“Tell me, Tristan…what would you do if you lost your freedom?” Leawyn asked him.

“To be forced to spend the rest of your life as nothing more than an object; tied to a man who cares so little about you, he would feel no remorse for killing everything inside of you.”

The wedding party continued to dance around them and even though they kept tempo, it was like time had slowed and everyone faded away until it was only them and this moment. An air of melancholy surrounded her, and when she met his eyes… it took everything he had to not react to what he saw reflecting in her ocean blue eyes.

“Would you accept your fate?”

It was a simple question, one that she couldn’t possibly know how much it would affect him. The hollowness that he saw in her depths was the same kind of emptiness that reflected in his own.

Because like her, he wasn’t free. He was trapped in the prison of his creation.

Unexplained anger coursed through him to which he unfairly directed at her. But just as quickly as his anger, came wariness.

Leawyn might seem like an innocent and defeated girl now, but she was far from it.

She was dangerous—she just didn’t know it yet.

From over her shoulder, he saw his brother get up from his and Leawyn’s shared table and make his way towards them.

Their time together was coming to an end.

She was still waiting for his answer; the fact that he was about to crush the glimmer of hope he saw in her gaze weighed heavy on him.

Because instead of admitting the truth, he did what he always did.

Lie.

“No,” he said softly, watching avidly as the light in her eyes dulled. “But you will, Leawyn.”

He released her and stepped back, hiding his shaking hands by dropping hers. He watched Xavier escort Leawyn to his horse, Killix. Her expression was more akin to a woman being led by her executioner instead of her husband.

If Tristan truly believed that he was capable of feeling anything, he would imagine the tight feeling in his chest would be sympathy.

You’re a liar.

The whisper in his mind made him clench his fists.

Filthy, dirty liar. You don’t feel sympathy for her. You want what he has. As always.

The toxic thought was one that he refused to acknowledge. Turning away, he pushed through the crowd that was still celebrating the union of the Izayges and Rhoxolani.

From foe to friend.

He snorted at the thought. He knew for a fact that the only reason Xavier agreed to the marriage was because he wanted the Rhoxolani’s land so that he could turn it into another Izayges settlement. His brother was a great warrior and masterful liar. He was cunning, ruthless, and cared only for the Izayges people. No matter the cost.

Unlike you.

He grabbed a mug of ale as he passed by the serving wench, ignoring the suggestive look she sent his way.
