Drums beat in the background, darkness surrounding her with the tight blindfold around her eyes. Cyra was a Lady of the house of Lyca, a rare commodity indeed. That was kept in mind when security was planned for her trip to the Southern territories for her to meet her twin brother. Little did they know that there lay a traitor in their house. Somehow Darkon was informed of the path planned to bring Cyra to her brother and the convoy attacked.
Everyone knew the laws in Darkon's realm, barbaric as they were. She would be put through the ceremony of claiming. If no one came forward, Cyra would be sold into black market slavery, a fate worse than death for any female. Either way, Darkon would make a profit.
Cyra had met the family once before, at a gala on the Neutral territories. She still remembered seeing the warlord's oldest for the first time. People talked about his scars but that wasn't what Cyra saw when she looked at him. Kingston had these piercing eyes that held such intensity. When he caught her staring, Cyra didn't look away. The air in the room seemed to leave her and for fifteen seconds, they just stared at each other.
The spell was broken when the eldest raised his hood, hiding his face from the view of the others. Cyra still remembered how her heart beat like a beating drum under her chest that night. There was something about him. They both had just come of age when that happened. Those eyes still haunted her, even now. Cyra felt the pull of the rope, pulling her to the display table that was set before Darkon. His sons stood on either side of him, as tradition stated.
Cyra's soft round curves were dressed in a combination of sheer and metallic colors. A special cream had been rubbed into her skin to make it glow in invitation. The material was the bare minimum, barely covering her body. Cyra could feel eyes on her which caused her to flush a dark red. Her long dark hair had gold and silver threads braided into it. She was dressed to be a temptation, either as a bride or a slave.
The guards laid her body onto the table, cuffing her into place so Cyra could not escape. Darkon's voice rang out and she swore she could feel her skin crawl. "It is time, my sons. As tradition states, you will examine the chosen female." Cyra swallowed hard, fighting tears back fiercely. Fear ran rampant through her body.
