Hell Marriage

Chapter 23: Mated

Alaina’s POV

I smiled satisfyingly as I heard Nicholas Scream the word stop, now the bitch will finally die and will be out of my hair forever, from the fear I heard in his voice it seems Connor killed her already, well that’s…. Great!.

Guards rushed past me into the room, no, it’s more like a dungeon. I ran with them so i won’t look weird, standing there and smiling, I ran breathless farther down the tunnel then into the room, being accustomed to light, the blinding light didn’t affect me, it was meant to slow Connor’s senses along with the drugs but I doubt it even works on him, by the events of the night.

Nicholas stood there…. shocked to his marrow according to the look on his face, I t was clear no one can save Ava from her looming death now even if they try. my insides got warmer, I was so happy I wanted to yell hurray, so much that I want to dance and party, oh Selene I warned you, you might be the Goddess but not even you or anyone can interfere when I take matters into my hands and decide people’s fate, this is so exciting, I tried not to look as happy as I feel but instead I tried and I think I succeeded in looking Miserable, I didn’t know when a cry of anguish came out from my lips, I guess My acting gets better everyday, I grinned only for a brief moment, thank Goddess i wiped the grin off my face quickly and assumed a sober look just in time for Nicholas to stare directly at me, though unfocused at first, the instant he recgonise me, his look of grief turned to one of anger, oh no, I hope he doesn’t suspect me.

Nicholas’s POV

I walked back lazily towards the Security room, I had to go back there to get my car key. Why I forgot it there in the first place eludes me, I have a lot of work to do at the Palace but I wasn’t in a hurry to get there, Ava must have a lot of questions for me about Elder’s whereabout, I seriously don’t know if I can keep lying to her. Just as I was about to climb the secret stairway Alaina found earlier, I want to spook her, and leave her on the edge, this is foolish but I can’t resist giving her a taste of her own pill, I glanced around wanting to make sure no one sees me when I spot a shadow running, did something happen to Connor? Why are the guards running to the room, I took to steps back and started to make a run for the room when I took an abrupt stop, something feels strange here. I don’t see anyone else running, and doesn’t that person looks feminine?, wait, is Alaina going there?, but to do what?, did she perhaps find a solution?.

I saw the disapering back of the female just as she entered, I stopped dead in my tracks, doesn’t that looks like Ava?, I laughs nervously, of course she can’t be the one, thinking of her probably got me seeing things, Ava is in the palace safe and worried sick about Connor. Worrying myself for no apparent reason, I’m stressed that’s why, and I’ve started to see things. Concluding it was an illusion or something, I turned around going up the stairs once more, let’s scare Alaina.

Wait a sec, Nicholas Donnacha never gets illusions, as far as I know I’m never unsure of things, if I saw something down there it means I saw it and if it was Ava I saw then…. I’m not sure about this but just to be on a safer side, I’ll check the room, just to be sure though.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

I walked slowly towards the room, glancing around, I walked through the tunnel checking and surveying the tunnel as I moved, my guts kicked into action, something feels wrong here, my scalp tinged at the prospect, hearing the rattling of chains and iron being lifted, my ears felt as if being pricked, well it’s probably Connor trying to break the chain, I moved quickly all the same, maybe I really need some sleep, I’m hearing things, well I haven’t slept this couple of weeks, maybe when I get back, I should probably nap down one you or two….. When I saw her, my heart rate increased Drastically, she was kneeling in front of him, the fuck she is, he snapped the chains and yanked her swiftly in his arms, I yelled running towards them, hoping to safe her, but it was too late he bit her already, I stood at the gate not knowing how long I stood, staring at him as he drained life from her, she neither scream nor whimper, she just layed in his arms as tears slid down her pretty face, there was no use trying to safe her, she died the moment he dug his Teeth in her flesh.

Time flew so fast, I heard movements around the room, I something like a cry of anguish, I glanced around and saw Alaina, the idiot, she was supposed to keep watch in the security room, you would have seen Ava immediately she stepped on the premises, except?, does the witch have anything to do with this?, I moved towards her in rage.

Alaina’s POV

Nicholas moved towards me slowly, one would think he’s coming over to me just for a chat, but looking at his eyes, you’ll think and know his coming over with the intention of killing me.

“What’s wrong Nicholas?” I asked immediately he stood in front of me.

“Everything” he said teeth clenched.

“Wha… What do you mean?, surely you can still save Ava right?” Choosing to act like I don’t know the meaning of what he meant by Everything.

“Not if Someone intended for this to happen in the first place” He said, if eyes could kill, his would have surely sucked life out of me.

“What are you saying Nicholas?” I asked still pretending, even though fear has started to creep into my spine.

“Do you have anything to do with what happened?” He asked, his eyes frightening.

“I don’t know what you’re saying, I didn’t ask Connor to kill her did I? ” I replied

“Oh, I wasn’t even talking about Ava dying, I was asking if you know about the fact that the blood being fed to Connor was poisoned” he smirked dangerously.

“What are you saying?, you said what happened, I thought about Ava entering this place from the garage area and getting killed because she entered Connor’s cell and….. Wait, Connor wasn’t fed any blood since we, I mean you brought him here so……” I asked confused

“Ofcourse, that was only a trick question and you confessed to knowing about Ava getting here, you Traitor, this was your plan all along” he said, his nails elongating.

Damn I’m done for, that all was just a slip of tongue, I’m no match for him, he’ll kill me with just a movement.

“I didn’t, you don’t understand Nicholas, I … I…… Stop Nicholas” he moved towards me and I moved back till my back met with a hard wall. Every movement ceased, everyone stood watching silently.

“You killed my sister in law, you witch, now taste how it feels to be dead.” He yelled at me. He locked his hands around my throat, he lifted me up with just one hand by holding my throat, I was chocking on my breath, scared I’ll die without completing my task, I fought like a mad person, clawing at his arms, I know it was useless, he’ll kill me anyways. I couldn’t breath anymore just when I thought I’ll die,

“Ava?” Someone said in a whisper, the room was eerily quiet so we were able to hear, Nicholas turned, his mouth dropped open, I followed his eyes and saw Connor staring at Ava in his arms. He looked up and glanced around.

“What’s happening here, why is Ava not answering?, did I… perhaps try to kill her?” He asked, fear crippling into his lovely gray Silver eyes.
