PRINCESS HELLEN'S POV
King Kian marches into my messy room just as I am trying on an elegant black dress that has no sleeves after taking a relaxing bath.
They've finally come looking for me! Have the love spells worked, or have they realized that I'm still the one they love?

I smile seductively at him but his stern expression doesn't falter. I think they can use my comfort and help even if they have been disregarding my presence throughout since they found out their of human mate can wear the powerful crown of King of all Alpha kings.
"What's wrong dear? You look . . . furious." I ask sweetly walking to him.
"Where is Ella?!" He snarls, glaring me.
What?!
"I am sorry my love. . . but how would I know where she ran to?" I stammer in shock.
Then the most shocking thing happens. He angrily reaches for my neck. His immense strength forcing me backwards. The back of my head connects with the hard wood of the closet and a dark fog clouds my brain for an entire minute. I let out an audible shriek as pain engulfs my entire back side.

"What on earth!" I manage to gasp in shock and agony, cupping the back of my head.
"You Kidnapped her on the night of the royal dinner. Where did you take
her?" His voice seethes with anger.
How could he possibly know about that?!

Unless one of my servants has betrayed me! I can already guess who it might be.
"I don't know what you are talking about." I desperately struggle to push words through my squeezed throat.
Enraged, he forcefully pulls me closer by the neck and slams me against the closet once more, I stumble and fall.
"You all didn't want her!" I whimper while clasping my head. Of course I can't tell them I killed their mate, not when they still think she is the only key to breaking their curse. He would struggle me to death.
The door bursts open and his brothers suddenly storms into the room. Relief washes over me momentarily, thinking they might intervene, but then I see his their eyes glowing with the same amount of rage. "You're really going easy on her!" Reagan mutters as he marches towards us.
"Better tell me where Ella is because I am not going to ask twice!" He snarls in my face.
Just how much did the snitch tell them?
"Honey, you want to hurt me because of that useless human?! I thought you loved me?" I plead.
What happened to them hating her?
"The next word that comes from your mouth better be where she is or you'll find out just how much I hate you!" He roars grabbing me from the floor and pinning me against the wall.
"I knew you were only using me to break the curse!"
"Yeah, but that's not the answer I asked for!" He grabs me and slams my head against the table. I scream as blood streams from my broken nose. The pain is excruciating as another blow lands on my right eye, and I cry out in agony. What has gotten into them!?
Voices and footsteps echo in the hallway. Guess people heard me screaming.
A number of servants and officials bursts into the room, they appear shocked at the scene in front of them. I have been through humiliating moments before, but none has been this mortifying.
None of them try to help, they just watch with shocked faces.
I attempt to sit, but kian's boot comes hard against my stomach. I curl up in pain.
"This only ends when you tell us where you took Ella!" he roars, brings down another kick which connects with my chest. My screams becomes louder.
"Please stop hurting me! You know how I love you!" I scream. The only place I can take them is where her decaying body is.
"I don't care!" He declares violently taking hold of my hand, bends the middle finger backwards until the bone snaps. I shriek loudly.
"You're going to watch him kill me?!" I scream at King Aleric, the only one who is not yet taking part in beating me.
"As long as you don't tell us where Ella is, I don't care if he snaps your neck as well." he coldly replies.
"Right . . . I did lie and take your mate. But everything I did was for you, to break the curse!" I defend, tears filling up my eyes and streaming down my cheeks together with the make-up I had worn. "I got rid of her so we could be together.
"We never asked for such a favour. Don't pretend that your plans were meant to serve anything else other than your own greed!" Reagan snarls, the veins in his temples becoming prominent.
KING REAGAN'S POV
"You would rather be with that weak loser?!" She spits despite the blood oozing from her nose and bruises on her face. 
"Don't you dare insult our mate!" A cracking sound is heard as Kian breaks her second finger. She screams, few parts of her body shifting into her wolf form and the fingers heal.
Normally, I would have intervened to stop Kian's brutality, but not today. From what the maid told us she had harmed our innocent human mate in ways that are unforgivable.
We did want our mate gone, but not dead. Of course we know somehow she's alive somewhere. The problem is we don't know in what situation. From what the maid said, she was barely left alive after the princess attacked her. She could be hanging on the last thread of life for all we know. And it might be too late when we get to her if the witch keeps withholding information.
"You will take us to the last place you left her." Kian commands. From there we can at least try to follow her scent.
The witch is quite stubborn. No matter how much we beat her, she still shifts and heals.
I march forward, grab her by the hair and drags her towards the bathroom.
I force her head deep into the bathtub that is yet to be drained. She flails her limps, fighting drowning. Her screams are muffled by the water surrounding her face. She desperately tries to shift but can't concentrate enough.
"Remember she can't talk when she is dead!" Aleric warns.
I wait a few more seconds before pulling her head out of the bath tub. She gasp desperately for air.
"Tell me where Ella is or your head is going back in there!"
"She's dead!" she screams as she shift fully back to her human body and curl into a ball, whimpering. "Yes, I killed your mate! Just as she deserved! She was not worth being your mate." she adds wickedly and Kian angrily stomps on her foot, she wails but remains curled up.
Frustrated by her stubbornness, my two brothers shower her with kicks.
Blood oozes from her nose and mouth.
"Ella has been found!" A voice announces, startling everyone in the room.
