Crave To Conquer (Myth of Omega, #1)(54)
She wandered through the port, along the edge of the sea traders’ stalls, wondering how she could possibly return to Drocco. Yes, when it was good, it was fantastic, but it was always a physical thing—their personalities did not match. She was not the submissive he wanted, and he was not the kind of Alpha she would ever have chosen. Still, there was obviously something between them if they were true mates. There had been a spark of potential there when they hadn’t spoken for days on end, but was that what being true mates meant? That you didn’t speak for fear of upsetting each other? Her mind drifted over what Mother Orlee mentioned—an honest, open conversation. Drocco didn’t seem capable of that.
Her tears flowed as she thought back through all her missions, all her training, all of the extensive exercises to skill her Talent—all useless. That life was gone. How could the Mothers discard her so easily? How could they erase all of that knowledge too?
She sighed, turning to head away from the port, when a strong-smelling cloth slammed over her nose and mouth. A number of hands grabbed her and she froze in shock before fighting against their hold. A dizziness swept over her and she lost her balance.
Someone wrapped an arm around her waist, propping her up against their own body.
“Have you got her?” a female voice said to her right.
“Yes, let’s go,” said the man who held her.
They moved along in silence for a little while and Cailyn could do nothing but allow herself to be half-dragged, half-carried. Her body didn’t respond to her instruction and her mind was too blurry to use the Talent, but at least her blocks remained in place. Her mood dropped. Drocco had already found her before she even had the chance to decide.
After a little while, they stopped and the man that held her struck up a conversation with another man, although Cailyn couldn’t keep up with what they were saying. Eventually, the man continued to shuffle her forward, passing the man he was just speaking to, and stepping on a bridge that hovered over the distinctive white foamy waves of the White Ocean. Her heart began to pound when she glimpsed the side entrance of an enormous ship at the end of the bridge.
“We leave immediately,” said the man they passed.
“Excellent,” said the man dragging her toward the ship. “May Eiros thrive and be wealthy.”

DROCCO
“How do you intend to find her now?” Torin asked, as they marched out of the dungeon where the hacked and mutilated bodies of the Lox Talent-crafters lay strewn on the blood-pooled floor. “I know you don’t want to have anything to do with the Talent now, Drocco, but they were our best chance of understanding how she could be hiding or traveling.”
Drocco gripped the handle of his dripping axe tighter with the fury he felt, glaring unseeingly down the corridor and ignoring the pain still aching in his shoulder. It had been the only thing that had stopped him from personally executing the Talent-crafters earlier. His shoulder had had to be treated, patched up, and given time to heal. Over those days, the Talent-crafters had deduced that Malloron’s spell had destroyed all of the Talent-disabling charms in the Palace. But that information did not save them. “They were not our best chance for anything,” Drocco said, his voice hard. “They were not as skilled as Malloron, and I have no use for Talent-crafters who are lesser skilled than my enemies.”
“You gave them three hours to examine that spell, Drocco,” Torin said, evenly. “They asked for at least a week.”
“That is of no consequence!” Drocco bellowed, his anger blaring through him. “They were simply not skilled enough. We need crafters who can protect us from him.”
