shamed piece of shit,” the other one said, smiling cruelly. “My bet’s on the King showing no mercy. You’d better say goodbye forever just in case.”

They lunged at Orion, dragging him to his feet and his hand was ripped from mine. He tried to fight, throwing furious punches, but without magic, they quickly tied his hands with a vine and hauled him to the door. One of them slammed their knuckles into his gut, making him snarl and my breathing stuttered.

“Wait!” I cried as panic tore at my heart with sharp claws. “Take me too! Take me with him!”

They started laughing, ignoring me as Orion turned his head to meet my gaze with an agonised expression as they dragged him away.

I started screaming his name with a raw desperation, because I had a horrible, heart-breaking feeling it was the last time I was ever going to see him.

M ildred practically dragged me through the palace until we made it to a suite in the guest wing that I guessed Father had given to her.

She unlocked the door and I frowned as she tugged me through magical wards and a silencing bubble until we stepped into an enormous white and blue suite laid out with a massive bed in the centre of it which was covered in red rose petals.

"I've got a surprise for you," she breathed in what I was guessing was maybe meant to be a seductive voice, but it came out more like a snake hissing as spittle flew between the gaps in her teeth and I cringed.

"Maybe we should just get this over with," I grunted, not having any desire to do that at all, but I still had no fucking way to get out of this.

Unless...maybe I could just bend her over and force her ugly face down into the pillows so she couldn't see what I was doing. Then I could create a magical illusion of a cock to fuck her with and she'd never even know we hadn't really done it.

That wouldn't help me with the Heirs issue, but I didn't want her having my fucking kid anyway. And maybe if I could just buy a bit of time, we could get Roxy away from my father somehow.

It wasn't much of a plan but it sure beat sticking my dick in her.

Mildred grabbed my hand and tried to drag me across the room, but I growled at her and used my strength to whirl her around and toss her down on the bed instead.

She bounced with the force I used and her eyes widened as I stalked after her, my jaw gritted with determination.

"Wait - I haven't shown you the surprise!" she gasped, her voice sounding even more masculine than usual, but I needed to get this done, not engage in conversation with her or indulge her with fucking surprises.

"Stay quiet," I growled, grabbing her waist and flipping her face down before lifting her hips up to point her flat ass at me.

I shuddered as I used water magic to create ice so that her arms were frozen to the headboard and the angle I stretched them at forced her face into the pillows like I'd planned.

I flipped up the massive skirt she was wearing as I tried not to give too much thought to what I was about to find beneath all these layers of fabric.

At least I'm not really fucking her. I repeated those words over and over in my head as I hunted through the fabric for her panties. My hand suddenly ran over a bulge between her legs and I reared away in alarm.

“Woah, hold the fuck on - you’re a guy?” I balked, but it actually did make a lot of sense now I thought about it. “Is this your fucking surprise?” Holy shit, maybe this is my way out. I can’t impregnant a man.

Her big ass foot suddenly slammed into my chest and knocked me flying back against the table beyond the foot of the bed.

"What the fuck?" I roared at her, my temper fraying as she melted the ice restraints off of her arms and rolled over.

But instead of finding Mildred there, I found fucking Gabriel, grinning at me like some crazy asshole as he removed the illusion spells he'd put in place to make himself look like Mildred.

"Hey, husband," he teased, gripping the front of the wedding dress and ripping it right down the front so that he could climb out of it. "Were you really
