“I don’t know what to do,” Tem whispered. “I swore I would protect you,” Apollo said quietly. “But I cannot protect you from yourself.” Tem nodded because she couldn’t seem to speak anymore. She understood exactly what he was telling her. If everything fell apart-if her love for Leo destroyed her relationship with Caspen-it would…

“You were willing to share me,” she whispered. “What changed?” “Your feelings for him.” “Those have always been the same.” Caspen just shook his head, smoke still curling around him. “Well, what did you think I felt for him?” Tem cried. Caspen spread his arms wide. “Infatuation. Lust. Either of those I could tolerate forever….

If I am so pathetic, why not stand up? Why do you linger? Why indeed. Part of Tem wanted to stand up. But the other part couldn’t. The other part was drawn to Rowe’s cock because it was a source of power in and of itself. It felt inexplicably good in her core, filling her…

Tem understood their awe. It was an honor to be ridden by the queen-even more so to be ridden by a Hybreed. Tem had never experienced such a pull toward so many people at once before. Apollo and Caspen were just two men. Now there were eleven standing before her, rigid and willing and waiting….

Tem wanted nothing more. She wanted to come to him-to come for him. Apollo was a familiar face in this long line of strangers, and familiarity was what Tem craved in this moment.

But Tem barely heard her. Rowe had won. Everything was lost. “You must remember that your heart will make the ultimate choice. All this means is that Rowe has earned a spot in the third tier. That is all.” “That’s all?” But that was a disaster. That guaranteed Tem would have to fuck him. How…

Adelaide turned to her. “What is it, Temperance?” “I feel…” But how to say it? Adelaide raised an eyebrow, waiting patiently for her to elaborate. But Tem couldn’t find the words. Men were fighting over her, and it was turning her on, and although her human side was horrified at the proceedings, the basilisk side…

Tem turned to Adelaide. “Apollo is coming.” “Good.” But even this development was not enough to soothe Tem. “Caspen has no plan,” she said, voicing the thing that weighed on her the most. “He isn’t prepared. He thinks he will win just because he has more to lose.” “You cannot expect him to prepare as…

“Because you are not well.” It wasn’t a question, and Tem couldn’t fathom why he would say that to her. “Excuse me? I’m perfectly fine.” “No.” Apollo leaned in. “You are not. You have been different since the night I taught you to petrify. You eat less. You do not sleep. Something is affecting you.”…
