Persevere (under serious construction)

Thirty-Eight

The king growled, putting on his alpha voice. I pretended to cower in the corner. 

"Is it her that's making you submit." 

"Yes." He said in frustration. 

"The white stag werewolf runt is making you submit. Are you sure its her?" 

"Yes." 

"Xander come here." Xander walked into the room and I gave him a small mischievous smile when no one was looking, making him chuckle. 

"Does this little girl make you want to submit?" 

"No sir." Xander answered amused. 

"My sons are not supposed to be weak. Stop embarrassing me." 

My powers were pretty much drained so I decided to let him go. I would have to save my strength. 

The king looked down at me and a little pity filled his eyes. "You're a white stag." 

"Yes sir." 

"Strong or weak?" 

"My powers rival those of the first whit stag. If I hadn't trusted your son, he never could have caught me." 

"Why would you trust my son so much? What landed such a peaceful creature down in the worst part of my dungeons?" 

"I'm his mate, your majesty." He frowned deeply. 

"He locked up his powerful mate in the dungeons. Why?" 

"I wish I knew." I said simply, true sadness filing my features as I fiddled with my fingers. 

I could feel that the king had a good soul, just like Xander. 

"You can all leave." The King dismissed the guards as Jacob stomped off. 

Only Xander and the King remained. 

"I am truly sorry for what my son has done to you." His eyes filled with pity. 

"Thank you sir, but no need to pity me, its nothing I can't handle."

I heard someone scoff from the corner and there was standing Carl.

"You have something to say Carl?"

Everyone seemed fairly relaxed around the king and Xander, much more than Jacob, they knew he wasn't a total irrational dick.

"This girl can definitely handle it. We don't know what to do with her anymore." 

"What do you mean?" 

"She doesn't react to any torture methods and we've tried them all. She doesn't flinch when we whip her and douse her in poison, she doesn't make a sound as we tear her skin apart and her body heals completely within minutes if not less. We've been giving her force-shifting injections for the last few weeks but even those have stopped working. We just gave her 15 full doses and nothing!" He threw his hands up into the air. 

"Its true, I've spent a good amount of time with her. She's my friend which is why I brought her here, neither of us knew that her mate was my dick head brother. 

The king sighed, running his hands through his shoulder length grey hair. 

"What are we going to do with him? I thought once he met his mate he would soften but he goes and does this?! I'd like to retire one day but I can't pass the werewolf population over to him. I can't do that to my people. What is he even keeping you here for?" 

Xander flinched at the question, looking to his feet in shame. 

"So that I submit and become a sex slave to your son." I answered him, nonchalantly, even though the fact that my mate would betray me like that was tearing me apart.
