“It’s ugly, I know. But it’s a reminder,” I say, waiting for him to grimace or make a scathing remark. “It’s not ugly at all. It’s noble.” I let out a small huff. “Noble?” “It speaks to something important about your character that you wear it so proudly. I’ve never, for one moment, thought it was ugly. I remember the first time I saw you at the ball, how beautiful you were.”
The prince wants something from you, but it is not your power.
The royal family wears black. Nadir’s companions wear black. But I am not his conquest. I am not his to claim. I’m not part of their royal line. I have my own family. And I am my own fucking castle.
I have no interest in anyone else. As long as there’s the slightest chance you’ll let me touch you again, I have eyes only for you.”
History isn’t exactly history when those who lived through it are still amongst us.”
“Oh, the younger Sun Prince is not the next Primary. It wouldn’t have been an issue.”
“Well, they don’t know he isn’t,“
“You’re going to pay for that later, Inmate.” “Only if I let you,”
“Aren’t I supposed to wear black?” “Why would I care about that?” “Doesn’t black tell everyone I belong to you?” I say with a roll of my eyes. “I don’t need a dress for anyone to see that.”
“Am I getting my underwear back this time?” He gives me a predatory grin. “Definitely not.”
“Fine,” Nadir snarls, his entire demeanor shifting. “Go back to Vale. Spread your legs for him.” I stare at him, my mouth dropping open. Despite what I just said, those words tear an open gash through my soul. “How dare you?” I take a step back, needing space. “Is that what you did for Atlas, too?”
But then he had to try to claim me as his, and I can’t allow that. He can talk about his possessive Fae nature all he wants, but I’m not a prize for him to stake his flag.
I will never belong to anyone ever again.
