“Coward,” I laughed. Mr. Crux grips my hair, yanking my head back painfully.
“Oh, Kendrick will. He won’t hold back, not after the king took his sight,” I swallow, and my breathing becomes a little harsher.
“Your people are coming. Tell them who you are. It will buy you some time, I didn’t want to risk but we have no choice”
“What?”
“Your parents-” I didn’t get a chance to listen to what he said when I felt the crack of the whip bite into my flesh, making me scream, hooks slashed up my spine and dug into my shoulder, and my scream was deafening when he ripped them out.
My knees buckle underneath me. My blood sprays across those on the other side of the fence when all hell breaks loose. Kade’s pack starts running toward the fence, suddenly trying to get in. My knees dragged across the ground from the force of the gate being pushed inward. I couldn’t see past them to see what was happening and didn’t care when the whip tore into me again.
Gunshots rang out, and I hung limply in handcuffs, my wrist bent backward painfully and on the verge of snapping under my weight. I feel the barbs tear out of my skin, ripping my flesh away. My head hung limply, and all I could think about was the pain radiating through my back when someone’s head was shoved through the iron-barred gates beside me. I blink deliriously, finding it odd. How did it fit through the bars?
Screams rang out loudly, but all I could do was blink at the man’s head stuck bet**en the bars. It took me a few
moments to realize he only had a torso, from the waist down was missing. My head rolls to the side, and I see the men in armor backing up, guns trained down the driveway as they fire. I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I watched around 50 Lycans ripping into Kade’s pack members and the council’s men, ripping them limb from limb. People running everywhere to escape.
I couldn’t tear my gaze away from the horrors on the other side of the gate, my eyes wide, and I felt sick to my stomach. I could hear screaming, and I turned my head to find it was Cassandra. Her hands cupped her mouth as she watched her pack getting torn to shreds. Suddenly I dropped to the ground, and I didn’t even realize someone was uncuffing me. My body was limp as I stared around at the slaughter. Hands grab me ripping me against someone’s ch*st. My back arches as I try to get the p**ssure away from my back.
Seconds later, the iron gates burst open, and I had a knife p**ssed to my throat by the person holding me as the Lycans stalked into the castle grounds.
I was vaguely aware of Kyson talking to me, yet I could not understand what he was trying to tell me.
“Get the car ready?” Denali says. The Lycans circle us before dropping on their knees around us. The whole thing was surreal as I looked around, trying to figure out what was happening, when I noticed Dustin roll as he started to wake.
“Take so much as one step toward us, and I will kill her. You have all just interfered with the council. There are severe penalties for obstructing justice.” Denali says, walking past me to address the Lycan’s kneeling. They growi and snarl, watching him. But the council members were all Lycan, and I felt his aura demand them to submit, forcing them to remain where they were.
“Now, I am willing to let this slide, so back up,” Denali ordered.
“She may be King Kyson’s Queen, but she will be held accountable for her actions,” Denali snarls and Dustin laughs maniacally.
Denali turns his head to look at him as Dustin sits up, his arms still cuffed behind his back. He starts ripping at his handcuffs, once twice, thrice, and I hear his wrists snap and shoulders dislocate before he rolls his shoulders, bringing his hands around to the front. Kendrick runs at him, but Dustin moves quickly, sweeping his legs out from under him and pivoting on his knee, so he was suddenly on Kendricks’s back, his knee p**ssed to the back of the man’s neck.
“And who are you? Let Kendrick up now,” Mr.Crux growls, dropping me at Denali’s feet. Dustin rebreaks his wrist before gripping Kendricks’s hair and ripping his head back.
“No, wrong question Denali. The question you should be asking is, who is Azalea? Does her name ring any bells to you?” Dustin sneers.
Denali looks down at me, and Cassandra cowers behind him, clutching the back of his suit jacket. Denali looks at her, shoving her off and making her stumble. She shrieks, landing on her ass.
Kendrick moves underneath Dustin’s knee, shifting, but Dustin growls before grabbing his head and twisting it so it faces him.
Theave, throwing up as he broke Kendricks’s neck. Dustin then gets to his feet and wipes his hands, pulling the darts from his legs and ch*st.
“Does the name Azalea Ivy Landeena ring any bells for you,” Dustin asks.
Mr.Crux, Denali, and the other man, Larkin, looked at me where I had collapsed on the ground, my blood was pooling around me, and I struggled to keep my eyes open, Kyson presence growing closer the only thing keeping me awake.
“The Landeena’s are dead,” Denali states, yet he looked unsure as he glanced bet**en Dustin and me. Though I had no idea why my heritage mattered to the council.
“Ask her who her mother is,” comes Kyson’s voice, my head turns toward him, and he growls when his eyes meet mine. The Lycans standing around us moved out of his way as he marched through the gates. He stalked straight toward Denali, like he was prey before gripping his throat. Denali gasps as Kyson lifts the man bringing him nose to nose with him.
“You dare come into my Kingdom unannounced and attack my Queen,” He roared in his face. Denali grips his hands.
“The law states we can enter;” His words choke out entirely, and his face turns purple as Kyson’s grip tightens. Kyson nods to Dustin, who rushes toward me, pusling me up against him, so I am sitting up.
“Your laws are bullshit, and you know it, she told you I ordered her to command them, and you still put your filthy paws on my mate,” Kyson says. Mr. Crux grips Kyson’s shoulder.
“Crux, I will give you two seconds to correct that mistake,” Kyson warns him, and Crux puts his hands up in the air, backing away in surrender. Kyson looks at him.
“You will mind your t***ue around my mate, now as I was saying, Denali. You are now being sentenced for treason,” Kyson snarls, letting him go.
He falls to the ground at Kyson’s feet, gasping and choking for air, s**king in huge lungfuls while gripping his throat.
“Treason?” Larkin asks, rushing forward. Kyson growls at him, and he stops dead in his tracks.
“Now, I would like to introduce my mate,” Kyson says, motioning toward Dustin. Dustin scoops my bloody body up in his arms, and I rest my head on his shoulder. Dustin crouches beside Denali, who lifts his head to look at me, his face flush and red as he gasped.
“Recognize those eyes, Denali?” Kyson asks, and Denali gulps, looking up at him.
“You made the mistake of thinking my mate was just an ordinary Lycan. Now you will be punished for treason and attempted murder of her majesty Azalea Ivy Landeena, the rightful heir to the Landeena Kingdom. I may fall under council laws, but-”
“How is it possible,” Denali asks, looking to his brother Larkin before looking at Mr. Crux.
“That kingdom fell,” Mr. Crux says, stepping forward.
“Yes, and now it rises,” Kyson says, motioning toward all the Lycans on their knees. They all growl, glaring at the council elders. Yet my vision was becoming blurrier as my wounds bled all over Dustin.
“Now, can anyone tell me why the Landeena bloodline is exempt from the council’s laws?” Kyson bellows, looking bet**en the three men.
“My King, I swear had I known.” Denali stutters.
