Harpies showed no mercy, took no prisoners. Half the participants usually died, Gwen had said. Preferably someone who didn’t have to guard her-or his-own back, as well. Third, she would need someone to guard her back if she stole anything, and knowing her, she would steal a lot of somethings. Look how she’d allowed herself to waste away in jail. Second, she would need someone to ensure she ate properly.
She thought Strider was her consort, so she would only rest with him at her side. She would need to rest between games, whatever those games might be. Plus, Kaia would need every advantage she could get. If they broke any of those rules, they were punished.ĭamn it, what the hell was he going to do about her? She could take care of herself against anyone except another Harpy. And they were never, ever to steal from their sisters. He knew they were not allowed to reveal a single weakness to anyone-even their consorts. Because of Gwen, he knew that sleeping in front of humans-or anyone but their consort, for that matter-was forbidden. Harpies were all about survival of the fittest, and that he could dig.
Two words that had become synonymous to him.
