Remo's POV
I was glaring at the bästard that was standing in front of me. He was shivering. Good.
"Christian take her away." I ordered my second in command.
He immediately obliged. My mate trembled and stepped away from him, which angered me more.
"Please don't!" A girl ran towards my mate followed by an older man and woman. I snapped my eyes at her and she casted hers down looking at my mate.
I growled and mind linked Christian.
'Who the fück is she?'
'I don't know.' He replied.
"King Remo she hasn't done anything!" She cried and I clenched my fists.
I don't know who this chick is but I respect her for standing up for my mate.
'Christian take her away.'
Christian ignored the girl and took my mate by her hand, and I resisted the urge to break his hand, reminding myself that he will never touch her again, if not to protect her.
"Come." Christian's voice softened but no one noticed, and if I wasn't his best friend I wouldn't have noticed either.
She tried to stand up on her wobbly legs but failed. My second in command put his hand around her waist to help her walk steadily, but she flinched away from his touch.
"Fück!" I turned around and looked at the sorry excuse of an alpha in front of me.
"King-" He tried to speak but I beat him.
"You are a dead man!" I roared approaching him.
I put my hand around his neck and pulled him away from the floor throwing him aside.
He fell with a thud.
"You dare put your hands on my mate? MY mate!" I screamed in his face and he froze.
"Y-your m-mate? There must be a mistake!" His eyes widened and he stood up.
"Who are you to decide that?" I hissed.
"Her ex-mate." A woman next to him replied emphasizing the word 'ex'.
I tried to calm myself. I need to be collected in these situations.
'Remo you can't kill him yet!' Maddox mind linked me.
'Why the fück not?'
'Remember!' He closed his mind and I cursed internally.
"I won't kill you today, but I promise to do it and soon. The girl you tried to kíll is my mate and if I hear that you uttered her name I will kill every motherfücker in this pack. Understood?"
No one uttered a word. They all stood frozen looking at the floor in fear.
I turned and looked at the girl from earlier.
"Did you train before?" I asked her.
"Yes my king!" She replied.
"Good. Since you were the one that stood up for my mate you will be rewarded. You will join the royal army by next week. Be ready."
Without another glance I marched out of this shïtty pack's territory, feeling as if I will explode any second now. Maddox followed me silently.
"I never thought you will have a mate." Maddox snorted and I smirked.
"Neither did I. I really don't know what to do with her." I shrugged.
Ella's POV
I passed out from exhaustion. I felt my cuts healing, but I knew they will leave ugly scars.
I opened my eyes slowly to find myself in a dark room. I was sleeping on the bed, my hair was wet and I was in a new set of clothes.
"Calm down mate." I instantly knew the rough voice of the lycan king.
"Don't kill me." I whispered.
His eyes glowed for a second in the dark and I coward away from him.
"I don't hurt women." He snapped. "You are safe here." He growled, but it was hard to believe him.
Every male I knew in my life hurt me.
"I need answers." He said after a while.
I frowned. I knew nothing about my pack. I was always kept in the dark.
"I don't know anything about my old pack I swear. I don't have any valuable information." I said.
"I don't need fücking information about the pack dämn it!" He yelled slamming his fist in the chair, breaking it.
My eyes widened as I looked at him, waiting for him to hit me. Why do I fall in the hands of vicious men every time!
"King R-"
"Remo. Just Remo." He said trying to calm himself.
"O-okay." I replied unsure. "You said you need answers."
"Why were you going to be executed?"
"Alpha Dean is my mate. Well was he rejected me."
"That's not a valid reason." He growled.
I sobbed remembering that day, when my parents were executed. Falsely. I hate that pack. I hate my ex mate.
I couldn't tell him that my father was believed to be a traitor. He won't believe that he wasn't.
I put my head between my legs and let my tears slide on my face. I heard his footsteps and his sigh.
I winced at the pain in my back.
"Uh calm down." He said unsure and I almost laughed at his failed attempt at calming me down if it wasn't for my fear.
"Your savior just came!" Christian entered the room. I remember his name from when Remo ordered him to take me.
He is the beta!
2 powerful males were standing looking at me.
"Hey! It's okay we won't hurt you." Christian said in a more soothing voice.
"Why did you soften your voice like that?" Remo asked grumpily.
"So I don't scare her. She looks like she has been through hell." He rolled his eyes at the king!
"I don't understand these fücking emotions." He snapped.
"I will teach you someday my friend." Christian smirked.
I looked at them shocked, because all my life I heard about the ruthless trio, Remo, Christian and the third in command.
They kill every soul that crosses them. They are lycans after all, the most powerful creatures to exist.
I can feel the power in the room surrounding me, but it was strangely calming, like I’m in the safest place on earth.
