Ty would understand. And if he didn’t, I would drown him in my logic until he agreed.

Or make him a deal he couldn’t refuse.

Just the thought had my lips curling in excitement.Yes. A deal is the way to my mate’s heart.

I released Cami and she curled into herself, blinking hard as her eyes flashed with the golden echo of my soul. “What…wasthat?”

Instead of answering, I brushed another kiss against her cheek. “Good night, little angel.”

I backed away, leaving Cami standing on her dirty rug.

“Oh, and remember that creation spell I taught you. Consider using it to indulge in another cupcake. You deserve it.” I winked and locked the cell door behind me.

Then I walked out of eyesight.

And engaged my wings.

CHAPTERFIFTEEN

TYPHOS

My eyes flew open,the power pulsing through my heart ancient and overwhelming.

Melek.

I sat up to find our bed empty, the silky black sheets twisting against my hips.

What have you done?I demanded, instantly initiating my link to him.

Shh,he hushed.I’ll be back to explain soon.

Those were not comforting words, not when I couldfeelhis bond inside me pulsing with a new soul link.Tell me you didn’t bond that female.

You said no tangible gifts,he returned softly.This is hardly tangible, my lord.

Melek,I growled, rolling out of the bed to find my pants. My fucking mate was always impulsive. But to mate a captive?I thought you wanted a pet, not a bride.

He didn’t reply.

Something that only infuriated me more.

I’m going to make you fucking bleed,I threatened.

I know.He sounded almost excited by the prospect.

Fucking masochist. I ran my fingers through my hair, the edges flirting with my shoulders. This… this wasn’t just unexpected; it wasunprecedented.

Virtuous bonds were for life, even at the Spiritual Vow level.

The ancient incantation served as a binding contract, displaying the promise of intention. Initial power exchange would occur—which was probably what had woken me up. It wouldn’t be overwhelming or even all that noticeable to the candidate, but I’d felt the disturbance to the source.

Because Melek was mated to me.

His soul was mine.

Just as mine was his.

And he’d tainted that bond with this new link.
