Viktor POV
I didnât want to leave her without making sure she was safe in the hands of Loren and the others.. but theyâd arrived quicker than Iâd originally thought they would.
I stared back at Violette.. I knew she was terrified. She held her swollen belly in her hands with tears in her eyes.. I didnât want to leave.. I didnât want to.. but Goddess help me if I donât keep them both safe.
I ran through the castle, seeing most of my men had already left to fight. The second I get my hands on Arthur.. I will make him pay for everything.
For Violette.. my brother.. my sister and mother.. my father⦠for everyone he had ever tortured.. I will make sure that he suffers until one of us has fallen.
The sight that was unfolding in front of me as I walked outside was.. awful. There were shifted wolves attacking my Lycans left and right.. but even with my men being Lycans.. there were just too many wolves. I rushed to the battle and shifted mid-air. Finding my first target I lunged at the mangy wolf and ripped his throat out within seconds.
âMy king, thereâs so many..â one of my guardâs mind linked me.
âTry to hold them from the castle as long as you can,â I growled, pushing my link to every man and woman of mine that was fighting. My Lycans were attacking several wolves at a time.. some being overpowered, most pushing through to kill more.
âHas anyone spotted Arthur?â I asked.
âNot yet, my king. But heâs here.. he has to be.â One of them replied.
I turned my back when I heard a snarl.. two wolves lunged at me and got me on the ground. That didnât last very long as I slashed my claws and snapped my teeth.. eventually crushing one of their skulls into the dirt with my paw and flinging the other into a tree.
Thatâs when I saw someone familiar.. Richard.
Memories of me allowing him to fondle my mate ran through my mind and I began to see red. Our eyes locked and he lowered his head and bared his teeth. I ran at him, at full speed..
Iâll kill him.. Iâll kill them all.
I lunged at him and we rolled on the ground. He bit my side and I slashed at his with every ounce of energy I had in me.
Richard is a good friend of Arthurâs.. I didnât doubt for a moment that heâd want to miss this battle. As I wrapped my claws around him he shifted back into his human form and slid from my grasp.
âShift and talk with me.. I know you have much to say.â He growled as he stood before me. I shifted and glared at him.
âHowâs that fine little slave of yours?â He asked with a smirk.
âMy mate.. she is my mate. I released her from my slave.â I growled.
âIt makes sense.. you wouldnât let me f**k her and make her beg for more..â he smiled. I growled as I lunged at him, wrapping my fingers around his throat and squeezing tightly.
âIâll kill you for ever touching her.. for ever thinking about her..â I growled. He smiled as he kicked me off and I rolled to the ground.
âYou allowed it.. or did you forget?â He asked. He let his claws drop from his fingertips and he slashed them at me, but I rolled away in time and stood up.
âWhereâs Arthur?â I growled.
âWaiting for me to get my fill. Iâm lusting for your b***d to cover my hands.â He growled. I let my claws slip out as well as I rushed towards him and slashed.
âHe will never get to her. Neither will you. I will make sure of that.â I growled.
âIs that so?â He asked. An uneasy feeling hit me in an instant. I didnât know why.. but I knew I had to kill him now.
I swung at him and slashed my claws deep into his chest. He let out a bowl of pain before returning the favor and slashing my arm. My vision went completely red as I tackled him to the ground and began slashing my claws at him fiercely.
âIâll kill you all!â I growled. He rolled me off of his and stood up, kicking me in the side and laughing.
âThereâs too many of us. Soon, there wonât be any of your men left.â He growled.
âYou may have twice the men.. but we are far stronger and faster than you could ever imagine,â I yelled.
âAfter Iâve killed you Iâll find that pretty mate of yours and f**k her till she bleeds.. then Iâll cut that pup from her belly and let it die.â He growled. As my rage grew I shifted and his eyes widened.. he was not touching my mate.. and he knew it.
I grabbed him up and my claws and squeezed so tight his face turned purple. He scratched at my massive furry arm but it was no use. I grabbed the top of his head and dug my claws into it, then shoved my fist into his chest and grabbed his ribs.
I pulled as hard as I could, breaking several of his ribs as he screamed in pain. I pulled so hard.. anger seeping from my every pore as I ripped his head clean off his body and dropped it to the ground with a thud.
I shifted back and yelled as loud as I could.
âWHERE IS KING ARTHUR?â I growled so loud many wolves and Lycans looked my way.
âMy king.. Violettes gone. Sheâs not in your chambers.. sheâs missing, and so is Boris.â Loren mind-linked me.
âYou were supposed to have her,â I growled. My skin began boiling.. where the f**k is she?
âWe arrived at an empty room.. we followed her scent through the hidden hall and outside where the carriage was supposed to be.. but itâs gone.. Sheâs gone..â he replied with fear laced into his voice.
