The Royal Secret

20

I'm not going down without a fight I suck in a breath pulling my hair up into a high ponytail and finish off my makeup.

I look at myself in the mirror I look like someone else I look like what people think of me as the queen of death and pain.

I slide knives into a spot on my thigh I find Jax and Evan at the bottom of the stairs waiting for me Lucifer trailing beside me.

"Their here." Jax says to me. "Are you okay?" I nod.

"Let's get this over with."

Evan pushes open the door to the throne room I grab onto Jaxs arm as we walk through the doors Lucifer and Evan trailing behind us.

Jax takes his seat on his throne and I sit in mine Lucifer sits at attention beside my leg and Evan stands behind Jax. I make eye contact with a smirking Zack with Andre standing beside him.

"This is no way to greet your king." Jaxs powerful voice booms throughout the room. "Kneel." He commands.

Instantly people drop to their knees kneeling for Jax, for me.

"There scared of you love." I say turning to Jax he meets my eyes and smiles.

"I think their more scared of you."

"They should be, rise." I command Jaxs hand rests on my thigh.

Jax turns his focus on Zack and Andre both looking straight at me.

"You couldn't stand it could you? My county not good enough for you? You just had to have more so now your his whore?" Zack says looking at me.

"More what Zack? I've had everything I ever needed I never needed more when I already had it all."

"Maybe so, but in case you've forgotten you belong to me. Maria and Ally belong to me too so this is more than one crime your committing Jax."

"Here's the tricky part, Kyra also legally belongs to me." Jax smirks lazily drawing circles on my thigh. "You don't need Maria and Ally either so I'll negotiate their terms if your willing."

I meet the eyes of both Maria and Ally I've been ignoring them a lot lately I give them a reassuring nod that they will be set free.

"And just how to you plan to negotiate their terms Jax? I'd rather not bore myself to death in negotiations."

I roll my eyes "we don't do boring, we like a bit of a challenge we fight for our negotiations."

Andre looks at Zack who smiles. "Okay we can negotiate Ally and Maria's terms but you will have to be dealt with another way."

I shrug looking at Jax he meets my eyes before smirking slightly and turning his attention to the crowd.

"Four rounds, two for each person winner decides the fate of them."

"Who are we up against?" Andre asks.

"Evan, my right hand man will take two matches." Jax pauses looking at me "my queen will take the others." Jax raises an eyebrow and I smile, they won't stand a chance.

The crowd quiets at the mention of my name but Zack laughs.

"Your having the queen play a role in the fights? Oh Jax you must not care about these lives that much for you to put her up."

Jax frowns "I wouldn't dare speak such words most people wish they could die to my hands rather than hers. My queen is ruthless."

Andre steps forward. "I will have my head guard fight your Evan and Zack will fight Kyra."
