She shuddered at the prospect.
Fate wouldn’t fail her now. Adelina would keep her word.
“Don’t worry,” the king said with a wave of his hand. “She’s already here. The Queen of Dragawillbow before me.”
Then the doors behind her burst open and Kaita ducked as plasma fire scorched the room. Four guards dropped instantly, and five more fell from blades in their throats.
Then it all stopped.
Kaita dared a glance over her shoulder.
The queen had arrived.
And there was nothing in her face Kaita recognized.
“Oh my dear, how lovely you’ve become,” the king said. The way he smiled on that throne of his with his leg crossed at the knee…
As he took a loud crunching bite from the fruit and tossed it away Kaita felt her hatred for him burn.
“Welcome, my little queen,” the king purred.
Kaita saw the king consort with Nash, as well as three queen’s guards behind Adelina before she turned back to the king. They outnumbered the Neprijat now. They could take them if they were willing to get their hands a little dirty.
If they were willing to sacrifice anything.
What else would she sacrifice today?
Adelina strode forward and no one breathed.
The king’s smile widened and he beckoned her forward with black nails that mirrored Adelina’s own.
The queen bumped against Kaita and kept moving – ignoring the protests of her husbands.
Kaita palmed the bracelet and put her hands behind her back to slide it on while everyone’s gaze was fixated on the young queen walking straight toward the Neprijat king. She had no idea what Adelina had planned, but it was going to be messy and Kaita had to be ready.
Crazy female.
Pressing her thumb to the bracelet she heard the slight hum as it activated. Roxy did as well. The female nudged Delphine and the female warrior on her other side. They would be ready the moment Adelina gave them an opportunity to take down the last of the guards.
Sweat poured down Kaita’s face as she watched the Queen of Draga.
Then Adelina did the last thing Kaita thought she would ever do. She deactivated her helmet and dropped to her knees before the king. “I’ve come as you asked,” she whispered. “I am truly sorry it took so long.”
Even the king was stunned at the sight before him.
This was her trick – distracting the king long enough for them all to do what needed to be done. Risking her life for this opportunity.
Crazy, reckless female.
The king could take her before they made the final killing blow – he could use her against them and Kaita knew her mates would do anything to keep her out of the male’s grasp.Anything.
Kaita risked a glance at Nash but the male was as white as a sheet, his eyes stuck on Adelina.
Varan though…there was nothing of the male left as he slumped to the floor dejectedly. His knees hit the marble so hard Kaita thought he might break something.
So she hadn’t told them.
They hadn’t known her plan – what she was willing to risk—to sacrifice.
