She touched his arm gently. “Please,” Tem whispered. For a long moment, he didn’t react. Then he uncurled his fingers, letting his hands hang loose at his sides. They entered the cave. Leo was leaning against the wall but straightened when he saw them. He immediately glanced at Tem before looking at Caspen. A long…

Leo was smart. He knew that the timing of this meeting was not accidental, that surely, the basilisks were planning to take down the royals. He didn’t know about the crest-he had no clue that his father’s free will was being used as a bargaining chip. But there was no need for him to know….

Tem knew Caspen would never agree to meet with Leo. Their last meeting had gone so poorly, she wasn’t at all optimistic about how things would go if he saw the prince again. But even if Tem wanted to ask Caspen for a meeting, she wouldn’t be able to anyway-their mental connection was so weak,…

She shook her head. “No. He doesn’t. Not anymore.” “Of course he does, Tem. He is no different from his father. He will never show us mercy. He would have us all killed.” “Leo is not his father.” Caspen stepped closer. Tem resisted stepping back. “You are a fool if you believe that.” Anger coiled…

“Leo,” she whispered back. They moved in perfect unison. Tem touched every part of his body, digging her fingernails into his back as his thrusts deepened. His cock roused something within her-something that had patiently waited until now to emerge. She wanted more of him. She wanted him to stake his claim on her. She…

“Kora,” he breathed. His other hand was on her hip. His fingernails dug into her skin, coaxing her forward. The time to be still had passed. Tem rode him slowly, splaying her hands flat on his torso. Both his hands went to her breasts, giving them a hard squeeze before gripping her hips once more….

It was progress. “Caspen told me I was a hybreed.” “A hybreed?” “Half human, half basilisk.” “How did he know?” Tem raised her hands, showing Leo the freckles on her palms. “These,” she said as he looked at them. “My father has the same ones. He passed them on to me.” Leo pressed his lips…

“End things with him, Tem. Or I’m marrying Vera.” He was gone before she could even blink. Tem didn’t know what to do with herself. She couldn’t end things with Caspen. It wasn’t an option. But she couldn’t get eliminated either. She had to marry Leo. Needed to marry Leo. One question remained. Why had…

Tem nodded. Something else occurred to her. “You can’t tell him I’m showing you this.” Now Leo hesitated. The curiosity she’d sensed earlier reared its head again. She knew he understood that she was asking him to choose between her and his own father. Leo made his choice: “I will not tell him. You have…

At the sound of his name, Kronos opened his eyes, and Leo took a step backward. Tem retained her grip on his hand, forcing him to remain next to her. “My mother went through the same training I did. She fell in love, just like I did.” Leo shook his head slowly, his eyes locked…
