Chapter 11

I closed my mouth with a snick of fangs, gaze darting across to my males. Kerax flashed me a tight smile, but panic seeped through my veins in an icy trickle.

If the Council gave me to the frost giants, my life would be a living nightmare.

My claws dugs into my palms. The sting cut through some of the building fear. Determination crystallised inside my chest. I wouldn’t be going with them, no matter what.

“Councillors.” Pascan stood, drawing every eye in the room. He inclined his horns in a show of respect I know he didn’t feel. “It is my belief that the Frost King wouldn’t be interested in mating, but revenge. This is a strong and fertile Shua’than with magic in her veins. Her potential shouldn’t be squandered on petty squabbles.” His tone heavily implied such actions were beneath them, buttering the Council up while asserting his preference as the logical choice.

Pascan was bossy and sometimes aloof, but he was also sharp and, apparently, diplomatic.

Councillor Pakkan glanced either side at the rest of his colleagues, before seeming to come to an unspoken decision. A cruel twist lifted one side of his pale lips.

Panic gripped my heart and squeezed.

“I hear your point, Pascan. There’s no need to further illustrate your desperation.” His coffee eyes flared, voice mocking.

I gritted my fangs at the Councillor’s arrogance. They ached to sink into his soft throat. The air heated until a bead of perspiration trickled down my spine, but Pascan’s stunning features didn’t relent the stoic mask, unmoved by the insult.

“The choice is of course yours, Council.” He inclined his horns once more.

“Of course it is. Clearly you can’t keep the bitch in line.” The Councillor sneered. “The Frost King can have her.”

Beside his brother, Zavix’s smile bloomed with a fierce joy. “I was hoping you’d say that.”

Rejection stabbed me in the heart.

I squinted as the air turned hazy in front of the vicious nymph. Zavix raised his hands, engulfed in the orange flame, with a dark chuckle.

Chairs toppled as the nearby royals jumped in their haste to get away.

“You can’t use magic in the castle! It’s forbidden!” Councillor Grier boomed, the orc surging to his feet with his meaty green fists clenched.

Zavix grinned wider, his flames flaring bright.

“The whore is mine. Grab her!” the frost king roared, lurching into action.

Movement snatched my attention from the drama unfolding. A guard leapt for me in a flurry of pale blue fists.

I darted back, stumbling down the stone steps as I slashed out. My lengthening claws scored the guard’s chest, spraying cool navy blood.

“Stop! Your Council demands order!” Councillor Pakkan rose to his feet beside the lumbering orc.

Everyone ignored him.

Chaos erupted in the ballroom.

I caught sight of Finn smashing his meaty fist into the Frost King’s stomach with a great roar. Vrix was right behind him in a mass of muscled red fury as his claws caught across the giant’s shoulder. Ice swallowed the golden table between them.

My attention returned to my own angry opponent.

The frosty guard snarled, gripping his wounded chest and eyeing the blood.
