I'm Mated To What?!

XVI

-Three Weeks Later-

Negotiations aren't going well at all. My father, myself and my brothers have been in the throne room talking, going back and forth about ways to get the Adreaxians to accept our treaty and alliance. 

I've been going back and forth with them and my mate, that's now starting to show. The triplets are taking a lot out of her and I'm stuck here because my brothers are yelling and fighting with each other. One says that we need to just destroy them, where my youngest brother thinks that maybe we should meet them face to face and talk. I'm not opposed to the idea, I'm just more guarded now that I have a mate to take care of. 

"This is going nowhere," my brother Ra'math said slamming his fists down on the table. Our father turned to look at him. "We need to show them who's boss. They mock us every time they get." I could see the frustration rising in him. "They laugh at us. They've stopped our ships from coming back. Our men are there being who hows what's happening to them."   

I stepped closer to my father. My brother was on a roll yelling at everyone like it was their faults. "That's enough Ra'math!" 

"You Should Be On The Same Page As Me, Scai'ian," he yelled pointing his finger at me. "You Have Something To Fight For. Don't Stand Up For Them... Because You Know They'd Kill Her In A Heartbeat If They Had The Chance To Get Their Hands On Her. You Know It To Be True." 

I twitched, my arms shaking. How dare he bring my mate into this. My younger brothers Ki'lieon and Neth'ium moved away from me. "HOW DARE YOU RA'MATH," I snapped at him. "HOW DARE YOU BRING MY MATE INTO THIS!!!"

Six elite guard rushed forward and interspersed me before I was able to grab that bastard of a brother of mine. He's really lucky. Our father just sat there and just watched as everything went down between us all. The only time he moved was to pick up his sugar almond tea. Other than that, he didn't do anything to stop us from fighting or to stop me from changing and wanting to basically killing my brother.  

The guards pushed me against the wall, holding me there another Ra'math left the room and I calmed down. I paced the area that the guards allowed until my father waved me over to his side and I was able to sit down. Ki'lieon and Neth'ium took their spots next to me. They always gravitated to me over our other brothers. 

"Now that that's out of the way." My father looked around at all of us. "Are there other options to this matter?" 

All my brothers turned their heads waiting for the someone else to speak. We all knew of the Adreaxians. We were all have knowledge of them and what they were capable of. They didn't have the weapons like us, but they did have stronger numbers than us. That was the only down side to their race. 

"Um," a tiny voice left Neth'ium's mouth. 

"Yes."

"We could try and step up a way to meet with them." He looked at me, I just motioned for him to continue. "Not face to face, but maybe through a hologram meeting. Maybe the king of Adreax will be more than welcome to talk with us. If that doesn't work then maybe we should start thinking about a more serious and demanding approach to handing them."

He looked at us all. Neth'ium was waiting to see if one of us would reject to his offer of approach. I thought it was a start, so I nodded and our father did the same. This was a good jump. Our father stood, said his little part, Ki'lieon stood and departed on getting the meeting scheduled and then we were all allowed to leave. Thank the heavenly gods. I was so ready to just walk out of there, but now that it's over I can just head back to my room and be with my mate. 

Walking down the hall I heard what sounded like muffled screams and banging. My walk became a low run until I hit the door causing it to swing open. OH NO...... If I wasn't livid before..... Oh I was now. 

Enter our room, I saw Ra'math standing over my mate. He had a hand over her mouth, a hand around her throat and the other two trying to rape her. My blood started boiling under my skin as my vision went black and I'm not sure what happened. 

Coming to, I was on the floor looking up at the ceiling. There were voices around me, they sounded like little whispers. What had happened? I remember running forward at the sight of my brother trying to rape my mate, but I don't remember what happened after that. Did I stop him? I slowly turned my head and my eyes widened at the sight of my mate laying in the bed next to me. That's when I realized we were in the hospital until of the palace. I was hooked up to so many machines and so was my mate. 

"I....Is she okay," I choked trying to sit up, but only to be pushed back down. The nurse seemed so much stronger than me. I tried fighting against his hold, but just couldn't. 

"Yes she's fine my prince," I heard Crisa's voice call to me. She had been seated over in the corner, but moved to my side when I was trying to get up. I went to speak, but she stopped me. "Before you ask... Yes the babies are fine to. All three and your mate are doing extremely well considering what happened." 

I sighed with relief and stopped resisting the nurse. I made myself comfortable. I was at peace to know that my mate was going to be okay, that her and my babies were going to be just fine. But.... But I couldn't get it out of my mind. "What happened to Ra'math? I don't remember what happened after my blood started, like it felt like it was boiling." Gods my voice sounded so bad.
