“Run as fast as you can! They are coming after you!” Kept ringing in Sian’s head. The slave that her mate had ordered to follow her lifted his face towards her for one second with an expression of amazement and lust as she was stripping off her clothes to shift.
She scowled at him and he lazily looked away.
She shifted and grabbed her clothes between her teeth, shaking out her limbs. She could see the servant taking his time to appreciate the raw strength that ran along the muscles in her legs.
Something was not right and then it clicked.
All other guards and servants in the castle had been killed asides him!
He was one of them. A traitor!
Hiding her terror, she nudged him with her shoulder and they both took off in the dark shafts, barely lighted by the torches rowed along the wall.
AUuuuuuuu!
The howls echoed in the shaft and Sian’s heart was beating faster, she should have left Valeria in search of their king as soon as her mate had instructed her.
