My Tortured Mate Chapter 5

Sterling

‘King Sterling, we need you at the school. Please, hurry, Prince Lukas is out of control.”

He groaned and stood up. He gave the other kings an apologetic smile.

“I have to go. Please, feel free to use any amenities that my kingdom offers in my absence.”

He hurried out of his office and leaped into the sky, Magdon’s wings came out and quickly took him towards the school. He hated that he didn’t know how to help his son. The possibility of the infant being his mate was quickly becoming a fact with his behavior. He had spiraled out of control and was quickly heading towards expulsion.

“I have an idea,” Magdon told him

Saharris

Javier.

is it?

‘Javier?”

‘Yeah. Let’s get Lukas home and then we will have Javier come.”

‘Fine

They landed in front of the school and stormed up the stairs into the building. He followed his son’s screams to the cafeteria where Lukas was standing on a table throwing chairs and other objects at the students and staff cowering behind another table that had been overturned.

“LUKAS!” he thundered. “STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING!”

He froze for a second before launching a chair at Sterling who ducked and let out a furious roar.

“GET

DOWN AND COME HERE!” he yelled, letting his aura out to force him to comply.

Lukas growled at him and threw another chair at the staff. Sterling pushed his aura out more and Lukas wobbled but kept throwing things, screaming.

“I WANT HER! SHE’S NOT DEAD! FIND HER!”

Sterling sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. “Son, she’s gone. We saw her body.”

“SHE’S NOT HE’S LYING!”

“Lukas, come down from there. Let’s talk-

He shifted and launched his small dragon towards his father. He extended his claws towards Sterling’s fare. Sterling ducked, spun around to grab Gideon around the neck and breathed out fire to enhance his aura.

“SLEEP!”

Gideon dropped, shifting back into his human form. Sterling put his son over his shoulder and walked out of the cafeteria. He stopped by

by the principal’s office to assure her that when his son came back he wouldn’t be a problem anymore. He shifted Lakas over his shoulder and started the two–mile walk home. He pulled his phone out to call Javier.

“Javier, will you please make your way to the castle? Magdon would like a word with you.”

of course. I will be right there, Sire.”

He sighed as he shifted his son again. “Thanks.*

He pocketed his phone again and glanced at his son. “Hoy, what are we going to do with you? You can’t keep doing this.”

Odanya pared on the front porch waiting for them. As soon as she saw them, the ran down the road to them.

“What the hell happened? Is this about that girl again?”

He nodded. “He still thinks she’s alive.

She walked silently beside him as they kept heading towards the castle. “Sterling, can I ask you a question without you getting upset?”

He raised an eyebrow at her. “When have I ever gotten upset when you ask a question?”

He immediately bit the inside of his cheek. He knew why she felt the need to ask. Ever since Anastasia had made an appearance in their lives, things had been different between them. Odanya couldn’t comment on his kids at all without getting an attitude. He moved to her other side to put his arm around her shoulder and pull her closer to him. He kissed her cheek.

“You can ask me, my

love.”

She looked up at him hesitantly. “Are you really sure that she’s gone? He seems so sure. I know that you two saw her body but could Luis be lying to you?”

He squeezed her shoulder. “I suppose he could have,” he said slowly.

She leaned against his side. “Maybe you should go back and see.”

“Yeah. Maybe I should.”

They walked up to Lukas‘ room and Sterling gently laid him on the bed, giving Javier orders to keep an eye on him. Javier opened a portal for Sterling and he guided Odanya through. They went straight up the stairs and into the castle. He inhaled and went to the dining hall. Everyone inside. immediately knelt as he entered. He linked his fingers with Odanya’s as he went up to Luis and Martha,

“Get out!,” he ordered everybody else.

Everyone fled the dining hall and Luis nervously looked around.

**Your Majesty?”

“Where’s the girl?,” Sterling asked pleasantly as he leaned against the table.

“She’s deceased.”

Sterling picked up his bowl and took a deep sniff. Magdon growled. Sterling glared at the lower king.

“What is this?”

“Stew, Sire.”

“Is this humanesh?”

Luis nodded. “We aren’t the only clan that eats our dead.”

“Who is it?”

He paled and looked away. “W–what, Sire?”

“You heard me. Who’s in this stew?”

He glanced at Martha. Sterling let his aura out all the way, making Luis‘ body tremble and sweat started to shine on his skin. Sterling easily pulled him over the table and held him up three feet off the ground.

–“Where is the girl?”

He shook and trembled as a drop of blood rolled down his face. “Site, s–she’s gone. I swear.”

Sterling let his hand shift and raised a sharp talon to Luis‘ neck. “Odanya, sweetheart, if you would be so kind as to assist me. Rip Martha’s throat out.”

Odanya went around the table and Luis started thrashing. “She’s gone, Sire. I swear. I’m not lying.”

Odanya reached for Martha and blood started bubbling out of Luis‘ mouth. “Okay, okay. I lied. She did die but she wasn’t found in her crib. She fell out of the window because we were mating. Please, sire, please don’t hurt her.”

Sterling glared at him before looking at Odanya. “Who’s in the stew?”

Luis sighed. “The infant,”

Sterling threw him against the wall in an

anger. “You are eating her?”

Magdon roared and lunged at him, slamming his head against the wall again. He leaned down until his face was less than an inch from Luis‘,

“You will never dispose of a body until I give you clearance. Alastair will be here watching you. One more fuck up and I will remove you.” He let him drop to the floor again and held out his hand to Odanya. “Come, my queen, let’s go home. Lukas needs us.”

She took his hand and led her out of the castle. They stepped back through the portal and Javier closed it behind them.

“What are we doing, Sterling?,” she asked quietly.

He smiled softly at her as he patted her shoulder, “Javier, can you take his memories of the girl?”

“Sire? I could but he would be back in the same place when the spell wears off.”

“Not temporarily take them.” He took a deep breath. “I mean remove them permanently.”

“Your Majesty,

that could change his entire life. If she was truly his mate-

“I need you to break the bond, too.”

Odanya grabbed his arm. “Sterling, you can’t”

“It’s the only way to save him, Anya.” He turned to Javier. “Can you do it?”

“I can but I must insist you reconsider

Sterling ran his hands through his hair before moving to look down at his son still asleep. He touched his cheek and looked up at lavier.

“Do it.”
