Our Little Fae

Chapter 27

~Beau's P.O.V~

As soon as we arrive at the Elven Realm, we are all escorted straight to the main hall where we stood before King Evren and Queen Elina.

"Beau, what a surprise to see your return, and with such an interesting group behind you." King Evren greets me, not even bothering to greet King Roman.

"I would like to renegotiate your terms with King Roman, with a proposition of my own." I reply calmly.

"This is unexpected, yet intriguing. Go ahead." Evren replies, clearly interested in what I had to suggest.

"From what I have been told, you are to perform a procedure on Alayna and then return her to King Roman to be married and trained in obedience." I begin.

"Yes. King Roman chose a wonderful suitor for this, from what I hear. His own son, Prince Damon." Evren informs us, and we all shoot a look at Roman who had failed to mention this.

"Damon? Seriously?" I hear Damian hiss at his father with displeasure.

Damon had quite a history, and the thought of Alayna being tied to a man like him made me sick to my stomach.

"I believe that, I, myself, would be a better suitor. I am of elven blood yet untied to any realm. I have the trust of both you and King Roman, along with other leaders from different clans and realms. You know of my high standing reputation and loyalty to those I give it to. I carefully consider every decision and action I make in advance, to ensure I make the right one. This has never failed me, as you know. Therefor, I would not make this proposition without the utter certainty that this would be best for all parties involved. I am also able to provide the proper training you are requesting and provide a safe location for both herself and others." I propose confidently.

There is a brief silence among the room, before the king finally responds.

"I agree to your proposition. After she has recovered from her procedure, you may wed within our realm with a bedding ceremony in which both myself, and King Roman will witness. You will then have permission to leave the realm with her. Should an issue arise in the future, we will not hesitate to step in." he states, and a small amount of relief floods through me.

"Thank you for your acceptance." I begin to reply.

"If I may, I would like to suggest the marriage happen before this procedure and ask that you reconsider performing it. I believe whatever it is, would be unnecessary, as I can assure it won't be needed." I continue.

I watch as he exchanges a look with Queen Elina before beckoning me closer.

"Should you wish to marry first, I will permit it." he begins to say.

"As for the procedure, this will continue. The morning after your wedding, we will have it done and you may remain here while she recovers or leave as soon as it is completed. If you will, my queen will show you why this is necessary. Please, come closer and accept her hand." he finishes, and I cautiously make my way towards the queen before accepting her hand.

Within seconds, I am sucked into a trance where I see what resembles my princess, but much different. Her physical appearance is almost identical with the exception of her pitch black eyes. Her lips are pulled into a smirk that screams trouble. A dark figure is standing directly behind her, whispering something that seems to excite her. A flash of darkness appears before quick flashes of death and destruction flash before me. I watch as she produces multiple succubi and incubi, and turns them into her own personal army as she takes over realm after realm, sucking the essence out of anyone who stands in her way.

I take a minute as I step away from the queen before turning back to King Evren.

"I can see your concern, but believe me, this is not Alayna. I have gotten to know her, as everyone else in this room behind me has. She would never be capable of such a thing. As for the procedure, what exactly do you plan to do in order to prevent this?" I say finally, and a small grin pulls at his lips as he looks over at Roman.

"You didn't tell them?" he asks Roman, before turning back to me.

"We are ensuring that she will never be able to reproduce. This automatically eliminates the possibility of an army of succubi and incubi ever existing. This is why the procedure must continue." he states, and it takes everything in me not to lose my composure.

"YOU DISGUESTING FUCK!" Crimson shrieks, completely loosing her mind.

As much as I wanted to get angry myself at the revelation, I knew this wasn't going to help.

"Crimson, breathe." I state, signaling Damian to step in and help.

I can hear the group getting more and more angry behind me, and quickly turn my attention back to the king.

"My companions will need some time to process this information. How soon can we wed?" I say.

"We can have it all prepared for this evening." The king replies, clearly wanting to rush this just as much.

"Great. Until then, can I go see my bride to be? As well as have a couple rooms for my companions to relax and regain their composure in." I ask, and he nods his head.

"The guards will escort them to their rooms. You can follow me to see your bride." he states, standing up and beckoning two guards over.

"We want to see her to!" Lucien yells, coming towards us but the king stops him.

"Just him. The rest of you will wait until the wedding, and I highly suggest you all learn to compose yourselves by then." he states curtly, before leading me out of the hall.

He takes me down many hallways and stairs until we hit the underground level.

"I must warn you, she's a bit... out of it. She's quite feisty as I'm sure your aware. We've had to sedate her a few times already and use many blockers on her to keep her from using her abilities." he explains, just as we reach a large metal door with several locks on it.

"You have 20 minutes, then you will wait until the wedding to see her again." he states, before unlocking each of them.

The door is so heavy, it feels like forever for it to finally open just enough for me to step in to the room.

My eyes land on her immediately as she lays strapped to a bed, and I quickly rush over to her.

"Princess, can you hear me?" I murmur softly, as I lean over her.

Her eyes weakly flutter open and she gazes up at me with a hazy look.

"Beau?" she questions softly.

"Yes, Princess. Listen, I don't have much time, I need you to try to focus, okay?" I tell her, cupping her face and making her focus up at me.

"Yes, daddy." she states, the smallest of smirks pulling at her lips.

I can't help but smile a bit as I shake my head. Even in her state, she still manages to tease.

"Later today, we are going to get married. We will have to be intimate in front of others to prove the completion and legitimacy of it. As soon as it's over, and everyone goes to bed for the night, we are going to escape from here as fast as possible." I explain, and her brows furrow.

"I know this probably sounds like a joke, but this is real. I'll explain in better detail later, but Roman and the elven king came up with a fucked up plan. I managed to change enough of it to get you out of this, but the marriage part has to happen for this to work. After this, you will be back at home, safe with all of us." I continue.

"Okay." she says, but I can tell she's struggling to wrap her mind around it all.

"They have you really drugged up right now, but this will all slowly start making more sense as you come out of it. Just promise to get through everything set up tonight, and whatever you do, stay in control. You have to show them that you can be obedient and go along with everything tonight. As soon as everything is over, you can go back to being your feisty self." I say, and the smallest sigh leaves her lips.

I lean down and place a soft kiss to her forehead, just as a knock is heard from the door, signaling it was time to leave.

"I'll see you soon, Princess. Just hang in there, this will all be over soon." I tell her, before making my way out.

Now, all I had to do was get everyone else on the same page without Evren figuring anything out.
