**Laran**

She branded me.

Twin pentagrams now adorned my shoulders, identical to the one between her breasts. Except these were not black, but blue. They glimmered faintly in the evening glow coming from her window. Swirling. Moving in a way that brands normally did not.

I touched the tips of my fingers to them, but the skin was unmarred.

Old magic.

Even older than I.

I swept my gaze across to her, wanting nothing more than to reach out. She gave me the greatest gift that could be bestowed on me. The highest honor.

I was the first mate.

And she felt guilty about it.

Possessiveness and territorialism pounded through me, wanting to pummel Death into the fucking ground for what he was doing. The fucker was jealous it wasn’t him. It just as easily could have been if he didn’t have a stick up his ass and would just talk to her.

He didn’t need to make her feel guilty about it.

I took a step closer and her sapphire eyes flared with heat.

That’s it, baby. Come to me.

My mind reached out tentatively, trying to brush against her fragile psyche. She’d yet to display any form of telepathy, but I wish she had.

Oh, I wish she had. The things I was going to do to her once I had the chance…once I got Julian the fuck out of here.

“War!” Julian shouted. It reverberated through my very bones, yet none of us had spoken a single word. I cut my eyes to him.

“What the fuck are you doing? Can’t you see I’m in the middle of—”

“She hasn’t transitioned yet, you fool!” He never shouted. Never raised his voice. In the eons of our existence, I could think of only a handful of times.

It was the tone of his voice that had ice racing through my veins.

She hadn’t entered the transition. Not even after branding me had she entered the transition, but oh, she smelled like it. Time was not on our side, and I just made the situation infinitely more complicated and likely to blow.

Because there was no way I was going to be able to stay away now.

It was hard enough not to run to her and fall to my knees.

To give her everything she deserved.

I was claimed and owned as the first mate of the next queen, and I couldn’t even act on it.

Fuck me.
