looked at the women and wanted to say something, but he had no idea what. Just as the foot was lifted off his back, he decided that he had better come up with something or the dragon would have him for his supper. He would hate to have to spend the rest of his days in the belly of a large, bad tempered dragon.
When he was standing again, Rythen started toward her , only to come up short when Savannah put up her hand. He more than likely could have broken her barrier, but the truth of the matter was he was sort of afraid that he couldn’t. Melody entered the room just as he was contemplating trying.
“You’re making enough racket to wake the dead . You’ve brought a human to my realm to do who knows what, and Draco tells me that you’re telling stories about Logan and the rest of my family. What do you plan next, Rythen? Do you plan to storm the castle and take it over? I assure you that you will not win in this.”
There were several thing s he could have said to her, one of which was that her family was really his as well as he had created the sire to them all. Secondly, he had not told a lie. He, like the queen, was incapable of lying. And lastly…he looked at the girl again.
“She was told to seduce me.” Melody looked at the woman. “And I’ve no idea what her name is. Either tell me so I can refer to her as something more than the woman, or that will be her name.”
“You’re an idiot.” The woman started toward him again, but he stood his ground. There was no way he was backing down from her so that others could see. “My name is none of your business, you cynical over blown piece of fucking shit.”
Rythen might have been impressed had he any idea what she was talking about. He got the namecalling, just not why she felt the need to say them to him. Just as he opened his mouth to tell her she was wrong, Shamus was in front of him.
“You’ll do well to listen with your ears and not your heart right now , Rythen. While I’m not as old as you, I do know that a woman’s scorn can and will harm worse than a sword.” Rythen looked at the three women and thought maybe in this the new king was smarter. With a short nod, Shamus stepped back and nodded to the woman.
“ Her name? May I please have her name?” He looked at Shamus and then Melody. “Do any of you know who she is?”
“Maybe they’re waiting for you to ask me what it is, you nimrod. And again, I’ll tell you that it’s none of your business. What right did you have to do those things to me? Kissing me like I was…like you owned me.” Rythen opened his mouth to remind her that she had enjoyed it as much as he, but he glanced at Shamus to see him shake his head. “And another thing, I have someone who loves me. He doesn’t treat me right, but he says that he loves me.”
“Who? Who is this man who dares to claim what is mine?” As soon as the words left his mouth, he knew that he’d made a major mistake. And if the look on either Shamus’s or Melody’s face was any indication, he was not leaving there without explaining himself.
“She’s your mate?” Rythen didn’t bother answering Savannah, but looked at Shamus. Surely, as another man, he’d help him.
“You have brought your mate here, in my castle , without telling her what she is to you? You’ve tried to claim another man’s mate?” Melody started pacing and turned to look at him as she continued. “You’ll make this right or so help me there will never be another ring for you to hide in so long as there is breath in my body.”
“You would deny me space in my own creation?” Rythen moved toward her and was only a step closer when a blade was at his throat. The guard had come from nowhere and the Warrior Tess was right in the front of them. He was getting mightily sick of this woman and her troupe.
“You move —I mean so much as an eye lash—and I will cut your, what you think of as an impressive, dick off and give it to the faeries. I’m sure that
