie might have met up and realised where I was. Given it’s half an hour back, they might have missed the attack.”

“Possibly. I never saw him on the ship or in the cells. But I never saw you until the auction,” he replies, and he reaches over, picking up my hand. We stare at each other, all our jokes and defensiveness we usually mess about with seems to wash away. “Thank you for saving me. I owe you big time, Ri-Ri.”

“Save my life if you can,” I reply, pulling my hand from his. “How are you feeling?”

He clears his throat before climbing off the bed, looking over his body. “Like nothing happened on the outside. The inside is a little different.”

“What happened with her? The vampire who bought you?” I ask, climbing off the bed myself and picking up the green cloak I found on the bed and handing it to Arlo. “Here, you should put this on. It’s cold in here.”

Arlo takes it and wraps it over his shoulders, then he pauses. He walks up to me, and I almost flinch as he touches the mark on my neck.

“I have one as well, not on my neck though,” he tells me and pulls up his trouser leg to reveal a mark just like mine on his calf, but it’s Prince Reign’s symbol. A dragon wrapped around a dagger within a circle of fire.

“Our marks to who we belong to. But Reign hasn’t marked me,” I reply. “But I suspect he will do.”

“Be careful about making any more deals with him.
