Wolf Princess Sold to the Dragon King novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190: Portals, Dipshit. Big Glowing Doors. What the fuck is this shit.

"One."

Cassian answered with a sob so embarrassing that across an ocean, Renwick Lunaris hunched over, unsure why it felt like his legacy took a direct kick to the balls.

Kael lowered his hand. The fire dimmed.

The prince’s entire body went limp with relief as a wet spot spread beneath him. Kael briefly considered keeping him alive just so Renwick would know that his son pissed himself.

He raised his arm again.

Cassian screamed at a pitch that violated the Geneva Convention of manhood.

Kael lowered it then raised it three times in a row, fast.

Cassian screamed, stopped, screamed, stopped, screamed. Three wolves in the back row covered their ears.

The throne room doors exploded inward.

A soldier stormed inside like a man who just caught his wife sucking off the mailman, covered in dark fae blood and skidded to a stop in the center of the room.

"ALPHA! Dark fae at the eastern perimeter! Three portals, ground assault, at least two hundred—"

He stopped mid-sentence, taking in the scene: three snapped necks, a sobbing prince curled in the fetal position, a dragon with fire in his palms, half the pack trying to blend into the walls, and then did a double take at the glowing princess bleeding on the floor, his jaw dropping as he stared.

Kael rolled his eyes. "Really? Of all things, SHE is the most shocking?"

The soldier didn’t even seem to hear Kael, unable to look away from the runes.

Tyler Draven stood, scooping Guinevere off the stone floor with one arm under her knees and one behind her back as gently as he could.

Her blood ran down his arms and was all over his bare chest.

Kael’s vision narrowed then flickered gold at the sight and scent of her fresh blood. Her body being against Tyler’s bare chest was not helping.

He dares touch our mate. Rip his arms off. Burn this Keep to the ground.

Tyler turned away from the murder dragon, addressing the soldier.

"All combat units to the eastern ridge. Full defensive formation. Archers on the tree line. Ground units staggered at fifty-yard intervals." His voice carried across the throne room with an authority that was two parts training and one part adrenaline. "Light the perimeter pyres. If we’re going to fight in the dark, we do it by firelight. Let them think we’ve got that dragon fleet."

Kael dragged a hand down his face.

A Beta’s son in pajama pants, shirtless, covered in a princess’s blood, was now running the military defense of a kingdom whose actual prince was crying. What a goddamn night. Good instincts. Wrong enemy for them. But the balls were there and Kael could work with that.

He let out a long breath, tearing his eyes away from Guinevere. "Yeah, you don’t want to do that."

Every head in the room swiveled to him.

"Fire doesn’t work on dark fae. They absorb it. Feed on it, actually. Your perimeter pyres are an all-you-can-eat buffet." He rolled his neck once. Something cracked. "How many entrances does your Keep have?"

Tyler stared at him. The internal debate behind his eyes was visible. This man knows what the hell dark fae are but this situation was fucked. He answered before he overthought the triple homicide bit.
