Warrior Princess
Chapter 49

3 days until the war

Kasens POV

I woke up this morning ready for anything the day throws at me. I look at my mate and she is still asleep. Her face is relaxed and she looks so peaceful. I hate to disturb that, but I know we have things we have to do today. Things we have to do together. I get out of bed and put on a pair of running pants. I go down the hall and peek in on Shawn. He looks like he just woke up.

“Morning, buddy. Want to help me make some breakfast for momma?” he rubs the sleep from his eyes and his blonde hair is in a mess. He trudges behind me like a zombie on a mission.

“What shall we make today?” he ponders for a bit.

“Chocolate chip pancakes!” I smile and pull out all of the ingredients we need. We get the batter mixed up and he takes his finger and dips it in the bowl, then splashes it on my cheeks.

“OH, it is on!” I chuckle out and grab a handful of flour and hold out my hand and blow it on him.

“How did a snowman get in here?” I ask. We start making breakfast and I feel hands snake around my waist.

“Morning, love.” Her sweet voice sends chills down my spine. I grab her hand that’s resting on my stomach and squeeze it.

“Look at all of this. Do I get to join in on the fun?” she asks. I look to Shawn and he looks at me. I nod and he takes the batter and smears it on her cheeks! She squeals from the shock of it all then narrows her eyes playfully at us.

Licking her fingers, she says, “Oh, this is delicious. It’s a shame I’m wearing it instead of making pancakes with it.” She k****s my cheek then shawns.

“Let’s go get washed up for breakfast, while daddy finishes up in here.” I like the sound of that. Atlas likes it too from the way he’s drooling over them. They are my family.

As im plating everything and setting the table Sam and Shawn come out washes, dressed, and wearing smiles.

“So, we have some things we need to take care of today. Do you want to hang out with your Grandmas or Auntie Gemma?” Sam asks.

“Gemma and uncle Jake!” I smile. Poor jake won’t get to join us on our interrogation then.

“I think we can arrange that. Then after how about we take you to the training grounds. Who do you think would win in a spar, mommy or me?” he looks between us.

“Ummmm, you’re both strong, but daddy for sure. He’s the strongest wolf ever!” he says in an animated tone. I smirk. Score one me. Sam kicks me under the table and I yelp.

“Well, see about that.” I chuckle.

“Can we see vampires fight too? I heard they’re really fast!” he’s very inquisitive.

“Well, see!”

We get everything cleaned up, and we head out towards Gemma’s apartment. Knocking a couple of times, she answers the door.

“Auntie Gemma!” he squeals and flings his small body into her arms.

“Look at you, handsome man!” Jake appears in the living room. “Are yall ready?” he asks and sam bites her l*p and shifts from foot to foot. A nervous habit I’ve picked up on.

“What?” he asks.

“Uncle Jake, I want you to play with me today.” He says with a big pout on his face. Poking his l*p out and somehow making his eyes look as big as silver dollars. I hear Jake whimper a bit. He is irresistible with that look and he’s looking like he’s figuring that out the hard way. I link him.

‘If you watch him, I will let you get a few punches in during training today, and ill let you carry out whatever sentence we give to Jenson.’ he smiles at that and nods. Hoisting Shawn up on his shoulders and walking out of the apartment.

“Oh, what things can we get into today buckaroo?”

I laugh and look at Gemma. “If you need Sam or me at all, just link us. We will take him to training today if you want to meet us there we just don’t want him to sit in on the interrogation.” She nods and hugs me than Sam. She’s sporting a small bump now. Walking out the door with us, Sam asks her how the pregnancy is coming along.

“The Nausea is absolutely awful, but she is strong.”

Sam lights up. “It’s a girl?” she squeals, and Gemma nods.

The girl talk lasts all the way downstairs until we part ways. I grab my mate’s hand and we walk down the stairs towards the basement cells. The guards at the door bow to us and Sam greets them with a warm smile. She exudes the true aura of a queen and Luna. We get in and Marcus and Josh are already waiting on us.

“Wheres Jake?” josh asks.

“He’s seeing what trouble he and my son can get into.” Sam chuckles out and everyone smiles.

“He really has come out of his shell. I couldn’t be happier for all 3 of you.” Josh says patting me on the back.

“So where are we at so far with the traitor?” I ask. Everyone instantly goes into work mode.

“Nothing so far. He’s been pretty closed off. We wanted to wait for you to do any real interrogation.” Marcus says with a smirk. I nod and open the door to his interrogation room. He is chained to the desk and his eyes have bags under them that are so dark they almost look black.

“Such a beautiful day outside. Don’t you think, my queen?” I ask her and she smiles and cups my cheek. “Yes.” is all she says. Jenson starts squirming trying to get out of his restraints.

“Calm down ‘old friend’.” I say with as much venom as I can. “I just want to talk.”

Although he knows he is f****d royally, no pun intended, he keeps his mouth shut.

“This can go either really easy for you or really difficult. Painless or more pain than you can imagine. Which one do you want to do?” I ask and he spits in my face. I was hoping he’d choose this option.

I get up and open the door for Josh and Marcus to come in. Marcus hands me a box and I set it on the table infront of Jenson. Opening it slowly. He knows what’s in here. He’s the councilman for Christ’s sake. His eyes widen and sweat beads on his forehead.

I pull out a syringe, a vial of purple liquid, a vial of black liquid, and a vial of liquid silver. I set them on the table infront of him for him to see. I then pull out a knife, a torch, a taser, and a Glock. Keeping it light.

I know the Purple vial will give me everything I need. Truth serum doesn’t discriminate. But the black vial, wolfsbane, and the liquid silver will bring him excruciating pain. I want him to hurt. I want him to bleed. Only after we’re done with him will we use that wonderful purple vial.

“Have you made a decision Jenson?” I say with a pep in my voice.

“I’m not going to give you anything willingly.” I hear Jake and Marcus chuckle in the background.

Sam starts loading the Syringes for me and takes the blade and plays with it. Gliding it against her skin. Just enough pressure to leave a trail of red wherever it touches but not enough to break the skin. Without warning the slams the blade into his hand. Jensons screams fill the room.

“We were hoping you would pick difficult.” She says with an edge to her voice. The way she can sqitch off the warmth, and loving side and fully operate in fierce, and powerful Luna queen sends a jolt to my d**k and I feel it hardening in my pants.

“My love, we will have fun later. Right now I am having fun with him.” she says like a seductive vixen. I smile and nod.

“Josh, will you move our guest to the hanging restraints?” I ask. I don’t use any command. I don’t need to.

Without replying he jerks him up with the blade still embedded into his hand. Securing him with his arms up in the restraints, his feet barely touching the floor. Marcus leaves the room and comes back in with a whip in hand. This whip is laced with wolfsbane. Jenson jerks and grunts trying to get away. Doesn’t he realize there’s nowhere to run? Marcus brings the leather whip down hard onto his stomach. He screams loudly.

“Still nothing, I guess.” I say and Sam takes the blade again in her hands. She brings it to her face and looks at the b***d on the shining steel. She licks it off and I have to fight with Atlas to maintain control. I give her a low growl and she smirks at me.

‘I can smell your arousal, my king.’ she links me. Marcus and Josh have both looked away. Knowing better than to test my limits. Not that they ever would. She stalks over to Jenson.

“Let’s play a game. I love games. Don’t you all?” we all respond with a yes. “How about 20 questions. I ask first. How long have you been working against your own kind with the Bear King? And don’t even try to deny it.” She takes the knife and makes a small cut on his arm down to his elbow. He tries his best to hold in any pain.

“You have nothing. It’s your word against mine.” he says. While yes we saw him there with the bears, we have no hard evidence other than what people saw.

“Yes, yes, you’re right we don’t have physical proof that you were there. But what we do have is a bit more concrete.” His eyebrows furrow.

“What could you possible have on me?”

I link Marcus. ‘get me the video of Marcy’s confession.’ he leaves the room.

“Where is he going?” Jenson asks.

“Oh hell be back, don’t you worry about that.” Josh takes over the whipping while Marcus is preparing what I asked for. Whip after whip, his screams cause his voice to grow hoarse. I walk to the table and grab the silver vial and load it into the syringe. His eyes widen and he starts screaming.

“No! You cant do this! You don’t even keep silver weapons in the territory!”

While that used to be true, I decided to change things up after my mate got here and was attacked. And her history with silver tolerance training proved to be useful. Our warriors starting going through it and have built up a tolerance to its effects. It still hurts like a b***h but it’s not as bad for us now.

Without hesitation, I slam the needle into his shoulder and push the liquid into his body. The sounds of agony leaving his lips bring a smile to my face.

“You know, if you hadn’t betrayed your people, none of this would have happened. Now is my turn for a question. How many other council members are dirty?” he pales.

“That’s right, I know. I know the council has been funneling money, soldiers, information, and full support to the bear kingdom. What I want to know is everyone with the council going to die by my hands or will some be able to be saved?” he shakes his head. Willing himself to be strong and now answer. The silver flowing freely though his body is weaking him while causing pain at the same time. Sam grabs the wolfsbane and jabs it into his neck. His wolf has gone dormant. I cannot even reach him.

“Your wolf has left you, Jenson. What more are you fighting for?” he hangs his head. His body struggling to stay standing.

Marcus comes back into the room with the tablet. I hit play on the video and Marcy’s voice fills the empty space in the room. Jenson picks his head up at the sound of his daughter. But when she hears how she ratted them out he starts fuming. If this was a cartoon, he would have steam coming out of his ears.

“Stupid girl. Stupid, foolish girl!”

I nod to sam, and she brings over the last vial.

“Do you know what this is, Jenson?” he shakes his head. Most don’t. It is only something we’ve developed recently and I haven’t informed the council of its effects.

“This here is our version of a truth Serum. I think it will prove effective today. But I have a special guest I want in the room before I give you a dose.” I say as a knock sounds on the door.

“Come in!” I say and Duke and Theo come in hand in hand. This is the breaking point for him.

“NO!” he screams.

“I knew your father should have killed you when he had the chance!

“I knew he should have eliminated you. You’re a traitor!” he screams, and Duke has had enough of him bad mouthing his mate. His eye darken and he surges forward and grips Jenson throat tightly.

“If anyone is a traitor, it’s you. You worthless, pompus a*****e!” Growling threatening and baring his teeth with his canines extending. I place my hand on his shoulder and he jerks back. Theo grabs the back of his neck and rubs it.

“Calm down, mate. He can’t hurt me. No one can.” With that duke calms down. Jenson scoffs and rolls his eyes. I take the needle from my mate and bring it down onto his neck. I step back and let the liquid work its magic.

“Now, let’s get this started shall we?” I say and he looks like he’s in a daze.

“Yes, my king.” he answers in a monotoned voice.

“How long” Is all I ask.

“6 years.” he says.

“Why?” Sam asks.

“He promised immunity and a marriage for Marcy and immunity for myself.” I swear this guy must be stupid.

“You do realize he was going to betray you. He is planning on overthrowing the council as well and then taking the war to the humans. He wants complete and total control. It’s genocide.” He doesn’t answer. Doesn’t show emotion. He looks like a broken man.

“What have you given him so far?” I ask, knowing what exactly what.

“Everything.” is all he says.

We finish the interrogation, and we step out and let the warriors clean him up and get him back in the cell.

“He knew the consequences of his actions. He was going to have his daughter kill me. He was going to kill my family and so many innocent people.” Sam takes my hand.

“I know. He will pay for his crimes.”

We go back in the cell after he’s been cleaned up. Josh and Marcus stand behind me. Samantha steps to my side.

“Your punishment has been decided.” I say. I look to my mate.

“You are being sentenced to death for treason against the Royal family, the Royal pack, and the entire Werewolf kingdom. Your sentence will be carried out tomorrow at Dawn infront of the Pack and all of the allies we have here. I hope when you meet selene you beg for forgiveness.” I say and he hangs his head. Defeated and full of shame. He has no fight left.

“I’m sorry.” That is all he says.

“It’s a little too late for sorry.” Samantha says and we leave.

“Good work all of you. Well, meet you at the training grounds.” I say and dismiss them. I need to debrief my father before anything else. This has been going on 6 years. I can’t wait for this to be over.
