Chapter 61


    They growl and snarl, watching him. But the council members were all Lycan, and I felt his aura


    demand them to submit, forcing them to remain where they were.


    “Now, I am willing to let this slide, so back up.” Denali ordered.


    “She may be King Kyson’s Queen, but she will be held ountable for her actions,” Denali snarls and


    Dustinughs maniacally.


    Denali turns his head to look at him as Dustin sits up, his arms still cuffed behind his back. He starts


    ripping at his handcuffs, once twice, thrice, and I hear his wrists snap and shoulders dislocate before


    he rolls his shoulders, bringing his hands around to the front, Kendrick runs at him, but Dustin moves


    quickly, sweeping his legs out from under him and pivoting on his knee, so he was suddenly on


    Kendricks’s back, his knee pressed to the back of the man’s neck.


    “And who are you? Let Kendrick up now,” Mr.Crux growls, dropping me at Denali’s feet. Dustin


    rebreaks his wrist before gripping Kendricks hair and ripping his head back.


    “No, wrong question Denali. The question you should be asking is, who is Azalea? Does her name ring


    any bells to you?” Dustin sneers.


    Denali looks down at me, and Cassandra cowers behind him, clutching the back of his suit jacket.


    Denali looks at her, shoving her off and making her stumble. She shrieks,nding on her ass.


    Kendrick moves underneath Dustin’s knee, shifting, but Dustin growls before grabbing his head and


    twisting it so it faces him.


    T heave, throwing up as he broke Kendricks’s neck. Dustin then gets to his feet and wipes his hands,


    pulling the darts from his legs and chest.


    “Does the name Azalea Ivy Landeena ring any bells for you,” Dustin asks.


    Mr.Crux, Denali, and the other man, Larkin, looked at me where I had copsed on the ground, my


    blood was pooling around me, and I struggled to keep my eyes open, Kyson’s presence growing closer


    the only thing keeping me awake.


    “The Landeena’s are dead,” Denali states, yet he looked unsure as he nced between Dustin and


    me. Though I had no idea why my heritage mattered to the council.


    “Ask her who her mother is,’es Kyson’s voice, my head turns toward him, and he growls when his


    eyes meet mine. The Lycans standing around us moved out of his way as he marched through the


    gates. He stalked straight toward Denali, like he was prey before gripping his throat. Denali gasps as


    Kyson lifts the man bringing him nose to nose with him.


    “You daree into my Kingdom unannounced and attack my Queen,” He roared in his face. Denali


    grips his hands.


    “Thew states we can enter;” His words choke out entirely, and his face turns purple as Kyson’s grip


    tightens. Kyson nods to Dustin, who rushes toward me, pulling me up against him, so I am sitting up.


    “Yourws are bullshit, and you know it, she told you I ordered her tomand them, and you still put


    your filthy paws on my mate.” Kyson says. Mr. Crux grips Kyson’s shoulder.


    “Crux, I will give you two seconds to correct that mistake,” Kyson warns him, and Crux puts his hands


    up in the air, backing away in surrender, Kyson looks at him.


    “You will mind your tongue around my mate, now as I was saying, Denali. You are now being


    sentenced for treason,” Kyson snarls, letting him go. He falls to the ground at Kyson’s feet, gasping and


    choking for air, sucking in huge lungfuls while gripping his throat.


    “Treason?” Larkin asks, rushing forward. Kyson growls at him, and he stops dead in his tracks.


    “Now, I would like to introduce my mate,” Kyson says, motioning toward Dustin. Dustin scoops my


    bloody body up in his arms, and I rest my head on his shoulder. Dustin crouches beside Denali, who


    lifts his head to look at me, his face flush and red as he gasped.


    “Recognize those eyes, Denali?” Kyson asks, and Denali gulps, looking up at him.


    “You made the mistake of thinking my mate was just an ordinary Lycan. Now you will be punished for


    treason and attempted murder of her majesty Azalea Ivy Landeena, the rightful heir to the Landeena


    Kingdom. I may fall under councilws, but-”


    “How is it possible,” Denali asks, looking to his brother Larkin before looking at Mr.Crux,


    “That kingdom fell” Mr. Crux says, stepping forward.


    “Yes, and now it rises,” Kyson says, motioning toward all the Lycans on their knees. They all growl,


    ring at the council elders. Yet my vision was bing blurrier as my wounds bled all over Dustin.


    “Now, can anyone tell me why the Landeena bloodline is exempt from the council’sws?” Kyson


    bellows, looking between the three men.


    “My King, I swear had I known,” Denali stutters.


    “No one knew. I knew the hunters woulde after her. Only those in my castle knew her true identity,


    and you have not only harmed my


    15:19


    pregnant mate but broke the veryws you are supposed to uphold.” Kyson boomed.


    “We were only-” Mr. Crux says but one look from Kyson makes him shut up.


    “Looking for a way to punish me, I am not stupid. I know the council has been looking for a reason to


    take me down for centuries. Had she mentioned who she was, I know you would have killed her before


    I got here, but now that I am. Who dares to answer the question I asked?”


    Denali swallows, getting to his hands and knees. “Have leniency, I didn’t know who you were,” Denali


    says, gripping my arm, but Kyson puts his foot on his shoulder and shoves him back while Dustin


    stands with me, clutching me closer.


    “My King, my brother didn’t know. Surely you can’t punish him for such an innocent mistake,” Larkin


    says, rushing forward to defend his brother. Kyson turns to look at Denali’s brother.


    “He should have thought about that before he dares touch the Empress of Alpha’s,” Kyson growls


    before his footes down on Denali’s head as he stomps it. Larkin wailed as Denali’s skull crushed


    beneath his foot, and Crux ran at Larkin and grabbed him as he rushed toward Kyson. I lurched


    forward in Dustin’s arms, throwing up as brain matter sttered the ground.


    Kyson, ignoring a wailing Larkin, turns his attention to me before taking me from Dustin. “Shh, I got you


    now,” Kyson whispers, his calling washes over me as he turns to face everyone.

    *1 suggest you leave. Enough council members have died. Dustin, take that bitch to the dungeons,”


    Cassandra screams and tries to run, but Dustin grabs her quickly, and Kyson turns to the rest of the


    Lycan still on their knees.


    “Kill the lot of them,” he says as my head rolls back, and I see what’s left of Cassandra’s pack start


    running, their screams ring out loudly when Kyson turns on his heel and walks toward the castle.


    Kyson lifts me higher, burying his face in my neck, the sparks from his skin soothe the pain coursing


    through me.


    “Hang on, love, I will take care of you,” he purrs.
