I had to say it was a lie.But the words were a dry whisper, lost in the storm. âI didnâtâŠâEric didnât even look at me. He was holding Lupiter, stroking her perfect golden hair as she cried fake tears into his shirt. He cut me off before I could even start.âEnough!â he roared, his voice silencing everything. His eyes, when they finally landed on me, were not just angry. They were ice-cold. âYou attack the blessed one? You draw her blood?â His face was twisted with hate.

OLIVIAThe air was knocked out of me as I hit the dirt floor of the pit. For a second, there was just shock and the smell of dry earth. Then, the hissing became a whole nightmare. The first bite was a hot, sharp sting on my ankle. A jolt of pure fire shot up my leg. I screamed, kicking out blindly.But it was too late. They were everywhere.Another bite, on my calf. Another, on my arm as I tried to push myself up. The pain wasn't like anything I'd ever felt. It was a deep, burning poison that spread under my skin, turning my blood to lava. I was thrashing, sobbing, my screams tearing my raw throat.I could feel them, coiling over my legs, their cool, smooth scales sliding against my blistered skin. They were feasting on me. Each new bite was a fresh explosion of agony. Through my tears and the swirling dust, I saw the biggest one. It was thick as my arm, lifting its head. It rose up right in front of my face. Its black, unblinking eyes stared into mine. Its forked tongue flicked out
*** OLIVIA *** It wasnât like walking into a warm room. It was like a hot wet blanket had been thrown over my head and stuffed into my mouth. The air was thick and heavy with heat. I gasped, but the air I breathed in was scorching. It burned my throat and lungs. I scrambled to my feet, my eyes flying to the thermometer on the wall. The needle was already climbing. At 60°C my skin prickled, sweat instantly beading on my forehead. Then 70°C⊠my face flushed a deep, painful red. The steam, oozing from the corner wrapped around me like ghostly hands, squeezing my chest. Each breath was a fight. I was panting, but it didnât help. My heart was pounding too fast.

I sat in the back seat, my hands clenched in my lap, staring at the space where Lupiter sat up front with Eric, chattering excitedly about coming home, about her new clothes, about everything. She didnât look at me once. The beautiful sceneryâthe tall, familiar green trees, the grey mountains Iâd known my whole lifeâpassed by like a painting in a museum I was locked out of. It was all just a path leading back to my cage.The car rolled to a stop and my stomach dropped with it.Eric killed the engine. Lupiter was already bouncing in the front seat, eyes bright.People were gathered on the wide front steps. Pack members, warriors, maids, guards, even elders.

He smiled, but it wasn't a warm smile. It was the smile of a man who held power and knew it.âFather!â L
