Grace Goodwin - Ascension Saga - 5

He’d protected me—as best he could while being stark naked—from the guards when they burst into his apartment. He’d stood up to the creepy assassin guy, and I ached for some of that bossiness again.

I ached for Thor, and it wasn’t just my pussy that missed him, but my heart, too. I’d started to think we had a real chance at a happily-ever-after. Having that taken away? Like ripping candy from a baby. I wanted to cry, but I wasn’t a two-year-old. I was royal. A freaking princess .

I stood. Determined. This was total bullshit. I wasn’t going to wait for the queen’s guards or whoever else to get answers out of him. He said he was mine. Well, he was going to prove it. Right now. “I’m going down there. He’s going to talk to me. If I’m his mate, and he really believes that, then he’s going to give me some answers whether he wants to or not.”

“Or what?” Leave it to my sister to call my bluff. She was good like that.

“Or I’ll rip his balls off and shove them down his throat.” That was a bit much, even for me, but I’d been feeling particularly aggressive lately, especially when anyone threatened me or mine. The kung fu badass who somehow exploded out of me these days was wiggling her way into my mind as well. I blamed it on Destiny. Years of listening to her go on and on and on about fighting, and self-mastery, and all that Eastern philosophy stuff was finally sinking in. Had to be. There was no other explanation.

I looked at Trinity, who’d been quiet a bit too long.

“Well?” I waited for her to try to talk me out of charging into the dungeon in her typical lawyerly style. Logic and all that analysis jargon she wielded like a weapon.

“Okay.”

That was it? Okay?

“I’m going down there. Right now.”

“Okay,” she said again. “But maybe you should get dressed first?”
