Marcus summoned his Priestess to his office and got a delightful surprise when she appeared to him as Marcella and not in her usual robes.

“My lady,” he greeted her with a gentle bow, “how lovely to see you.”

“My lord, the feeling is mutual, as always.” She stepped closer and hovered for a moment before deciding on having a seat opposite him at the desk.

“How are things going?” Marcus asked her, and he was pleased to see that Marcella knew exactly what he was getting at without him having to outright say it.

“Wynter is indeed an enigma,” the witch replied with a fond smile. Marcus didn’t know why, but that small smile irked him. Marcella wasn’t allowed to care for anyone but him. Like with all his slaves, he was their number one priority, and he wanted to be sure that the same rules would apply to his Priestess as well.

“You care for her,” he said. It was a statement rather than a question, and Marcella offered him the slightest nod of her head in agreement.

“But my love is reserved solely for you, my lord,” she appeased him, and Marcus immediately calmed. He could sense she was telling the truth and smiled, his eyes flicking down to her stomach and back again.

“And your child,” he reminded her. Marcella beamed and nodded.

“Indeed,” she replied, instinctively placing a hand over her womb. The baby was still nothing more than an embryo, and yet, Marcus could tell she was going to be a strong witch and a powerful ally in his never-ending crusade for power. Like her mother. And like Marcella, he would treasure and guide the child as if she were his own.

“Have you seen anything more of her future?” he then asked, his mind going back to Wynter and the prophecy Marcella had previously told him.

“I still see her running into the arms of another,” she replied with a frown. She then settled back in the seat and stared off into the distance wistfully. “But I cannot see whom. I have made steps with Warren to ensure he stays away from her, but I can only assume it either isn’t enough, or that it could possibly not be him.”

“But who else?” he enquired and Marcella shrugged. There was no one who Wynter cared for as much as the boy, Marcus had been forced to admit that much, and he had also used her attraction to his advantage to make her stay with him. The feelings between the two were mutual, and yet even Marcus could see they were in no rush to fall in love and plan their escape.

Her curse was lifted and he could see such a difference now between Wynter and the other members of his team. They all adored him, even if they also had undercurrents of loathing or fear, and Marcus liked it that way, however with her it was all just one big show. But the façade was not for him. No, the pretence was for the others.
