Hell marriage:Ava's plight
Chapter one
How will you feel if your husband brings home every night a mistress and you are made to sleep on a couch in your own matrimonial room and forced to hear the sounds of their se*x episodes continually every night?.
This is the fate I face every night since the night of the moon goddess 7 years ago , it hurts just to think of everything he said then and everything he thinks of me
To think we were once in love and could never get enough of each other, we would always do ordinary things that feel extraordinary to us, like walk in the park, bath in the pool together, play in the rain.
Thinking about those times brought a new coat of tears to my eyes, we were two odd and different people but we fell in love in an unfavorable environment, we had planned to get married in a faraway place where no one knows about, owing to the fact that we're not of the same race I'm a wolf and he's a vampire but we've been mated and there's no way of changing that So we've accepted our fate and he seems to like me and even though he haven't marked me, we fell in love
Then the evening before our escape he barged into my room in the slaves quarters and asked to talk to me privately in a deadly quiet voice that sent cold chills down my spine, he had never used this tone to speak to me since i had known him
I tried to calm self down saying I'm just exaggerating his voice
"Why did you do this?" He asked me calmly not raising his voice one inch and maintained his quiet voice
I don't understand I was confused
"We had planned to get married in the morning haven't we?"
"So why did you get so greedy?"
"Why did you? no, I will tell you why you did it, because you couldn't stand the thought of getting married in a filthy old church you wanted a large wedding and everything that comes with it so you announced to an Elder that you're my mate and that we've mated even though I had not even marked you and Alpha of black canyon and the king of myths both who happened to be my father now thinks of me as a disappointment" He gave a dark chuckle
I was shocked and confused I had done nothing of the sort
"But I didn't do.."
""Save your breath wolf I was fool enough to acknowledge you as my mate and fall in love with you and now you've shown me your true nature of deceit and greed, you disgusts me and from now on let me make one thing very clear you have no right to my life or my bed" He turned to go, when he had opened the door he looked at me with deathly chill in his eyes
"And oh congratulations, for your information the king has ordered to get us married and now your luxurious future is settled" he said without emotion and got out closing the door gently behind him
I couldn't understand anything, the ease with which he blamed me for the things I haven't done, the next thing I knew I was wisked out of the maid quarters to a large luxurious room with it's own parlor.
In the midst of this I couldn't understand a thing, my mind was numb and my heart was disturbed, the maids were all gossiping away about how shameless I was, claiming we had mated, others said I was lucky to get married to the crown prince.
I didn't care about a thing they all said amongst themselves, of course even when my pack mates and friends that were also slaves looked at me disgustingly all I wanted was to see connor and explain things to him but at the wedding he had smiled gently at me without it reaching his eyes for the guests's sake of course, I had searched for the sign of the man I love and had found none and I had given up hope of explaining things and on our love.
"Your highness, it's sunset already we would be expected to be back now" Lydia my head maid and my best friend I mean that was once upon a time said to to me in a cold voice.
I chuckled, the fact is I don't give a damn about what anyone thinks of me anymore I had, had 7 years to become numb to my emotions.
"Instruct john to start the car I would be there shortly" I told her dismissively
"OK your highness" she walked away
Since I had nothing to do in the palace I had visited this place every day since 7 years ago this was our special place, we would always watch the sunset here,
I signed deeply and got up from my laying position unto my feet and headed towards the car.
*****
"The king said to come and see him when you arrive" A guard told me as i stepped down from the car, trouble in paradise again? I hope I'm not whipped this time, the last one is still sore on my back.
"Good afternoon your majesty" I greeted as I entered, lowering my face, even though the king is 340 years old he looks like he's 35 years of age.
"I heard a complaint about you" he said, oh here it comes, another reason to have me punished.
"Princess Anne said you took the car she intended to drive out to a friend's party, out for your jungle ride" he said grimly
"I wonder how the moon goddess could mate you with my son you're completely brainless and now what do you have to say to this complaint?" He asked
"Nothing your highness, I plead with her highness to please forgive my childish and gullible behavior." I said in quiet voice what do I have to say? There are many cars and I had taken the lowest in price one, this complaint was to have me punished.
The king grunted with satisfaction.
"Being sorry won't be enough father, judging by the tone of her voice" The princess said with a cheeky grin on her face
"Very well then, it seems the princess isn't pleased with your apology "
"Guards make her stay in the dungeon overnight" Connor said out of no where.
"And make sure to give her the same food as the other prisoners" he said with a grim on his face
I couldn't say anything, what's there to say my own mate and husband has given the order,
The guards took me away to the dungeon.
Connor POV
I couldn't help my self, it just came so naturally to me to punish her, I can't believe I loved that ville woman once upon a time, what was I thinking it's in their nature to lie and deceive I can't believe I let myself think of her as different from others of her kind.
"You did well son" the king said
"She has to be put in her place and you chose a suitable punishment from whipping her, it seems she has become accustomed to that by the stiffness of her neck"His highness said
"I believe it's none of your business how I Run my family and what punishment I give my wife, don't think I did that to please your Gullible daughter and one more thing don't ever call me your son ever again." Connor Replied calmly
"I wish she had never met brother then brother could have married a vampire like ourselves " princess Anne said, overlooking Connor's insult to her
"What can we do we can't help it can we? The moon Goddess has mated them" The king said shakily, Connor's words not far from his mind.
" If you excuse me I have some works to do" with that Connor left their midst.
Ava's POV
The rats were happily running around me,
I was so hurt by what Connor did,by now one would think I would not be bothered about anything he does, I feel so disgusted with myself for caring about anything he does but damn everything he does keep hurting me time and time again.
"It's morning your highness, the prince has asked that you are released " A guard said so suddenly that I was confused if he was actually talking to me.
" uhn ok""
He opened the door and helped me up
"His Majesty has also requested that you see him immediately"
Now what does he want from me?
Hell Marriage
Chapter 2:Volcano:Ava's POV
"I ordered for you to be here immediately you're released, what took you so long to get here? " Connor asked immediately I entered the room
"Sorry your highness,I thought to change my dress before appearing before you"I said to irritate him.
Well I decided If he has decided to make our marriage hell for me then I'm not keeping quiet anymore.
"You did what! Defy my orders?"
"How dare you!" Connor said angrily
"Well your highness I thought you wouldn't like for me to appear before you dirty, if I had offended his highness by doing this then I'm sorry for I have no intention of disobeying his highness"I said in an old fashioned manner
"Get out of my sight"Connor said grinding his teeth.
I turned and went out. When I got to the room I allowed myself a smile of satisfaction well this is a small victory for me, I went into the bathroom to take my bath since I had always refused the maid's help to undress me.
Connor's POV
She insulted me while trying to obey me, seems like her spirit has awoken, well enjoy your victory while it lasts woman Cause it's definitely not going to last that I promise you.
" your highness the criminal has been brought inside the throne room"A guard said to me
"On who's orders?" I asked calmly.
"On the king's orders your highness"
"And did u inform him of my orders?" I asked
" Yes your highness"
"It seems the king has forgotten who the ruler is around here" I said in an amused tone.
"Announce my entrance to the throne room I'll be there in two hours" I said
"Yes your highness"
"And relay this message to everyone except anyone wants Connor's wrath nothing must be decided of the criminal's matter'" I said in a commanding tone.
"Yes your highness" the guard said and left
Seems the king has forgotten who rules this place, how dare he overides my orders, well he's gonna explain himself in two hours time after I take my time in the bath
"Your Highness I think you've annoyed Connor with the order you gave" prince Alex said.
"If I'm to be honest with you I think I made the wrong decision either and to think he has given us two hours means he doesn't approve of me bringing the criminal to the throne room to be questioned " The king said
"He hasn't given us two hours father, he has given you two hours " Prince Alex said
"Really son deserting me now,you gave me the idea" The king said with a grim face
"But I never asked you to follow it father it was your decision to do so"
"Can you please stop this !" Prince Eyre said disgusted
"I think what father needs to do now is create a speech of apology to tell Connor when he arrives"
Ava's POV
I finished eating the last Bacon on my plate not tasting the food at all I was planning how I can get back at Connor for all the things he did to me
"Your highness can we take the plates now?" My maid asked with a sneer
"Yes you can" I told her,anxious for her to leave quickly
After the maid left I started walking around the room trying to decide quickly while Connor is in the bathroom.....
"Are you planing on wearing a hole on the rug, if you want it changed say so,stop trying to make me notice you" Connor said so suddenly that I jumped.
"I didn't want you to notice me, infact I wish you never knew me " I replied bitterly and longingly looking at his chest Carrissa is So lucky I thought as i stared at his waist wrapped up in the towel leaving his upper body for eyes to see
"Oh yes, you never wanted me to know so you could gone ahead and lived on your life with your lover" Connor said tauntingly
"Well you can say whatever you like I'm out of here" I said angrily
"Walking out on me? I dare you to do that" Connor said with a lopsided grin
"Well watch me" I said
I slipped on my sandals and went out of the room furious with myself do being there in the first place,now where do I go?
Oh yeah the library! I can go there and plan without any disturbance.
Connor's POV
Goddess I can't stop laughing,the look on her face just was so amusing, wait but why does look like she's determined to do something, is she up to something mischievous?
I seriously hope she's not unto something mischievous because I'll hate to see her healed wounds tear up again, I really do hope she won't force me to give an order of whipping to her again because no matter how I hate her I don't like seeing her hurt but if she forces me then so be it, now let's see what the king has decided for himself, it will be interesting to see the punishment he chose for himself for going against my orders.
James POV
"The Prince is here your highness " A guard announced
I swallowed hard, I wish I had never taken Alex's advice to question the criminal without Connor's permission knowing that he had personally ordered that no one is allowed to see or question the criminal.
"Good morning king" Connor said as he entered and sat down on his royal throne straight away.
He has stopped addressing me as father 20 years ago after his mother died and he has taken on his powerful form the true Alpha of our clan, I wish I had killed him when I had the chance then it would have never come to this.
"So what do you have to say to justify your actions king?" he asked in an amusing voice.
Ava's POV
I felt dejected as I walked back towards our room, I couldn't plan anything, I just couldn't come up with anything.
As I entered the room I saw Carrissa laying on the bed waiting for Connor, I was about to turn away but an idea came to my head, yes!
Exactly what I wanted.
"Uhm Carrissa what are you doing ?" I asked in an uninterested voice
"Well as you can see, I'm waiting for the prince, so if I would like it if you don't disturb and let me rest, I'm gonna have a long night you know, unlike some people I know that sleeps throughout the night like a mule" she said smirking.
Such arrogance, well you're not sleeping there tonight you epitome of arrogance.
"Well I was just trying to pass you a message his highness sent" I said in an even voice
" his highness has ordered you to leave for your room tonight, and that he has no need of you for the next three days either " I told her shocked face with a proud grin.
Hell Marriage
Chapter 3: Wanting revenge
Ava's POV
I enjoyed looking at her shocked face, I grinned so widely that I could feel my jaw crack.
Now this is the first step of my victoy, I smiled, pleased with myself.
"And just why are you smiling so much?"Carrissa asked on her way out.
"You won't understand honey "I called after her.
I'm sure she is going to cry tonight after this, I rang the food bell, got out of my clothes and entered the bath.
Prince Alex's POV
Father was pathetically shaking in front of Connor, Connor has decided that Father's punishment will be that he guards his own room for four Consecutive hours tonight, I wasn't spared either, father mentioned my name as an accomplice, I've been given the horse stall to clean the whole of tomorrow, Connor gave us embarrassing works, not fair Connor, not fair, now wait and watch how I make you pay.
Connor's POV
I smiled again to myself as I walked towards my room, I enjoyed watching the horror on those bastards face as I gave them their punishments, now they will never again disobey my orders.
Just as I was about to enter my room Anne came up to me.
"Connor spare father, he can't do that in the full glare of the public, with all father has done for you, you have nerve to do this to him, how dare you Connor" Anne yelled at me.
"Oh sweet, sweet little Annie" I said in a mocking tone.
"Perhaps you would like to take your dear precious father's place at my door tonight?" I could see the horror on her face at the mention of that,
"And oh Annie the punishment I gave to your father is small compared to what I had in mind for him" I told her lovingly
"You Rascal, how dare you!" With that she stormed away.
I turned and entered the room only to find Carrissa not on the bed and Ava taking her place.
"What's happening here ?" I asked in annoyance
"What's happening where?" Ava asked me so innocently
"You know what I'm saying woman, don't test my patience" I said getting annoyed even further
"No Connor, No not tonight, I don't have the strength to deal with you tonight, the only thing happening here is me sleeping on my matrimonial bed and that won't change Connor"
"You can punish me as long as you like, or put me in a dungeon, this won't change " she told me with a touch of finality.
"Where have you sent Carrissa?" I asked her
"I sent her to the place she is meant to be, the bush" she said with a hint of smile.
"No, no don't give me that look, I sent her home"she said bursting into laughter
"Did you consort me before doing that?" I asked yet again
"No, since I'm your wife why should I consort you before changing things in our room?" She asked me
"Who do you think you are to decide that here?"
"Well for one thing, if you've forgotten I'm your wife" Ava told me tauntingly
"You little wolf, you dare go against my orders and..."
"Oh no, Connor please your insults won't work on me today, I want to sleep either you accept it or not I'm sleeping here, you can either join me or sleep on the couch" Ava told me and turned her back on me to sleep.
Ava's POV
I giggled silently, my plan has worked, after telling Connor off, he stormed into the bathroom and hasn't come out for one hour straight
Just as I was about to sleep Connor came out of the bathroom and switched the lights off and slept on his own side of the bed
His scent was coming so strong, I feel stolen by it, I felt I was in heaven, he's so close to me that I actually perceive his aftershave, and his heat was enveloping in shades, I felt my breast tingling I felt so uncomfortable that I turned to the other side closed my eyes and forced myself into sleep.
James's POV
"Your highness, it's your turn to guard the door now" one of Connor's guard said to me, he has been told to watch and remind me of my duty at the appropriate time, oh Connor you're going to pay for this, just wait and watch how I'll make you pay for humiliating me like this
"Just a moment, I'll just put my crown down"I told the guard
"No your highness,Connor has ordered not to drop the crown while you work" he looked at me threatenly
"Oh okay, let's go"I said quickly
Connor's POV
I woke yawning, I haven't slept this peacefully and late in a long time, I feel so great and I reached naturally across the bed for Carrissa and I found no one there naturally Carrissa wouldn't dare to leave unless I tell her to, I sat up and opened my eyes looked around the room, then it all came back, Ava taking Carrissa 's place and all.
I got up and went into the bath, came out five minutes later and discovered that Ava is not in the room, now what trouble is she up to cause now?.
I shrugged in surrender and made my way to the royal dinning I didn't find Ava there either, I sat on my Alpha's sit
"Start bringing the foods" I ordered
The maids started filling in and bringing different kind of foods, my mouth started to water, has there been a new cook? I wondered.
We started eating, I took the first bite of what I was eating, I felt like I was in heaven then Ava came in, I couldn't take my eyes off her, she was wearing a provocative dress, a blue dress that matches the color of her eyes, sleeveless and the dress hugging her body tightly, I felt so jealous of the dress and wish I was in it's place instead, I looked away to divert my mind from the dangerous place it was heading to.
"Who cooked this food?" I asked a maid
"Me" Ava answered seductively.
