Chapter Twenty

When it was apparent I was alone, and he wasn’t coming back any time soon, I stopped yelling, pressed my back against the door, and slumped to the floor. Besides a mattress that had seen better days in the corner and a shoddy wooden bucket, the room was empty. A single tiny rectangular window high up on the outside wall gave the only light, and by the looks of it, it wouldn’t last long. I hoped they kept the hallway lit. The barred window in the thick wooden door would provide a modicum of light. It’s not like I was scared of the dark or anything but being in a dungeon cell with who knew what kind of creepy crawlers in the pitch black didn't sound like my idea of fun.

Swearing out loud, I promised myself that if he left me there overnight, I’d make him regret it. Although if I thought about it, if that were to happen, I’d be the one begging for forgiveness. Considering the potion I took that morning lasted less than twenty-four hours, I probably had less than twelve hours before it wore off. If he waited until morning to collect me, he'd know without a doubt that I was his mate. And I had no doubt he’d make me pay for my deceit, regardless of how righteous I thought my plight was. Crap! Why couldn’t I have answered his stupid question? I could have avoided incarceration. I was always a girl who believed everything happened for a reason, but I was having second thoughts when faced with a flawed reality.

Letting myself bask in the possibility this was anything less than desirable was an insult to my intelligence, especially considering my current accommodations. Kalen pampered me last time I was here. I had no doubt my second time on this planet was worse than my first time through. I mean, hands down, being treated like a queen beats a stint in the dungeons.

Pushing myself up off the floor, I took in the four black stone walls of my prison and shuddered. I tried to swallow the lump in my throat and choked. I was never any good with closed spaces. My mouth felt drier than the Sahara Desert. Forcing myself to dredge up enough spit to get my tongue off the roof of my mouth, I let out a sigh and began to pace. I couldn’t afford to freak out. I needed to keep my cool so that I could figure out a way out of here. Considering it took three giant steps to cross the room, it didn’t take long before I felt like I’d been spinning in a circle and got a bit dizzy.

Deciding to save my energy and the water left in my body, I approached the mattress with reluctance and nudged it with my foot. I prepped myself to jump back at the first sign of any kind of life, be it critter or bug, as the room started to spin around me.
