Fiona’s POV
My stomach churned the mont Allen’s figure ca into view, moving toward . I gritted my teeth and curled my hands into fists. Just seeing him made feel sick to my core.
"What are you doing by yourself?" Allen positioned himself directly in front of while I remained seated, forcing to tilt my head back to et his gaze.
I hated being looked down on like this, so I started to get up and walk away, but Allen’s hand landed on my shoulder, pushing back down.
"No, stay right there." Allen’s lips curved into a nasty smile. "I prefer the view from this angle."
It didn’t take much imagination to figure out what twisted thoughts were running through Allen’s mind. "Take your hands off ," I said firmly. I kept my tone quiet, but the fury behind my words was unmistakable.
I didn’t want to draw attention from others, though barely anyone else was around.
The briny ocean air filled my nostrils, making everything worse.
"Mmm. I’ve gotten off on you plenty of tis before, haven’t I?"
"Touch and I’ll toss you straight into that ocean!" I warned him, but Allen just laughed at my rage.
"You can’t be serious, can you? You need . Do you really think those border guards will let you through without backing you up? They’ll slaughter you the second they find out you’re from Mya Kingdom. You need , Fiona. Your whole group does.
You won’t make it without ."
Allen spoke the truth, and I despised him for it.
"Keep away from . I won’t feed into your sick fantasies." I knocked his hand off my shoulder again and tried to rise, but Allen shoved back down. He glowered at for being so defiant.
"You look adorable when you fight back, but I don’t think you want to bring others over here."
Allen ran his tongue across his lips. "Just be a good girl and take it." He pulled down his zipper and freed his hardened length. "It’s been way too long, I’ve been craving you."
I wanted to retch. I struggled when Allen seized my hair and tried to force my face toward his mber.
"I’ll scream if you try that!"
"Go ahead, scream and let everyone know you’re carrying my pup. What do you think? Won’t that be wonderful news?" Allen cackled because he knew I wouldn’t dare.
I loathed him with every fiber of my being, and the idea of others discovering I was pregnant with his child would destroy .
"Perfect. Now, be a good girl and take it."
Allen was about to thrust his mber toward my mouth, but suddenly soone tapped his shoulder, startling him. He spun around quickly to find Reginald standing there.
"That can wait. I need you to go over so things with alpha Sterling." Reginald didn’t even glance my way, but his jaw clenched tight, and his grip on Allen’s shoulder tightened as well.
"Can’t it wait? Can’t you see I’m enjoying myself here? Let unwind a little," Allen complained. He tried to shake off Reginald’s grip, but it was too strong, almost painful.
"Now. This is urgent. We’re almost at Valerium territory." Reginald held his ground, and Allen could sense it. This man wasn’t going anywhere.
"Alright, alright!" Allen grumbled in frustration, then released . I imdiately shot to my feet.
My face had turned crimson from both anger and sha. I hated being seen in this position, especially by Reginald.
"Return to your room and stop wandering around," Reginald told , his voice harsh, as if he was barely containing his own anger, or maybe that was just my imagination.
"Okay." I left imdiately. I didn’t look back and hurried to my bedroom on the lower deck. I felt completely humiliated.
The desire to kill Allen burned fiercely inside .

Phoebe’s POV
I’d never been to this place before, but I could tell it was very close to the forest behind the palace.
This was on the opposite side of that forest.
What’s more, I could still make out the palace tower from my current location.
The house wasn’t particularly large, containing several bedrooms. My room was on the second floor, with Justin taking the other one up there, while the remaining warriors occupied the bedrooms downstairs.
Besides Justin and Wade, there was a stocky shifter who looked like he worked construction. His na was Orion.
Only these warriors would be staying with until the king ca back, which ant I might be here for months.
The only other people who knew where I was were Timothy and elder Tricia.
Perry had taken this precaution because the last ti he’d left, the other elders had enjoyed flexing their authority and compelling to fulfill my duties as queen.
Even though it fell under my responsibilities as queen, and the elders weren’t technically wrong, they’d demanded I perform my duties out of spite.
What had happened at the main gates to Central City was proof of that. Perry simply didn’t want the sa thing to happen again.
Not to ntion how many tis intruders had managed to breach the palace walls. It was troubling to think how badly our security had deteriorated and how people could enter and leave as they wished.
"Would you like sothing to eat, my queen?" Justin asked. He and the other warriors had been very concerned about , because they could sense sothing was wrong.
I shook my head. I didn’t feel hungry, but then I rembered that I wasn’t just eating for myself anymore, but also for my baby. I needed to keep myself in good shape.
I then nodded, which left Justin looking puzzled.
"Do you want to eat?" Justin asked again to make sure.
I nodded wearily.
