DARKNESS. Thirst. Cool air and a hint of dust made me cough as I raised
my head and opened my eyes. My arms and legs flexed against restraints.
Smooth plastic secured me at wrist and ankles, hips and throat.
Whoever tied me hadn’t been careful to keep my clothing between my skin
and the nylon strapping. I also wore an undershirt and leggings that smelled
faintly of lavender, my old clothing nowhere to be seen. No boots, which
really made me mad.
Clothing and footwear must’ve smelled too much of swamp for
whoever. I could remedy that by removing their nose.
The gentle hiss of air conditioning hushed through the darkened room.
Despite the lack of light to measure it, it sounded like a small room. I
wriggled, testing the bonds. The broad straps constricted my chest, tight
bonds across my hips, knees and ankles held me secure, against the solid
chair that didn’t move when I rocked side to side either. I stretched my neck
to peer down—concrete, and the chair I sat in was bolted to it.
A door opened behind me, and I stiffened. It took an effort of will to
relax as a measured tread approached. After a few footsteps, ranks of dots
in the ceiling came to life with dim orange light.
A table and another chair faced me. My knives sat on the table. A
mirror was placed to the left, angled so I couldn’t see behind me. An
interrogation room?
“Good! You’re awake.”
My bare toes clamped down on my concrete, my fingers on the arms of
the chair.
The temper, incited by Chance’s cheerful expression, made my lips curl
into a nasty smile as he stepped into my field of view. This was the reason
my emotions had overwhelmed me earlier. Chance. My jerk of a cousin. Of
course, I’d been picking up on whatever emotions he’d been channeling
toward me. The man was a bastard to deal with.
His green-gray eyes, chill as a winter ocean, fixed on me like I was a
puzzle he’d failed to solve, and then his gaze focused on the stone on my
brow. At the flicker of rage in his eyes, I winced. I knew he’d be angry from
the moment he saw it, and it didn’t bode well that he was this furious. After
these past few years of being apart, he had no way of knowing the path I
took when I became pregnant with Dimitri, killed the wrong people, and
became an indentured.
