CHAPTER NINE

“Are you sure you want to go and train?” Lori asked him, her face anxious, as the gong sounded and he rose reluctantly to his feet.

He knew she didn’t want him to leave, and he didn’t want to leave her either. Despite their situation, or perhaps partially because of it, it had felt as if they had spent the afternoon enclosed in their private bubble. They had done little more than talk, but it had felt more intimate than any of his previous sexual encounters.

But that private bubble wouldn’t last. At any moment the Warden could decide to change the rules or implement some new punishment. The reality of their situation couldn’t be ignored—which meant he needed to talk to Hafra.

But despite that necessity, he lingered long enough to press a kiss to her lips, reveling in her immediate response.

“I will return as quickly as possible,” he promised and tore himself away, closing the cell door behind him once more.

He hated locking her in, but it was for her protection. Hammol had promised to watch out for her again. Although that hadn’t worked out well earlier, nothing would have prevented the Warden from taking her. However, as long as he kept her safe from the other prisoners, he would be satisfied.

When he passed the cell where the winged prisoner had been the previous day, he shot a quick glance into the cell, but nothing moved in the darkness. Since their encounter, he had learned that the prisoner’s name was S’quent and he was the subject of much speculation amongst the other inmates. His fighting skills were legendary, although he rarely used them. His background was equally mysterious—the rumors casting him as everything from the instigator of the Slithian Massacre to the captain of a fleet of pirate ships to a lost heir to the Imperial throne. Since he was quite clearly not Kaisarian, Altrez discarded the last one, but neither of the others would surprise him.

When he reached the training room, the scene was much the same as the day before, only this time he attracted significantly more attention. He heard the muttered whispers and saw the expressions of both awe and suspicion from the other inmates. A Sudra muttered something about the fight being rigged, shooting him a look of intense dislike, but he ignored him.

The Sudra belonged to the warrior caste, unlike the poor specimen that Hafra was currently brutalizing under the guise of a training match, but he showed no concern for a weaker member of his species. Hafra seemed equally unconcerned about the damage he was inflicting. Altrez forced himself to hide his disgust and went to one of the training machines, careful to choose one that wouldn’t put any strain on his healing wound. The oxant powder worked wonders, but it could only do so much.

Once again, the guard was forced to break up Hafra’s match. He dropped his opponent on the ground without a second glance and came to join Altrez.

“Quite a display you put on earlier.
