Chapter Fourteen

Gage

Gage was furious. The more he thought about Amelia and how she was clearly using him, the more furious he became. How dare she?

He was seriously doubting whether he would choose her at all. Why would he want to choose her if she was just using him? She was making him look like a fool. She was bending the rules, using whatever power she had over him. Exacting the kind of power that she shouldn’t have.

She was a slave. Just a female.

It irritated him to no end that she had the power to make him feel this way.

Clearly, she had found some kind of loophole and she was trying to take advantage of that. Somehow, she had twisted him around her finger, made him do her bidding. It was an unnatural feeling. No one had ever used him before. No one had ever been able to. He was a Qai, and his predictive skill was even better than that of most Qai.

How could he have been used?

Gage didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of that. He didn’t want her to succeed, he didn’t want to allow her the kind of freedom that she was basically stealing for herself. She had no right to it. No right to such freedom.

His thoughts warred with his values. He’d never considered slaves lesser, not in this way. But Gage couldn’t get a hold of his anger. He couldn’t manage to shake it off. Amelia had used him, and it had gotten under his skin. He couldn’t think of her as someone valuable, not after what she had done.

She was just a slave, and she had rubbed him the wrong way.

Why? Because he liked her. Because he had enjoyed spending time with her, and because she had led him to believe that she liked him too.

But that was just a lie.

He stood, waiting in the little portal that would lead him to the females, a line of them that he would have to study so that he could choose who he would want to win after the final battle. It was always like this – how many times had he stood here? Twice already.

Never before had it been such an emotional trip though. This time, he was struggling to contain himself. He was bursting with emotion – anger, frustration, infatuation, lust… It irritated him that he was struggling with such conflicting emotions. He didn’t want to like Amelia anymore, he didn’t want to be drawn to her.

But no matter how much he knew that she had been trying to use him, no matter how much he had thought about not choosing her, it didn’t change a thing. He still felt something for her, he was still drawn to her, and he knew that no matter what, he would look at their time together – although it had been on his command – and he would feel betrayed.

“You may go in,” a Saithin guard said to Gage. “No touching, only looking, but take as much time as you need.
