Chapter 10

Dart narrowed her eyes on the hyena shifter. The one Constance had beaten earlier. What the hell was going on? Was this part of the tournament?

She decided it didn’t matter as she rammed people out of her way. The hyena looked serious as she raised the gun to aim it at the thrones.

Dart and Constance lunged for the hyena at the same time, knocking into her and smashing her into the floor.

Aramis, Athos, and Porthos converged on them, ripping the gun from the hyena’s clenched fingers.

The screams and cries of the guests finally filtered through the roaring in Dart’s ears, the mixed scents of terror making her stomach turn.

She and Constance yanked the hyena to her feet, both of them keeping a tight hold on her arms.

The hyena yipped and fought their grips, but when the three Musketeers spread out in a circle in front of her, their eyes glowing with the strength of their animals, she slumped and froze, casting her gaze to the ground in submission.

Even Constance struggled with the weight of their combined dominance, her eyes darting away from theirs, searching for something safer to focus on.

But Dart refused to look away from them, her wolf preening at their dominance, showing off her own.

Their nostrils flared and lips curled as they tasted her response to them.

More musketeers emerged from the stunned crowd, taking the hyena from Dart and Constance.

“They’ve got it from here,” Porthos assured her when Dart eyed the Musketeers with suspicion.

She released the hyena into their custody, watching as they dragged her off.

The adrenaline flew out of her, leaving her dizzy and almost limp.

“Let’s get you two back to your rooms. I think it’s safe to say this party is over.” Porthos puffed out a heavy breath.

Constance snorted. “Nothing like attempted assassination of our royals to break up a good time.”

Dart found the energy to grin.

Before they could make their escape, a coyote shifter in a Musketeer’s uniform stopped them with a dip of his head. “The Queen would like to meet the two of you tomorrow morning before the final trials. Since you seem to know these three, they can escort you.”

Athos nodded. “We’ll bring them.”

Dart could only stare in open-mouthed shock. She was going to meet the Queen.

Aramis, Porthos, and Athos herded Dart and Constance away from the remains of the disaster of a ball.

What an insane night.

Outside, Dart sucked in the fresh air, clearing away the scents of murder and violence and fear. The Musketeers led them down a side path through the royal gardens away from the herd of shaken partygoers fleeing the scene.

“Is this common around here?” Constance gestured at the palace behind them.

Aramis yanked at his bowtie with a disgruntled pout. “Yes. It’s why there’s always a disturbance at the ball during Musketeer tournaments. Except it got all screwed up tonight, but the two of you have definitely impressed everyone.”

“I just followed Dart’s lead. How the hell did you see it so fast?” Constance asked.

Dart shrugged. “I’m sort of always on guard, expecting a challenge or attack.
