He snorted and ignored me. “Whatever. I think you’re just a group of beggars who snuck in from outside the wall. You look terrible! Even the doorman looks more dignified than all of you!”
“You!” Flora was so angry that she took off her shoe and threw it at the guard’s mouth. “Shut your filthy mouth!”
The guard was stunned and covered his mouth in disbelief.
In pure Harry fashion, he refused to be outdone and kicked the guard with his own dirty foot as well.
The guard almost vomited in disgust. “Guards! Arrest them all!”
We were hoping to get out of this situation peacefully, but now we had created a scene.
Soon, we found ourselves about to wrestle with the guards.
But because we were all handcuffed and outnumbered, it wasn’t long before we were subdued.
Touching the small wound on his forehead, the head guard snarled in anger, “Kill them. Even if you were really part of the Royal Army, you still went against the military rules for sneaking out in the middle of the night. On behalf of Prince Rufus, I am giving you your punishment.”
“No, fuck you! Let go of me!” Harry continued to struggle against their grip, trying to get up from the ground.
Flora was completely pinned down by the guards and groaned in pain.
Warren managed to shake off the guards around him and rushed to Flora, kicking away the guards on top of her. But soon enough, other guards had subdued Warren as well.
On the other hand, I was forced to kneel. I tried to break away, but it was useless too. I was left with no choice but to use my trump card.
Raising my head, I looked the head guard straight in the eye. “I am the mate of Prince Rufus. Whoever dared to hurt us today will pay their price.”
Sylvia’s POV
The guard in the lead clicked his tongue with disdain. Obviously, he didn’t believe a word I said. “One of you claims to be a soldier of Prince Rufus, and another to be his mate. How ridiculous!”
The arrogant guard sneered at us, even going so far as to call me a bitch.
I was getting impatient. If I had known they were going to treat us like this, I would’ve fought them off. Now we were stuck in a dilemma.
Just then, a soldier beside the leader tugged his boss’s sleeve and whispered, “Prince Rufus did announce his mate bond in a high-profile manner some time ago. I heard that his mate was indeed a member of the army. It was the talk of the town and was all over the Internet.”
The leading guard hesitated. “Really? I doubt it. How could the heartless Prince Rufus have a mate?”
The soldier’s expression was a little anxious. Gesturing at me, he replied. “It’s true that he has a mate, but I’m not sure if it’s that she-wolf.”
The leading guard looked me up and down carefully.
Calmly, I looked back at him without flinching.
Finally, he waved at the soldier reluctantly. “Forget it. Take them to the prison first and I’ll report it to Alpha Geoffrey.”
So the five of us were locked up. The one good thing to come out of this was that the soldiers who locked us up took our handcuffs off. At least our hands were free.
After all the soldiers left, Harry sat on the ground dejectedly. “I can’t believe that I’d be sent to prison one day. I’m the son of an Alpha for Moon Goddess’ sake!”
“Me neither,” Warren echoed expressionlessly.
Flora rested her head on my shoulder. She was so tired that her words were slurred. “I’m not afraid. I’m just worried about what they said about Prince Rufus-that he’s having a good time in bed right now.”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
We all recalled seeing the soldiers send Ashley to Rufus’ room.
“Would Prince Rufus really go for her? I’d hate to think so, but I did see him drink a lot at the banquet. He could’ve gotten drunk and looked for sex after.” As he spoke, Harry looked at me worriedly.
“Never. I trust Rufus.” I shook my head firmly.
Besides, the night of the full moon was approaching. Rufus had a bad temper these days. He gave off an aura that prevented strangers from approaching. If a stranger dared to get close, he’d probably tear them apart.
Today at the banquet, I could see that he was trying his best to restrain his anger when facing Geoffrey.
“But what if Geoffrey tried playing some tricks? He could’ve asked that vampire slave to drug Prince Rufus with an aphrodisiac. Prince Rufus would have no choice but to surrender…” Harry posited. I had to admit that what he said was possible.
Realizing this, my heart sank.
“We need to get out of here. Maybe we can catch them in the act,” Harry said happily, as though Rufus had really betrayed me.
I didn’t say anything. The image of Rufus sleeping on the same bed with another she-wolf reared its ugly head in my mind.
God damn it!
But before we could come up with a solution, we suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps. The leading guard burst inside with other soldiers. This time, he was not as arrogant as before. He looked at us with a complicated expression.
“Come out. The Alpha wants to see you.”
Then he ordered his man to unlock the door.
Sylvia’s POV
When the soldier unlocked the door, he was about to handcuff us again.
“No need.” The leading guard stopped him reluctantly. Then he looked at us and spoke in a much more polite tone. “I misunderstood you earlier, so I had no choice but to handcuff you. Now, it’s not necessary.”
I could tell that he was scared. Geoffrey must’ve given him a piece of his mind.
Harry rolled his eyes at the leading guard indignantly. “I told you not to do anything stupid. Now, look at what you’ve done.”
The leading guard forced a smile, but his eyes showed his true emotions. Gritting his teeth, he dared not to say anything rash.
When Flora walked past him, she sneered with disdain. “Humph. Coward.”
