My Mate and Brother's Betrayal

26 You are Alone

David

POV

I still don't understand how she isn't pregnant. I've been putting that concoction in everything she has been drinking for over two weeks. I wonder if that's what made her sick. I will kill that stupid b**ch if she has harmed my queen. A knock on my office door startles me from my thoughts. When the door opens, Jared steps inside, dragging the mutt by her arm.

He throws her to the floor in front of my desk. "Do you know why you've been brought here?" She stays silent waiting for permission to speak. She is well versed on what happens when she opens her mouth before I tell her to speak. "Speak mutt" I say. "No, King David, I don't know why I'm here." I stare down at the woman that would be quite pretty if she wasn't so filthy and a worthless wolf.

"You are here because that sh*t you made for the queen made her sick. Were you trying to harm my queen, mutt?" Fear flashes in her eyes as I step around the desk. "I would never do anything to harm your queen. I did just as you asked of me, my king. The concoction is used by she-wolves to fall pregnant all the time," she says.

I slap her across the face without warning. "You are no subject of mine. I am not your king. You are a prisoner I've allowed to live because you are useful. You are less than a slave. You will only call me King David. Now, if you're no longer useful, then maybe we should let you join your mother."

"My king, I'm sure she can still be of use. Maybe the old hag can help her adapt the concoction to work for the queen," Jared says. "You should thank Jared because he is the only reason you will live to see another day, but if you fail me again I'll drain every bit of life from your worthless body.!" Jared reaches down and grabs her, roughly dragging her from my office. A few minutes later a knock on my door has me looking up from the list of packs we have made to visit. I won't wait for the Red Wolf to make her way here. She will never take my throne from me. "Come in," I call out. I'm shocked to see the slave that I had bent over my

desk the other day step into my office with a tray of coffee and cookies. The kitchen knows not to bring anything unless I call for it.

She sets the tray down and turns to me with a shy smile. "I didn't call for refreshments.""I know my king, but I thought you might enjoy something sweet," she says seductively. I stand from my desk and make my way around until I come to stand in front of her. I see a flash of triumph in her eyes as I raise my hand and run my finger down her cheek.

"Did you think that by coming in here I would f**k you"I ask, my hand sliding around her neck.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Fear flashes in her eyes when they meet mine. "Let me make something perfectly clear slave. You are a warm body and I will call for you if I want a release. If you ever come to my office again without being summoned, I'll snap your neck. You aren't special. The only special woman in my life is my queen." Tears run down her cheeks as I squeeze her neck to show her just how serious I am.

When I finally release her, she drops her eyes to the floor. "Leave" I say, and she scurries out of my office. Enjoying her tears, I decide to make my way to the kitchen. Our guests should be arriving soon, and I haven't seen Drake since he was in the hospital. He should be healed enough for me to have a little fun.

Later I plan on having even more fun with that little red-headed elf. I made sure her room was on the opposite end of the hall from her father and brother. Maybe I can convince her to move

into the castle and make her my new mistress since Jiselle is gone. Having her tight little

body at my beck and call would be amazing.

As soon as I step into the kitchen, my eyes zero in on Drake standing near the stove. "It's good

to see you back where you belong. I'm glad to know we didn't do too much damage, so you became even more useless than you already are."The muscles of his back bunch under his shirt and I know he would love nothing more than to hit me, but he can't. He turns to face me.

I round the counter and look at the food that has already been prepared. "Were you not told that we had special guests coming today? What is this rubbish? Are you trying to embarrass me, mute?" He shakes his head, keeping his eyes trained on me. I take a step closer but halt in my steps when Jasmine speaks from behind me. "My king, the guests are at the gates." Drake's eyes move towards her and I step to block his view. "You do not look at my queen. You aren't worthy to be in the same room as her, slave. Leave Jasmine now, or he will pay the pric for 

your disobedience."I hear the sound of her footsteps fade and smile at Drake.

"You are truly all alone. She will never be there for you again. If one thing goes wrong with dinner, Jared and I will be taking you to the cells again. You will serve tonight along with the other slaves. So you better pray to the goddess there are no f**k ups turn leaving the kitchen and heading toward the foyer. I'm glad to see Jasmine and the children are still waiting for Lily to arrive. I snake my arm around her and pull her close to my side.

I can feel her anger despite the fake smile she wears. Before I can warn her of my plans if she misbehaves, the door opens. Lily steps inside, and I let my eyes slide down her amazing body. She is curvy in all the right places and her breasts are the perfect size. I bet her p**sy would strangle my c**k. I wonder if she is untouched. Jasmine's voice brings me out of my dirty thoughts. "My king, you remember Lily. This is her father, Liam, and her brother Grant." 2/4

I reach my hand out to Lily. When she places her hand in mine, I bring it to my lips and place a soft kiss on the back. "It's lovely to see you again. I'm glad that you agreed to come to the castle. Jasmine and I are excited to spend time with you."I correct myself, looking at her father and brother. "All of you, of course "I say, reaching my hand out to Liam and then Grant. I notice Liam's eyes linger on Jasmine longer than I find acceptable.

1 go back to stand by my queen and pull her close to my side, pressing a kiss on her forehead. I watch Liam ball his fists at his side. I smile knowing even if he wants my queen, she is completely loyal. She knows what would happen if she ever betrayed me. I'm under no illusion that she loves me, but she loves our children and Myra. She would endure anything to protect them and Myra.

The servant from earlier joins us but keeps her head down. "Show our guests to their rooms." She nods and motions for them to follow her. "We will eat dinner around five. We can talk

about you formally joining the royal tribe after." "Thank you, your majesty" Lily says and even her voice has my c**k twitching in my pants.

Lily POV 

When I step into the room, Ariel is growling in my head. I close the door behind me and plop down in a large purple chair. "If he keeps looking at us like that I'm going to rip his eyes out before we snap his neck" she says. "I know, he doesn't even try to be discreet about it. How can he be so disrespectful to Jasmine?" I push thoughts of David from my head and focus on the real reason we are here. "I wonder where Drake is right now?"A knock on the door brings me out of my conversation with Ariel.

I swing open the door expecting Jasmine, but instead it's Grant. He steps into my room and starts to pace. "What's going on Grant?" "Did you see the way that ba**ard was looking at you?" "I think that everyone saw how he was looking at me. I am a big girl, Grant. I can handle myself. Your job here is as back up, not to protect me from the creepy king."

He stops and turns toward me. "I understand that you are the big bad Red Wolf, but you aren't invincible. I came on this mission to make sure you got to your mate and stayed safe. I'll be damned if I let that disgusting pr*ck hurt you whether you think you can handle him or not. I will be stuck to you like glue until you find your mate" he says.

Before I can tell him off, another knock sounds on the door. This time when I open it, Jasmine rushes inside. "I'm so sorry Lily." "Why the hell are you sorry? You did nothing wrong."I'm sorry because he is looking at you like a piece of meat. You need to make sure he doesn't get you alone. You have no idea what he is capable of," Jasmine says. "Exactly what I said," Grant says, and I glare at him.

I take Jasmine's hands in mine. "I am not afraid of the faux-king. Ariel and I can handle ourselves. The only thing I'm worried about right now is getting to Drake."A pained look crosses her features. "He was in the kitchen before you arrived. I followed David because the only time he goes to the kitchen is to harass Drake." I fight the growl that tries to escape me.

"Thankfully, you arrived and David left him alone to greet you. That doesn't mean he won't go back after dinner. He seems even more hell-bent on hurting him these days. I haven't been able to even speak to Drake because he has guards watching me. If they report back that I check on him, he will take Drake back to the cells."

"A week ago he ended up in the hospital after they took him to the cells," she says. I see the guilt in her eyes as tears run down her cheeks. I pull her into a hug as Ariel continues to growl.

I don't care what I have to do, I'm getting to Drake tonight. I will not let that ba**ard touch him again.
