Chapter Eight

Rhynne

Rhynne smiled thinly as her mother began blabbering on the second she got to the Mountain Box. Mina looked on helplessly, mouthing an apology as she and Marincin, her mate, took a seat farther down the table.

Her mother was supposed to be in the Desert Box with the rest of the Council. Unfortunately, she was not. Rhynne really hoped Dom took his time getting that water, so she could get rid of her mother.

“So, my dear, tell me, have you seen Garviel yet?”

“No, Mother. I’m sure as the guest of honor he’s busy.”

“But you should be at his side, shouldn’t you?”

Something inside of Rhynne snapped. She kept her voice as polite as possible, but she was so through with her mother’s interference in her life.

“Come now, Mother. You can’t be serious. You didn’t really think I would be interested in him, would you?”

“Rhynne!” Her mother looked at her, shocked. “What has gotten into you? Garviel is a nice man. He’s well-connected and comes from the same places as you. You two are prefect for each other.”

“I’m sure he is nice. In a way. But the answer is no. Not interested, at all. In anything. I’m not going to give it a chance. As soon as it’s finished, he’s gone, and I’ll be happier for it. That’s just the way it is.”

“I see.” Her mother gave her an angry, unimpressed look and grabbed her drink and left, heading off into the party.

“Thank goodness for that,” she said, sagging against the table in relief.

Then she straightened, looking around. Where was Dom? He’d been gone for some time now. She moved out into the Hall to look for him, constantly looking back over her shoulder at the Mountain Box, in case he appeared there, but he never did. Her search took her up to the third tier, the ring where people went to escape the press of the mass of shifters down below.

Inwardly she groaned as another voice sounded from nearby, interrupting her search.

“Well hello, beautiful. Don’t you look like something else tonight.”

“Hello Garviel,” she said, using the same tone on him as she had with her mother.

Turning around she watched him approach. He was wiping at something on his suit that looked like a stain, while flexing his other hand, as if it hurt.

“Oh come on, all my friends call me Garv,” he said, flashing her his best grin.

“I’m sure they do, Garviel,” she said, letting some ice slip into her voice.

“Ouch,” he laughed, but still he closed, coming to her side. “Come on, let’s dance,” he said, moving to take her arm.

Rhynne stepped back. “What the hell do I have to do to get the point through your thick skull that I’m not interested?” she snarled.

That got his attention. “Give us a moment,” he said to his followers, who melted back somewhat.

“Now come on, Rhynne. Let’s be honest here. You aren’t going to be able to make it work with that Treadblood. Don’t kid yourself. He’s half the man I am.
