Chapter 9

Brayden kept close to me, meeting me for every meal and insisting that I accompany him to the meetings he held with the Elders. I knew he was keeping me from seeing the four males, my mates, but I did not call him on it. The Gauntlet wasn’t too far away, and I couldn’t risk Brayden finding out that his magic wasn’t working one hundred percent on me.

Dad stayed holed up in his chambers, refusing to see me. I tried not to let it bother me, but I was getting really worried about him. Why wouldn’t he want to see me? I was his daughter, his heir. He went so far as to order me to stay out of the wing of the castle his chambers were in.

I suspected Brayden had a hand in Dad’s actions, but I did not have any proof.

Brayden and I walked in the garden and I saw the four males on the far side, their bodies glistening in the sun with sweat from working out. I was sad that I hadn’t been able to see them practicing but knew I couldn’t voice that opinion.

They headed in our direction, putting shirts on, which made me want to pout even more. Brayden draped his arm over my shoulders and pulled me against his side. If I acted different, he would know I wasn’t completely under his control, so I played along, sidling up closer and smiled up at him.

“How can I help you gentlemen?” Brayden asked them.

All four were glaring at him. The wolf’s eyes were glued to his arm around me.

“We were hoping to talk to the princess,” the dragon said.

“Me?” I asked. “What about?”

“We wanted to talk to you in private,” the dragon said.

“She will not be left alone with four outsiders,” Brayden said. “You could kill her.”

“We won’t kill her, and you know that,” the mage said with a scowl.

“I’m her guard, so if you want to talk to her, you have to talk to her with me present,” Brayden told them with a smug smirk.

“What if I met with them in my office?” I asked Brayden. “You could stand guard outside my door to ensure they didn’t try anything.”

“No,” Brayden said and glared down at me. “I will not allow you to be with them, alone.”

I returned his glare and said, “You know I don’t like being ordered around.”

His gaze softened, and he smiled and put a hand on my cheek. “Sorry, sweetheart. I just want to make sure you are safe. If you were injured, or killed, I would be devastated.”

“I don’t think they have any ill will towards me,” I said and looked at the males once before looking back at Brayden. “It’s a normal protocol for the heir to meet with royals of other areas. They’re princes, right? I should have met with them individually when they arrived.”

“No,” Brayden said again.

I pushed away from him and put my hands on my hips. “You can’t change protocol.”

“You can’t put yourself in danger.
