He releases a long breath, his patience clearly reaching an end. “I’m going to go check on the remains of the very expensive jet my sister just forced me to abandon mid-landing.”

The female’s brows come down, her profile only partially in view. “Who are you?—”

He vanishes, causing her to stumble a bit.

She looks down at the gold tiles, then whirls around like she’s trying to find her brother.

Only, she finds me and Oros instead. And neither of us is gazing upon her with a favorable expression.

“Welcome to Gold Sector, Princess Mari,” Oros deadpans. “I can say with certainty that no one has ever made an entrance quite like that before.”

She has the good grace to pale slightly.

However, it’s a short-lived reaction. Because in the next breath, her pretty blue eyes narrow and she straightens her spine.

“Well, perhaps if I were a willing guest, I would have arrived by normal means. But as I’m a veryunwillingguest, it seemed more appropriate to introduce you to the chaos I’ll create should you force me to remain here.”

I gape at the little hellion who just expressed absolutely no remorse for her actions. “You would rather face your dark fate in Obsidian Sector than be our esteemed guest here?”

Those alluring eyes meet mine. “I am betrothed to Alpha Wes.”

“And do you know what kind of monster he is?” I ask her, still shocked by her insolence. Or maybe it’s her naivety that stuns me.

“I’m an Omega Princess,” she says, like that explains everything.

“I’m fully aware of who and what you are,” I reply,taking a step toward her as I weave my magic around her. “That doesn’t answer my question.”

“I’m his betrothed,” she tries again.

“And you what?” I press. “You think that’ll exempt you from his horrific preferences? That he won’t sell your Omega pussy to the highest bidder? Or try to use your pure genetics in his fucked-up breeding games?”

“Onyx,” my brother warns.

“No,” I snap at him. “This is ridiculous. She crash-lands a fucking jet into our sector, doesn’t apologize, and claims she’s in her right because she’d rather be given to a monster?”

“I warned you that she has a strong sense of duty,” Rio says as he reappears in the room. “The jet took out a few rocks near the shore, and it seems to have been contained to that area. I’ve lost a very expensive investment, but at least nothing was damaged.”

Mari finally appears to be somewhat contrite. “You lied to me.”

“I did,” he replies. “To save your life.”

“Rio—”

“No, Mari. As your Sector Prince and as your brother, I’ve made my decision. Accept it.” He looks at me. “Good luck. I’ll be in touch.”

He disappears again before I can even reply, causing me to gape at Oros.

My brother simply holds up his hands and smiles. “You suggested this alliance. I look forward to seeing how it goes.”

“Oros.”

“To echo what Rio just said, good luck,” he taunts. Then the bastard fucking ashes like Rio did.

I growl.

A sound that intensifies when I feel the little hellion try to ash, too.

Her eyes widen when she realizes she’s been grounded, her porcelain cheeks flaming a rosy shade of pink. “Unleash me.”
