Hell Marriage

Connor’s POV

I led Nicholas out of the room gently, I ordered blood for Alaina, not that I really want to, but I can’t let Ava see her like that.

I don’t want her to misunderstand things, I led him to my library, Ava had gone to the Charity house, with her brother.

Nicholas would have killed Alaina, had it been that Ava didn’t send me to look for him and give him his phone.

I didn’t know who Ava had spoken to on the phone, but after she spoke to the person, she made me go look for Nicholas, I heard his thoughts even before I reached the second floor, he had intended to kill her, then I heard her scream…… Just what the heck would have happened if he had killed her?.

Ava would have blamed herself, she would have been sad, then I would have killed myself for making her cry or sad, Nicholas would have hated and blamed himself for my death, and would have done something stupid like ending his own life,

His mate would have been shattered, if he had killed that worthless thing today, our lives would have changed, it would have affected everyone, it would have ruined us. I sighed, relieved that I was able to stop him,

“Why did you come?” He asked, looking straight into my eye. I tilted my head to the side.

“Why?” He asked again. I knew what he was talking about.

“I know you didn’t come there just for the purpose of saving her Logan, so why?” He asked, studying me.

I searched my pocket for his phone, the main reason, I had gone to find him.

“Your phone rang, and Ava picked it, then she sent me to go look for you” I shrugged, then threw the phone across the table, it glided towards him, he stopped its movement with his hand, all this while his eyes locked to mine.

He moved his eyes to the phone, he muttered something under his breath, he dialed a number, presumably the person who called.

“Elora?” He said.

“Sorry, I was busy”

“Splendid”

“What?”

“Next Tuesday?”

“Of course”

“Yeah, more than you know”

“Your mother couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful day”

“Just the thing I had in mind, will be there in 20 minutes” He said, and cut the phone, grinning like some high school kid who just had his first sex with the school nurse. I raised a brow, I heard only his part of the conversation but obviously he’s planing to go out.

“What’s up?” I asked, when he continued grinning like a fool.

“I’m getting married” He said, like it’s news to my ears.

“Like you haven’t said it before” I rolled my eyes.

“Next Tuesday” He said.

“Oh boy” I said, Woah, that’s news to my ears.

Calvina’s POV

I waited outside her door, while she sucked on the blood that was brought to her, of course we don’t drink human blood anymore, it’s a law. But the royals still do, to preserve their strength, not that Connor or Nicholas needs them but the rest of the royals do, so there are willing humans who donate their blood, and of course. Willingly.

She finished more blood, she sighed in pleasure, well I think now’s the time to talk.

I knocked on the door, she answered and told me to come in. Careless, she didn’t even ask who it was.

I entered and closed the door,

“Well, well well, if it isn’t the maid?” She smiled, I smirked, if only you know.

“What do you want?” She asked, after noticing that I didn’t return her smile

“A favor, in return of the favor I’ve done you.” I made my self comfortable on a sofa. A look of shock passed over her features.

“And who asked you to sit?” She asked rising.

“Calm yourself Alaina, there’s nothing to shout about, except of course you’ll like to attract attention to yourself”

“I’m sure, after what just happened with Nicholas, you don’t want that” I said smirking. Even though, she’s smart, smarter than Carrissa, she’s still foolish in her own ways, I’ll use her foolishness to get the best of her, Trust me.

“How dare you……”

“Sit!” I told her sternly, though she’s a powerful vampire, I’m glad she recognizes a greater power when she sees one.

She sank back into her chair slowly.

“Good, now I believe we can communicate like the civilized people that we are?” I asked, crossing my legs.

“Yes” She replied, tight lipped. She appear to be really, really furious.

“Not to worry, the only thing I’ll ask of you is to return a favor, out of the numerous favors you owe me” I smiled.

“What do you want?” She asked, glaring at me.

“Oh it’s quite simple, I want you to meet someone, who will like to meet you.” I said. Admiring the pattern on the wall.

“That’s all?” She asked, she must be thinking it’s quite easy, good, you have more coming your way.

“Listen before you speak girl….”

“Don’t call that!, I’m not a girl!” She shouted, I laughed, so childish.

“Don’t raise you voice, you might regret it.”

I said calmly.

“What will you do to me, if I do?” She asked.

you don’t want to know girl, I’m putting up with you, because Jaguar wants you.

I ignored her question and proceeded,

“Listen, before you speak girl, the person that will like to meet you, will like to use you for some things, but that depends on you.” I shrugged.

“On me?” She asked

“Yeah, my Job is to make sure you meet him, and after that it’s left to you if you want to work for him.”

“So you’ll meet him, without question, and within the week” I told her, she gasped slightly.

“I leave here in a week, I’ll see your person in a week’s time” She declared, shit girl, I don’t have all the time in the world, I was raging on the inside.

“You’ve got zero bargaining power here Laina.” I said calmly, settling for a short version of her name, it obviously didn’t sit well with her, but what can she do?.

“I’ve already accepted to meet whoever it is you want me to meet, but I’ll decide when I want to meet him and……”

“We leave on Saturday girl, better start packing” I stood up and was out of the room before she could blink.

Elora’s POV

I finished my round, with my nerves jutting up and down, I went into the wash room to wash my face like five times, I was so nervous, he told me he’ll be here in 20 minutes but it’s already an hour, I thought as I changed from my uniform.

Suddenly I felt someone watching me, chills passed through my body, I turned slowly, and I saw him. He leaned against the door frame. Grinning

“You frightened me!” I accused.

“Sorry” He said with a low voice.

“What are you doing?, staring at someone while they dress is rude!” I shivered against the lustful look in his eyes.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself.” He grinned,

“You’re not sorry” I told him.

“Yes” He smiled broadly.

I rolled my eyes at his behavior, I dressed quickly.

“You’re late” I stared at him, carrying my bag.

“I’m sorry, your mum called, I went over to your place” He said.

“What?, mum has your number?” I was truly surprised.

“It seems so.” He shrugged.

“I’ll take you home” he said, not even asking if I want to go with him or not, such arrogance.

“What did mum say to you?” I asked, walking up to him.

“Some stuffs about the wedding.” He seems distracted.

“Is something on my face?” I asked when he wouldn’t stop staring at me.

“You look pretty” He said, suddenly, making me blush.

“Thanks” I replied, looking away from him.

“Let’s go” He said, not moving, from the spot.

“Yeah, first I, I have to go, go see Doctor Walker.” I stammered, his gaze was intense. Burning my insides.

“Don’t worry about Steve, I spoke to him, you have two weeks off and his hearty congratulations” He said smiling.

“What?, why did you have to talk to him?, I could……”

He drew me to himself and shut me up with a kiss.

His POV

Calvina called and I answered immediately,

“Yes?”

“Prepare the tickets” She said, breathlessly.

“When?” I asked.

“Saturday” She said.

“Time?” I asked again.

“Seven in the morning.” She replied.

“Good” I said and dropped the call.

Fantastic, that was fast, I thought she’ll have a little bit of problem with lady, it appears the lady’s a soft one.

I grunted in satisfaction.

I knew I could always count on Vina to always get the job done, yeah, others could also get the Job done, but Vina Could do it faster and discreetly.

This means, I’ll get my Job done within a week instead of two. Splendid, I’ve got nothing to loose, I thought as I placed another call to the person who holds the strings, no, most of the strings.
