Join his harem?
JOIN HIS HAREM?!
How could she possibly—she was with Qing Lin! She had his mark! They were building something together! She liked him! She cared about him! And Sha Chen wanted her to just—to just—
But if she refused, they would all die.
Qing Lin. Kuan Tie. Huo Gen. Yue Ling.
All of them.
Because of her.
Her hands were shaking and she set down her fork before she dropped it.
Think, Xin Yi. You need to calm down and THINK. Use your brain.
Compare the Alphas so far. Sha Chen wasn't impulsive like Hei Yan, not playful like impulsive. He thought things through….perhaps a little too well.
Hmm.
She could work with that.
Maybe.
"I..." She hesitated, trying to find her strength. "That's... that's not... I mean..."
Sha Chen's white eyes darkened. "You will not join my harem, female?"
"I... I..." She was stuttering now, her brain scrambling for words. For a plan. For ANYTHING.
