Ryker was visibly confused. Marcus acted like he just jumped Oriena for sport. The bitch wouldn’t stop picking at him. Her goading went back to the first time they met. Almost like the wanted the attention. Wanted the pain. He had been furious at her. Sight bleeding. Lungs roaring red. He wanted to crush her with his bare hands.
Moments before, however, his focus was entirely on Yun Kao. Then he looked at Oriena, and it was like the world pivoted to put her at the center.
Ryker could sense the power probing at him while his own was uselessly out of reach.
Then Marcus called for release, and the sounds of chains jerking on their bolts shook with Ryker’s movement. He heard the final order, and knew in his gut that the guards would do as told. They’d likely enjoy it.
“No. You can't leave me here!” he cried out, but Marcus was already gone.
