chapter 10
Tabby pov
Oh this was it. And i was going to gloat about this all the way toward the dungeon, I knew he was upset last night so i went to his room, he didn't waste any time throwing me down on the bed having his way with me, and i let him., i thought he was going to mark me, i felt his cat fangs graze my neck, and then nothing, dam, it something was holding him back, and as soon as we get rid of this b***h then he will make me his, I just know he will, last night was just all around s****l and talking about the future, i knew he was just mad at Taylor, but maybe just maybe he will make me his queen,
“Can I go with the warriors to get her out of the cells, i don't want her escaping, I will break her neck if she tries anything.” He grabbed me by the neck thrusting back inside of me, what the hell caused that i don't care, when the sun came up and we where done, i asked him again if i could go with rest of them to go get her, his eyes flashed back in forth, than it was him once again,
"Yeah, you can go with them, but leave her be, do not lay a hand on her unless she tries to escape, is that clear Tabby?” I nodded. i was walking out the door when he grabbed me by the arm, pushing me against the wall, he looked me dead in the eye,
“I mean it Tabby, Do not lay a hand on her. I see one mark then I will have your head in my hands. leave her to me.” I nodded and for once I was fearful of him. the look in his eyes scared me, I went to my room showered and headed outside toward the warriors that was going to bring her to the courtyard, i looked at the strapping pole, it looked so dangerous i almost felt sorry for her, The head warrior Christy cleared her throat, we all looked over at her and didn’t say a word, we all knew how she was. if you say one word you will be running laps all day, so we didn’t say a word until she spoken,
“Alright guys, We are going to march down the dungeon steps and get her out of the cell, we are not going to lay one hand on her, this is orders from the king, And Tabby, if you say one word to her about what you and Callahan had done last night, Yes we all heard you because his window was open. We don’t need to hear the play by play. you say one word to her you will be cut from the warrior team and made to clean the pack house for a month, is that clear. i have my orders from Callahan.” I was stunned, he knew what i was going to do when i went to get her with the rest. sighing, i said, Yes ma’am, I wont say a word,
“Good, now let's get going and go get her. she is probably waiting for us to come.” We stood in line then marched toward the dungeon. Christy opened the door then we all marched down the steps, it stunk down here, it smelled of urine blood and rogue, we all were looking around making sure there wasn't any rats that was going to jump down at us, i saw a few spiders and mice running around. rogues growled at us while we walked by them, i did not like being here at all, we made it to the cells, she was sitting with her knees to her chest her head laying down on them, i almost felt sorry for her, i only smirked when she rose her head looking up at us, I grinned at her as Christy stood in front of us, she had the key in her hand.
“Taylor, we are here to take you to the court yard to be sentenced, we were told not to lay a hand on you so please stand up if you can not on your own i will help you.” I watched her get up on her own, i could tell the chains they put on her were heavy, she almost fell, Christy hurried over to help her stand up, again i almost felt sorry for her, but that went away when She walked by me shoving me out of the way, I was going to say something, but Christy looked over at me mind linking me,
‘Don’t you dare say a fu”cking word, she heard yall last night, what the h3ll do you think she was going to do,” I thought to myself good she heard, now she knows i will be queen, But how did she hear us, i ran back to her cell and saw a window way up high so no one could escape, it only let a little light inside, oh thats how. i ran back toward them up the steps, i was the last one out, i did not like that place at all, it creeped me out, We walked her to the court yard where everyone was standing around watching us, We let Christy tie each hand to the pole, I wasn't sure if i wanted to stand here and watch this, i wanted her gone not hurt, i wasn't even really sure if she did kill the king, Taylor loved the family, she was raised by her mother when her father died of a rogue attack, then her mother passed away with heartbreak, I remember it all to wellI started thinking hard. I couldn't just stand here and watch this, I had to leave. She wasn't my friend, I didn't like her, but I was not going to stand here and watch her get hurt, Noone was watching me when I left. All eyes were on Taylor, a few others I noticed slipped away, probably thinking the same thing she couldn’t have done this to the king.
Taylor pov
When they came to get me i saw Tabby, i knew she was gloating about last night, that girl could scream the top of her lungs, i knew Callahan left the window open so i could hear, shoot everyone could hear her with the screams she was screaming, my cat wanted to rip her face off right here and now But i stopped her, I told her now was not the time, When Christy helped me back up, she walked me passed them i shoved right by her, she knew i heard and she was gloating all about it, Christy kept whispering to me so no one could but me, she was on my side, but she had to do what Callahan asked her to do.
“I’m sorry Taylor, i know you didn’t do this, but i have to take you to the courtyard, i'm sorry for what is going to happen next,” I didn’t say a word to her she knew what she said meant to me, She walked me to the pole and tied my hands to each pole, then stepped away from me, i didn’t see her walk away from the courtyard. i didn’t even see Tabby walk away, all i heard was a loud growl, I knew who it belonged to, I looked up and looked right into his eyes, it was Callahan, and he was wearing his fathers crown on his head he wasn't looking to happy at all when i looked directly into his eyes, no king likes that, it was meant to be a challenge when you do so, There he was standing right in front of me looking right back at me with so much anger in those eyes. i knew what he was going to do was going to hurt very badly,
Callahan pov
I knew the girls was going to be heading to the dungeon, i told Chirsty not to let Tabby say a word about last night to Taylor, i am sure she had heard like the rest of everyone else had, i made sure of that, i left the window open on purpose i wanted to hurt her, but i regretted it in the morning, i should had never slept with this girl, she now thinks im going to make her my queen, i almost marked her last night but Bane had stopped it, i thanked him over and over again because i did not want her as my mate or queen, Mom mate me king when she woke up and announced it to everyone that i was now king, she put the crown that belonged to my father on my head. I waited until Taylor was tied to the pole then i came out, many had left they did not want to watch this, they told me that they seriously doubt that she had killed the king, im sorry but you did not see what i saw when i got to the clearing, the only bodies we saw was the guards and a few warriors, with her holding the king in her arms, she was coated in his blood. i knew i was angry, when i walked up to her, i growled wanting her to feel fear from me, when she looked up at me she looked right into my eyes with fear. good she feared me, my cat Bane was whimpering, telling me not to do this to our mate she did not want to do this. i shut him out until it was over, i had to look away from her, the mate bond was getting stronger and i had to look away from her, i will reject her later when i find another mate,
‘Everyone, we are here today to punish the very person that killed my father, your king, she is here today strapped to this pole, to get her slashes, Taylor York, you are hereby guilty of killing your king my father, you are going to get thirty slashes, then you will be banished from the kingdom, your stuff is pushed into a duffle bag in laid at the edge of our territory, if you try to step one foot on this land ever again you will be killed, we will have no mercy on you, you are hereby a rogue.” my mother gave me the whip, i cracked it hitting her hands with it, i walked were her back was to me, i cut the back so her back was shown to everyone, then i began to whip her back thirty times, the first hit, i wanted to stop, but i looked at my mother with tears in her eyes, i had to do this, i hated it, but i had to, two, three, i kept going, hearing her screams of agony with me slashing her back, her legs gave out from underneath her she was now hanging by her hands, 29 then thirty, her whole back was slashed and bloodied, i threw the whip down walked over to her untying her hands, she fell into my arms, she was out, i knew what i had to do,
“Me and a few guards will take her to the edge of the territory, the guards and i will kill her if she tries anything,” I watched as everyone stepped away and left, i carried her with a few of my guards to the edge, i took the duffle bag and dressed her carefully not to hurt her,
“Why are you doing this, she's rogue now my king,”
“Yes i know, but i can’t leave her out here naked even if she killed my father, i can’t leave her like this.'' I left her there walking away. It took everything in my power not to turn back to go get her and bring her back home. When we were far enough away, i took out my phone my pocket and made a phone call, when they picked up the phone, i began to speak,
“Hey man, long time no talk, got a few minutes, i need a big favor,” when the call ended we were back home, i told the guards not to say one word about what i just talked about with the person on the phone.
"Yes my king." After that was settled we made it back to the territory, .
