TENSLEY DIDN’T LET his gaze wander too far from the cottage or Seto who leaned against the wall, foot tapping nervously against the stone path.

Over the sound of Seto’s nerves, all he could hear were the faint voices in the cottage of his dolcezza and Prim, but he didn’t bother listening in.

At the sound of footsteps, he fully turned to face the cottage and watched as Molly stepped out, a gloomy expression darkened her features. Tensley moved fast, reaching her side and spreading his hand across the back of her neck.

He wanted her close.

Molly looked up at him, her brows wrinkled.

“How is she?” Seto asked, his voice thick with anxiety.

Molly pressed her lips into a thin line. “She’s scared of the men returning. I told her you’d protect her.”

Seto’s gaze dropped to the ground. “I keep telling her the same thing, but it’s like she doesn’t hear me. Like she’s blocking me out.”

“Give her some time, she’ll open up. She…” Molly started, brows wrinkling, as if she was unsure of how to say her next words. “She also mentioned that it wasn’t Fallen who sold her,” Molly continued softly, as if it would lessen the blow. She looked at Tensley before she spoke. “She said Lilith was the one who did it. She… she said Lilith let some of the men touch her. I think,” she stopped, and they both heard her swallow. “I think they might have…”

But she didn’t need to finish her sentence. Seto’s face turned into a mask of dark fury, an expression he had never seen on the man, and he knew Seto understood very well what Molly had been about to say.

Tensley clenched his hands. That wicked bitch.

Seto shook his head, turning away from the both of them. “I want her dead. I want her throat between my hands and—” He paused, catching his breath, the wilderness buzzing loudly. Out of uncontrollable rage, Seto’s fists connected with the side of the old cottage, making it rattle. When he saw the blood on his knuckles, his brows furrowed, and his eyes turned tearful once more. He breathed in, but it seemed hard. “Thank you, my lady.”

Molly nodded, smiling softly back at him and watched as he tried collecting himself, calming himself down, and returned inside the cottage.

Molly sighed, rubbing her forehead. Tensley’s fingers massaged the nape of her neck.

“I have to go home,” she whispered to him. “To your family and Scorpios.”

His fingers paused, his chest aching at her words. “Of course,” he whispered back, not allowing her to know how much that pained him. How much his instincts screamed at him not to let her. To keep her close to him. Always.

But he felt exhausted, the small amount of intimacy they had shared earlier was quickly disappearing. And he knew that even close to him, in a court full of snakes, she wouldn’t be truly protected.

So he’d let her go back to earth, where he knew his family was no doubt taking good care of her, protecting her.
