Adrian and Tyler faced off on the training ground of the castle where everyone had already gathered to watch, it was still bright out so there were able to fight with ease.Tyler threw off his black cloak and revealed what he was wearing under a black tunic and long tight fitting tan pants, bound together with a rope at his waist. His face was scrunched up in anger. He slowly drew a long sword from his belt slowly, the blade made a hissing whisper as it was removed from the sheathe. All the while, Adrian was holding Tyler firmly in his gaze.Adrian was wearing a blue sleeveless shirt and loose fitting black pants. on each hand Adrian had small daggers that shined bright under the light of the sky. Adrian bent down and stretched his back. He turned his neck from left to right and popping it with a series of clicks in rapid succession. Then, he proceeded to do the same with the rest of his body as he loosened up the rest of his body.“I am going to teach you a lesson, you messed
Serena ran to him wrapping her hands around Adrian pulling him in for a hug she was so damn proud of him that she couldn't stop smiling, she looked up staring into his eyes a glint of amusement shining in his eyes"I love that you are hugging me but I'm sweaty and dirty so please let go before I get you dirty too" Adrian said with a small smile."i dont mind hugging you because,I'm so proud of you, you put that idiot in his place and he had it coming the first time he disrespected you" Serena said as she held on to him tighter."you were so fast i couldn't even keep up with you".Serena said as she continued to praise Adrian her mate, he did this because Shadow felt threatened by the other male, he shouldn't have been, Serena's heart belonged to them alone and nothing is going to change that, Serena thought as a smile spread across her face."I warned him before we started, Shadow can be petty when he wants to be and he wanted to teach that brat a lesson and i kind of enjoyed beating th
When Queen Ella had left Stephen turned to face them, "I want to apologise to you properly, for keeping quiet when that brat was running his mouth, it was childish and inappropriate, I'm sorry" Stephen said turning to face Adrian. "We are not going to forgive you that easily, you should have stepped in when he grabbed me but you did nothing, if not for that other man Adrian would have killed that brat" Serena said in a matter of fact tone."I-I, nothing can justify what I did and I apologise. I hope you forgive me one day" Stephen said with his head downcast. "I can't say what you did wasn't childish but I understand why you couldn't speak up, you didn't want to disrespect your subordinate in front of you men but it still doesn't make it right" Adrian said showing no emotion."Like my mate said, you will have to work for her forgiveness but with me you have to earn my trust" Adrian said.Stephen gave him a slight nod before he walked away leaving Serena and Adrian alone."Come on let
"She can handle herself boy don't you worry" Adrian said smiling at her playful antics."You know my name is Stephen right?, not boy," Stephen said with his brow arched, Adrian shrugged turning to focus on his mate who was furious with the woman standing before her."I'm sure he can speak for himself," Amelia said, ignoring Serena turning to face Adrian."if you are as good as you say, you won't mind taking on my mate," Adrian said emphasizing o the word mate. "So if I win you will give me lessons" Amelia asked, batting her eyes at Adrian."That's if you win" Adrian said confidently as a scowl made its way to Amelia's face, Amelia turned to Serena who had already taken off her shirt and she was left in her tank top and pair of joggers."Okay I will take you on," Amelia said smugly as everyone gathered around them to watch the fight. "Lets keep this clean the first to draw blood wins" Stephen said as he stood in as a referee for the match, if Aunt Ella found out she would surely kill
He carried her back to the room putting on one of his shirts on her tucking her in bed, he left to change into a pair of boxer before taking his position beside her, drawingher close wrapping his hand around her till she was pressed against him, "Goodnight Serena" Adrian mumbled but Serena had already fallen asleep, he smiled pulling the blanket over their bodies before let his tired body fall asleep.It was later in the evening Serena and Adrian woke up to get something to eat, thoughts of their love making came to mind causing her to blush, she loved how gentle Adrian was and how Shadow took control. She loved them and nothing was going to change that, they met Sophia in the kitchen making dinner for the soldiers. "Hello Sophia good evening and how was your day?" Serena asked, smiling at the old woman who reminded her of her second mother who took care of her and protected her from the pack which got her killed. They were still going to pay, she would love watching the Red-Moon pac
"You still think your father's power can help you, i don't think you really understand the gravite of your situation George, you fucked up,and no one can save you not even your father from the wrath of the queen" Stephen said as George's scowl disappered and was replaced with awareness and fear. "Now that's the look you should be wearing, hope to God that the Queen is in a good mood when she arrives. And you might receive a merciful punishment," Stephen said."Jack and Silas the two of you should clean up after yourselves, we are going to take Sophia to her room and the rest of you get back to the Barracks, you should be in the arena bright and early tomorrow or else" Stephen said as he walked up to us taking Sophia's hands in his as he brought her up to her feet."And for those who still want to test my patience and not be at the arena by the appointed time, you will face my anger and trust me you don't want to be on the receiving end of my anger" Stephen said while we were walking t
We watched as Sophia begged "I'm sorry I will tell the Queen it was my fault, she won't punish you" Sophia said as she tried to reason with him. "But she won't punish you like you deserve so I rather watch you die" George said catching up to her before he drove the dagger through her heart, Sophia cried out in pain before the life in her eyes left and she fell on the bed bleeding out. Then the memory stopped playing and George groaned in pain as he began to gain consciousness."George Carlton son of Duke Carlton for your crimes against the Country and her people, I sentence you to death by the firing squad" the Queen said calmly no emotions showing in her eyes but Serena watched her fist clench by her side as she was about to continue speaking "And Stephen you shall be giving ten lashes for you violent display in the throne room, guards take the criminal away" the Queen said as the guards dragged George away."But Stephen-" Serena was about to defend her cousin but Adrian put his hand
The next day the Queen arrived bright and early and her mood wasn't encouraging at all, Stephen and Adrian and Serena had to meet her in the throne room few hours after she had arrived"Welcome back Aunt Ella so how did it go" Stephen asked with a frown appearing on Ella's face. "His father was furious that I took the words of commoners to his son's word but when I told him that I had seen him kill her myself through the memory spell, his anger lessened but he was still angry". Ella said but they all knew what was coming next wasn't going to be good news. "So what is going to happen now?" Adrian asked as we all dreaded her answer."They want the matter to he taken to the grand high court after the winter ball which means Sir George will be locked up in that barracks till the winter ball Is over, they don't want to be the talk of the town that why I think they decided to take this route""How is that fair, you saw him kill her so why can they demand another trial" Serena asked angry a
