He’d been abducted by Thraxian slavers and after months of captivity, sold into the fight rings run by the Srinar aliens. Forced to fight and kill.
He pulled in a shuddering breath, unable to rid himself of the drowning sensation dragging at him.
Then he heard a laugh—full-throated and feminine.
He looked up, his gaze zeroing in on the long, tall form of Saff Essikani.
The female gladiator was walking into the training arena, her back straight, and her muscled, athletic body clad in dark leather. Her leather top hugged her slim torso lovingly and left her muscular arms bare. Her long black hair was in tiny braids that she’d caught back at the base of her neck. Her skin was dark and glossy.
Blaine heard his heart beat like a drum in his ears. It was clear she was strong and an experienced fighter, but he also spotted the small touches of femininity. The elegant tilt of her dark eyes, her long eyelashes, and her long, slender neck.
It took him a second to realize she wasn’t alone. Harper Adams strode beside her. Harper had been Blaine’s fellow security specialist on the space station. She’d been the first to be rescued and taken in by the gladiators of the House of Galen. She’d in turn helped to rescue several other human women who’d also been abducted. He wondered if there were any others they didn’t know about out there somewhere, suffering.
Anger threatened, nipping at the edges of his consciousness. To fight it back, he focused on Saff.
