“You see,” Deirdre said, shoving me through the crowd, which barely parted enough to let me through without bumping against the men, “once the Royue King, bas his way with you and you give birth to his pups, you’ll belong to the entire camp. They can take turns fucking you as they please, or as a group, if they feel like it. 11’% important to spread the genes, after all, but as for you? Your feelings don’t matter p>
My throat bobbed. So she was saying I would be a sex slave after the Rogue King, was done with me, With the way these men were already looking at me, I wasn’t surprised.
Fuck. I had to get out of here,
The stares followed me all the way to Asher kept my head held high, refusing to let them affected me.

Inside, Asher was already sitting, in front of a breakfast spread. The moment he saw me, he shot to his feet, “Avery!” he gasped. What are you wearing? I can see everything p>
1 tucked my chin and glared at Deirdre, I didn’t even have to say anything. Asher grabbed the wolf pelt from his throne and rushed over, draping it around my shoulders.
“This was your doing?” he growled, whirling on her. He pulled me away from her and held me tight against his body. I tried not to think about the fact that it should have been Gideon who was holding me like that. I also tried not to think about the dead wolf’s face that was currently perched on top of my head, which made me want to retch.
Deirdre stared at him. “You told me to bring her something suitable to wear. I thought p>
“You marched her through the camp like a common whore! Exposed her private bits to everyone! She’s a princess, you fool! She’s mine p>
Deirdre’s mouth opened and closed a few times without sound. She looked at me, and I realized that she hadn’t expected Asher to stand up for me. Maybe she really had deluded herself into thinking that I would be at her mercy here.
Even as a captive of the Rogue King, I supposed I was still above her. And she couldn’t handle that.
Before Deirdre could answer, Asher snapped his fingers at the guard standing

nearby. The male walked over to her and grabbed her arm.
“H-Hey! What are you p>
“You’re demoted, Deirdre. Effective immediately.” Asher’s voice was cold. “Take her to the other slaves. From now on, she’s one of them p>
“S-Stop! I didn’t know! I didn’t…” Deirdre’s voice faded into the distance as the guard dragged her away. I let out a small breath I didn’t know I had been holding once she was gone.
Asher turned to me and gripped me by both shoulders. “You’re mine, Avery. No one else’s. Don’t forget that p>
“She told me I would become the camp’s sex slave,” I blurted out.
His eyes-eye-darkened. “Like I said, you’re mine.” The possessiveness in his voice made me want to shudder, but I bit back the urge. I didn’t want him to see how his words affected me.
But one thing was for certain: I was getting the fuck out of this place before anyone touched me. Even him.
Asher guided me over to the table and sat me down on one of the chairs. A spread of food was waiting for me. Toast, eggs, some fresh fruit. It looked good, and after last night, I knew I needed to keep up my strength. So I ate, if only for my baby’s sake.
That was a mistake. The moment the eggs touched my tongue, the scent overwhelmed me. The pregnancy hormones turned the mundane food into a riot of stomach-churning scents and textures, and I gagged.
“Avery?” Asher looked up as I shot to my feet with my hand over my mouth. “What’s wrong p>
I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. I rushed over to the folding screen in the corner and dropped to my knees beside the chamber pot. The scent of urine only made the sensation worse, and I vomited up what little was left in my stomach.
When I was finished, I sat back on my heels gasping, and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. A shadow fell over me then, and I froze,
I looked up and over my shoulder to see Asher standing over me, staring at the mess I’d left in his chamber pot.
