Chapter 0295

Nodding at Nicholas, I moved past him and returned to his rooms. He released me at once and fell in step behind me instead.

Inside his rooms, I moved toward Lilliana, who was down on one of the ornate rugs. Her legs were kicked out of her, her nightgown drawn up to her hips. She peered up with a sultry look, likely expecting Nicholas.

She sighed when she saw it was me, but didn’t move much otherwise.

“I should have known he’d invite you too. Well, it’s all the same, really. I can do a three some if that’s what he wants. What do I care anymore?”

“Uh, no,” I said at once, taken aback both by the sudden and inappropriate offer, as well as her resignation to it. This had to be the worst seduction in the history of wolf-kind.

She clearly wasn’t into any of this. Was this what she thought she had to do to maintain Nichola s’s interest? Surrender her body without passion or desire for the sake of a crown?

My anger slowly dimmed and I felt pity instead.

What a sad life, to never be able to live for herself. To sacrifice so much for power alone. Did she even like Nicholas at all? Did she find him as se xy as I did? Did she gravitate toward his generous, caring heart like me?

It sure didn’t seem like it. Instead, it seemed like she wanted this to be over as fast as possible so she could sleep.
