---- How is Lady Freya doing?" I ask, changing the subject as I massage her waist.
"Shes much better.
The castle doctor is very competent, and Lavinia has practically become her nanny, even reading to her at night," she sighs, relaxing into my body.
We savor these quiet moments together, simply touching, breathing the same air.
"Darling, what will you do about Duke Thesio? I dont think its wise to expose him for witchcraft, Elliot..." she suddenly turns to me.
Inod, placing the empty cup on the table.
"T know.
Besides, the evidence was destroyed instantly, and though some remains, I dont want the Regent snooping around in our territory.
"'So what will you do? And worse...
could Thesio also be a supernatural being?" she asks, so clever.
Thats one of the things I love about her.
"I dont think so.
He must have someone working for him, and thats what we need to uncover," I reply, caressing her cheek.
}ont worry.
Thesio is terrified nowhe thinks I might act against him.
I'll take advantage of that, strip him of more land and the resources he stole from me," I confide my plans.
"T dont trust that Zafiro woman either.
She knows your secret.
You told me shes a she-wolf...
that damn bitch," she mutters through gritted teeth.
---- I still remember our scorching make-up sex in the bathroom, right after she threw everything in her path at me in a jealous fit.

Ive already received reports, shes staying at Thesios estate, and it looks like theyre preparing their wedding..." "what?!" Katherine tenses, staring at me in fear.
"Shes going to betray you!" "Baby, its not in her best interest for Thesio to know about her kind.
He could report her, even have her executed himself.
Besides, she has no proofits her word against mine." "something tells me Brenda is planning a major move." I stroke her hair, calming her.
Ive considered every possibility.
Brendas house is being watched, and her parents cant leave my lands.
If she tries anything, Ill need hostages.
I'm sorry, but for my family, Im willing to become the most ruthless and cruel man in this land.
"Do you think she...
wants to get pregnant by the Duke and then...? " She drags her finger across her throat in a gesture of execution.
Inod.
Thats exactly what I believe.
Brenda never submitted to Thesio out of love for me...
what a load of bullshit.
---- She avoided exposing herself to such a powerful noble, an Elemental Duke.
Katherine's expression and words remind me of something, and my playful side reawakens Just like another woman I once knew.
To hold onto her title as Duchess, she was willing to violate a poor, unsuspecting man in his sleep..." "Elliot!" She smacks my chest, her cheeks burning, before hiding her face in the crook of my neck.
