Summary
A subtle spark in his obsidian orbs, Shuri blinked, and it was gone. The Water King’s fingers gripped her chin, nudging it upwards. Shuri’s skin tingled mercilessly at his touch.
“Sacrificial lamb stuck in an underwater kingdom.“ He tilted her head up further, boring into her eyes. “Wakanda’s only saving grace from my wrath is the maiden fighting for her life upstairs.”
Jerking away her chin from his grasp, she took a painful step back. “I am no sacrificial lamb. Do not demean me.”
He mimicked her action and also stepped back. Shuri let out a breath, her heart beating against her chest like that of a talking drum. From what? Fear? Closeness? Or the understated threats? The Water Serpent’s eyes raked over her form, painfully slow.
--
After a failed rescue attempt in Talokan, only one hostage is returned to Wakanda, resulting in Namor only trusting the youngest member of the Royal family. Old and new enemies emerge as the Feathered Serpent Gods' desire grows for the Princess. With a tenuous agreement, the two Kingdoms must work together under the eventual threat of the US government’s insatiable search for vibranium.
Takes place during Wakanda Forever and will follow major canon events.
