Arianna’s breath hitched, shock clear in her silver eyes as they stared down at the male whose arms were wrapped possessively around her waist.

His words echoed in her mind, making her heart hammer hard in her chest.

Treasure. He called her treasure.

A light giggle escaped her lips before she could stop it, her fingers reading through the king’s long, dark hair.

“Alright, my king,” she whispered.

Duncan glanced at the male kneeling with ragged breathis. “You are not to look away, Kael. Do you understand?”

Kael was on the brink of tears. He couldn’t feel any of his limbs. Each breath was like a stab to his lungs. Everything hurt. So much.

He had thought escaping the Silver three days.

A

Ould be a break from the torture–something he had craved for the past two to

But at this moment, he felt worse, watching the woman he had once betrayed sitting on the king’s lap. Straddling him as if she had no care in the world.

Awhip cracked against his back, sending searing pain through his system. He barely let out a whimper, his voice already lost from the endless screams of torture.

Shaking violently, he managed to speak. “Y…yes, Your Grace.”

Hot tears slipped from his eyes, rolling down his cheeks, the salty fluid stinging as it touched his already wounded skin.

Duncan returned his gaze to Arianna, reached for the steak, and stabbed another piece, bringing it to her lips. She parted them, taking the bite with a smile, her gaze never leaving the king.

Kael felt every shred of his sanity shatter. Who would have thought that watching his ex–mate would trigger anything in him?

Over the years, Arianna was just a pawn. A simple product of the man who murdered his father. After ordering her to be killed, he felt a slight twinge of guilt but blamed it on the mate bond. Yet, as time passed, Kael didn’t regret his actions.

He felt nothing for her… so why?

Why did the walls of his heart feel as though they were pressing against each other?

The real question was–how the fuck did she win the king’s heart? She was the king’s slave, as Toran had mentioned… that bastard. Kael should have been suspicious when Toran kept asking about Arianna.

They had fooled him!

Arianna fed the king, then watched as he chewed gently with a smile. The sense of possession between them was clear, choking Kael deep down his throat.

Duncan took a sip of his wine, and when Arianna moved to feed him again, he kissed her instead.

His mouth claimed hers, her moan piercing the air–a pure form of torture in Kael’s ears, sending him spiraling into helplessness.

Their kiss turned wild. Kael could see their tongues rolling against each other.

Kael grew more restless.

Please stop…

Stop…

Stop!

“Stop!”

Kael hadn’t realized the words had slipped out. He was shaking. Really shaking.

Duncan and Arianna’s lips parted, slightly swollen and wet. The king lazily brushed his tongue over his lower lip, then bit it.

His jaw clenched, and ever so slowly, he fixed his gaze on Kael, who flinched at the intensity.

“What did you just say?” he questioned.

Kael began to sweat profusely.

Had he said that out loud?

“Come on, Kael. Don’t be shy,” Duncan taunted, adding fuel to the fire already consuming hitm

“She is still alive… that means she is still my wife.”

He actually spoke. Kael, why the hell won’t you shut

The king would definitely kill him for that. Rip him apart and serve his flesh to the dungeon beasts.

Instead, Duncan did the unexpected. He laughed.

The sound was like a punch to Kael’s ego, making every nerve in his body scream to disappear.

It was just too cruel.

“Your wife?” Duncan repeated, his dark eyes sending a chill down Kael’s spine. “You fucking asshole, how dare you call her

that?”

Kael swallowed hard, keeping his mouth shut.

Arianna’s silver eyes met his for a fleeting moment. Anger? Disappointment? Or maybe both. Then she turned away, returning her attention to Duncan, proving Kael was nothing but worthless to her.

She didn’t even speak to him. Not a single word.

“I should thank you, Kael. If you hadn’t acted like a coward, I would still be brooding in my loneliness. Truly, every disappointment is a blessing.”

The king’s fingers played with Arianna’s hair.

“Truly,” Arianna agreed, resting her forehead against his.

And Duncan smiled.

His dangerous aura vanished completely.

Nyra found Evelora enjoying the fresh air at the top of her building a cup of tea in hand. Her grey hair, packed in a bun, blew

behind her.

“Sneaking out of the palace again?” Evelora turned her head slightly. “If the king finds out, I won’t cover for you.”

“It’s an important discussion, great one,” Nyra stepped forward. “You asked me to tell you what I heard in th anyone else.”

Evelora stayed quiet for a moment before exhaling. “Take a seat-
