“Fuck, that was quick.”

Ducking behind the second story window of this red brick mansion, Rozalia checks the clip on Krol’s confiscated gun. Then, she quickly moves to reload her own pistol.

“What was quick?” I dare to ask, even if I already know the answer.

We’re not alone.

But Rozalia isn’t ready to face that reality yet. Not without preparing me first.

“Have you ever shot a gun before?” she asks, ignoring my question.

“No,” I sheepishly admit.

Riding up beside the elegant French window, I peak behind the Tyrian purple drapes and peer down onto the courtyard below.

Behind the grey pines and stone statues, I spot movement. A lot of movement.

Fuck.

A stone drops in my gut and my weak fingers curl around the base of my new switchblade. It’s still unsullied by blood. But it doesn’t look like that’s going to last much longer. Not if I want to survive.

“Pistol or Glock?” Rozalia asks me.

She lifts her two weapons up in the air, twirling them like dolls so I can get a good look at their full figures.

“I… I don’t know how to use either.”

“All you do is point and shoot,” she says, gesturing the motion. “Easy.”

“It’s not the shooting part I’m worried about,” I mumble. “It’s the killing part.”

“It’s kill or be killed, princess. Actually, it’s worse than that. If you don’t kill these fuckers, they’re going to drag you back to the dragon’s lair. Who knows what he’ll do to you there…”

Her warning only adds more weight to my worries.

“What do you mean, who knows? Aren’t you supposed to know these people?”

“I was supposed to,” Rozalia replies, her sharp gaze trailing off. “But now, I’m not sure what we’re dealing with. Gabriel’s told you the plan, right? The whole idea was to wife you up, put a baby in that flat belly of yours, and then go from there. But if Drago is trying to take you from Gabriel, then it’s anyone’s guess as to why. You’re not that much good to him alone. Just another hostage. And we’ve dealt with those before. It usually doesn’t work out too well. Someone innocent often dies.”

The implication is instantly clear—as is the revelation.

“Like Congressmen Olsen’s daughter…”

“She was just supposed to be practice,” Rozalia quietly confesses. “But she wouldn’t play ball. Neither would her father. I can’t imagine shit would go any smoother with you and your family.”

“So then what would this Dragon want with me?”

Rozalia shrugs, snapping herself back to the moment. “Maybe he’ll try to marry you off to his lapdog. That fucker Kuba Krol. God, I’m so glad I got to shoot him. Did you know he changed his last name so it would mean king in Polish? Idiot. I don’t know who he’s trying to fool. The priests would never fall for that shit. So, I guess you’d essentially just be his personal slave? I don’t fucking know.”

My gut twists into knots as I watch half a dozen black figures wash into the courtyard below. Their guns are twice the size of ours.
