A perfunctory knock came before Riddick opened my bedroom door. I’d cleaned up but hadn’t had time for much else, so I stood there in front of the wardrobe, clad only in a long T-shirt and panties while I hunted for the softer leggings I preferred. None of it had kept my mind off of the day’s events, but it had at least given me something to do with some semblance of normalcy. I couldn’t deny the nerves that spiked through me and into the bond as my gaze connected with that of my mate’s. His bright blue eyes left mine, trailing down my body, inducing an unfamiliar line of heat that marked his path all the way down to my feet before traveling back up to my face. Whatever he saw there broke the spell, and he shook his head, clearing his throat as he stepped over the threshold.

After closing the door behind him, he failed to move or speak, indecision written all over his face while he stared at a point over my shoulder. If he couldn’t bother to look at me, I didn’t want him in my space. My irritation about his avoidance came out as I snapped at him. “What do you want now, Riddick? Did you come running when you heard I’d shifted back?”

Guilt radiated down our thread until he abruptly slammed his end shut. A headache immediately blooming in response to the unnecessary roughness of it. I held in the wince out of sheer stubbornness until my rapid healing took care of the pain, then I made sure my own connections were well guarded so as not to leak anything any of them could use against me. Had I not fed from Roman, I knew the healing would have taken longer, and I wasn’t sure I could have stopped anything from leaking into the bond. It was something I kept in mind while I tried not to think about what I’d do when I was hungry and weak again.

“It would appear so, wouldn’t it?” he muttered, self-deprecation heavy in his tone. I only raised a brow, cocking my hip to rest my hand on it as I waited him out. His jaw clenched tight enough I expected to hear his teeth creak and crack before he deigned to grit out what I already knew. “The date of the ceremony has been moved up. I don’t know how to make any of it more palatable and can only offer my heartfelt regret that you, that we, can’t have the mating we deserve. If you’d be amenable, I’d like to seal our bond before I have to…” He shrugged helplessly, but he didn’t have to say it. We both knew what he meant, though I didn’t let him off so easily.

“Before you have to, what? Do your duty and take a second mate like your brother? Will I be expected to watch you fuck her too, or will I be expected to wait in my rooms
