The blonde queen blinked. “What?”
“Daisy is my mate, as well,” Blaze offered. “She belongs to all of us, as we all belong to her. We’ve chosen one mate together and we’re devoted to her.”
And hell broke loose.
The queens yelled at each other, then at the princes. It was really hard to make sense of what they said as their raised voices overlapped each other.
My princes looked baffled, then Iokul stepped to my other side, his arm sliding around my waist. Blaze moved to behind me since his brothers had taken the spot on either side of me. The fire-dragon prince placed a possessive hand on my shoulder to lay his claim.
“Do not yell around me,” the king thundered. “Quiet! With all of you going off like that, I can’t even think straight. I need to sort this mess out. Silence!”
The queens stopped talking but still glared at each other, then at the sons of the other queens. Then all the glares shot my way.
I tried to smile to the best of my ability and controlled my urge to shift to my dragon and flee from the room.Stop being a coward!I scolded myself.
“Oh, hi, hello, everyone, good king and queens,” I said, my voice husky.
Apart from staring hard at me, they ignored me, and my mates scowled at their snubs.
“What do you mean she’s mated to all of you?”King Oriel demanded.
“She’s mated to all of us,” Rai said proudly. “She chose us all as her true loves.”
King Oriel punched his palm with a big fist before holding up a finger. “Let me get this straight. The three of you rushed to answer KingDaghda’s bounty call in order to take the three heads of the Fury beasts, so you could inherit his kingdom. Instead of acting as the mighty warriors you were born to be, you played lovers. And instead of cutting off the beast’s heads and bringing the biggest dragon kingdom to me, you married an unknown maiden secretly because she’s pretty.You’ve always made messes, but you’ve never fucked up to this magnitude. This is unthinkable!And the three of you hotheaded idiots, who have never agreed on anything, agreed to share one woman?”
“It’s not what it looks like, Father,” Blaze protested.
“It’s exactly what it looks like!” the king spat out.
“Let me put it this way,” said Blaze. “It’s not because Daisy is so pretty that we want her. Sheisthe most beautiful woman I’ve ever laid eyes on. But it’s not because of that. She’s my true mate. My dragon recognized her as such at first sight.”
“And there was no time to ask your permission, Father,” Rai chimed in. “We were under attack onPandemonium from hunters, monsters, and demons. There are even blood-drinking vampires on that planet.”
“If I asked your permission, Rai and Iokul would have taken my mate and left me in the cold.”
“And should I have asked your permission first,” Iokul said, “I’d have lost my mate forever. There was a point when Blaze and Rai worked together to force me out of the game.”
“So, this was a game?” the king asked.
“No!” my three mates shouted in unison.
“All our dragons, all three of us, knew she’s our mate,” Rai said, trying to be patient.
“This is utterly ridiculous! I’ve never heard of such a thing—my three sons bonded to one woman. This is unorthodox. The Oslan Dominion won’t accept this union. The unauthorized marriage is annulled, as I speak.”
The queens all nodded. I’d bet my life that they’d never agreed on anything before.
“Father, don’t forget you have three mates as well,” Iokul said. “How could you have such double standards?”
“Watch who you’re speaking to, son!” the king warned.
“The mating between us is sacred, and we’re bonded to Daisy for eternity,” Blaze said. “No one and nothing can sever our mating bond, not even our ancestral gods and goddesses.”
The queens gasped.
“How dare you defy your king?”King Oriel roared, and the queens cowered at his loudness.
“Think of it this way, Father,” Iokul said.“With all three of us bonded to one mate, you’ll never need to worry about a civil war breaking out between us. We brothers will never be divided, and no domestic or foreign forces could cut between us ever again. We’re now true brothers, like we should have been all these years, despite Blaze still being annoying and rude.”
