Dagaa and Madhava let loose their wrath as they set upon the dishonorable male. It wasn't a fair fight, two against one, but Geirr had sealed his fate attacking the females.
A handful of punches later, Madhava found himself face to face with the panting bloody male.
"If these were the old days, I'd gut you slowly for hurting my bonded." Madhava spoke calmly barely a breath from Geirr. His subdued tone belied the rage seething inside.
The male just glared at him, unrepentant for his despicable acts.
"Count yourself lucky." He snarled.
Madhava lashed out, lightning quick he gripped the male's head and twisted, breaking his neck with a sickening crunch. Geirr dropped limp to the ground.
"Clean this excuse for a warrior up." Dagaa bellowed to the nearby guards that had gathered.
Justice was swift where males attacking females was concerned.
"Let it be known, that no one touches my bonded." Madhava snarled to the warriors and anyone listening on the other side of the wall.
Madhava huffed, willing his emotions to subside. He couldn't return to Providence looking like a rabid beast.
"Did you see our girl?" Dagaa asked with a sideways glance as they marched into the manor.
Madhava didn't like that his female had been attacked by the prejudice male, but she'd defended herself so well, it nearly made him grin from ear to ear.
"Is it wrong to think she looked sexy beating that piece of shit?" Madhava asked attempting not to smile.
"Probably but I'll be damned if I can convince my manhood to behave." Dagaa replied with a glance down at his crotch.
Madhava grunted in agreement.
The men found Providence sitting with Giselle in the rear foyer. Both females looked frazzled. Kagan knelt by Giselle checking every visible inch of her. Madhava felt an immense sense of relief from the fact they weren't visibly injured or collapsed in a heap of tears, now that the worst of everything was over. He couldn't bear it when Providence cried. His female was tough, he'd known that fact before, but seeing her in action just hammered that point home.
"I'm fine Kagan, just a bit dirty and scraped up. “Giselle insisted. "He didn't get a chance to do more than knock me down."
"Well you're having a medic check you anyway." Kagan growled as he picked Giselle up. "Thank you Providence. I am in your debt." Kagan told their little female.
"Yes, thank you. You were bad ass." Giselle agreed with Kagan before he carried her towards the manor clinic.
"Let the regents know the meeting is over for today." Dagaa instructed the guard by the door as he scooped Providence up in his arms.
Their little mate was favoring the hand she punched Geirr with.
"Are you okay?" Madhava asked in concern as he looked Providence over.
He lifted her hand noticing her bloody knuckles and grimaced. His female may be a warrior at heart, but she was still delicate on the outside.
"Nothing a little ice won't fix." Providence smiled wanly. "Boy am I glad you guys showed up when you did. Things escalated fast."
"I'd feel better if the medic looked at your hand." Madhava insisted as he flexed each of her slender fingers.
Providence winced and Madhava heard the gasp she tried to repress.
"Okay, but I've been in my fair share of tussles, especially when I was younger. Let me just say, people never made the mistake of talking crap about my sisters more than once. I've got a short fuse when it comes to people I care about."
Madhava shook his head. He pictured his fiery mate taking other males to task. She was incorrigible.
"Well you don't need to worry about this mess anymore." Dagaa said as they headed down the hall.
Madhava concurred, he'd taken care of this particular problem.
"I doubt that. It's clear there are Cadi that are very, very unhappy about foreigners being here." Providence frowned.
The medic finished treating Giselle's scrapes then tended to Providence. Madhava nearly lost it when the male reported Providence had a hairline fracture in her smallest finger. The medic stabilized the injury though not much else could be done.
"I'm just going to give you a little something for the pain." The male said as he picked up the injector.
Providence nodded. Her tense expression relaxed, showing the medicine was taking effect.
"Thank you." Providence said to the medic with a broad lazy smile.
Madhava sighed knowing she was getting some relief. The scent of her anger, fear and pain had been needling him. Since he'd marked Providence, every one of his senses, at least where she was concerned, had been stronger. He felt like he was on high alert. The instant he heard her scream a switch had flipped in his brain sending him over the edge. It was slightly disturbing. He'd heard the older bonded males talk about what happened when a true bond existed, but nothing could've prepared him for this.
