(Nora's P.O.V.)
She wasn't gonna accept me. She doesn't want to be my mate. I will show her how much I care! I will punish those who hurt her! She wanted to speak of violence earlier. I'll show her violence! I will show her power! Respect! Loyalty! And i will Protect her family as mine! I think furiously. I make a quick call to Lord Weatherson, Who has been ill, and entrusted his daughter to run the house. I say only 4 words before he agrees to relinquish her. She's in my custody, and her family will not save her. I call Madie and she tells me Eliza's in the library with some friends. I rush down. Eliza looks terrible, not as bad as before. No before there was blood going down her face, now she has stitches in her forehead, and a very red looking black, well half of her face. While we might heal fast, a royal attacks you and you heal like a human, unless you're another royal. She deserves so much worse! I walk towards her, and all her 'friends' back away. They'll side with me any day. If i wanted to i could have them rip her apart, but it'll be more a pleasure doing that myself. Right after we go see shortcake. I can't help but get a dark, blood thirsty grin on my face. Seeing me coming she looks at her friends and tries to make an excuse to leave but, the only exit is blocked by me. I reach over and wrap my hand in her hair. Pulling hard, so that she's leaning, with her head down where my hand would naturally rest at my side. I pull her along with me as i march up the stairs, and down the hall. Using my other hand i knock on Shortcake's door. She opens it, she looks like she's been crying for the last 3 hours. "What do you want?" she says. Not seeming to notice the person by me. Then she does, and her eyes get wide. "I have a gift." i say, pulling Eliza's hair. She lets out a squeak of pain. "Nora, what are you doing!?" She quickly goes to help her but I pull my hand away. "You said that, and i quote 'If you ever lay a finger on him or anyone in my family again I swear, I may not like violence but you will truly learn the definition of that word.'" She smirks. "Well here's the person who really hurt your family, so why don't you show me that violence?" i sound amused, but also scary. I see that my little mate can tell that what i really wants is to rip Eliza's head off. And i want her approval, for doing so. "Let. her. Go." She seeths through gritted teeth. I can't stand this. It's the perfect opportunity. I lean forward, so i'm speaking in ear. "you swore little mate. You go back on your word, and i'll go back on mine. Your month of understanding won't exist. You'll be held up to the council's expectations. And trust me, they're high." I leaned down now, so i was talking against her neck. "My word.." i mused "I'll have nothing to stop me" my fangs brushed her neck, and i could feel electricity go down my back. Her pulse quickened, and i could feel her shiver. I know it's not cold in here. Did i perhaps, exhilarate her? I couldn't help but wonder, staying there for a second more before i pulled back. "So, little mate...what's your choice?" i asked trying to stare her in the eye but she wouldn't look at me. "If I do this, she gets immediate medical treatment. The best you can get." "well that doesn't sound very violent to me!" i said "Perhaps i should just rip her heart out for you!" I said feeling angry that my little mate wouldn't take proper revenge. "No, fine i'll do it." She didn't look very vengeful, more regretful. How could she look regretful?! There's nothing to regret! This bitch tore apart her life, and she'll regret this!? It makes me furious. "Shall i list her numerous crimes against you, and your friends?! Do you need reminding?! Or do you not care?" I roared in gut wrenching anger. I hear a soft growl her throat and she clenches her shaking hands. "I know what she did!" I can see her getting angrier by the second. I feel Eliza start struggling. "Her!" she gasped, pulling at my hand in her hair. "Werewolf! You will die! All of you!" I could feel her anger, her truth to that one word, werewolf. I could kill her, rip her heart out for that. Threatening my mate. "I hate you!" Maria screams and punches Eliza in the gut. "I hate you!" She hits her again and again while sobbing her eyes out. Eliza's injured but not dead, not by a long shot. We go into the bedroom, I let Eliza fall to the floor. Releasing my hand, and look at Shortcake. She looks torn between ripping her heart out, and getting out medicine. "I hate you!" She screams and shoves Eliza into the wall. "Do you know what you've done?!" She grabs her by the hair and pulls her to her knees, Her eyes turn gold and red. "I lost everything, my mother, my father, my siblings, my friends, my family!" She repeatedly hits her again and again, until she can't breath. Eliza's still breathing, which is not what I wanted. I wanted her heart in my hand, but this was up to my little mate. She sits on her knees trying to catch her breath. Her eyes go back to normal and she looks at Eliza's beaten body and covers her mouth in shock. "I'm gonna be sick." She get up and runs to the bathroom, slamming the door shut. I know she can still hear me, so i get down by Eliza. Who's now leaning on the wall. "You are very lucky" i say. "Lucky my little mate won't kill you. Lucky i'm trying to show restraint. Lucky that, if your a good little bean i might have your family take you back." I laugh then. "You are lucky that i didn't punish you. And you are lucky that my little mate is behind that door," I said pointing at the bathroom. "For otherwise, i would have pulled your heart out of chest, and made you eat it." I say darkly. Then the bathroom door opens. "Get out, both of you, get out." I don't turn around. "As you wish." I look down at Eliza. "But this one is a gift. Do with her as you will. For if you leave her with me, her heart will find its way to your pillow." She quickly turns and throws up again. and I turned to look at my little mate in the eyes. "Get out!" I smile, and as i walk away I look over my shoulder and say. "You didn't finish the job, Shortcake." I give her a grin. "Do so by dawn, or the deal is off." and I close her door as I walk out
