Chapter 66 

Is she…is she really saying what I think she is saying? 

That can’t be…I think back 

on the past month and realize…that my period has been late…how stupid can I 

be?! How did I not realize?! 

Oh my–no…this can’t be! 

Kanda sees the panic on my 

face. 

“What is it?” 

“I…no…I can’t…” 

Not now. Not while I am in 

here. 

“Did you not suspect it at 

all?” She asks. 

“No! I…I’ve been so out of 

touch with myself lately. I…I just can’t imagine it.” 

Is this really…real? 

I mean…how dumb am I? I 

know how babies are made 

so how stupid can I really 

be?! How did I not think that 

having constant s*x with 

Colt would not result in this? 

Not once did I give 

protection a thought. I am 

not sure he even thought 

about it either. We both have 

been in this blissful little 

bubble. Like two idiots. 

I am in deep shock. I am not sure I am ready for this, actually, I AM NOT ready for this, to have a…baby. I can’t even imagine myself right now going through that. 

My thoughts are suddenly 

consumed by Lauren and 

how much she wanted to 

have a child. How she didn’t 

get to live her dream because of my own mate, or rather the man that was supposed 

to be my mate. 

But…what am I going to do? I am in this place…fighting. I 

even have a fight tonight. 

This can’t be good for…the baby. 

It is so weird to think this. To 

think that there is a tiny 

thing growing inside of me. 

It feels so…surreal. 

I have to get out of here! Now more than ever, I need 

to get out. But how? 

I can’t keep waiting and hoping that Colt will come for me. What if they never do? What if they never find 

out where I am? What if I die 

in that damn arena before 

they can find me? 

No. I can’t just leave it to 

someone else. 

I find myself looking around. I don’t know why or what for but I just am. Unable to see anything that can help, I sit 

back down but continue to 

try. My hands slide up to the mask on my eyes. I pull on it but it is tightly stuck on me yet it doesn’t hurt anymore. I 

touch the sides where the 

bolts are. 

“Kanda. What do you think would happen if I ripped this 

mask off of my face?” 

She looks surprised at the 

question. 

“I am not sure. I assume it 

would be painful.” 

“Yeah, but do you think I 

could survive it?” 

“Well…I don’t know. But with 

your super healing, it is a 

huge possibility that you 

would. That mask does not 

seem to be silver so your 

wounds would heal fast. 

“Unfortionetly not the bone.” 

I mutter. 

I sigh. 

It’s not like that is going to 

help much anyway. I can’t 

use this damn power on 

command. 

What is wrong with me? Why can’t I use it like I 

should? Is it normal? I 

remember Honora saying something about my powers. Could her magic help? 

My eyes go down to my stomach remembering that I am…might…be pregnant. 

I am in and out of thoughts throughout the day. That is 

until I hear an unwelcoming 

voice. 

Without thinking, I get up and rush to the corner behind Maribel who again all day sleeps under her blanket, away from the bars. 

Ezra and the witch walk in with a few guards greeting 

them. 

I stay away from the bars, 

close to the wall that is 

connected to the latrine. It is 

as far as I can be from him. 

There is no way that he 

won’t recognize me if he sees 

me from close. 

“This is entertainment! 

Maybe we should build one 

of these too. Use it for 

punishment instead of just 

killing. What do you think, 

Sienna?” 

Hearing him talk about killing makes my blood boil. 

He killed Lauren. He killed 

my sister. And he is just a few feet away from me unaware 

of who I am. If these bars 

were not there, I would 

dismember him right now. 

“That is a clever idea, my 

love.” The 

witch–Sienna—says. 

Love? So they are screwing 

each other. 

His eyes are set on Kanda. “I 

want her. a warrior like her in my army would do some serious damage.” 

“Maybe you could negotiate with Alpha Zao?” The 

woman says. 

“Maybe…” He turns around 

and now stares at the 

direction of the fighting pit. 

“Imagine it…Sienna. Imagine 

my brother fighting in here every single day with no hope of ever getting out until 

one day he is finally killed. 

All this while he sees 

Casseopea next to me by my 

side.” 

“By your side? I thought you 

wanted her dead?” The 

woman asks. 

“I…do. I want them to suffer 

first. I’d make her my whore 

until I am tired of her. She’d 

watch him fight for his life 

while he would watch her 

being mine.” 

“Yours?” 

“You know what I mean!” He 

snaps at her. 

The delusion on this man. 

He is so poisoned by hate and anger. I can relate 

because I feel the same 

towards him. 

I watch them walk away. 

“What is it with you?” Kanda 

asks. 

I think she has been 

watching me this whole 

time. 

“You know that man?” She 

asks. 

I sit down and nod. “It’s a 

long story.” 

“Well, it’s not like we don’t 

have all day and night here doing nothing.” 

“Alright, alright.” 

I tell her my story. 

Of course, she is shocked but also now understands my 

situation. 

“So what am I supposed to do now? How can I fight in there knowing that…I am-” 

“Just like you have been doing all this time.” She cuts me off. “You have to fight, 

there is no other choice. So 

you do what you need to do 

to survive.” 

I know she is right. But it is so hard now knowing that it 

is not just about me anymore. My body doesn’t just belong to me now. It is housing a living being that relies on me to keep it safe. 

Kanda suddenly points at 

Honora who walks towards 

our cell. She looks at the 

guard near us before she speaks. 

“I had to come see you 

before I left.” Her voice is 

low. 

“You are leaving?” 

“Yes. But I couldn’t leave just 

yet. Listen…I told you this 

before. I could sense a 

blockage inside of you and I am afraid that it might have been my doing.” 

“What?” 

“It has to do with your 

mother.” 

“My…mother?” 

She nods. “I can’t explain right now but, I am leaving you with something. Keep it on you, it will help with your power but it is only 

temporary.” 

She gets close to the bars and 

whispers. “Choke me.” 

“What?” I am confused. 

“Do it.” 

“You have some weird kinks.” 

I say and then I rush in and 

take her by the n*ck but I 

make sure that I really don’t 

hurt her. 

Guards quickly move and pull her away but not before she puts something in my 

hand. 

Hiding it, I put my hand 

down. 

“I’m fine! I am fine!” Honora 

pushes the guards away. 

“Do not get close to the prisoners!” The guard says. 

“Yes! I got it!” 

She pats her dress and then 

walks out but outside, she is 

suddenly apprehended. 

“The Alpha wishes to see 

you.” A guard says. 

“Me? Why?” Honora panics. 

They don’t respond and drag 

her away. 

No! Why are they taking her!? Oh no! She’s my only 

hope! 

“Kanda!” 

“I know.” She nods watching as Honora is dragged away. 

“What is happening?” 

“I don’t know.” She says. 

I sit on the ground with my hands covering my face. I feel hopeless. I then open my eyes to look at what is in my hand. 

A golden triangular 

pendulum. Like an 

upside–down pyramid on a golden chain. The pendulum has tiny white opals in the middle of each triangle face. 

I put it around my n*ck and hide it under my clothes. Immediately I feel it warm up. It is a cozy feeling, not painful at all. 

The rest of the day, that is 

how it feels. I wonder how 

will it work. She didn’t really 

give me instructions. 

An hour passes and we are 

finally taken to the barracks. 

“Kanda, should I use 

something sturdier to 

protect my stomach?” 

“No. Don’t make it obvious.” 

Sheril–who has been added 

to the fight–looks at me with confusion. “Why would you use something heavier? You have been doing good 

with what you have been 

using already. Stick to it.” 

I sigh and nod. 

Maribel is also here. She 

wears the same rags we 

always wear and has that huge sword she had 

yesterday. 

“How strong are you?” I ask 

her. 

“As strong as you.” She says. 

“Huh? Interesting.” 

“But the longer I go without 

blood, the weaker I am.” She 

explains. 

“So you are a half–vampire.” Sheril says. “I had my suspicions.” 

We sit and talk but I can’t 

really get into the 

conversation much. The 

worst thing about this all is 

the waiting. 

Finally, the guards arrive. It is like a double–edged sword. I don’t want to fight but at 

the same time, the 

excruciating wait is over. 

“Nubian Pharoah and the 

Persian Princess are up.” 

If I am honest, I have been lucky that all this time it has been double teaming. With Kanda on my side, I am sure 

we’ll win. 

We walk out and up to the arena where just like before, people cheer and the 

announcer, presents us. 

“There they are.” I say 

looking up at Zao with Ezra 

and Sienna. 

“Look at them. If only I 

could fly. I’d kill them all.” I 

mutter. 

Kanda chuckles. “Use that 

anger for this fight. How 

about I hold them down and 

you take them out?” 

“Let’s make it as painless as 

possible. I don’t enjoy this 

killing.” 

She nods. 

We stand there waiting while 

the announcer continues to 

talk. 

We wait and wait some more looking towards the opening 

of the second barracks where 

our opponents are supposed 

to come from but no one 

walks out. 

“Oh no! Ladies and 

gentlemen. Two of our 

favorites will be going 

head–to–head! What 

curveball!” 

“What?!” I look at Kanda who 

looks at me with shock. 

“What does he mean?” 

Kanda and I both look 

around at the people who 

stare at us as they cheer. 

“No…no!” 

“We…we are fighting against each other…” Kanda says. 

She takes a few steps back 

and gets in position. 

“No! Kanda! We can’t!” 

She has a serious expression and looks ready to fight. “I 

am sorry. I cannot lose.” She 

mutters. 

“K–Kanda…” 

“Ready yourself!” She shouts. 

My lips quiver but I do as she 

says. I get into a defensive 

stand. 

“Fight me, Casseopea. Fight me with all that you have 

and don’t hold back!”
