Page 39 of Hell Fae Prince

Zakkai paused a foot away from me, his magic prodding mine as it always did when I visited. Only this time, he didn’t even try to hide his intrigue, instead weaving his power through mine in an attempt to learn it for himself.

“It won’t work,” I told him, my voice betraying my exhaustion. “For as powerful as you are, my essence is supremely other. Your Source came from mine. To try to understand it—torewriteit—is impossible.”

He pulled his power back a fraction, but not completely. “You’re a threat.”

“Of course I am. But so are you.” I cocked my head. “Do you want to measure wands, Zakkai?”

“I want to protect my mates.”

“As do I.”

His jaw ticked, his silver-blue eyes tracking over me as his long white hair billowed in an invisible breeze. “Walk with me.”

“I’m not one who typically follows demands well,” I warned him. “Just ask Ty.” But I pushed away from the wall anyway and waved a hand, signaling for Zakkai to lead. “So just be aware that I’m following out of curiosity. Nothing more.”

He shrugged. “I just thought you might want to leave before your mate starts screaming the names of other men.”

With that, he turned.

She might scream their names, but it’s my essence permeating her skin when she comes,I thought, my focus shifting to the female in the room beside me. Her mind was utterly consumed by Ajax and Az as they worshipped her with their mouths, her beautiful form writhing between them like the goddess she was.

They’d decided to take turns with her pussy rather than introducing her to anal play. A shame. I suspected my angel would enjoy being filled on both sides.

Maybe Ty and I would have the opportunity to introduce her to it soon.

If she ever accepts me,a dark voice whispered. My lips curled down at the unwanted thought. It was unbidden and entirely unwelcome.

Camillia De la Croix was mine. She’d been mine from the moment I’d found her reading Vita in the library.

Your agitation is making it difficult to focus, little prince,Ty murmured into my mind.Is your meeting not going well?

I blinked, realizing Zakkai was waiting with an expectant expression at the end of the corridor.No, it’s just beginning.

Is Zakkai threatening you?Ty asked, suddenly even more alert.Shall I join you?

Zakkai is fine. I’m…My brow furrowed.Az and Ajax are playing with Cami, and I wish I could join them. But they don’t want me there. And it’s…I trailed off, irritated.It’s nothing. I’ll be fine.

My king obviously understood what I was feeling because he softly replied,They’re fools not to want you, Melek. You’ll have your revenge one day… with your ribbons.

I smiled at the notion his words provoked in my mind—an image of Cami tied up and begging me to let her come, all while I teased her like she was doing to me now.Hmm.That was a nice distraction.Go back to Maliki,I told Ty as I started after Zakkai, my mood instantly improved.

I’ve already released him,Ty informed me.

I stopped walking.That quickly?

Hades appeared.

My eyebrows rose.And?

And he’s still here.

Oh.I canted my head.That’s interesting.

Indeed.

I resumed walking.Well, let me know if he says anything intriguing.

Hmm,Ty hummed back, his way of agreeing.
