Forbidden Fruit: Mated To My Sister's Best Friend Chapter 181

Sofia's Point of View

"Are you sure you don't want to stay in bed? I am sure you are still tired," Ethan said, concerned. I knew he wanted me to rest and not go with him to the pack jail to speak to Mandy and the two royal guards but I wanted to be there. I was the Queen, after all. I was supposed to be there plus I wanted to find out who was the leader of the group.

"I am sure. I will be fine," I replied.  

I knew Ethan wanted to argue, but he knew it wouldn't change my mind. I was determined to be there when they questioned them. Ethan and I walked to the pack jail, and when we arrived, King Edward and my dad were already there. 

"I told you that I am not going to tell you anything," The guard said

"Oh, you are going to talk one way or another," King Edward said, and then his eyes turned red. "Now, tell me what you know. Who is the leader of your group?" King Edward asked in a commanding voice. 

"I said I am not going to speak," the man said

"Oh, you will speak. Who is the leader of the group? Answer me now?" My dad said and the man  rubbed his head. I could tell it was getting hard for him to disobey the command. I knew someone had given them something to fight the Command because they didn't listen to Ethan when he tried but it seemed to have been getting harder with both King Edward and my dad commanding them to speak. 

Ethan walked over to where they were standing and spoke. "Tell me who your leader is," Ethan said, using his command. 

"I will never talk. You will have to kill me," The man said, and King Edward got in his face. 

"Oh, you will speak one way or another," King Edward said before he walked out of the cell

"We have to get them to speak. We need to know who their leader is we can stop them. I am sure they know something is wrong because Monte' is gone. They could start a war at anytime and the worst thing is that we don't know if there is anyon else in the kingdon that is working with them," King Edward said. We were sitting in my office trying to figure out how we were going to find out who the leader of the group was. 

"You know what needs to be done. They won't talk," King Edward said and I instantly knew what he was talking about

"I know," Ethan said

"What? No. YOu are not going to torture them," I said

"What other choice do we have My Love? We have to figure out who their leader is and stop them. This is the only way," Ethan said

"Just because you torture them doesn't mean they will talk. I know that is what you did to Monte' and he still didn't talk," I said

"One of them will," King Edward said "We need to get this over with. I am going down there and if you are coming with me then come," King Edward said and he got up. 

"No, you are not going to torture anyone," I said and then I looked at Ethan. "You are not going to do this," I said

"What other choice do we have, My Love. I am not going to let anyone hurt you," Ethan said

"I am not going to watch you torture them," I said and Ethan sighed

"I know. I am sorry," Ethan said and then he got out of his seat and walked out of the door with King Edward

I was upset at what they were about to do. I wasn't dumb. I knew that Ethan must have done things like that before, but I didn't want to see anyone tortured. There had to be another way to get the truth. Ethan, my dad, and King Edward all tried to use their command on them, but it didn't work. Someone had to have given them a potion to fight the command. Then, a thought came to my mind. There might be a way for me to get them to talk but I knew Ethan wouldn't like it. 

I had no choice but to try. It was either I took a chance or I let them torture people. I quickly got out of the chair and made my way down to the cell. I walked inside to see King Edward extending his claws to torture Mandy. 

"STOP," I said, using my command. That caused everyone to look at me. 

"Sofia, what are you doing?" Ethan asked

"What I have to," I replied, and then I looked at Mandy. 

"I need you to tell me who your leader is," I said, using my command. I was shocked when she instantly answered but more shocked at what she said

"Our leader is your sister."
