It took me a minute to realize a figure was blocking the sun from touching me, I looked up to find Connor staring down at me,
"What do you want?" I blurted out before I could stop myself, my breasts still tingling from touching his chest earlier; I didn't really understand my body's reaction to his; I've always been aware of him, but not in this way.
"You want me to punish you so bad right?" He asked with a dark tone; I could feel my face getting flushed, so I lowered my gaze.
"You can only punish me; it's not like you can kill me." I shrugged and pushed off the ground with my toe, planning to resume swinging, but he yanked me off the swing and dragged me against his body, my feet barely touching the ground.
My breath hitched as I looked him in the eyes, our nose almost touching.
"What are you doing?" I tried to speak, but my voice came out thick with emotion; my whole body was held to his; I was 5'6 to his 6'2, so my body lined with his very hard one.
"Are you seriously trying to seduce me?" His gaze darkened but not in the scary way I've come to know, there was something unreadable in his gaze.
I was about to bang on his chest and demand that he release me but I caught a figure crushed behind a rose bush, he or she must be one of the garden workers but hid away to avoid confrontation with Connor or me.
I wonder how long the person has been there but it was just as well, what's an opportunity if I cannot use it to my advantage?
"What if I was?" I replied, my voice almost a whisper. I wrapped my arms around his neck, but doing that brought my breasts even closer; I gasped.
Connor must have felt the shiver that went through me because his arm tightened around me, and groaning hard, he lowered his head and took my lips.
I blinked several times before my brain registered what was going on, Connor kissing me?! I tried to say something, but in doing that I opened my mouth to him, the kiss was hard and long, it wasn't my FIRST kiss, but it was my first KISS.
I moaned into his mouth and the kiss deepened, and I lost myself to him, before long my hands were in his hair, gripping him tightly, I writhed in his arms, I could feel his poke in my center and I went wild with pleasure, I would have probably done something weirder than what I was already doing if he hadn't snapped back.
He dropped me roughly on my feet that I would have crumbled to the floor if I wasn't holding him prior.
He grabbed my jaw and yanked my head back.
"If your plan is to seduce me so I can go easy on you, then you're sorely mistaken, when I get back from the war I'm going to punish you so hard, the thought of seducing me will never go through your pretty head again, you want to seduce me? I'll give you more than you can ask for, you won't be able to walk straight for a week"
Author 's POV
Ava's eyes widened like they were going to pop out of their sockets, it was the most Connor ever said to her, she felt him, not just his words but his very hot body too, she has felt his hard on poke her from beneath the clothes. She blinked many times trying to get her hot face under control.
"Why? You're worried I'd die in the war?" Connor let out a tiny smirk after seeing the fear in her eyes, he couldn't decide if the fear was there because of his threat or the mention of war.
"No" Ava said sternly, setting her eyes on him with all the hatred she could muster. She stepped away from him so fast like his touch burned her.
"I wish you would die and never come back" She turned and forced herself to walk away calmly.
Connor watched her walk away from him, her perfectly shaped legs taking one step after the other. He wanted to yank her back and take her right there in the middle of the garden, and have her pinned beneath him until she screamed and begged for his mercy.
His blood ran cold,
he couldn't believe he just had that thought about Ava, she was his prisoner but he was the one having problems breathing.
He vowed to never touch her again and set things back in their place but...
"Fuck" He said in a dark tone, he wanted her.
*
Even though Connor tried to convince himself that Ava didn't mean anything to him, he still couldn't think about anything but how he could see the top of her breasts where his shirt lay open on her chest, how her mouth tasted like, how soft her breasts felt pressed against his chest.
"Damn, give me something better than that!" He turned his frustration and anger at Nicolas.
Nicolas did a double take, he noticed Connor has been in a bad mood since noon, he couldn't even focus on the meeting which was unlike him but he wasn't about to press his buttons. He cleared his throat.
"The werewolves are south of here" he pointed to a location on the map.
"But we can't get soldiers there in time before they reach and slaughter Vampires in the Dodge" Nicolas said calmly.
"Send a message to the coven leader, if we can't get there in time to save them, they should save themselves" Connor said, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
Nicolas tapped the glass barrier and the driver pulled over.
"Connor?" He relaxed in his seat and faced his cousin.
"Why are we stopping?"
"You want to tell me what's up? Your head isn't in the game" Nicolas Donnacha, the second most dangerous vampire was the only one on the continent that could address the vampire king informally.
"A little annoying fly craving destruction but it's nothing" He said with a blank expression, he didn't like being interrogated or anyone guessing his thoughts but there was nothing he could do to shut his cousin up.
"Yeah, then you know the vampires up south can't defend themselves because they're night vamps and it's day time, they'll burn if they step in the light" Nicolas said with his brows raised. He could only guess that it had something to do with the queen, Ava had shocked everyone in the dinning hall and it was a miracle she didn't get her fingers chopped off.
"Fuck, phone the helicop-" BOOM
He didn't finish his statement before the car went up in flames.
"Excuse me? Can I get this in green?" I looked up at Gracelyn, the owner of the best fashion boutique in the city. Immediately I left Connor, I went to the room and made calls to two separate boutiques in the city, I was going to get the prettiest clothes I've ever had and all on his money. "Yeah sure, it would match your eyes" she gave me a sweet smile, I yawned and stretched, my stomach made grumbling sounds, I didn't get anything to eat since breakfast. I could pretend that it was the clothes selection and fittings keeping me from eating but it was something else, The rumors of war against the werewolves and Connor's kiss was enough to keep my stomach in knots, I might be married to the Vampire king and even though technically I haven't gotten my wolf and I might never get her, I was still a descent of the werewolves and one of them. I wasn't scared for Connor, I was scared for the rest of my kind."Why don't we finish this tomorrow? Just send the rest of the designs I picked o
It had been many weeks since Connor left for the war, and many weeks since Gracelyn posted the picture that went viral, throwing the Internet in frenzy for weeks after. Less and less people were coming into the dining room, it wasn't hard math, I knew it was because of me, Anne had stopped coming since that evening but I couldn't care less even though there were times I wanted to hide away in the room and just stay there, I didn't. I woke up everyday, bathed, ate but I quickly realized the palace was extremely boring so I created my own fun, I even made proper friends with the maids that were nice to me in the past. I planned, schemed and mapped out the perfect revenge plan, but everyday Connor didn't come back, made it seem like wasted effort.I couldn't even go outside the palace, the media was always lurking outside the walls and it made it hard to seek fun outside. The second day after Connor went to war, I had ordered a high tech phone and opened an anonymous account on social
Connor lifted his head and stared at me, I was breathing unevenly, I almost begged him to continue!A corner of his lips lifted and he smirked."Your punishment can wait, I have a gift for you" I felt a little disappointed and ashamed at the same time, That wasn't supposed to happen, I shouldn't have let him touch me. "Wear something and meet me down in five" He said curtly like he was deeply annoyed. He left me there digging my nails into the bed, I closed and opened my eyes several times not believing what happened. It felt like a betrayal, he had touched me and I had let him.He treated me like an animal for so long and suddenly changed his mind to treat me like an item, invading my body and taking whatever and whenever he liked, and what was even more frustrating was me liking it! I got up slowly and headed to the closet, aware that the five minutes was fast approaching and I didn't have to do anything he said but I was curious. His gift could be a punishment but I wasn't going
Hell MarriageChapter 9: Beaten by MonstersI woke up with a startI was covered in sweat, I had a terrible dream about my mate, I watched her die in my dreamI couldn't quite shake away this feeling since last night, I feel as though she's in danger, this is a bad feeling I'm having and my gut is never wrong I better have a guard check up on her"Guard!" I called out"Yes your highness" A guard answered"I want you to go to My mate's room and see if she has woken up" I ordered I stood up from the bed and moved into the bathroom and splashed cold water unto my faceI was back in the room cleaning my face with a towel when I heard someone knocking at the door it must be the guard I sent to my mate's room"Come in"Stepping into the room"Your highness, her majesty is not in her room, infact it has been reported that she didn't sleep in her room last night " The guard said staring at the floor "Then where in the palace did she sleep?" I asked, coldness sipping into my voice"I do not

Hell MarriageChapter 11: RescuedHe's so foolish he really thinks Connor's scared of a gunHe can kill him in a split of seconds if he wants to"Oh no you didn't go, what do you want me to do to you? Kill you?" Connor asked frowning"Do you want a beating?" Connot asked"Shut up you scum b... Arrggh" he suddenly fell down then I saw the person behind him, it was a guard that knocked him out unconscious"Take away and lock him up"Connor OrderedHe cut loose my legs"Are you comfortable?" He asked me"Hmm" I replied"Can you walk" he askedI tried getting up but fell again"I guess that's a no" he saidBefore I could say Jack he lifted me up into his arms so comfortably "Put me down" I said angrily"What? You can't walk so I...""I'm not leaving except Jap comes with" I said stubbornly "What? Who's Jap?" Connor askedI looked around the room then found Jap shivering in a conner"There" I saidConnor glanced at him then back at me"But you can't..""I want him with us or you leave me
Hell MarriageChapter 12: DoomedAva's POVConnor placed me gently on my bed, I released my hold on his arm, he stared at me a while then straightened up to go, which I regret badly because his body warmth left me."Connor" I said in a whisper desperately, he makes my body tinge, I can't even believe I called out to him."Get some rest"He said coldly"Wha, what of Jap?" I asked when I found my voice"He'll be fine" he look down at my body longingly"I'll send your maids to you, don't move" With that he moved out of the room leaving me to stare at his retreating back, leaving me to think of the desire I saw in his eyes, was it real or I'm just been foolish and delusional, if it's real was the desire in his eyes for me?.James's POVI entered the Elder's room and saw them turn to stare at me, I'm not bothered about their stares or critism only about the fact that Connor might find me guilty or he may think I know where Alex is, or maybe he has found Alex and that stubborn brat is in gra
Hell MarriageChapter 13: Caught I released him quickly, I can't believe I held on to him, I glanced the maid in the room, she is looking down at her toes but I can see her face very very red, how could I? It seems I have become shameless without realising it, Connor cleared his throat "What?, you're still here, don't you have any manners?""I, I'm, I'm sorry your highness, it just that you haven't asked me to leave " the maid said shakily "Well get going, I'll like a moment alone with my husband" I said not knowing where I got the courage from, the maid went out of the room in quick steps, i look down at my hands where I was resting on my laps,Connor put to fingers under my jaw and lifted my face up, I refused to look at at his face I was too consumed by shame, He simply tipped my face upper, i have no choice tgan to look at his face, what I saw in his eyes made me shudder, I saw hatred, fear, passion, care in his eyes,I don't understand, all this emotions, are they for me he m
Chapter 60: The End and the BeginningAva's POVFor quite a while I wondered why Connor risked his life to save Calvina, he told me later, and it turned out that Calvina and Allan were police officers working for Connor.It finally became clear that Connor already suspected the man called Jaguar who turned out to be Alex anyways, he said Alex had sent his men to take over Myth, but unfortunately for them Connor regained Control over his Demon and they had ran away, but like every criminal make mistakes even if it's the tiniest of mistakes, they left enough trails, and Connor inserted his people into Jaguar's team but they never really knew he was, because they never get to see him.And since Calvina and Allan had old grudges against the man called Jaguar, the married police couples wanted revenge and they would have done anything to get it even if it meant losing their lives. It turned out Alex has been Jaguar for a long period of time even before he ran away from the country, he ha
Chapter 59: Unbelievable Truth"The men said you harmed her" Jaguar said immediately Alaina entered the room to give him 'News'. she couldn't pretend she doesn't know the 'her' He was referring to.The nerve of the guys!, if only she could teach all of the one big lesson, Alaina thought as she feigned a smile."I asked you a question, and when I ask questions, I expect Answers" He said coldly, you didn't ask me no questions motherfucker, you said as if you your dogs already told you, she thought but still said."I'm sorry, it was the only way, she would have created a scene, if I had not done that" She said quietly,"I gave you a simple instruction lady, and you couldn't follow it" He said, clearly enraged."I'm sor......""Disobey my instructions again, and I promise you, you won't see another moon" He said and got up from his seat."Well Ladies and gentlemen, shall we proceed?" He said and smiled sunnily, you'd think he wasn't the same man speaking few seconds ago.He left the room
Chapter 58: Wanting her for himself"What's wrong?" Elora asked when she heard the word kidnapped."Just a minute" Nicholas said and Covered the phone with his hand."Give me a minute" He mouthed to her"Hey buddy.....""I think she has been kidnapped Nick, I've been searching for the past three hours, and Everywhere I searched has been a dead end, she's not in the country Nick, she...." Connor said, breaking into an agonizing sob."Calm down dude, I'll be right there, just text me your location" Nicholas said dropping the call."Oh shit" He swore as he started dressing."What's happening?, where are you going?" "I'm really sorry, but I have to go, Connor thinks Ava has been Kidnapped" He said hurriedly."Oh my world!" Elora Exclaimed"How did this happen?""I don't know, all I know is that Connor needs me right now and I'm going to him"He picked his car keys"I'm sorry things turned out this way honey, I'll make it up to you, I promise" He said and was out of the room."So much cha
Chapter 57: The Wedding (wedding night)James' POVSo stupid, if he thinks he can threaten me by mentioning that good for nothing boy's name then he's mistaken.How dare Eyre threaten me?, oh I Wish Alex was here, he would have straightened him up and helped me make this plan a success, where in the name of hell is Alex anyways?, how can he just disappear on me like this? I hope those useless boys carry out the plan well, if not that rotten girl won't leave me in peace, Even Connor knows what I'm capable of doing if I get angry, forget that he's a demon, I'll ruin him if I want to.After all I helped him get the thrown, Selene knows why he had gone mad all those years, it wasn't part of the plan, and he had come back to take the throne away from me, the plan was simple, kill Logan, but he killed both Logan and his mother, very foolish a boy, but why am I thinking about the past?I have the present and I can use it to my advantage...... The sharp ringing of the phone Jolted him out
Chapter 56: Back home where it matters.Evil Connor didn't get the chance to finish his statement when Logan Lunged at him. He pinned his neck to the wall, I could see Evil Connor changing, his claws and teeth were out, but by now Logan already transformed, and he was draining Connor's strength quickly.Connor slashed the side of his face but Logan didn't even flinch, he fought with his might and slashed Logan in many places but he held on steadily, Logan raised his other hand and stared at it weirdly, he looked at them as if he just saw them, he traced his twin brother's Jaw with his Claws, he was another being, he wasn't bothered by the fact that his prey was fighting for his life, then one thing occurred to me, he was enjoying the show, he was finding pleasure in killing, he was exactly like the way I saw him that night in the dungeon, he has lost control and his demon has taken control over his senses, I turned my face away, I knew he was going to kill his brother, nothing could
Chapter 55: Conspiracy A male figure stood before the fire place with his hands folded behind him, I could barely make out his Silhouette in the darkness, the only source of light in the room was the fire place, and he was standing before it at the moment.I glanced around the room, I was surprised at first, to see Zeres relaxing in a chair, then it clicked together, if Zeres is here, then the man standing before the fire is definitely Connor's twin, and if they're talking about the King's death, then I'm sure they've done something nasty, and they're up to no good."The poison worked?" He asked Zeres."It's one of a kind boy, it's bound to work, even on a being as powerful as him" Zeres replied smiling smugly."What have you done to the king you rat heads!" I yelled at them, not that they can hear me or anything, but I was so angry that I wanted to slam their heads together.The figure before the fire started laughing suddenly."Good Commander, you're so goddamn good, I didn't think
Chapter 54: Connor is Logan?"Because, dear brother I'm Smarter and all the girls love me" A male voice said, pride evident in his voice.I turned around and saw the dining room, Sunlight spilled into the room, uhn?, how come I'm here?, then it came to me, I'm here because I wished for it.Just by thinking of it or saying it, I just kinda get transported, is that how I got into the painting?, Of course!, Oh my gosh, while I was standing before the painting, I had thought, woah what a great family, I wish I was able to meet the lovely woman In the painting, and see if she's as nice as she looks, then I was able to see her.Then later I wished to see her and the kids, then again I was transported, later I wanted to see what the kids look like when they're older, and I saw them and now?, I'm able to see them in their teen years, which was exactly what I wanted!.Seated at the table were 8 or 10 people, the king, I mean Lucian, I figured it out by now, I guess he's Connor's father, he w
Chapter 53: The Painting (So much hatred)"How dare you!" I yelled in frustration, I was beginning to begining to hate the man's gut, I never knew he had so much hatred for our race, and the fact that despite all my yelling, they were all acting as if they can't hear or see me, maybe they can't see me, but they can hear me right?I was screaming my lungs out and no one asked who it was or gave me a glance, they must be really deaf or something, I mean how could they..."You do realize Commander, that the race you seek to kill are Powerful Living beings and not some powerless dogs like you said" King Lucian Stated, Amusement written on his face, King James hatred obviously amused him."Exactly!" I said in acceptance of what he said, how can King James think like that?, his mind is muddy and his head is not in the right place, like we're weak commodities to be Cleared of market simply because the seller decides it. We're not mindless creatures, nobody owns us."That's the problem your h
Chapter 52: The Painting (Definitely not a ghost)Ava's POV(Earlier)For a moment, I thought I was imagining the scene before me.I closed my eyes and opened it again.The painting has transformed into something more.... Should I say real?The woman's gentle smile was more alive."This cannot be happening" I whispered under my breathThey were smiling at me, smiling for me."You might want to hold the young master closer your highness" I heard a male voice say gently behind me.I turned around, I saw a man seated behind a board,"It'll make the picture more...lovely" He said, looking straight at me, no straight through.I turned back to see the posed family, then it occurred to me, they were posed for their picture to be painted.So damn hard, in the world I come from, your picture would be taken in less than a second with a camera, and it will be according to the way you want it, but this?, I bet it'll take hours of sitting before it gets done, and the babies are so still, they're n
