"Sure auntie Ophelia let's cut the cake"I mischievously stated as her face paled .

To the right is a gleaming knight's armor still in its pristine state of preservation. The empty suit regally stood there as if he wells still on duty protecting the royal family. With in the gauntlet it wielded a shiny silver sword embossed with the royal family motto.

Semper Fidelis ( always loyal- faithful)

"Oh yes "I mentally screamed as a wicked smirk cross my feature as I drew the sword from its post . My father and Ophelia eyes went widen as the sword glistened within my hand . " I know you can hear me don't you do it young lady. My father scolded as I flicked of my wrist testing out the weight of the sword upon my palm.

"Gemma no !" Kyle and my mother screamed I winced at being called my sister's name but I was her stand in til I divorce Elias and Jack. out of the corner of my eye I seen Elias finally hit the door with his mother upon his heels. A shocked look registered upon both of their faces.

Jacks P.O.V

"Jack my boy your back from your mission I almost didn't reconize you with the scruffy beard and long hair"my father ruffled my hair as he had always done when I was a child.

Dad come on I'm not five hundred anymore . I noticed the wrinkles around his eyes and the dark circles . He looked as he had drastically aged over the last few months due to the stress.

Queen mother giving you problems again?

No you know we're not that close for me to worry about what she does. it's this curse my and this awesome wedding"father countered " the groom kept on eluding  the alter and the bride's immature but amusing antics"

What you find out? My father passed me a cup of bourbon. I sighed as I swirled the copper liquid in my cup. " your hunches we're right but no hard evidence "I sipped on the bourbon "the holum cursed Is banned in all magic circles and won't be cast by withes.. so we hit a wall on that" All the elders around the area won't speak of the black magic coven and it's affixation to the were abouts of ( certain someone) hey eyes lingered on the queen and her sister the nights of the murders"

"Hmm" the king rubbed his beard " so where do you go from here?"

I nodded towards Lord Gunner Slade's direction  and my father nodded"Good question father my beta has agreed to go under cover in the black magic coven. To uncover  who is behind the death of the Jeddah frost, marlin family and leaving out my mother and grandmother names.

If my hunches are right it's someone close to the crown.my eyes catches my mate mischievous smirk as she pulled the sword from the suit of armor. Swinging the sword upon her hand and flicking me off .

. This is fucking priceless! I exclaimed loudly that made my father chuckle.."she reminds me of your mother when we were younger"then my father and I raised our glasses towards me in a salute;And then at her .

I love this woman ! Oh and dad she's my destined mate ..

"Splendid news, Good you chose well my son". As he proudly clapped me on the back "she is the perfect bride for you!"

You knew what Elias did ?

Of course I knew and I condoned/ blessed ur union come I did marry y'all. She is a much better choice than her horrid twin sister and manipulative father .. she doesn't know that your married and sister is banished for murder .. she slaughtered her lover. Her father tried to hide the fact that she murdered Peter ( Elsbeth's ex. And had his child out of wedlock) be careful of her she is evil.. don't worry it's your wedding night go get your bride before Maria or queen mother does.

I laughed and clinked glasses together before downing it and going I search of my mate .. I hope she accepts me I have loved her for years... now my chance.

Beth's P.O.V
Wow! I shook my head then gave out a loud resounding" hi - yah" as I raised and sank the the Blade into the cake .

The queen screamed "no"Icing and cake splattered every one in the vicinity of  the cake table.

The crowd gasp as I sliced the whole cake and ancient table  in two identical pieces .

Aunt Ophelia and then the queen fainted the exact moment . All three dropped to the floor before my feet. The king stood up and raced to up from the seat at the bar to his wife's side.

The incident resembled a scene from a movie not something that happens in real life. The table and cake caved to the center spattering the cake upon the marbled floor . I ran my finger over the sword " I need to get one of these babies for home use". I ran my forefinger over the cold blade. Shaving off a heftt dollop of buttercream icing . I shoved the dollop of icing into my mouth and then dramatically licked my lips " I hate buttercream it's too sweet"

" well the cake is cut ( pause) anything else you want me to do ? I sarcastically stated as The queen finally woke up and screeched

" I take that as a no.. then I pointed to my Elias " fuck you and fuck you too Ellie I'm out " I flicked my wrist as I flicked the sword at the knight. Hitting the suits private part dead on with one throw; thanks all those years of beer pong for accuracy.

Once again the queen fainted as the sword lodged itself inappropriately into the suit. I grabbed kyles arm and strode toward the door.

"I say that was the most perfect and talked about wedding this year "I stated loudly as I exited the doors" I bet dad won't try to pull this shyt again and try to marry me off.. I bent down and pulled our my faithful dagger from my garter belt. I threw it without even looking the dagger lodged itself in the heart of the knights suit of armor.

"Wow buddy,you married a fucking psycho" Tomas stated as Elias elbowed him in the stomach and growled out something under his breath. I grabbed a shocked Elias by the shirt and kissed him . His eyes went wide and hands went up in surrender as he stared at  jack.

For some unknown reason something was going on between the two brothers. Jack just sat there frozen in his seat as our lips met. Nothing changed I was waiting for a spark ,fireworks, or liquid fire of passion ;at least something ensnare my dead heart... at least with Peter there was lust this felt  awkward as when I kissed Tomas.

nothing but a kiss.. I felt nothing and from his expression it was the same on his side.

Disappointment settled within my core at the realization I tried to fight.. no he is not my mate.. I tapped his face rougher that expected as I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. We were pulled apart by a furious Maria

A string of curse words spilled forth as she grabbed into my hair and put a gun to my head. "Didn't you get my earlier warning don't touch my man.."

" baby ,don't do anything rash Maria she means nothing to me I only love you your my girl" Elias tried to diffuse the situation from escalating further." Awh poppy" Maria softened at his love filled words and slightly pulled the gun away.

"Thanks Elias your a great husband " I stated through clinched teeth. I used the unexpected distraction to my advantage . I gripped her hand the exact point to hit the magazine release ..meticulously flick out the bullets and insert it back before she noticed. " you shut up"

In sure stupidity my mouth took over. " pull the god dang trigger! I know your type all talk and no action that's why your man is married to me.." her face reddened as I blew an invisible kiss towards Elias .

Click

Click

Click .. the gun round clicked but no bullets were shot. I opened my and let the bullets I had stolen from her gun drop to the floor. " told ya you ain't got the guts.. so step off" I shoulder checked her as I pulled my hard from her shaking fingers.

How??she asked

"I'm fucking Houdini bitch now you see me now you don't."I countered as I put her magazine clip into her hand and walked off like a boss.
