Lexi's face lit up with a perverse pleasure as Genevieve flew towards her and she quickly sidestepped with a laugh, leaving her swinging wildly into thin air.
She turned to face Lexi with a vicious snarl as she barreled towards her again , but for a second time Lexi grinned and seemed to move effortlessly out of the way, leaving Genevieve empty handed and with her frustration growing.
"I see it now," Lexi mused as she continued to move out of reach of Genevieve's clumsy attacks, "Is this what my mates are missing in a 'fine' specimen of a she-wolf, hmm? Clumsy, impulsive and pathetic…" she tutted mockingly.
"Stop fucking moving and fight me!" Genevieve screeched "I'll make you eat your fucking words!"
"Sorry, what was that? You want me to fight you?" Lexi smirked as she danced around Genevieve's uncoordinated attempts to land a blow.
"Only a fucking coward runs from a fight instead of facing it head on! Exactly what I should have expected from a demonic whore!" Genevieve hissed as Lexi's eyes flashed dangerously.
Allen and Greyson vaulted over the table a little too late as Lexi's arm whipped out in front of her quickly, her fingers gripping Genevieve's neck tightly and bringing her flailing to a stand still as she clutched desperately at Lexi's hand around her throat.
"I was trying not to injure you, Genevieve." Lexi shrugged, narrowing her eyes at the struggling woman's face, "You see, just like all those before you, you have underestimated what this 'demonic whore' is capable of."
Lexi turned and with an irritated sigh, slammed Genevieve face down onto the dining table at her side, sending the remaining plates and cups on there rattling noisily.
Genevieve whimpered as her face was pressed into the hard surface and Lexi's face appeared only millimeters away from her own.
"People like you never learn. You think that you are superior in every way to those around you and refuse to understand that really, it is you who is inferior. Your Alpha Queen is the rightful heir to this kingdom and that child is Brad's son by blood." Lexi hissed in a murderous tone, "Whether you like it or not is inconsequential because in the grand scheme of things, you are just another unranked member of this pack. But that doesn't mean that you can run around shooting your mouth off as and when you feel like it. There are consequences to your actions you vile, pathetic little worm and I will fucking make sure that you receive the punishment that you deserve."
"Lexi, take it easy…" Allen's worried voice rose above Genevieve's whimpers as he and Greyson edged closer, concerned that they were about to witness their mate immolate the foolish woman that she had pinned to the table.
Lexi chuckled darkly as she glanced across to them.
"Oh I am taking it easy beta-boy. If I wasn't restraining myself then she would already be decorating the walls." Lexi purred wickedly, "I didn't think that would go down too well with the pack members though…it's not really a great way to start the day now, is it? Coffee, Cornflakes and a side of decorative entrails? I think they'd be a little pissed honestly."
Genevieve wriggled under her grip as a sob escaped her throat and Lexi hissed lightly, baring her teeth and pushing her fingers deeper into the back of her neck.
"You should be fucking thankful that I only toyed with you for a little while but make no mistake, this is the first and last time that I will allow you to disrespect me in this way, are we clear?"
"Yes! Yes I'm sorry!" Genevieve whimpered as she attempted to nod her head under LExi's grip.
"And if I so much as hear of you sniffing around my mates again I will make sure that every single one of your gaping, bacteria ridden holes are sealed permanently so that no one, not even you will ever feel pleasure again," Lexi whispered darkly, her lips almost touching Genevieve's ears as she trembled uncontrollably.
"I understand," she whimpered as Lexi's face split into a satisfied grin.
"Good, now..."
"What the fuck is going on here?!" An unfamiliar male voice cut across the dining room as Greyson's answering growl of fury caused Lexi to turn her head with curiosity.
"Oh for fuck sake…" Allen muttered under his breath as he was met with the sight of Greyson's two older brothers, Sebastian and Logan, storming towards them with looks of utter fury on their faces.
"Let go of her at once!" Sebastian demanded as Greyson and Allen quickly moved to position themselves between Lexi and the two furious looking men,
"You don't get to tell anyone what to do here," Greyson snarled, a dark look settling over his face as they turned to him.
"I suggest you move the fuck out of the way little brother and get your female under control before we do it for you." Logan hissed, his eyes flashing dangerously.
"Are you threatening my mate?" Greyson bristled instantly, his stance becoming more aggressive as he readied himself to defend her.
He wasn't worried about taking his older brothers on, they were notoriously lazy when it came to their training and much preferred to spend their days drinking and being entertained by whichever females they could get their hands on.
Yet, this sort of confrontation he would rather have avoided because if they returned home damaged in any way, then not only would it draw his fathers attention on his movements once more, but it would also put both Brad and Ann in uncomfortable positions. He really didn't want to be the cause of a large-scale diplomatic incident, yet a part of him wanted to murder both of them for daring to threaten his mate.
"She's your mate?!" Sebastian scoffed, "The fucking half breed? When the fuck did you become comfortable with fucking the offspring of those that nearly destroyed our kind?"
"I'm warning you…" Greyson snarled before he was interrupted by Lexi's soft laughter.
"Well, I certainly didn't expect to be starting my day with such excitement." She giggled as she grabbed a fistful of Genevieve's hair and dragged the sobbing, squealing mess towards the two towering Lycan's in front of her.
She screwed her face up as she allowed her eyes to drag over them, assessing them quickly as Genevieve's hands clung to her own in a desperate attempt to relieve the painful pull of the strands of hair that were enclosed in Lexi's fist.
"Ah, so you're the family that Greyson doesn't want to tell me about," she commented casually, "I'm Lexi, by the way…seeing as how we haven't been introduced."
They shifted awkwardly on the spot, their faces like thunder as their eyes flicked between Genevieve and Lexi.
"Don't worry, I don't need your names, after all…I'll probably only use them to gain some sort of hold over you, right?" she tittered as waved her hand dismissively at them, "Besides, if Greyson wants nothing to do with you, then getting to know you is about as important to me as the maggots are to the dead."
Seeing their puzzled looks she sighed dramatically.
"Not very bright are you?" she squinted at them, "Why the fuck would the dead care about maggots? They're dead…" she grinned.
"Wait…are you... threatening us?" Sebastian frowned incredulously.
"I mean, if the shoe fits, motherfucker, then you should wear it like the queen you are." she smirked, winking at their outraged faces as she thrust Genevieve forward towards them, "Here, take your little whore and keep her away from me and my mates, okay? She knows what will happen if I catch her at it again and I'd hate to have to take time out of my busy schedule just to deliver on them. It gets quite messy after a while."
Sebastian and Logan exchanged a look as they caught the stumbling woman roughly.
"Please," she whimpered, "She's insane! She…"
"Shut up." Logan growled as he gripped her arm roughly, "We'll deal with you privately unless you want a public punishment…"
Genevieve's eyes widened in fear as Logan's face split into a sneer and despite the obvious dynamics at play here, Lexi couldn't bring herself to feel any pity for her.
"This isn't over Greyson." Sebastian threatened, baring his teeth, "Father isn't here to stop the retribution this time.."
"Like I fucking need his help," Greyson spat, "Now take your breeder and fuck off. Let us enjoy our breakfast in peace."
With a final snarl and a dark look that threatened unimaginable violence towards them, his brothers left, dragging Genevieve along with them.
"Do you think we should help her?" Allen murmured quietly as both Lexi and Greyson turned to him and scoffed loudly.
"You reap what you fucking sow," Greyson snarled as he made his way back to the dining table and threw himself in his seat, beginning to shovel food into his mouth angrily.,
"I'm going to say this once Allen," Lexi said sweetly as she sidled up to him and wrapped her arms around his side, "Stop being so fucking nice to people that don't deserve it."
She planted a gentle kiss on his cheek and taking him by surprise, slapped him hard on the backside as she made her way back to the table, with Allan's eyes watching the almost sinful sway of her hips closely.
That woman…his mate... would be the death of him…
