Marly POV “Absolutely not. There has to be another option. Can’t you step in?” I demand of the King. “I will do my best. We will be present to assure it was a clean kill,” the King responded. “It is not good enough to do your best. I have never asked you for anything. I am asking now,” I replied with tears in my eyes. “Nothing will happen to Carson,” Alex promised, standing tall beside our father. I looked to him, relief in my eyes. Nodding, “Okay,” I replied, stepping back closer to Carson. “I cannot lose you,” I said to him for what felt like the millionth time. “You will not lose me,” Carson vowed. Breathing easier I took a seat in Carson’s arms. Everyone stood around talking about strategies for dealing with the hearing, when the doctor came rushing in. We all looked at him in surprise. “I am sorry to barge in, my King, but we have learned something disturbing,” he advised us. “What is it?” the King inquired. “It seems
Carson POV I lay there with Marly in my arms. My eyes had closed, but I was very aware she was close to me. I felt stronger than I had felt in some time. The pain of the poison coursing through my body had been brutal and I was breathing easier at the relief. I had no idea what the poison was. It was stronger than wolfsbane, and worse than being cuffed with silver. I felt the sparks between Marly and me, which was giving me comfort and assuring me she was mine. I could not believe all that we had been through. All that we had overcame. The bastard who had tried to steal Marly from me was dead. I was grateful that he had died from my hands. I slowly opened my eyes as I heard the door to my room open. I saw the doctor enter and look at me in shock, “How is this possible?” he murmured as he stepped closer to me. “I do not know, but I am very grateful to still be here,” I replied softly. I did not want to wake Marly, so I encouraged the docto
Marly POV I raced towards the hospital arriving as they brought Carson in. I could see sweat on his face, as his body fought the poison. I knew Kane would be trying to get rid of the poison, but it would depend on how strong it was as to how long Kane would be able to fight it himself. I stepped forward, taking Carson’s hand, holding on tightly as he was rushed through the hospital corridors. “Miss, you will need to wait outside,” the nurse told me. “No, I am staying with him. He is my mate,” I replied firmly. The nurse frowned, before saying, “Stay out of the way.”. I knew what to I needed to do. I wanted to be there, to hear what they were saying. To know of the concerns they had. We entered the room where there was already a team of doctors waiting. They quickly placed Carson on a table, starting to get him hooked up to machines and checking his vitals. I knew he was not marked by me yet, but I could feel his pain and wondered how he
Carson POV It destroyed me that Marly still had to worry about this bastard being free. I knew I needed to be part of the team that found him. And I would destroy him myself, rather than give him the chance at an appeal. “They are tracking him towards the north border. We have to stop him before he reaches or he will be in no man’s land,” Alex said. We raced towards the area he is being tracked in our wolves, not stopping knowing time was of the essence. As we got closer, there were howls of excitement from the warriors chasing their prey. It caused Kane to speed up, “We will get him, Carson; he needs to be destroyed,” he said to me, panting from exertion. “We will, Kane, we will,” I assured him. I knew the man claiming to be Marly’s mate would not be able to shift. He would still have silver cuffs on him and had received a dose of wolfsbane before the trial. I would fight him in my human form. “We will fight him however we need to, Carson.
Marly POV I felt my heart race as we waited for the verdict. “This was not an easy conclusion to come to,” the judge started. My heart sank. Was this going to be upsetting? What would it all mean? Could they take me away from Carson? I felt Carson tense beside me as he wrapped his arm around me, offering as much strength and comfort as he could. “In the case of kidnapping, and torture we find you both guilty,” the judge stated. There was a roar of excitement in the room as people were pleased that both men were found guilty of these crimes. “Quiet down, or you will all be removed from this proceeding,” the judge stated harshly. Both men yelled at the verdict, and the judge growled his displeasure. “In the case of Marly being claimed by the defendant, we cannot confirm nor deny that. Only the two of them know for certain the truths behind these claims,” he went on to say. I felt nauseous that there was even a remote question about this tru
Marly POV I sat there in complete humiliation. How could anyone believe such a ridiculous question? I heard murmurings across the crowd, and I had a moment of anxiety wondering what people were thinking of me. “That is an absolute lie!” I exclaimed to the lawyer. He smirked, “How would you explain allowing your mate to mark you?” he questioned. “I did not let him mark me; he attacked me,” I responded as the lawyer continued to pick at me. “Can you deny that you wanted him to mark you?” he asked. “Yes, I can deny that I wanted him to mark me,” I stated calmly and confidently. “Can you deny you like some kink in your life?” he asked. “I can deny I like kink in my life,” I said quietly. “Well then, I guess the only other question I have is what special powers do you have that you have robbed your mate of having access to?” the lawyer inquired. I looked at him and then the two men in disgust. “As a result of the attacks of these two men, I hav
