the council was a bunch of smug nobles. the room was stuffy and dark. Emma couldn't help but feel like she was being judged without mercy from these people. their demeanor was full of snobbery and Emma was nervous. Colin grabbed her hand and wound his fingers in hers. " this title is rightfully yours Emma and they have no reason to legally keep you from your rightful throne." Emma was called up and Colin went to follow alongside her. a stuffy man cleared his throat amd spoke authoritively at Colin and Emma. " my king please sit while we talk to miss Emma. we have questions for her." the man glared at Emma. the eyes looking a lot like the pouty beauty at her steps this morning. thats when Emma realized. she mind linked Colin, that is rhaelynn father isn't it? Emma wasn't really asking more stating. Colin shook his head at her. " my kind sir, what kind of king let alone mate and husband would I be of I did not stand by my queen? " the man's mouth dropped as the rest of the stuffy council let out stunned gasps. Colin smiled at Emma and they both walked to the podium to stand before the council. another grey haired man looked at Colin than Emma and huffed, " you mean to tell me she is your wife already?" Colin looked at the man, " yes sir amd soon to be mother of my children. " Colin pulled Emma closer. Emma cleared her throat to speak, " your honors, if I may speak. " she looked around as they gestured for her to continue. " my name is Emma Lawrence of the white wolf royal pack....." the councils mouths dropped again knowing that if what she said was true they could no longer deny her title. " if you would like I can shift to show you my royal wolf and crest that only royal white wolves have." they stuffy men looked around and then all eyes all fell on the first man that spoke. they were waiting to find out whatvthey should do. Emma continued to speak, " I see you looking at rhaelynn father to see what to do. see he has ulterior motives by denying me of my rightful position given to me at birth by the moon Goddess herself. his daughter would like nothing more than to be queen so that they could both advance their position. however, the only way this can happen is by denying me my title." she placed her eyes on rhaelynn father as he started squirming in his seat. " I am here to declare that I want my title as queen and that if he or rhaelynn would like to challenge me for it then we shall go forth with the challenge. other wise there is no reason to legally deny me of my title any longer as I am about to produce the next two heirs to the throne any day now." Colin couldn't have been more proud of his wife. she was smart and cunning and calling rhaelynn and her father put on their behavior was smart. allowing them to challenge her birth right put them both on the spot and if they accepted it then they both would look greedy and power hungry. " I wish no ill on these two. some of us just are bot born with a pure heart and some of us desire power for greed rather than good." the council looked at her in complete awe and shock. one man cleared his throat and looked at rhaelynn father then at rhaelynn sitting in the audience. " miss Emma...." Emma interrupted him, " you mean queen." she stated matter factly. " sorry, my queen," he continued, " if they were to accept this challenge how woukd you shift given your condition?" Emma smiled coyly. " I can shift given any Condition your honor. please do not underestimate the abilities I have." she waited a moment as she shifted into her white wolf. there before the council for all to see her crest on her shoulder. she was indeed of royal blood and the council gasped. she transitioned back into her human form grabbing a robe to cover her naked body. " I have the ability to shift pregnant or not. condition or not." Emma put a huge emphasis on the word condition. all the men started murmuring around her and rhaelynn shot up out of her chair. " I challenge her! I would never accept her as my queen! she has been living with the humans!" rhaelynn shot Emma a devilfish glare as her father looked at her mortified. " sit down you stupid girl!" he snarled at his daughter. " she bares the crest there is no challenge now! a challenge woukd mean death!" he looked at her like she was an i***t. rhaelynn didn't care. she wanted Colin. Emma smiled before she addressed the challenge from rhaelynn. " I woukd accept this challenge " Colin grabbed her arm. whispering in Emma's ear , "what are you doing Emma you are pregnant. " " trust me my dear husband. everything will be fine amd when I am done promise you will wear that crown to bed." she winked at Colin. " f**k, you are so f*****g hot!" he adjusted his pants to stop his d**k from being strangled. she kissed his lips lightly and turned back to the council. her eyes on the stuffy men sitting in their chairs unsure of how to proceed. " so, " Emma started, " where does this death challenge happen? I assure I will be fine." she smiled at them waiting for them to respond. rhaelynn father tried to deny the challenge afraid for his daughter. " it has already been accepted and I don't want anyone to doubt that I am indeed the rightful heir to the throne that you men seem to be trying to deny me. so please let's ready for the battle.emma turned her eyes slyly on rhaelynn father, " i assure you sir, " a smirk on her lips, " that I will show your daughter the same respect that she has shown me. mercy for mercy " Emma bowed never taking her eyes off of him. " since the challenge has been put forth and accepted, " rhaelynn father sighed with disbelief. " then we shall have our battle. this battle for the title is to the death unless the winning opponent wants to grant mercy. " he looked once more at his daughter pleading for her to back down. rhaelynn was so blind with jealousy and greed she refused to back down amd concede. " to the arena." the entire council and audience rose and begun to walk towards the arena. colin kissed Emma on her forehead. " please be careful. she fights dirty. I couldn't live without you or the babies. " he held her close to his chest and breathed in her scent. Emma smiled at him. " I plan on giving her mercy if she will accept it. I may not like her but I do not wish her dead. killing her is not my plan at all. Hopefully, her and her father take this as a warning. " Colin looked at her questioningly, " the warning is that you are mine. title or not. I can live without the title but," she smiled at her husband. " I could never live without my family. " she winked as she walked towards the arena.
