Nefretiri
"Why didn't it stay with him?" I demanded as the snake moved toward me. "Why did he send it back?"
It was almost identical to the bracelet around my wrist, only its colors were dark red and ruby. He was beautiful and clearly male. I don't know why it's so obvious to me, but it is. His tail was different from the snake I wore, and the energy around him felt more masculine. That doesn't change the feeling of anger I have toward him.
'Why are you here?' I ask it more to myself. I was not expecting an answer.
'The shadow king cannot take a weapon of Fate with him into his trials. That is the will of Tartarus and the price he pays for keeping the name of your fifth child secret from any who seek it. He wishes my protection to be with you,' The voice was deep and vibrated through me, and I won't deny I almost went into labor from the shock. 'He is safe within the walls of Tartarus. You are not.'
