A Court of Love and Sorrow

Chapter 56

Nesta P.O.V
A couple of minutes after me and Feyre left the boys the showed up at the cabin. Cassian had a bruise on the left side of his face. He tucked his wings in and walked through the door he wrapped his arm around my waist, grinned, and gave me a kissed. He pulled away and grinned even wider.
"You seem like you are in a better mood Cassian?"
"Well its hard not to be happy when you have such a beautiful mate. Not to mention that I just neat the shit out of Rhys."
Rhysand walked into the cabin. Feyre gasped when she saw him. He had a black eye a swollen lip and by the looks of it a couple of broken fingers. Feyre rushed up to Rhys and on her way to him picked up a knife. She cut her arm then held it up to his lips.
"Drink." She ordered.
He rolled his eyes by obliged. Once Rhysand had been fully healed Feyre turned around to glare at Cassian.
"You big brute! You could have seriously injured him or even killed him."
Rhysand rolled his eyes again.
"Oh please Feyre you're overreact-"
Rhysand didn't get to complete his sentence feyre was already infront of Cassian pushing him across out of the cabin. Rhysand and I followed her outside.  I growled at her. She summoned her night powers and created shadows so thick no one could see through them. My instincts kicked in and I had an urge to protect Cassian. I unleashed a feral growl and summoned my own powers. I burnt all of Feyre's shadows. She kept on summoning them and I kept on burning them. She tried to stop my flames with her own from the Autumn Court but it was no use my powers were too strong. She unleashed all of her powers at me. They didn't even reach me. I was too strong for her to hurt me. Her face filled with fear.
"How is this possible? I am Rhysand's mate. He is the most powerful High Lord in Prythian."
"You forgot Feyre I took something from the Cauldron. And my dear sister, the cauldron is far more powerful than you and your mate. Think about that the next time you want to hurt mine."
I grabbed Cassian and winnowed us away from my sister. I guess the pregnancy was really messing with her brain. The motherly instincts are kicking in.

Cassian P.O.V
That moment just scared me. I could tell that Rhys was scared too. I thought Feyre was going to kill me. It was like when she saw Rhys injured her mind automatically switched to feral. I wasn't her friend anymore, I was an enemy endangering her mate. She also has something else to figt for. Something that has changed her scent. Her and Rhys' child. I thought at some point she was going to kill Nesta. But Nesta is a strong female. She can handle herself. What I can't understand is, if she is more powerful than Feyre or Rhys, why would I be her mate. Mates are equal in power. From what I can tell, I doubt anyone has as much power as Nesta.
