Viren's POV:

"Yes Black, I can see how it would look like that. Rachael what do you have to say for yourself?"

Rachel's ragged looking wolf began her transition into her human form. Surprisingly she didn't shy away from the thirty pair of eyes that were latched like leaches onto her naked body, enjoying her curves like they were their lifeline. She stood proud with her back arched, chest out and legs slightly apart. Disgust was the first emotion I felt towards her, followed by rage for what she had done to Blue, who was on the floor unconscious in a small pool of her own blood.

It was disgusting how she lapped up every mans attention, even a blind man could see she craved it. Stuart who stood behind her, did his best to block others view to her from behind. His eyes were the only other pair apart from mine, analysing the crowd rather than her flesh.

Mates... of course. I thought to myself watching his hands tighten into fits. He was doing his best to control the growl that threatened to slip from his throat.

"She.. attacked me Alpha. I was simply defending myself and reminding her of her place! She pulled out my hair extensions!" Rachel said exasperatedly.

"Liar." I heard Black mumble from beneath her breath. Oh she was good... it was just loud enough to have been heard by Jeff and I. 
Jeff's attention turned towards Black then towards Stuart. "Anyone else see anything different?" Jeff addressed the guards who all lowered their heads not wanting to speak. 
I felt Jeffs Alpha aura spread across the clearing as he spoke. It felt harmless to me, like a delicate rain storm annoyingly soaking my shirt and pants, but not causing pain. It's effect on the guards however, was more like a tornado flinging sharp objects into the air only for it to come crashing down. I watched as their bodies shook and their faces contorted in pain, before submitting to Jeff.
"Stuart, what exactly happened here?" Jeff demanded firmly. Stuart looked to have been fighting the alpha command for a few seconds before he tried to speak.

"I tried to get Blue to kill a chicken, Rachel was here and when Blue refused..." Stuart began thrashing in pain not wanting to talk, but he eventually gave in. "Rachel punched Blue twice, then pulled Blue's hair. That's when Blue tore Rachel's extensions out and Rachel retaliated by turning into her wolf." Stuart growled out through cleated teeth reluctantly.

Annoyance and anger flashed in Jeff's eyes before he spoke, punching the bridge of his nose. "Why brother trying to get her to kill a chicken, it's never worked before no matter how much we tortured her. You know this!" Jeff's first question took me off guard. Blue was half wolf, all wolves I know enjoy the hunt. Crave it. Even without her wolf it shouldn't be a issue.

"With her memory being wiped deeper, I thought I would try it. Sorry Alpha this is all my fault." Stuart's words came out easily this time. He really did blame himself for his mates actions.

Jeff looked towards me questioningly. He was surprised I hadn't spoken as yet but decided to continue. "Rachel, as your punishment you get to be treated as my bed warmer for a day." What surprised me wasn't Stuart's fists balled by his sides tighter than before, or the way he tried his best to hold his wolf back. It was the way Rachel's nipples hardened, and the lack of regret and fear in her eyes. That had my anger surging and blood boiling in my veins. It moved like a thick lava slowly obliterating the little restraint I had left.

"If I may Jeff." I spoke polite but without his title, a subtle reminder who was really in charge at the moment. I stepped forward analysing the situation and the crowd. "I would like to ensure no guards overstep their authority again, and Rachel doesn't seem that fazed by this punishment."

"What do you have in mind Viren?" Jeff's curiosity was plausible, more so than his annoyance at me not using his title.

"All guards will change places with maids for one full day and night. There will be no bed warmers during this time, apart from Stuart and one other guard of their choosing." Gasps came from guards maids and bed warmers alike, they stood motionless in the crowd not even daring to breath.
