KINGDOM OF METH, KING ARES ELIJAH MICKELSON'S PALACE.
-
ARES POV
-
I haven't been able to close my eyes.
It has been about a month now.
I could not control myself, Because I have been wolfing out countless times.
Ashter just couldn't sit well with the situation.
I expect him, like every other wolfs to stay dormant whenever their mates goes missing.
But not Ashter, he has been tormenting me.
I stare at the large mirror in I and Avalon's closet.
Bags beneath my eye brows, I do not know what to do.
After I and my soldiers searched every parts of the kingdom for Asmodeus, and we could not find him.
I could not find my Avalon.
I am a lone king without his mate, without his sanity.
I have left Dorian to take over for the main time.
He was thinks I am getting too weak, and the kingdom will mock me for it.
So I step down to make Dorian the temporary king. And ofcourse he has been coming to me.
We have been making reinforcements, and no sign of Asmodeus around the universe.
He did not even attack any country. Any kingdom or any villages.
I have been overly paranoid,but thanks to my suppression spell, my insanity has been on point.
Ashter says he can not feel mate, but he can feel she is still alive.
And once, he says he could feelher, he says that she was in danger.
I had ordered a mass search, in discreet for Avalon.
The whole warlocks form Luca's generations, joined with witches from diff covens are coming today, I had ordered them to visit the palace discreetly to confirm a location spell on Avalon.
That is when Ashter decides to be quiet in my head.
He says he has a feeling Avalon is still doing fine.
But I miss her touch, her smile, her lips, the way I kiss her.
The way she makes me feel tingles whenever she touches my skin.
The way she makes me smile when her cheeks turns red form embarrassment. How she usually gets coy, when I call her my love.
I am totally in love with her, their is no denial. But I feel stupid for not letting her know about it.
She is like the breath I breathe.
She is the sanity in my insanity.
I have never felt this way before. Even when my mother died.
When my mother died I felt like th whole world is dead and Is against me.
Like I was the cause for the demise of every persons that I love.
My father, my mother, my first bodyguard, Tobias. He had died from me.
When I was so little, he was killed by my father, Asa. Because he was their to guard me from father.
Tobias was the only one I had put my trust in whenever father was in rage and has lost it, he would hit mother mercilessly.
But you could feel the love he has for her.
But what man, deserves respect when he hits his wife at home. And is made a king?.
So because I decided to take matters into my own hands, that day, I got in the way of my father, pleading him not to hit my mother again.
Untill he threatens to kill me if I do not give him his space, allow him to keep hitting her. I denied, daring him to kill me, his only son, whom he cherishes because he knows I will be the future king. Against my own will, he made a treaty with Asmodeus that when I become king he could come to me. And not come to torture my father anymore.
I never understood at that time.
I had very rough time as a child.
I was brutally hated, by my own family. Is it my father who claims to love me only because I will be the next king who would have to suffer for his own deeds to my mother?. Because he stole my mother from Asmodeus, his wife, who was my mother.
And my mother even claims to love me.
I have been fooled the whole time.
I never knew she loved me because she my birth brought about the beginning flourishing in the kingdom at that time.
But I was in turn cursed, I do not know the way to break this curse.
My stepbrother brother, Derrick, hates my guts because everyone whom I love ends up dying for me.
Except Dorian, he says he does not care for my curse, he loves me still as his brother.
Who I appreciate, but I have been keeping our distances fro his own safety untill now.
"My king, we will find her majesty I am sure of that. But you have to eat something".
Penelope begs. She has been pleading with me all this while to eat some food and I have been refusing.
"You would need energy to perform the spell, the witches and the warlocks are here. They said you would need your energy. Eat up your majesty. The queen would not like to see you starve".
She continues. Ofcourse I need my energy. But I am not hungry.
I just need Avalon.
And to have her, I need energy .
So I complied.
After having my bath, I, Penelope,Luca and Dorian walks back to the palace secret room.
"Is everything complete?". I ask Luca who is right beside me on my left.
"Yes your majesty." He anaswers and I nod.
"And I have asked them to put up the protection wards. So no one except the people in this knows about this."
Dorian Continues.
"Thank you for everything, Dorian. And both of you too". I thank the three of them.
A day never goes by without them visiting me. And checking up on me.
It was announced to the kingdom that I was not feeling do well, and that the queen has been taking care of me. That is why they cannot see the queen too.
Most ministers comes to visit, but they are not let in to my room, Penelope and Luca has been collecting their offerings.
I feel so damned because I couldn't be the type of king my mother wants me to become.
The type of king I want to become.
And I hate myself for been weak beacuse of Asmodeus' plans against me.
I hate myself for not been able to save my own mate.
I walk In the room where the witches are and warlocks are waiting for me.
All dressed in their own attires.
On the ground is a drawing of a pentagram.
It indicates EDOMEI.
"Asmodeus took Avalon to EDOMEI?. "
I almost scream.
"Yes your majesty. We have already casted the location spell without you. We are surprised that we are able to channel powers here in the palace. It seemed like a devine witch had been present here but not anymore. It made things easier for us your majesty".
One of the white whiches said. She is the leader of their coven I can see.
The divine witch is Avalon they do not have to know that.
"The only thing we have to do now is, portal you into EDOMEI. And to bring back her majesty!". She ended.
"No way!. You do not know what Asmodeus will do to you. If you go to EDOMEI and are not able to return?. What if you go there and it means you are playing according to his games?".
I understand Dorian's worry, he does not want to loose me.
"Enough with the what ifs Dorian. You just must stay positive for me. Make me feel your care for me from beneath. And I shall return." Replied, giving him a long hug.
I did the same with Luca, even Penelope.
"Please_ help me tell her _majesty we miss her". Penelope says as she is trying her best not to shed tears before me.
I get it, she loves my wife, her and Avalon usually goes out as friends.
"Of course I will. Luca, Dorian, Penelope. The Kingdom is in your hands. Please make me proud, even though I have been a coward. Untill I return!".
I say without another glance, I walk into the pentagram.
"Are you sure about this Ashter?". I ask my Lycan.
"I will do anything to get Mate back. Even if it means visiting hell and it's prince"!
And with that...
"PORTAL ME TO EDOMEI!"
