POV Elisa
I have have a splitting headache and my body is seriously aching. I slowly open my eyes, and I see Vatler's bright smile.
Wait! Vatler ?
I immediately spring up from my bed, ignoring all the pains I initially felt.
" What am I doing here, get me out of here ", I scream.
He doesn't seem the least fazed by my reaction.
" My Lady, you need to rest. His Highness would be with you shortly ", he says still wearing a smile that starts to creep me out.
No ! His Highness ? Wait, where's Kristan.
" Kristan . . . What did you do to him ".
" No need to worry for your friend, he's fine and safe. For now at least" .
" For . . . Now ? . I need to see him, I'm the reason he's in this mess . . . "
Niklaus enters and shivers run down my spine.
" Hello, Wife " , he says with a smirk as he approaches me.
" Please, I beg you to let me go . . . Let us go "
" Who's he . . . Tell me ! ", he says with rage evident in his already cold eyes.
" He's just a friend, he saved my life " , I say and I see the smirk slowly appear on his face.
" Why don't we go see this friend of yours"
He drags me by the hand as I strive to follow him up as Vatler follows behind us, not saying a single word.
He's probably as heartless as Niklaus.
It take say few minutes til we arrive at a - Dungeon ?
Why the hell would he put him in a dungeon. I feel tears well up in my eyes after I see his condition. I'm well aware that we barely knew each other but he saved my life and welcomed me into his home and for that I am grateful.
" Ali . . . Elisa . . . You ", he stays silent when he meets Niklaus' eyes. I look him in the eye and notice he's trying he's best to conceal his anger.
Niklaus leaves and I silently thank the heavens.
" What the hell, Elisa. You didn't find it necessary to tell me you were betrothed to the Alpha ! ", he finally speaks up, the anger evident in his eyes.
" I'm so sorry, I didn't know how to tell you ", I say as the tears flow down my cheeks.
And Darn ! They won't stop.
" How could you not tell me, now I'm as good as dead. Do you know what he has done ?"
" I know and I'm so sorry ", I didn't know what else to do or say except to apologize.
" Well I'm sorry for my . . . . " , he gazes up behind me and freezes.
" Brother ? ", he suddenly mutters. I look up at who he's referring to - probably another prisoner, I guess. I am shocked as I see who see speaks to . . . .
Vatler ? - " Bloody Hell " is all that can come to mind. How didn't I notice, same last name and they both have bright alluring eyes.
Vatler seems unfazed as he's expression remains calm.
" Brother, I'm so glad to see you . Get me out of here so we could leave this hell of a place. Away from all the lies and deceit ", the excitement evident in his tone as he calls on his long lost brother to come to his aid.
I understood he was referring to me but I couldn't care less. Vatler is his brother ?.
Vatler continues to stare at him, he's expression still unchanged. He finally opens his mouth to say something.
I and Kristan's eyes widen in shock upon hearing his words.
