Ryker's POV
*****
"My lord, with all due respect..." Regina's voice echoed through the throne room when she and Ryker stepped into his main base.
Of course, the snowy fortress where he'd kept Odessa captive wasn't his main base. It was far too open, not to mention he wasn't stupid enough to lead them right to his home.
Ryker paused for only a second, glancing over his shoulder at Regina who was heaving, battered and agitated after the battle.
Her audacity...
"... Why did you give that witch of the Luminari coven, Lucinda, access to the Vein? Access to our plans?" Regina continued, her voice getting a little shaky.
Completely out of character for her.
Ryker squinted his eyes at first but then continued walking toward his throne room without saying a word.
"Lord Ryker!" Regina yelled out all of a sudden, her voice sharp.
Ryker froze just when he was about to sit on his throne.
Well, well, well...
Regina never calls his name, especially in his presence.
