Chapter 11
A women storms in past Fenrir with out any respect what so ever. I take the bite of food off my fork, then set it down. I nod at Fenrir to just sit and eat. I stare at the ballsy women in front of me. She is pretty but in the classic sense, just not beautiful.
“Who the hell are you and why have you barged in here interrupting our breakfast?” I ask the strange women in front of us.
She just gawks at me like I have grown multiple heads or something. Then she looks like a fish out of water opening and closing her mouth so many times I wondered if she was mute or something.
“You, who the hell are you to talk to me like that? I came here to speak with MY KING about private matters that do not concern the likes of you.” She snarkily replies to me.
“Hmm. The likes of me. I wonder what that is supposed to mean. What do you think guys? Do you think she is trying to insult me or just plain stupid?” I ask the guys in front of her.
“Insulting you,” replies Hydrus.
“Plain stupid and insulting you,” replies Fenrir.
“Well there you have it the jury has made its judgment. You are not only insulting me but just plain stupid. Who do you think you are to speak to me at all let alone try to insult me and my intelligence. What ever you have to say to my mate you can say in front of all of us. There is nothing we hide from each other.” I say.
“Really My King this is how I am treated after everything we had together. One mistake and you throw me away for what, this thing? I thought we loved each other,” She cried to Fenrir.
“First of all it was not a small mistake, nor was I ever in love with you. We shared a bed a few times over the past couples years out of loneliness. That was all. Do Not try to glorify it when I regret ever letting in my bed at all,” Fenrir spat at the women.
“So, now we have that straight. Who are you and why are you here?” I stated.
The women glares at us then turns to walk away. I am not having that disrespect. “Do not walk away from me and refuse to answer my questions!” I say with power in my voice.
She glares hard at me while walking back to the table. She stops and just stands there. I decide to let her stew and eat my last plate of food. I ask Fenrir if he can get me more food. But I want the pastries this time as well as more fruit. He smiles and gets up to get me what I requested. I hear the women growl, but pay her no attention. I take Hydrus’s fork from him and feed him. He smiles at me because he knows what I am doing. He may not like to be hand fed but he knows it is something I want to do for him. I could not ask for better mates then these two right here with me. Once I am done feeding Hydrus and Fenrir has brought two more plates of food for me, I pick up Fenrir’s fork and proceed to feed him as well. Hydrus has gone for more food and I will not be surprised if Fenrir does too. Done feeding Fenrir I turn my attention back to the women. Studying her I realize that she has power but not like my mates or I. She has to be of some rank in a pack. She is Wolf not Lycan.
“What makes you think you can come storming in here and be this disrespectful to not only the king but his mates as well?” I question the women.
“Excuse me, Mates? So the rumors are true then. But the rumors only talked about a women not a man. I did not know the King swung that way. If I had known things would have been different before you showed up.” She stated still being disrespectful.
“So you want to keep up with the disrespect. You know you are not doing your self any favors by continuing like this. Stop with the riddles and say what you were going to say in the first place. Oh and I want to know your name.” I say with as much patience as I can at this point.
“My name is Isobel and I am here to claim the King as my mate. He can not be with anyone else, only me,” She says will all pomp and gusto.
“Well Isobel, it is nice to put a name to a face. But you are very wrong about Fenrir being your mate. You are a Wolf and can not be mated to him. You lack power to be able to handle the issues of a kingdom. On top of that we have already mated and they have already marked me. You can not change the will of the Gods and Goddesses to suit your wants,” I pointedly say to her.
“You can not be marked yet it has to be done in public and witnessed. You are not my queen and never will be. I am to be queen, Is that not right My King?” She addressed Fenrir.
“Ugh, I do not know where you think that I would ever mate with you has come from. I have never given you any words or action that I would even do so. You are not my mate and will never be my mate. Go back to your mate. Oh yeah that is right he is going to be executed tomorrow. How did you even get out of the dungeons to begin with?” Fenrir addressed her.
You could tell by the look on her face that she was not expecting that to come out of his mouth. Was this women that delusional or is there something else going on. I will speak with Fenrir later about it. I know he has a past and I will not hold that against him but I do believe that he only shared a bed with her out of loneliness and it was only a few times. He would not lie about something that stupid.
“But, I am pregnant with your child. The guards refused to keep me down there knowing that their queen was pregnant. I do not understand why you even put me there to begin with. I did nothing wrong to deserve that,” She was crying now.
I extended my sense and looked in to her uterus. She was pregnant but after looking at the fetus I determined that she way lying. The pup neither had enough power nor the Lycan gene in their genetics to consist with her story. I also do not believe Fenrir would be stupid enough to screw around with any women without protection and have heirs with some one who was not his mate.
“Lies. You may be pregnant but it is not Fenrir’s. Do you even realize the implications you are stacking against your self. You escaped the Dungeon with lying, you accuse the King of placing a babe in anothers womb that is not his mate. You conspire to take him away from his mates, one of which is pregnant and already marked and mated. So do you really want to keep going?” I am loosing all patience with this women.
“You can not be pregnant I am. HE IS NOT YOURS,” She screams at me.
I simply push back from the table and stand up. I let my robe fall off and move my hair to the side. I am not only showing off my baby bump but also my mating marks. She dives at me. I grab her by the throat and she tries to slap me. With a flick of my wrist she is thrown across the room and embedded in the wall. At first she is shocked, then she struggles to get her self out of the wall. I let Fenrir put my robe back on while we watch her struggle out of the wall. Both Hydrus and Fenrir are rubbing my little belly in soothing circles. They can tell the babes are not happy right now. Isobel starts screeching at the top of her lungs seeing the guys fawn all over the babes. She finally manages to get out of the wall and she goes to attack me again. Only this time she shifted into her wolf. This women really was stupid. I caught her wolf by the scruff of the neck.
“You really are stupid and selfish. You just killed your pup when you shifted. Shift back for your sentencing Isobel other wise I will force you to shift back and take your Wolf from you. You do not deserve your Wolf. She deserves better then the likes of you.” I growled at her. Then turned to Fenrir and said, “Fenrir will you have the guards come up please.”
Isobel was refusing to shift back. Hydrus moved a chair for me to sit. I sat down and held Isobel to the ground til the guards were here. The guys were back to soothing the babes for me while I was dealing with Isobel. Between the babes being hungry and feeling my emotions they just were not happy.
“I really do not appreciate the fact that you ruin our breakfast. My babes are hungry and so am I. Just because you did not care about your pup does not mean I do not care about my babes. How do you think the father is going to feel when he finds out you killed his pup out of jealousy. Now tell me who is the real father? If you choose not to say I will get the information from the dead pup instead.” I growl at her.
She growls at me. I know her Wolf is not in control because she would never have let the pup die like that. She would have protected it. I am not sure how she is able to control her wolf without her wolf being present in mind but I will find out. I delve into her head and find her wolf first. She is in a cage whimpering. She looks mangy and sad. I feel so horrible for her. She did not deserve this type of treatment. I delve a little deeper til I find what I am looking for. The father is one of the dungeon guards and he is unaware that she used a potion on him to get pregnant. After seeing what she did to him I feel so horrible that the pup is dead now. What a waste of life. I pull back from her mind just as the guards show up. One of them is the father.
“Fenrir will you have the guard on the left come over here please.” I ask Fenrir as politely as I can with how I am feeling.
“Keith, come here please.” Fenrir says to the guard.
“Keith, my name is Christiana. I wish we could have met under different circumstances. I have a few questions for you and I need you to be very honest with me. I do not tolerate dishonesty. Can you do that for me?” I say to Keith
He looks me straight in the eyes and says, “Yes my queen.”
“Ok. Can you tell me if you know Isobel?” I ask
“I only know that she slept with the King once in a while and she is supposed to be in the Dungeons.” He responds.
I believe him. “Were you aware that you slept with her a couple months ago and she was pregnant with your pup?” I question sadly.
“What are you talking about? I would never touch her. She treated everyone like crap and acted like she was the queen when the King was not around. I stayed as far away from her as possible. Why are you asking me these things?” He says confused.
“I have something to show you and I do this only because you have a right to know. I do not do this lightly because I know it is going to cause you a great deal of pain and I am sorry for that. Come here please.” I say.
