Cold. So fucking cold, like the air was licking my skin with icy
abandon.
I reached for my cover, but no matter how far I stretched, I couldn’t grab
hold of it. My head was killing me, and without opening my eyes, I dropped
my hand.
That’s when I realized something was very wrong. My arm touched a hard
surface, biting my skin worse than the air. Where was I? Where was my
warm bed?
My eyelids flew open, and my breath caught as if I’d been plunged into an
icy lake. Once my vision got used to the dim, gray light, I whimpered in
pure terror.
I lay on a stone floor, its ice-veined surface clinging to my skin. The
metallic aftertaste of enchantments lingered in my mouth, and my legs were
so cold, they felt like they didn’t belong to me.
Ice glinted on the window bars of a solid door. The numbing chill seeped
through my skin, leaching the warmth from my bones. I sat up, my joints
creaking, and hugged my knees as my teeth chattered. The stench of
dampness and mold hung in the air. In the distance, something yowled once

Whoever had put me here had stripped and left me in a coarse shift dress
several sizes too big. They hadn’t added underwear, and my ass was
freezing against the stone floor.
Panic rose again, tightening my chest. Lowering my head between my
knees, I forced myself to slow down my breathing. If I wanted to survive
this, I needed to calm the fuck down and think.
When I could breathe without hyperventilating, I called out, “Hello?
Anybody?”
I didn’t know what I expected. Bleddyn to open the door with an apology?
I’d only just admitted to myself I’d caught feelings for the Fae, but there
was a less than zero chance he’d show up to save me.
With fake bravado, I shouted, my voice hoarse and raspy. “You’re not
gonna break me, you bastards.”
The only answer to my cries was silence, broken by screams in the far
distance. Groaning like an old woman, I struggled to my feet, regretting it
