Hope
Three days had gone by since Faolen had taken control of the ship. Krygor, my wonderful giant, had gone out of his way to try to reassure Siona and me that everything would be fine. Yet, I could sense his frustration, anger, and helplessness. He huddled with Yulan and Zartag throughout the day, plotting, scheming, and looking for solutions in vain. Despite the fear gnawing at me, I still believed that somehow, the Goddess and Krygor would see us through. She hadnât gotten us this far only to abandon us now. I just prayed there wouldnât be too great a hardship awaiting us before we got free on the other side.
Therefore, to the best of my ability, I presented him with a positive front, made even easier by Siona. My daughter worshipped Krygor. The fierceness with which she believed he would defeat our enemies and take us home to Braxia was both impressive and inspiring. My throat still tightened at the loving way he had claimed my baby as his. Siona had dreamt of a strong father figure, and he exceeded everything sheâd ever wantedâeverything I had ever wished for. Him claiming her this way implied heâd also claimed me as his mate. It was silly to be so head over heels for a male I barely knew, but my heart told me Iâd finally found my soulmate.
I envied the Korletheansâ ability to know beyond any doubt when they had found their other half thanks to their psionic powers. But the strong chemistry between us couldnât be denied. Krygor made me happy. So, this new mess only made me angrier. Why couldnât we just be left alone? Had my daughter and I not suffered enough? Was it not finally our time to live the way we wished with the one we wanted? Why the fuck did random men think they had the right to control and use us to their benefit, their pleasure, heedless of our own aspirations?
These thoughts allowed me to get through those three days without going insane. Rather than giving in to the fear that threatened to turn me into a terrified wreck, I clung to my anger, fed off of it, and used it to fuel my determination to live the fairy tale life Krygor had given me a glimpse of.
Whatever it took, we would be free.
However, the Sarenian truly had us at his mercy⦠at least for now. The couple of times Krygor and his men tried to tamper with the ship, Faolen immediately took punitive measures. The first time, he locked the room the men were in and increased the temperature to sweltering levels until they began showing clear signs of heat stress. The second time, he shutdown life support in the room heâd locked the men in, only reactivating it once they had lost consciousness.
After the men recovered that second time, Faolen warned them that if they tried to pull another stunt, the punishment would be applied ship-wide, therefore affecting Siona and me.
