A few hours later, I was running. It was dark, and I ran down an endless hallway. I followed the different turns as I tried to escape my tormentor. I knew he was getting closer, but I thought he was playing with me, allowing me to run out of energy until I finally stopped. But I wouldn’t give up. I could hear my wheezing breath and feel the burn in my leg muscles as I continued looking for a door, for some kind of help.

He grabbed me, and I started to cry, “Please. Don’t.” I fought as he held me down.

“Theo, baby, it’s a dream.”

The words didn’t make any sense.

“Theodora, wake up.” He sounded angry.

I opened my eyes and found myself staring directly into Black’s face as it hovered over mine.

“Baby, it was a dream. You’re safe.”

We were in his bedroom in his bed, just Black and me. “I…I was…” I tried to explain.

“You scared the piss out of me,” he said.

I scooched up and leaned my back against the headboard. I was still breathing hard and my ribs hurt. “I’m sorry.” I pulled my sweat-soaked shirt from my chest.

“I know that. It caught me by surprise that’s all.” He sat up next to me.

“He was chasing me.”

“Charles?”

“I didn’t see his face; it was a feeling.” Jesus, it could be others. I’d never considered that.

“So, you were running?”

“Down a hallway, a never-ending hallway.” I dropped my head onto his shoulder.

He immediately took my hand in his.

His touch did not set off any warning bells, this time.

“I used to have dreams about my time in captivity. I would hear the guards’ steps coming down the hall for me and the smell...” He rubbed the tip of his nose, “Every once in a while I can still get a whiff.”

My stomach muscles tightened at his tone. “How long did your nightmares last?”

“At the time, it seemed like forever, but it was probably thirty years.”

I squeezed my eyes closed. That could be the rest of my life.

“I was imprisoned for decades.”

I was in shock that Black was talking about his imprisonment. I’d learned of it during my time on The Lady’s Plane. “Did they torture you?” I asked quietly.

“Yes.” He moved our hands so that they rested on his thigh. “For a Lycan, being locked away is torture.”

“Were you alone?”

“Sometimes.” His hand involuntarily squeezed my hand for a moment. “Imprisoned Lycans tend to kill one another.”

“Oh,” I breathed the word. I’d witnessed his violent side. It had scared the shit out of me.

“My captors pitted us against one another for entertainment. So a great deal of damage was done.”

Jesus, that hurt to think about. “You chose to be captured. Did you know that it would be like that?”

“The prince, he wasn’t strong. It was my duty to take his place, to impersonate him.”

And because he did and had survived, he’d been given the charter for Novus. “Did you know it was going to be that bad?”

“No.” He let out a long sigh. “I was young… Well, young for a wolf, and as I said, it was my duty.
