DARIUS POV
It was taking all my willpower to keep my face blank and let this snake touch me. Her touch repulsed me and burned my skin.
But I let her continue to think she had won here. I was a predator, I liked to hunt and taunt my prey before I struck.
But Zara here had been the one to hunt me out. When we were done finalizing the deal and signing documents for our new alliance, I wanted to go find Ravenna.
I knew she was hurting despite how high she held her chin earlier. I knew because her body had remained tense. And I could see it all in her beautiful eyes.
And so I wanted to find her, and touch her, and kiss her and just f*****g love her.
But then this snake had found me when I came outside my room, had dragged me to the guest floor claiming Alpha Hale had entrusted her wit
