Portia stiffened. "You heard her. And don't think for a single second that this won't affect your standings with palace orders."
Izzy felt like cheering; she knew that older woman liked her mate.
As the final tailor was walking past her, she heard him mutter. "Traitorous bastard."
Izzy didn't waste a second. She jumped up
and wrapped her arms around his neck. She clung to him with her left and began punching him anywhere she could with her right, mainly his ear."
"Kick his ass, Izzy!" Meryn yelled.
"Get her off me!" the tailor screamed.
Within moments guards flooded the room, but they stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
"Izzy!" she heard her mate call out her name.
"I'm not stopping until I see blood!" she screeched.
She really hoped she saw blood soon; her knuckles were killing her.
"Izzy! Jump clear!" she heard Meryn order.
She let go and jumped back. She saw Meryn dart forward and tap the guy with her little stick, he went down like a sack of potatoes.
"Yes!" Izzy said. She ran over and high-fived Meryn.
"Meryn!" Aiden roared as he ran into the room.
"I'm okay."
"I know you are. Why did you tase this man?" he demanded, looking her over.
"I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?"
Oron rushed to Izzy's side. "Did he attack you?"
She shook her head. "No, I kinda attacked him."
Meryn shrugged her shoulders. "I buzzed him because Izzy was hitting him."
"Do you know why she was hitting him?"
"No."
"Then, why?"
"Because I'm a ride or die bitch."
"You're not dying! And you're not a bitch." Aiden looked down at the unconscious man his canines dropping before his murderous gaze lifted to the other tailors. As one, they stepped away from the enraged commander. With a growl, he looked down at the incapacitated man. "Did he call you a bitch?"
Pierce stepped in. "Sir, what she means is that since Izzy is her friend, she, of course, would step in to help, no matter what."
Oron turned to her. "Okay, then why did you attack him?"
The man at their feet groaned and struggled to get up. Izzy kicked him. Oron physically lifted her up and carried her over to stand next to Meryn.
