Cyrus’s hand is in mine as he pulls me back through the palace, along the halls and winding flights of stairs. Past soldiers and servants and Lords who sneer and scoff at us as we pass.

He’s furious and dragging me roughly behind him as I clutch my burnt arm to my chest.

We arrive at the room he shares with my sister and he shoves me through the door.

He slams it shut and sighs.

‘I cannot believe you would be this fucking stupid.’ He faces me.

I have my dagger at his throat.

He watches it closely.

‘What the fuck are you doing?’ he asks. ‘You know what seeing you with a deadly weapon does to me.’ He looks from the dagger to me, and a dark smile pulls at his mouth. ‘Is this why you snuck in here?’ he asked. ‘To kill us?’

‘I came for my sister. Or should I say your wife?’

‘Either is fine, I guess, as both are true. Where is she?’ he asks, his eyes flicking around the room.

‘She’s safe.’ I return his focus to me with a nudge from my weapon. ‘Something you were unable to achieve, it seems.’

I do my best to ignore the agony of the burn on my arm, grateful it marks me and not Rhea.

Cyrus’s eyes lock with mine and he waits.

‘Why are there humans here?’ I ask.

‘They’re slaves. Prisoners. Gifts. Depends on who you ask and what they enjoy doing with them.’

‘Did you bring them over? Through the portals? You know, the ones you turned me into? Through the portals you killed me to create?’

He flinches at my words.

‘The human trafficking is between Ivan and the King. We had no say in it. We have no say in anything.’

‘Did you fuck my sister?’

‘No.’

Truth.

‘Have you kissed her?’

‘Yes. Five times. But not through choice. As you have seen, it’s not easy-’

‘Touched her intimately?’

‘Held her hand. Hugged her. I grabbed her arse once in the banquet hall, but only to get the others to leave us alone.’

‘You fuck anyone else whilst I was gone?’

He angrily scoffs.

‘Ask the right question, Princess. And I’ll answer it.’

‘Meaning?’

He leans closer, uncaring that the dagger digs in, threatening to spill blood.

‘Apart from what I have told you, I have not willingly or wantonly fucked, fingered, kissed or received anything sexual from anyone since you.’ He raises his brow. ‘Am I lying?’

No. He’s not.

‘Willingly?’ I repeat uneasily.

‘I think you can use your imagination from what you just witnessed. Any more questions? I can give you details if you like. But I would rather not if that’s okay with you.’

Anger twitches in his face. It burns through his eyes.

‘Rhea said you treated her well. Has Reid? Or does he usually burn her as he burnt me?’

‘I do my best to protect her, as does he. But she’s a stubborn girl who regularly refuses to hold her tongue and do as she is told, just like you. If anything, she has treated us well. Considering what we did to you and your mother.’

‘You mean the whole
