Chapter 6 - Secret Room
Mav's P.O.V.
After Sienna spoke to the pack, we went to the dining hall for lunch. We sat in a corner so we could be alone.
"When we're done eating, will you show me what you have as far as security around the perimeter of the pack lands? I want to make sure that they will stop the assassins that I know the King will be sending,” I ask her.
"Yeah, I'll have Diego go with us. He's the lead warrior. He and his mate have been my only allies since my parents were killed. Most of the warriors seem okay, but I don't trust anyone other than Diego and Robin. Stopping the King is the only way to get the pack to support me. Right now, they see me as a joke. I'm only eighteen, and they think I don't know what I'm doing, but my mom trained me my entire life. She knew I would have to take over when I was young and wanted me to be prepared. I never understood why she was willing to sacrifice herself and not fight when she knew the King was going to have her killed. She said I would understand one day." Sienna shrugs and takes a sip of her iced tea.
"Maybe she knew only you could stop him. If she had fought back, he may have tried to kill the entire pack and you wouldn't have had your chance. Now you've caught him off guard. I know you're worried about the King, but you need to be equally worried about the Queen. They are both evil, but I believe she's the worst. I can feel it just being in her presence. The King tries to keep his evil hidden so everyone will like him. I don't think the Queen cares." Just thinking about the couple makes me shiver.
"What about Prince Drakon? I haven't heard too much about him," Sienna asks quietly, looking around to make sure no one is eavesdropping.
"When I was younger, the King would try to get him to help with my beatings, but Drakon tried to stop the men who were hurting me. He would sneak out sometimes and bring me food rather than the gruel they served. One day, his dad found out and put guards outside. I haven't seen him since, and that was years ago. I hope he's still got some of that goodness in him, but I don't know how, with the way his parents are."
We finish eating and then meet Diego outside. They show me the traps they have set up, and they're good, but I show them how easily the assassins can get past them. I make a few modifications and feel confident that they will work.
I'm hopeful I can adjust to the pack life, not just for my sake but for Sienna's. She needs a mate that can be as strong as she is. I will show her that I am man enough to be her mate.
King Harlan's P.O.V.
Maverick should be at the Silver Lunar Pack now. He will return within the next few hours and tell me he was successful. I feel like celebrating. As I prepare to call my mistress and tell her to be ready for me, I get a picture sent to me by text. I'm confused at first. What am I looking at? When I realize what it is, rage fills my body. It's a picture of Maverick walking into the Silver Lunar pack house with the Alpha. When I see the text that follows, I'm ready to kill.
Your assassin is Alpha Sienna's mate. They are dead. They are both dead. I will bring them to the palace to torture them both with my bare hands. I begin trashing my office in anger.
When one of the palace maids comes in to check to see what's wrong, I grab her by the hair and force her onto her knees while I pull down my pants. She tries to resist as I shove my penis down her throat. I need a release. When Silvia finds out, she'll kill the maid, but I don't care. I need to take my anger out on someone, and she's the only one here.
After I cum, I'm still angry, so I grab her hair, stand her up, and bend her over the arm of the couch. I tear off her clothes and slam into her as hard as I can. She screams, but I don't stop. Just as I cum inside of her, Sylvia walks in. I pull out and let the maid fall to the ground.
"Harlan, I told you to stop fucking the help." Sylvia pulls out a knife from her pocket and slits the maid's throat.
"I couldn't help it. Maverick betrayed me. He's mated to Sienna." Sylvia looks thoughtful as she wipes the blood off the blade and sticks it back in her pocket.
"Don't worry, dear. We'll kill them both. We have to use our heads. Right now, why don't you go visit Eva? She'll take care of you while I talk to the assassins." I nod and walk out of the office. Sylvia is great. She's the one that set me up with my mistress to fuck whenever I want. Sylvia will help me get revenge. She's even more ruthless than I am.
Sylvia's P.O.V.
While Harlan is busy fucking Eva, I go outside to meet with the assassins. Harlan is such an idiot. I gave him Eva because she is under my control. He may fuck her hard, but I fuck her ten times harder. She answers only to me. She thinks that one day, she and I will take over the palace and get rid of Harlan.
"Maverick has gone rogue. He is mated to the Alpha of Silver Lunar. I need two of you to go to the pack and bring them both here. We will show Maverick what happens when people don't do as they were told." The assassins nod and leave. A little torture is exactly what we need. I had hoped that Drakon would eventually pick up some of my traits but he seems to be in his own world. He's too soft, and when it's time for me to take over, both he and Harlan will be killed.
I watch two assassins leave. Tonight, they will bring Maverick and Sienna. It's time to get ready for our guests. I go to my office and slide my secret door open to reveal my secret room. I have tortured many people here. Some of them Harlan assisted with, and some he didn't know about. I pull my long brown hair back and put it in a tight bun. I laugh as I look around at my toys. Tonight will be a special night, and I will pull out my best for Maverick and Sienna.
