My Tortured Mate Chapter 7 MINOR TRIGGER WARNING

Preston

He helped his mate up, furious all over again when she lifted her hand to press it against her ribs. Goddess how he had hated King Luis before but now he wanted to see the man lying dead at his feet for what he had done to the love of his life. He led them deeper into the woods towards the clan border. All they had to do was make it beyond the border to safely fly to Deegan, Suddenly Lonna stopped and clutched at his arm.

“There’s a cake in the oven!”

He sighed. “Alright. I’ll go tend to it. Keep in that direction. I will catch up to you guys. Don’t stop for nobody.” He forced her head up. “Promise that you won’t stop for anything.”

She shifted Lily in her arms. “I promise.” She leaned against him to kiss him passionately. “Just hurry, please.”

He cupped her face. “I will.”

He waited to make sure they were going in the right direction before sprinting back towards his house. He let Onye’s scales cover his arm so that he could pull the burned cake out of the oven. He turned the oven off before deserting the house once again. He darted through the woods, following his family’s scents.

A whimper a few dozen yards ahead of him made him push himself harder. He leaped a tree trunk and entered a clearing where a strange woman, four men and the king had his mate on her knees with a dagger to her throat. He quickly scanned the clearing until his eyes found his daughter being held with a sharp talon to her neck. He bared his teeth as he walked out of the trees.

“Just let us go,

We won’t cause you any problems,” Preston begged.

King Luis clucked his tongue. “Now, why would I do that and leave my clan defenseless? You are after all the second–best gammia in all of the kingdoms.” He laughed coldly. “Do tell me where could you be hurrying off to so quickly?”

“Nowhere. We were just going for a walk.”

He snapped his fingers and the man standing behind Lonna ran the blade over her neck, making her blood drip slowly from the shallow wound. Preston took a step towards her, stopping when his daughter cried out. He turned towards her, growling at the man who was grinning like a fool as he put pressure on her throat with his talon.

“Don’t lie to me! Anastasia, do it.”

The strange woman eagerly moved forward to inject something into his mate, making her scream in agony. Searing pain passed through their link and he clenched his jaw to keep from letting them know how much her pain was affecting him. The king laughed and jovially clapped his hands together.

“That right there is a true gamma, fellas. Never show weakness. I wonder how strong he will be if we injected the little bitch.”

Anastasia gleefully moved towards Lily and Preston sank to his knees. “Please, Sire, don’t hurt her. She’s just a baby.”

The king walked over to Lily and picked her up by her wrist. She screamed out in pain and the king laughed. He lifted her higher and Preston clenched his jaw again. The king shook her before dropping her to the ground. The sound of her leg breaking echoed around the clearing. The king raised an eyebrow,

“Interesting. I thought humans were more sturdy. Guess not,” he scoffed. “Anyways, let me explain to you what your mute was just give

given.”

He held his fund out and Anastasia gave him another needle. He walked over to Preston with the three other men who held him still while the king injected the contents into his arm. He smirked as he held the now empty syringe.

“This is a boundary potion. If you cross Lotus borders without my permission or try to contact Sterling, your mate will die. The same goes for her. And then when one of you dies the other won’t be too far behind and then,” he slapped his forehead with a thoughtful expression on his face, “who would protect the little whore?” His grin widened. “I could think of half a dozen things she could be used for.”

Preston met Lonna’s fearful eyes and sighed in resignation. “I swear we won’t leave Lotus. Just please don’t hurt Lily. She is innocent.”

The king tossed his head back to utter a cold laugh. “Nobody is innocent, Least of all that cunt. She shouldn’t be alive. I should have left her to die.” He shrugged. “Well, not much I can do about it now.”

He walked over to Lonna to grip her throat and pull her up. He pressed his lips to hers before cupping her breast. Preston bit back a growl and glanced.

around again, trying to determine if he could take everyone in time. He knew he could take the dragons but he wasn’t so sure about the witch. Power oozed out of her and he had tangled with a witch before and lost.

“It is not wise to not be paying attention to me, Preston.” Preston turned his gaze back to the king who had shoved his hand down his mate’s pants. “As I was saying, you will keep this thing safe. She will prove very valuable to our kingdom later on.”

He pulled his hand out of Lonna’s pants and brought it to his nose to inhale deeply. A satisfied smile crossed his face as he licked his fingers clean before he patted her cheek.

“You smell just like my main whore.” He clapped his hands again and she was shoved roughly to the ground. The king kicked her in the stomach, smicking at Preston. “I expect to see you at training in an hour but I really hope you don’t so that I can extract your punishment from your beautiful

mate.

Preston narrowed his eyes on the man. “Tll be there,” he said tersely.

He laughed again as he walked through the portal that Anastasia had opened, followed by the rest of the men. Preston hurried towards his mate who pushed him away.

“Lily,”

He quickly picked up their little girl and set her in his mate’s arms and breathed his fire over them while Lonna held Lily’s leg in place. They slowly healed while Preston positioned himself behind them.

“I swear to you, haby, I will figure a way out of this mess

She smiled up at him sadly. “You always do.”

He tucked her against his chest and put his check on her forehead. “He will pay for hurting you two. I promise you that he will suffer for this.” He took a deep breath. “I will make sure of it.”
