The dancing had been in full swing for over an hour now. Right now, I was squeezed between my mates, floating on cloud nine. I was ecstatic to be in their arms. As the song ended, I felt them both tense up as I looked up and saw Ferrell next to us.
"My Kings, Might I have the pleasure of dancing with our Queen?" He asks with a fake smile.
I tense in both of my mate's arms and look into Ferrell's eyes. He stared at me with a feral look, reminding me of the rogues that attacked my pack a few years ago.
"You can, but one wrong move and you're done," Ox tells him, his voice cold as we all look at him.
"Of course My Kings. My Queen?" Ferrell holds out his hand to me and I take it hesitantly. He tightens his grip on my hand, slowly pulling me into the dance. He looks behind me then back into my eyes and smirks as he starts to squeeze my hand and waist in a painful grip.
"Den Leader Ferrell, loosen your grip before I make you," I say in a very cold voice. Malic dripping from my words as I look up into his eyes.
"Well aren't you fierce, My Queen," he replies back with a sneer, loosening his grip. "But that won't save you and the Kings from what's coming. You need to reject the Kings and go back to your own kind, mutt."
I jerk myself from his grip and smack him across the face, causing his head to snap to the side. Ox and Py were at my side in less than a second. Both of them stood between us.
"Sapphire, what happened?" Py asks as Ox grabs Ferrell by his neck.
"He tightened his grip on my hand and waist, I snapped at him to loosen his grip and after he did, he said that I was fierce, but that it wouldn't save us from what's coming and that I needed to reject you both and called me a mutt." I told them both as the music stopped and everyone was looking at us. Most looked at Ferrell in disgust.
"Really Ferrell? Your Purelist beliefs need to die off!" Ox snapped at him, motioning to the guards to come to them. "You are no longer a Den Leader, you are here-by stripped of your title, and it will be given to someone worthy. Guards, take him to the cells! Where is his mate?"
"I am here My Kings and My Queen," she says from behind us in a small voice, causing us to look at the girl who was my age.
"Are you his true mate?" I asked her. She shook her head no and this caused me to growl in anger.
"My Queen, I am sorry. He rejected his true mate when she lost their baby a year ago and forced a mate bond upon me when I was only seventeen. I don't know if I have a true mate anymore." Her whisper could be heard throughout the whole room, making others gasp in shock or roar in outrage.
"Reject him," Py orders. She nods.
"I, Evangeline Masters, reject the bond forced upon me by ex-Den Leader Dour Ferrell, and reject him as my mate."
Ferrell crashed to the floor when our guards tackled him when he went for Evangeline. The guards roared in outrage.
"ACCEPT THE REJECTION, FERRELL!" Ox demanded, forcing him to obey.
"NEVER! SHE IS CARRYING MY CHILD!" He snapped at Ox. Evangeline gasped and started to fall to her knees before I caught her.
Evangeline's cries broke my heart. I had a few of the Den Leaders wives come over and hold her, their mates stood in front of them, guarding them from harm.
"You are pathetic, Ferrell! You force someone, who happens to be UNDER THE MATING AGE, to be your mate? When she has yet to meet her true mate? You are old enough to be her grandfather!" Den Leader Voux snaps while he stands with Den Leader Vexus, in front of their mates and Evangeline.
"Law states that you die by the hands of the victim or the King without trial," Elder Vaus states to Ferrell and the crowd. "For your crimes, we will ask Evangeline what she wants, and if her wishes are death, you will be taken outside and terminated."
"Evangeline? It's your call," Voux's mate, Nata, tells her softly.
"Let the punishment fit the crime," She said, standing her ground in front of her force mate. "My Kings, would you please do this for me?"
"Then it's decided, Ferrell is to pay for his crime with his life. No trial and no mercy," Py says to everyone.
"NO!" Ferrell roared and lunged at his soon to be ex-mate, his claws extended and ripping through the front of her dress, slashing across her stomach. Ox and Py's claws extend out and they rip him apart as I rip the skirt of my dress to stanch the flow of blood coming out of Evangeline's stomach. Others are screaming in terror, as others are helping me with the bleeding mess that is Evangeline.
Soon the Den Doctor rushes into the room with nurses and a stretcher. Everyone is cleared out and instructed to wait in the dining hall as we try to help the doctor, who quickly cut the dress, stitched, and wrapped Evangeline's wounds. He sighed and then froze.
"Doctor? Are you alright?" I ask softly, placing my hand lightly on his shoulder.
"My Queen?" He looks at me confused.
"You froze up when you were done treating Evangeline's wounds."
"I-, I think she's my mate, but her scent is off," he says to us. Py grabs him and pulls him towards the way Evangeline was taken by the nurses to tell him everything that has happened.
"Ox? Baby? I'm tired," I whisper as I cuddle to his chest. Ox pulls me into his arms, carrying me bridal style, and carries my tired ass up to our room. Well not the room we will be in tomorrow, but the room that we have been sharing.
"You need to shower, sweetheart. There is blood on you. I want that dress replaced. Pyrite and I wanted to be the ones to tear it off of you in bed," saying the last part with a deep rumble in his chest as we arrived at our room. Ox opens the door and sets me down on my feet but still holds me tightly.
"Well if Py is back in time, we could all enjoy a nice bath. Then we could cuddle after lighting a fire," I say as I look up into his eyes, a sly smile makes its way onto my face when I see the hunger in his eyes.
"Pyrite will be here soon, My Queen, and then we will take care of you." He whispers into my ear, causing a shiver to run through my body and me to moan. "We will worship every part of you."
"Damn straight we will," Py says as he walks into the room and closes the door with a snap of his wrist. Walking straight towards us he rips his suit off and kicks off his shoes and socks. When he reached us, he pulled me into his arms and kissed me like his life depended on it.
