Chapter 142 A Guest
Mateja’s p.o.v.
42 Pearts
Amir pushed me behind him the moment we heard someone scream and I have been watching Morgan ini awe, that girl can fight.
Okay, I know that Amra is helping her, but still, she is a damn good fighter. She broke the Idiot’s nose and I hear Echo chuckle in my head, like me, she is enjoying the show.
We are still trying to make sense of what just happened when the next Idiot shows up and this time all the guests are in for a surprise.
I feel it the moment someone steps behind me and I know it isn’t one of my new friends, so I turn around as fast as possible. Surprising the shit out whoever the Idiot is and his head lowers as he grabs my arms tightly.
Oh, no. He is not going to forcefully mark me in front of everyone, not with my Mate night behind me and I slam my forehead against his nose.
He takes a step back, giving Echo all the room she needs to force a shift, slashing one of her claws down his leg. Blood is oozing from the wound, but Echo won’t let him off so easily and charges at him at full speed.
Like a bull, she lowers her head to slam it into his stomach. He flies back a few feet, slamming into the stage where we will sit for dinner.
“Echo, you can take him out.” King Damon says through the mind–link and he doesn’t have to repeat himself.
“Alpha Paul signed his death warrant trying to forcefully mark Mateja, she has my permission to end his life.” I hear King Damon announce to the guests and every member of the King’s Army.
The Alpha looks up at me and it is clear that he hadn’t expected to hear King Damon say a different name, he probably thought that I was Giselle.
“King Damon, he thought I was Giselle. You still want him dead?” I ask, because it might not be the best thing to do. What if he told anyone else about his plan or why he wanted Giselle as his Mate?
Echo stalks towards Alpha Paul and places her paw on his chest, pressing down until she hears the cracking of his ribs. She lifts her paw slightly, but not enough for him to get away from us and if King Damon doesn’t tell us to stand down, he will be dead in minutes.
Four members of Amir’s team step next to us and Clover places her hand on Echo’s head, “We will take care of him for the moment, once we have what we need, he is all yours, Echo.”
Echo lifts her paw even more, before she pulls it back while her claw runs down his stomach. He screams as she cuts through his flesh, not deep enough to kill him but deep enough for it to hurt like hell.
Amir steps next to us and Echo moves her head against his chest, leaning closer as his hand slides through her fur. She loves, the feeling of his hand running through her fur and we have spent quite a few hours in our room with us in Echo’s form, while we were discussing whatever came up.
“Echo, why don’t you follow me? I think we have a backup dress for Mateja, you have just enough time to change before dinner.” Yara says and Echo follows her out of the room to head up the stairs.

“We will be right out, Amir. It won’t take long.” Yara says as she
opens the door, and after Echo gently pushes Amir, he finally lets go of her fur. Allowing us to walk into the room and on the bed is the exact same dress we had just torn to shreds.
“This isn’t the first time someone shifted during a party, so we always have two dresses if it involves a Ceremony. Not that anyone knows about that little rule though or everyone might know what is about to happen after dinner.” Yara says with a smile on her face,
“Let’s just hope that no one else will try to come after Giselle or I am going to have to find another dress to wear.” I tell Yara after Echo has allowed me to shift back to my Human form.
Amir wraps his arms around me to bury his face in my neck, he and Matrius need to calm down and this is the fastest way for Mates. I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to my body and we just stand there for a few seconds.
“Okay, dinner will be served in five minutes. We are taking the elevator down, or everyone will be waiting for our arrival.” Yara says as she walks to the elevator.
Amir holds me close to his side during the ride down and I smile when I see Clover and Zeke waiting for us as the elevator doors open. Clover steps to my other side and Zeke holds her hand while we walk into the ballroom.
“Just in time for dinner.” Giselle says through the mind–link and I softly laugh as King Damon rises to his feet.
“Alphas, please escort your Pack–members to the dining room. There is a seating arrangement, so give your Pack name to one of the Servants and they will show you to your table.” King Damon says and I can already hear a few soft murmurs.
“Why can’t we choose our own table?” A young female asks. Because you would kill one another to get the table closest to the Royals, I answer her question in my head.
“Why does a Servant have to show us to our table?” A Luna asks her Mate.
Are they really this stupid? Don’t they use Omegas to seat their guests? Don’t they place those they favor near the Alpha table?
“We can find our own table.” The same Luna from earlier says to a Servant, but Echo has had enough.
“Either you follow her to your table or that is the way out.” Echo growls while she points at the front door. “You are a guest, so act like one and follow the rules.
Her Mate seems to remember what we are capable of and gestures to the nearest Servant to lead the way, while he grabs hold of his Mate’s hand.
