Chapter 57

Warrior 1 -

I could smell blood oozing from somewhere. I looked around and saw that one of my men was still fighting even with a wounded leg. Immediately, I connected with him and asked him what was wrong. The answer he gave was that Cora stabbed him deeply in the leg before pulling the blade back out.

I highly advise that you see the pack doctor, get yourself fixed, and bring the pack doctor back. If you are planning on doing this, tell the doctor to find an injectable knockout drug so that we can take out this crazy she-wolf. The man nodded and hurried towards his destination.

Ten of us surrounded Cora in a circle. While we remained at a safe distance, we didn't allow her to run free. As if she were a caged animal, she slashed the knife at each step she was cutting through the air.

I had one of my warriors go get the pack cowboy. Wolves usually aren't fond of horses, but this guy was quite adept with them. He would perform for our pack. The plan was to have him lasso her from behind and force her to drop the knife she was holding so freely.

Then we will put her to sleep in the interrogation room until the King, Prince, and the captain of the royal guard can come and interrogate her. At first glance, I thought she had rabies or was suffering from some kind of mental disorder. However, we are wolves, so we don't get sick or go crazy unless our mate dies.

Cora --

I could smell the blood from the wolf I had stabbed in the leg. I needed to keep the guards away from me, that is why I started staring and slashing at each one of them. My wolf loves a good fight and when I stabbed the warrior, my wolf in me howled with joy.

While another warrior had my attention trying to get close to me, I was blindsided by someone else that injected with some kind of needle, I was going down into the darkness, I knew I was doomed now, and fell to the floor, remembering nothing after that.

Warrior 1 ordered for Cora to be taken to the dungeons, where they were going to lock her up with chains laced with wolf bane. There would be no bed, just a dirty, sticky, voided on cement floor. Cora was a traitor that tried to kill off the future Luna and the royal princess.

Not to forget the princesses mate Colt, who was also an Alpha, One of the 8 alphas that were famous for their fighting skills. Genetically these Alphas were superior in every way. The warriors were going to make certain there wasn’t any comfort to be had by her.

Warrior 1 when they had finished with Cora, went to get his keep to drive out to the pack airport to pick up the royals. All of them were on the flight, and were going to interrogate Cora personally. To say they were angry, hurt, having been betrayed and only wanted vengeance would be an understatement.

Cora had been treated like family and stabbed them in the royals in the back. For Cora’s birthday they had a pack party, and even bought Cora a car. This was more than a stab in the back, it was a stab through the heart for the royals loved her like family.

Warrior 1 –

I stand at parade rest while the royals get off the helicopter. My men and I all salute. The King walks up to me and starts a conversation.

King —

"At ease, soldier. Were you able to take care of the matter I assigned for you to complete?"

Warrior 1 –

"Sir, Yes Sir! We had to put the item to sleep, sir! It was a tough beast to tame, sir." I could feel the King grimace. The King sounded disgruntled as he replied, "Thank you, soldier.”

King —

Walking next to my son, I let him know about the situation. "The thing annoying us, had turned out to be a beast and the men had to put it to sleep. We cannot see it until tomorrow morning.”

Prince Xander –

"The beast will have to be tamed and then set free. It looks like we are taming the beast as a family event. Originally, the beast belonged to the princess, so we can assist her in training the beast.”

The King nodded agreeing with his son, and as his son and his son mate sat in the Limo, he followed in after them sitting across from them as the seats in the back of the Limo faced each other.

King —

"We need to have you and Clair take the throne. This weekend we will need to have Clair join the Royal Pack and have the official mating ceremony for it is a full moon being the official night per ritual to have the mating ceremony for the pack, You sister has her mate now too, I expect her and Colt there. Then the week after that, we will transfer authority to you and your Luna.”

Clair —

I grimaced inside hearing that I was to be Luna. A couple of months ago, I didn't even want a mate, much less be a Luna. Here I was two months later, not only mated, but being prepared to be not only a Luna but a Queen. I was scared and uncertain I was good enough to accomplish the task. I admit I had been spoiled and used to others looking out for me.

Now many people will seek help from me from all the packs. I almost feel like I am about to have a heart attack. On my exterior, I smiled and nodded at the King in agreement.

I love sitting next to the window, the forest is my home full of life and the calming effect of the wind through the leaves, and the refreshing scent of the trees. Xander never let me out of his sight anymore, it was traumatic for him during the time they had kidnapped me.

I heard he didn't eat, sleep, and he would go for days trying to find me day and night. Everyone was wondering if he would go feral, when a werewolf goes crazy and stays in his wolf form, tearing anything and anyone apart savagely.

I heard that everyone was staying clear of Xander because he almost seemed crazy. Xander did something I did find humorous. He threw out of the castle all unmated she-wolfs and unmated male wolves. If the she-wolf was unmated or wolf, they were very old and not a worry.

I laughed, as I saw some wolves with walking canes. Even our bodyguards had to be mated. He was never going to let anyone come between us again. I turned my face from the window, looking up at Xanders beautiful face and strong jawline, with that sexy stubble on his chin. If the limo wasn’t full of others, I would strip him and take him right here and now.

My brothers did not come along for the interrogation. Beta Michael stayed behind stating he would catch up to us tomorrow. He was staying behind to talk to my brother Cameron about something.

The limo comes to a stop and the doors are opened for us. I get out on my side as the door is opened for me by a mated bodyguard of course, and I see Xander follow me out of the limo, he lifted me and carried me into the Castle.

I am not happy with this, but he needs it to let his wolf know we are okay and not going to disappear. Considering I kept running away, I understood how traumatic it had been for him, I would have felt the same way if the roles were reversed.

I haven’t said anything to Xander or anyone. I have been so sick lately and wolves don’t get sick. Every morning I have been throwing up and eating is an absolute No. As soon as I eat, I throw that up as well. I haven’t been to the pack doctor, but I am pretty sure I got pregnant during my heat.

I don’t want to get Xander too excited about this possible pregnancy until I have confirmed with the pack doctor that I am pregnant.
