Poisonous Parley

By Angelique Voisen

The last thing Lord Adriel Claremont expects is being kidnapped by Dabnis, the most vicious pirate in the Domo Empire. It’s up to his well-paid werewolf bodyguard to track him down, but Adriel suspects Lionel would rather see him sold off to slavery or get eaten by sharks.

Lionel didn’t devote his entire life to be part of an elite brotherhood of werewolf mercenaries to baby sit a spoiled lord. Only profit moves him, but when Adriel goes missing, Lionel doesn’t understand why he’d do whatever it takes to retrieve his employer.

Dabnis agrees to a parley. He’ll let Adriel go if the two men offer themselves up for his pleasure for a single night. While the pirate’s offer sounds simple enough, both men are terrified that one night could lead them to poisonous waters they aren’t ready to breach.

Chapter One

High noon was the least busy time for the port city of Ko. The docked ships bobbled under the afternoon sun, empty of crew. Unlike the busy early hours of the morning, no merchants or traders flooded the wooden docks with their wares. Lord Adriel Claremont breathed in the salty smell of the sea and his eyes devoured the clear sapphire skies above him.

Where are you now, Lady Lillian Storm? Are you toiling under the same skies, in some distant land? Adriel murmured.

It had been two months since his bride left him to his shame. His own noble family had quickly forgotten the debacle once the Storm family paid off whatever grief they managed to cause, but Adriel didn’t forget easily.

Lillian was a gently bred noblewoman. In the few times he’d met her, she’d been nothing but well-mannered and polite. Adriel found no reason why she’d run away and leave everything behind. Nothing had been taken from her quarters. No one had seen her leave either, so he suspected something dodgy was afoot.

He always had a fondness for Lillian since his youth, and even waited for the appropriate time before announcing his intentions to woo her. No matter how many times he’d turn over the events of her disappearance in his head, it wouldn’t bring his bride back. It was done and over with.

I was angry at you for weeks, Lil. I hope you’re happy, wherever you are and whoever you’re with.

Adriel let out a sigh and stood
