“Hmm.Okay, that won’t work.We’ll just keep it simple then.I’ll guide you through an escape.”
Ana thought of Raya’s prison break—how she used her Ashray ability to guide Chuck Meduse out of the prison to freedom.The other inmates had thought he was psychic or delusional.
Her cargo mates would likely come to the same conclusions about her.
“Nah, I told them you’re gifted.”
Yeah, I don’t know about that anymore.
“Stop feeling sorry for yourself and help me help you help them.”
You could let me wallow for at least ten minutes, Antony.It’s been a pretty crappy few hours and my head is still swimming.
“You’re still alive, I’m dead.I’ll give you five minutes before we start planning.”
Ana sighed.
Nope, you haven’t changed at all.
Magnus’needtofindand protect Ana warred with his desire to crush Ulla’s throat with his teeth.
He’d never wasted his time hating anyone in his life, but right now, he had nothing but time to hate Ulla.His hands curled into fists.
When they banished him, he’d lost his world.
This disconnection, this powerlessness… that was nothing compared to this.
On his feet, he paced as far as the chains would allow, which wasn’t far.
Knowing Ana was in danger while he remained trapped in this cell at Ulla’s command, tore at him.
He didn’t care that she was clearly distraught over Aksel’s current position.
That’s her problem—her fault.
There was no doubt in his mind all of this was her fault.
Barentia’s downfall would be on her head.
He just couldn’t decide if he’d seek her out and crush her before he went after Ana, or come back and do it then.
Ifhe ever got out.
No.
When.
Whenhe got out.
Ulla wanted to see him break?
Fuck her.
Rage tore through him.Pain stabbed his wrists and ankles, dropping him to his knees, forcing him to control his instinctive desire to shift into his bear.
Magnus, you can’t afford broken wrists and ankles.Ana needs you.
He ground his teeth against the pain, forcing his animal to calm.
