For a long moment, Eryx just stands there in the doorway, motionless, his eyes locked on Mira.
He says nothing, his presence alone fills the dungeon with a heavy, stifling weight, and still, Mira cannot stop panicking.
She doesn't dare meet his gaze.
Because all she can think about.. all she can feel, is that this is the man who fathered the child growing inside her.
This is the Alpha whose blood runs through the tiny heartbeat she carries, and now that he's standing just a few feet away, she can't even imagine the disgust he would feel when he knows that a servant is carrying his child.
To him, she's nothing more than a servant. Just a servant. A lowly omega who was never supposed to matter, He hadn't even approved of his own brother being close to her. And now this?
She wants to shrink into the stone beneath her, to disappear. For a second, she wonders what's left to fight for?
