I was wedged between my demon king’s thighs, my back to his chest, protected in his arms. “Perhaps Vodan can help you once the time comes.” “Wherever Kakkari leads us,” he answered. “We will spend long months here,” he assured me, his lips brushing the outer edge of my ear, making me shiver. I was discovering that Seerin liked to put up a good fight whenever we disagreed on something, but that nothing pleased him more than pleasing me. But I cherished the quiet, private time I had with my demon king and I was loathe to give it up.Įventually, as he always did, he gave into my pleas. The baby would come at any moment now and he worried that riding Lokkas would be too strenuous for me. Though, lately, he’d protested whenever I’d suggested it.
Seerin and I rode out on Lokkas often to this very place in the valley. The cold season was gone, leaving in its wake warmer nights and a sense of relief. The horde of Rath Tuviri had only been there for a handful of weeks, but already I mourned when we would move on from this place. “I never want to leave the southlands,” I confessed softly. In the distance, I heard the echoing of the waterfall in the Hitri mountains, which reverberated across the entire valley on calm nights, which could be heard even from our encampment. In it, I saw a herd of wrissan, sleeping for the night, protected by a river at their backs. We were sitting on a moss covered hill which revealed a mesmerizing view of the deep valley below. “I’m just thinking that it’s a beautiful night,” I whispered, leaning my head back against his chest. “It drives me mad not knowing sometimes.” “Tell me what you are thinking of, rei thissie,” Seerin murmured in my ear, his arms tightening around me. Three, the sweet, light scent of jikkio blossoms and of my husband’s heady, intoxicating musk. Two, a hint of warmth on the breeze across my cheeks. I look into his grey eyes and see not a monster, but a demon king who captures my soul.īut demons have a way of never letting go…and as the cold season descends upon Dakkar, I begin to wonder if I even want him to, even when it hurts.One, the bright stars overhead, twinkling like fat silver jewels. I make bargains with him on starry, cold nights.
He steals me from my village and brings me back to his battle-bred horde. Instead of taking my life, he claims me as his own. When my desperate actions catch the attention of a Dakkari horde king-a cold, powerful, and merciless warrior leader, with eyes like flint and a body like steel-he seeks to punish me…and he succeeds. I hunt to survive, though it is forbidden, though it breaks the strict Dakkari laws that we all must follow. In my human settlement on the hostile plains of Dakkar, I am an outcast, a strange girl orphaned since birth, alone, and dreaming of a life I don’t have.
