“Kyson!” I rush through the mindlink.
“Any minute.” Kyson replies when Denali grabs my hair ripping my head back while Mr. Crux pinches my cheeks, stuffing the vial in my mouth. Denali checks his watch while I cough and gag at its taste, yet something about it reminded me of Kyson.

“You can fight the effects,” Kyson links to me. “Focus, love, that serum is made from my blood. You can resist it,” he tells me.
A minute or so goes past, and Mr. Crux nods to Denali.
“Did you command Luna Abbie to reject her mate, Alpha Kade?” Denali asks. I grit my teeth. Fear so palpable it made goosebumps rise on my skin as the urge to answer rolled through me, making my body tense.
“Nearly there, fight it,” Kyson snarls when I hear a commotion outside the gates. Denali glances out the gates to the cobble road where Kade’s pack stood before waving some of his men to sort whatever is happening out. They rush out the gates, and Kade’s pack members murmur amongst themselves looking down the road.
“Answer me,” Denali demands. I don’t know what Kyson meant about fighting it. Fighting against it caused me to break out in a sweat, my stomach twisting painfully.
“Yes,” I gasped. Fighting breaks out outside the gates and down in the gully before the driveway in. Denali looks toward the commotion outside the gates.
“Enough proof, bring the whip,” he says, wandering off to talk to someone behind me. I look over my shoulder, twisting my neck to see what is going on behind me. I gulp when I see the barbed whip in the man’s hand, Denali was talking to the man with one eye, glancing nervously back at me.
“Tell them I commanded you too,” Kyson yelled through the bond.
“I can’t,” I said.
“You can and f**king will, your pregnant Azalea, tell them I commanded you too,” I try to open my mouth to lie, yet whatever the truth serum contained wouldn’t allow me to breathe a lie.
“Azalea!” Kysin booms in my head. I choke on the words, trying to spit them.
“Don’t you dare fight me. I’m sorry, love, I have no choice,” he murmurs when I feel his command smash me through the bond and mind-link. It rolled over me, causing crippling pain as he ordered me to blame him.
“Kyson ordered me to do it,” I blurted. Mr. Crux gripped my face, and Denali came back over.
“Excuse me?” Denali asks.
“Say it again!” Kyson commanded through the bond, sweat glistened on my skin, and I felt like I would be sick.
“The King ordered me to command them,” I choked out, gasping for air. Denali and Mr. Crux look at each other before turning to Cassandra
“Is what she says true?” Denali asks her. She opens her mouth and closes it.
“Well?” Denali snaps.
“…I don’t know. I only got there to see her command them both. What does it matter? She still did it,” Cassandra says in her nasal voice.
“Good girl,” Kyson says, letting the command slide off me.
Denali and Mr. Crux talk amongst themselves while Cassandra digs her smokes out of her leather jacket.
“How could you, after everything you did to her?” | ask Cassandra. She pops her hip, lighting a smoke before stepping closer
“My husband is dead because of her. Your mate killed him. I now have to raise my kids without their father because of that bitch,” Cassandra spits at me. I growl, my canines sl*pping past my gums as anger courses through me. She turned to face the council members who were whispering amongst themselves behind me.
“She still commanded them, but I have one more question before we proceed.” I turn my head, and he steps closer.
“Did you know it was against the law to break a mate bond against their will?” Denali asks. My brows furrow, wondering why he was asking, yet the urge to answer hit me instantly.
“Yes,” I breathe.
“And you still did it?” Denali asks.
“He was hurting her, so yes,”
“Well then, regardless of whether the King commanded you, you knew better. Being his mate, you are capable of fighting his commands, therefore will be held accountable,” Cassandra smirks at his words puffing on her cigarette.
“What are they going to do to me?” I asked Mr. Crux, who was still standing beside me. Though I already knew by the whip in Kendricks’s hand. My heart raced a little faster when Mr. Crux started ripping the back of my dress open.
“You broke a sacred law, you may be the King’s Mate, but you abused your authority, so you will be punished. 1000 lashes, or until Cassandra deems fit,” he chucklės. “About time the King is held accountable for errors,” Mr.Crux sneered. I swallowed and chuckled.
“Silly girl, just because you’re the King’s mate, that doesn’t give you the power to break the law,”
“He was abusing her,” I scream at him.
“And where is your proof?” Mr. Crux demands.
“Ask me, or is your truth serum not 100 percent,” I spat back at him. He grips my chin, pinching it tightly.
“Truth or not, you broke the law. We uphold it. We were looking for a reason to take him down, but if we can’t, you will do,” he laughed.
