I regretted my words as soon as I had said them but I knew I couldn’t take it back so I settled for walking away with the little pride and dignity that I had left. I was determined to avoid him for the rest of my life because! knew what a taunt like that would do to a man like Zade. He was a natural predator and I had juts given him something to chase after. I had marked myself as prey and he was going to do everything in his power to make
sure that he won.
I found it amusing that in the span of two days, I had put myself in the direct line of fire of not one but two men. Kaya found it amusing and told me that becoming my guard was the best decision she had ever made because it gave her free entertainment. I flipped her off when she said that.
Before I slept, I muttered a prayer to the goddess that Zade would forget all about my challenge by the next morning and I honestly thought the goddess had granted my prayers because for the entirety of the day, nothing happened. I had let my Guard down by evening and that was when I was told that Zade had requested me to join. him for dinner. As if that were not enough, Landon was also there. It was such a tense affair that I wanted nothing more than to let the ground open up and swallow me.
I wanted to run for the hills but I was hungry and I had to sit down and eat. Zade did not speak once during the meal which confused me because I knew for a fact that he didn’t do things without a plan and I couldn’t figure out what his plan was. Even Landon looked between Zade and I as if he could sense the awkward struggle between us. I felt bad for him because he was in the middle of us for no apparent reason.
As soon as I was done with my food, I stood up to leave but Zade spoke. “Be in my office in an hour and do not be late.”
I wanted to retort or say something smart but I knew it would only dig a deeper hole for me so I simply nodded. I left the dining room and locked myself in my room. I planned to ignore Z ade’s summon and pretend like I forgot but in exactly one hour, I had a guard knock on my door. I ignored it hoping he would leave but to my shock, he unlocked the door with a spare key and grabbed me by my upper arm to take me to Zade. It didn’t matter to the guard that I was in a night gown, he barely even looked at me.
Once he had deposited me in front of Z ade’s office, he stood guard. I debated running away but I knew he would easily catch me. I took a deep breath and pulled the door open. Zade was seated at his desk like a regal king. He sat in a relaxed position with his legs spread wide and I noticed a girl standing in the room beside him. She was breathtakingly gorgeous.
She had long and luscious black hair that flowed all the way to her lower back. She was wearing a fitted red dress that was so short it made her legs look like they went on for miles. Her lips were painted in the same bold

red color and she looked absolutely stunning. I couldn’t help but feel small next to her because of how put together she looked while I was in a white nightgown and a messy bun.
“Am I interrupting something?” I asked staying at the door because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to know what was
going on.
“Not at all,” Zade gestured for me to come in and although every fiber in my body was screaming for me to run away, I made my way closer and shut the door. “Take a seat, Megan. You’re just in time for the show.”
I didn’t know what was happening but I had a feeling that I was not going to like it but I sat down. The room was quiet with no one moving or breathing until Zade reached out a hand to the girl and she hesitantly took it. She was looking between me and him but I couldn’t read the expression on her face.
“This is Grace,” he began slowly. “I am sure you can see how beautiful she is,” he pulled Grace into his lap much to my

I didn’t know what he was talking about until he kissed her. I sat there with my eyes wide unable to do anything as he devoured her mouth. She moved her hands to his head but he grabbed her wrists and pinned them behind her back. His free hand wrapped itself in her hair so he could grip it and angle her just the way he wanted. Her moans filled the air and it felt like someone was grating on my insides.
We were not officially mated so there was no pain from the bond and I was grateful for that but it didn’t stop my insides from churning. He pulled back from her lips to kiss down her neck all the way to her torso but he kept his eyes on me the entire time. I swallowed deeply and I realized that I wanted nothing to do with what was happening so I stood to my feet. I was almost at the door when he spoke.
“Stop!” the clear order in his voice had me freezing and I turned to him with anger in my eyes. He pushed Grace off him and she looked shocked and confused. “Get out,” he spoke to her but his eyes never left me.”
It
was at that moment that she realized that she had been pulled into a game of wits. She righted her dress and she brushed past me as she rushed out of the room. I heard the door click shut but my attention was not on her, it was o
on my mate who was standing to his feet and crossing the length of the room to stand directly in front of me. He lifted his hand and I stepped back from his touch. I saw the corner of his lips quirk before he wrapped his hand around my neck in a firm grip and pulled me close.
His lips brushed mine and I hated myself for the way my legs quivered. I had watched him kiss someone else but the mate bond was a powerful thing and I could not deny that I was attracted to him. I lifted my hands with the intention of pushing him away but instead they wrapped around the collar of his shirt.

“Why don’t we practice what you learned?” he asked before kissing me.
I could taste her lipstick on him and it pis sed me off. I tried to push him off but he pinned me against the wall and against my better judgement, I felt myself relax against him. He smirked against my mouth as if he knew I would do that. His kiss was like a drug, I knew I shouldn’t have it but I could not stop myself from indulging. His hand was still wrapped around my throat while his free hand trailed down my back until he got to my a ss and he squeezed. I let out a moan and it was that sound that snapped me out of my lust induced haze.

I pushed him off and placed my hand over my mouth in shock. The room was slick with the smell of and I could feel the wetness between my thighs. Zade stood in the same position I left him with a cruel smile on his face and I realized exactly what I had done.
“It seems like you’re the one who will need luck, Megan,” he teased. “All it took was one kiss and I had you dripping in my hands. Imagine what I could do if I had more time with you. I could turn you into my own f uck toy.” His words were cruel but it had me squeezing my thighs together. He noticed the action. “You would like that very much, wouldn’t you?”
“F uck you,” I managed to muster and I ran.
I was a coward because I ran without looking back. His dark laughter echoed through my cars and the halls. I needed to be within the safety of my room. My eyes blurred with unshed tears as I realized that I was slowly turning into something for him to have fun with, I was losing myself. I heard footsteps following. I tried to outrun them but I should have known better because within a second, a hand clamped around my upper arm turning me to face Landon. He looked concerned and worried.
“Are you alright?” he asked and I nodded but he was not buying it. He reached up and his thumb wiped away a stray tear. “Is there something going on that I am unaware of? Where are you coming from?”
“It doesn’t matter,” I murmured looking away from him but he wasn’t having it. He placed a hand under my chin and made me look at him. “I don’t want to talk about it.”
He looked like he was going to protest but at the last minute, he changed his mind. He smiled softly at me and took a step back before extending his hand to me. At first, I was confused because I had gotten so used to being grabbed and pulled around that I didn’t recognize when someone was making a kind gesture. I teared up more at that but I had to remind myself that breaking down here was not acceptable. I took his hand and he quietly led me down the halls.
We passed a few guards who watched us with interest but didn’t say anything. He led me out of the palace through the back door which terrified me for a second because I didn’t want Zade to be upset. We walked into

the woods and for a second, I was confused but I didn’t say a word. In that moment, I would not have protested even if he tried to kill me.
We walked in silence until we got to a clearing. It was so beautiful with a silver lake and the soft our feet. Landon led me to the edge of the lake where we sat down.

“I come here when I need to get away,” he told me. “I like the serenity and the peace. It always manages to calm me down.”
“Why did you bring me here?” I knew I sounded ungrateful but I needed to know. I needed to understand why he was being kind to me.
“Decent people help others and I would like to believe that I am a fairly decent person,” he joked and I couldn’t help but cr ack a smile. “I don’t what happened but I want you to know that I’m here. My spot is your spot, any day.”
“Thank you.”
“You don’t have to thank me, you just have to survive.”
“I don’t know how to do that.”
He smiled wryly. “You will.”
