As if to amplify Grey’s comment, the serpent opens its mouth and hisses, and my heart cleaves in two when I spy those fangs. Crap. I’m really in over my head.

I do have the sword, but I have no experience.

“Don’t worry, Belle. I will guide you,”the sword says, and I guess I have no choice but to trust her. She seems to think I am worthy, so I will throw my life in her hands.

The serpent is getting closer. Grey tries to shield me with his undamaged wing, but I push him aside and ready my stance.

I will strike the moment that beast gets within two feet. And then I will go all medieval on his ass.

Finally, the snake arrives, coiling its body as it readies its head to strike, and that’s when I jump and lop off its head. The beast’s head falls on the ground beside me, almost triple my size, and I gaze into its giant yellow eye.

It blinks in confusion for a few moments, but then when its brain finally runs out of oxygen, it shuts its eyes and finally dies.

Holy hell. I actually killed that thing on the first strike? The sword wasn’t lying when she told me to trust her, and now I gaze down at the blade in wonder.

“That was a pretty close call,” I tell her.

She laughs in response.“Yes, but I knew you could do it. Always have faith in yourself, Belle. You’ll be amazed at what you’re capable of when you put your mind to it.”

Still, I just never thought that I would cut the head off a giant snake. I guess I should be smug, but I’m worried that the sword will stop thinking I’m worthy. She doesn’t seem to hold any qualms though, and now I glance up at Grey and smile.

He looks at me as if I’m a goddess, and I step back. “What’s with that look?”

Grey heaves a sigh, wincing as he tries to adjust his wing. “Nothing. I just can’t believe how lucky I am. How lucky we all are. You’re amazing, Belle. I would fuck you right now, but my wing’s hurting like a bitch.”

I step toward him, assessing his wing. Sweat drips down his face, and we have to get that thing looked at. While I’d love nothing more than to fuck him next to the head of the serpent that I just killed, we have to get him back.

The ache in my core has dulled now, but I still have the urge to be filled. The sword has helped to relieve the sensation, but I can’t help but want to fuck.

We’re alone in this gorge. No one would hear me scream.

But we need to get him back.

I’ll get my sex later.

Grey takes my face in his hands and kisses me so passionately, I melt into a puddle at his feet. The ache returns and now my legs throb. Sweat drips down my face, and I’m hot all of a sudden.

My monster reaches his hand down, pressing his finger to my folds, and I shudder beneath his touch. Then he whispers into my ear. “I promise, sunshine. When all this shit is over... we’ll fill you with our cocks.”

And I’m looking forward to it. This land has made me even hornier than usual, but I can’t let it distract me.

The king is waiting after all, and I have a new sword to show off. And don’t forget a giant serpent’s head too.

Chapter sixteen

Nero

Well,hereweareonce again. Belle has proven herself to our uncle, and the big ugly troll is losing his patience.

She has managed to pass two of his challenges now, and each time she has exceeded his expectations. When Grey came in hauling that giant serpent’s head into the throne room, getting its blood all over the clean, polished floor, she was practically glowing.

Also, she has a new sword too, and I see it has granted her its power.

Our mate really is a sight to behold, and I have never met a woman like her. She truly will lead us into victory.

No, notmymate, but my brothers’ mate. Belle is not mine. I rejected her all because I didn’t want to get my heart broken again. But I can’t help but fall for her when I see her standing before my uncle’s throne, wielding that bright, shiny sword.

It appeared Belle was the one the sword had been waiting for all this time. It deemed her worthy, and I couldn’t be more proud of her. While I may not want to claim her as my mate, I’m still going to cheer for her success.
