I didn’t trust her.
Elvey hit Rai back, and then in the next instant, they tangled together on the floor. Blaze and Iokul jumped in and the four of them rolled off the dais, wrestling with each other on the floor, throwing kicks and punches at each other.
Tianna leaned forward, giggling as she watched the fight.
I rushed toward them.
“Will you all stop?” I screamed.
None of them listened to me.
Blaze, Rai, and Iokul pinned Elvey down. For a second, I thought I saw a bond connect the four of them. But it couldn’t be. I must have imagined it, because the next second, the dragon princes’ fists rammed into Elvey from all directions, blow after blow landing on his face and his ribs.
They could use their magic to hurt each other worse, but for some reason, they seemed to prefer to brawl like barbarians.
I threw myself at Rai, trying to get him off Elvey, and he drove his elbow back and slammed into my face. I let out a painful yelp at the unexpected force, which threw me a few yards across the floor.
Suddenly, their fighting ceased. All four of them turned to me, silent shock on their faces. Rai, Blaze, and Iokul seemed to want to rush to me, but they just rose and stood there, watching me instead of coming toward me.
I swallowed back my tears as I felt a part of me die inside. The burning love they had once showed me had dissipated in a mere two days. All they had left for me was coldness and cruelty.
My court snarled in rage. They clutched their swords, ready to fight, ready to cut down my dragon princes.
I raised a hand at them while I was still on the floor. “No! Do not fight them,” I ordered. “Only the four of them can draw blood from each other.”
I rose to my feet just as Elvey delivered a blow to Rai’s jaw. “Touch my mate again, I’ll gut you, you fucker!”
Blood dripped from Rai’s nose, and that sight hurt me. Elvey had broken the lightning dragon’s nose. I clenched my fists to my sides to prevent myself from running to Rai to comfort him. Maybe he hadn’t meant to hurt me. Maybe it’d been an accident.
Rai, for once, didn’t punch back but snarled at Elvey.
“Elvey,” I called.
He reached me in no time, quickly inspected me, and pulled me into his arms. “I’m sorry, my queen.” It hurt him more than anything to see me in pain.
My shaking receded, and I touched the bruises under his eyes.
The dragon princes turned their faces away from us.
Rosalinda spat at them. “Motherfuckers! Traitors!”
“You’re dead, dragon assholes.” Zembyr pointed the tip of his sword at them. “Once the Challenge is over, you’re all dead. No one who harms Her Majesty deserves to breathe!”
It seemed the Fae on my side wanted to throw something at my former mates.
“Don’t,” I said, not looking at the three of them.
“Yeah? Come and get us then,” Blaze barked back.
“Ignore them,” I said coldly. “They aren’t worth it.” I turned around in Elvey’s arms and faced my people. “The court is adjourned for today.”
I couldn’t stand being in the same space with my former mates anymore.
“Princes,” Tianna purred as the three of them jogged toward her throne to guard her again. “I thought the three of you would bleed the demigod like a pig.”
“The bastard cheated,” Iokul said. “He blocked us with his foul magic.”
I knew Iokul was lying. If Elvey had used magic, I would have sensed it. Why was he lying? Maybe he wanted to look good in front of the evil queen he was so smitten with?
