Lucien had been prepared to take me against my will. Fae males were territorial, dominant, arrogant-but the ones in the Spring Court … something had festered in their training. Because I knew-deep in my bones-that Cassian might push and test my limits, but the moment I said no, he'd back off. And I knew that if … that if I had been wasting away and Rhys had done nothing to stop it, Cassian or Azriel would have pulled me out. They would have taken me somewhere-wherever I needed to be-and dealt with Rhys later. But Rhys … Rhys would never have not seen what was happening to me; would never have been so misguided and arrogant and self-absorbed. He'd known what Ianthe was from the moment he met her. And he'd understood what it was like to be a prisoner, and helpless, and to struggle-every day-with the horrors of both.
