Summary
The act is unceremonious, in the end. The sealing of a sacred bond crumbles under the weight of the black market gamble that led to this moment.
She does not see his face.
All Alina knows of her Alpha is the sweep of her hair over her shoulder and a rough thumb dragging across a mating gland on the back of her neck that will not bear sensation for years to come. Not until she matures, until she is on the cusp of her first heat. A second death of adolescence that will follow her first.
All she knows of her Alpha is warm breath fanning the skin of her neck, followed by the puncture of an abrupt bite. Her whimper and the sob building in her throat are snuffed as a dangerous euphoria floods her; poison fed to prey. That which allows the predator to feed without resistance.
All she knows of her Alpha is a large hand squeezing her frail shoulder as she slumps back against the chair.
A whisper breathed against her ear.
“That’s a good girl, pup.”
--
When Alina fails to go into heat, she is sent to live with her Alpha five years prior to their arranged wedding. Her Alpha, who is the King of Ravka and who she has shared a dark connection with since he marked her a decade ago.
