The two men jumped back to their feet and ran out of her cell, leaving only her and Maya, who was already standing again.

“Th-thank you,” Roxy mumbled to her, stuttering.

“Shut up!” Maya spat the words, finally sparing the prisoner a glance. “I didn’t do it for you. I did it for him. And also, because you will be my kill. All I need is his permission. As you can see, it wouldn’t be a problem to get it.”

The Beta charged for the door and Roxy knew that it was her last chance.

“Wait! Please!” she screamed, but her voice came out weak and broken…

Pathetic.

“What?” Maya scoffed, “Are you going to cry and seduce me? It doesn’t work with females.”

“The baby!” Roxanne decided not to waste any time. She did not care how she looked now. “The baby is Dean’s!”

That made the she-wolf stop. She didn’t turn to look at the fox, but she did not move either.

“You are lying,” Maya gritted her teeth, her hand on the door handle. “I am not! It could only have been him! We… He was nice to me…”

“You used him!” the Beta’s claws grew long in an instant. “You used him and then you killed him.”

“I was wrong!” the fox begged on her knees, “I was so wrong! I… I loved Castiel and thought that he loved me too. You know what love is.”

“I do,” Maya chuckled, “But you don’t!”

“You are right! You are right…” Roxy said with desperation in her voice, “I don’t …

No one loved me. I don’t know how… But the baby… The baby is Dean’s. I swear!

Maya said nothing. “Please,” the girl kept begging, “At least help me to give birth to it! Please!

Very slowly, the Beta turned to face her worst enemy,

“How do you imagine me doing this now?” she shook her head. “Everybody hates you. Even Brayden. You were a spy who ruined us! You gave us nothing!

How do you think…”

“I will tell you what I know,” Roxanne interjected. “I know where he has taken her.

At least I think I know.”

“Tell me now and maybe,” Maya stressed the word,“ if the information you give me is confirmed, I will make sure you live long enough to give birth.”

Maya returned to the observation room with a grin on her face as Gideon and

Reid were already checking the location on the maps.

“Nice acting,” Brayden told her as he kept watching his fake mate through the window.

“I know, right?” the girl sneered at him. “Way better than yours the other day.

 Tell me, Bray, how are you adjusting to the new reality of always being second? Or even third?”

She giggled but he did not respond to her. His life sucked as it was and there was no way for him to win this argument now.

His pack only existed now because the lycans gave him the money to keep it afloat.

He hated to admit it, but he made a mistake, after mistake, after mistake… Most of them couldn’t be fixed. He would never get his perfect Luna back. Not really.

His love and his best friend was gone now.

His heart and soul were aching for Riannon. He knew that he had wronged her.

And he missed her badly. Only she could get him out of such a mess.

But now it was his time to act. Even if she would never be his. Even if she were to spend her whole life with another, he owed it to her after everything to come to her rescue. Or at least to try and help. She had another knight in shining armour now. And he was sure that she wouldn’t stay in captivity for long.

He chuckled at that thought. Because if he knew Riannon, she wasn’t the one king who willingly brought her into his own house.

“So, long story short. My name is Riannon and I am a captive. I am not planning to stay here for long as I have a mate, who is a lycan king and he would come for me very soon,” she said it all in one breath, looking slightly bored. “And while I wait, why don’t we get to know each other better and have a little party? Consider it my peace offering.”

“Did you poison all that?” someone asked and her fox guard coughed from the shiock. But she slowly poured a whole champagne glass and brought it to her lips.

“Cheers, ladies,” Ria gulped the drink to prove that it was safe.

“No,” she shook her head, “your health is in my best interest. I am just bored here. That’s all.”

“Bridgit, what do you think?” another one of the girls asked the blonde, who had attacked her before.

“So, your name is Bridgit? Nice to meet you. When you don’t try to kill me that is,”

Ria scoffed.

“You don’t seriously think that some booze and snacks would make us besties?

“the blonde arched her brow, while the others were checking the gifts. None of them dared to touch them though. Not without her permission.

The harem had a hierarchy and currently, she was at the top of it.

“We don’t have to be besties to have fun together once,” Riannon smiled and took one of the chocolate covered strawberries from the table on wheels which she made her guards bring with them. She bit it, taking her time and then took a sip of champagne again.

“Are those Castiel’s cigars?” one of the harem girls pointed her index finger at a small wooden box.

“Yes,” Ria smirked at them, “And you would be surprised to find out that he has joints there too.  Who could have thought, right?”

She got a few giggles here and there.

everyone’s mind.

“His treat,” Riannon answered without any shade of hesitation. “He said no limits.

So, I took whatever I wanted. And you can have whatever you want here too.”

They stood there, watching her and eyeing the two tables and trays on them full of everything. Exotic dishes, fruit, alcohol, sweets. It was a little feast.

“I’ve brought cards too,” she added, “We can play poker or whatever.” “And I see you stole Castiel’s golden chess set,” Bridgit stated plainly. “I did,” a sly smile stretched over Ria’s lips. “Do you play?”

“Are you sure you are not a fox yourself?” the blonde asked her, folding her hands on her chest.

“I am sure,” the woman took the chessboard and got closer slowly. “So, how about a small party while we play? Just one game.”
