ETERNAL SHADOWS ~~ CASTLE
"Huh?"
"I said we....."
"Never said I didn't hear you! Why did you suddenly change your mind?" She asked.
"I will take you out of Garberville then you'd go back to your clan and when you go back don't try to come back here!" He said and she furrowed her brows.
"I'm not understanding you. Why are you suddenly changing your mind?!" She asked and he stood on the railings before standing at her front.
"Go dress up Ava!" He said and turned to go but she pulled him back by the arm.
"I am not going to agree until you give me a reasonable reason why you don't want us to marry anymore!!"
"You really want to die huh?!!!" He snapped and she furrowed her brows..
"I will kill you sooner or later Ava and I don't want to do that so I want you to leave!"
"Who said I'd let you kill me?" She asked and he scoffed.
"I can defend myself yunno!" She said.
"Okay then. We're going to fight RN, I'm going to go all out and if I bring you down to the ground, you're leaving!" He said and she blew out air from her mouth.
"The wedding is tomorrow, you can't just cancel it!"
"I'm the Lord. I can do anything!" He said and left the terrace.
She didn't even know why she didn't want him to stop the marriage. She just doesn't want that to happen and she won't let it happen.
She walked to the closet and brought out a black long sleeved cropped shirt and a black fitted jean. She took it with her into the restroom and when she took her bath, she put it on.
She came out and packed her hair in a ponytail before putting on a Nike sneakers.
She went downstairs and out of the castle. She saw Lucian standing there and she sighed remembering the first time they fought.
"Lucian! Please don't stop the wedding!" She said and he kept quiet.
"You won't kill me Lucian!" She said but still no reply.
"Or do you want to kill me?!" She asked and he turned sharply speeding to her.
"Yes Ava. I want to end you so badly!!" He said through gritted teeth and she bit her lips.
"Then why don't you do it?" She asked and he inhaled.
"Your kind killed my brother Ava, I can't have your kind as my wife!!"
"But that's just what you don't understand, I am not the werewolf who killed your brother. Not all of us are the same, you should know that!!!" She yelled.
"You won't be talking like this if you know...." He stopped talking and sped out of the castle immediately.
"Lucian!!!!" She yelled and ran after him too. Her eyes turned golden and her wolf ears came out, her pace increased greatly as she tried to catch up to him.
He stopped at a mountain and screamed out. She stopped behind him breathing heavily.
"I caught up to you!!!" She grinned happily and he turned a side of his face to her.
"Leave me alone would you?!!" He snapped and she smiled.
"Not until you agree not to end the wedding!" She said.
"Why don't you want me to end it? You want to spend the rest of your life with me?" He asked facing her and she blinked.
"Maybe!" She said wiggling her brows.
His eyes widened immediately and he turned around, a blush creeping unto his cheeks.
She sat at the top of the mountain staring at the sun rising. He sat beside her and she smiled looking at him.
"I don't want to go back to my clan just yet. They banished me remember and I can't go to the human world, they're looking all over for me so it's only staying here that's an option.!" She said.
"So if your clan never banished you, you would have gone back?" He asked.
"Nope. That place became boring since I always stayed inside or do chores or train. That's why I started sneaking out and I guess I met a nice man whom I thought was nice!" She said.
"Oh!"
"I use to regret having loved the guy but now I don't think I regret falling for him!"
"Why do you say that?" He asked and she smiled.
"I'll tell you another time. Just please don't end the wedding!" She said and he stood.
"When we marry, you'll become the queen of vampires! Meaning you'll be busy keeping things in order!"
"What's your job of being the Lord huh?" She asked with a frown standing up and he smirked.
"I'll just relax and....."
"No no no! I ain't doing all those. Once I become your wife, I'm allowed to move freely in Garberville and I'll look for a job to do, you cool with that?" She said and asked.
"Maybe! Let's go!" He said and sped away.
"Heyyy!!! Wait for me!!!!" She yelled and ran after him speedily.
The day went by so fast and they laid on the bed staring at the ceiling.
"Can't believe I'm getting married tomorrow!" She muttered.
"We can still....."
"Oh please don't say that, I'm just shocked!" She said and he exhaled.
"There's no going back Ava. You really need to think this through!" He said and she turned facing him.
"Is there something you're hiding from me?" She asked.
"I just...." He stopped and closed his eyes.
"Let's sleep!" He said and she stared at his face.
'Do you really want to do this Ava?!' Her subconscious mind asked.
'Yes and I know you want to do that as well!'
Ava smiled before closing her eyes.
Lucian's eyes opened and he looked at her.
THE NEXT DAY ~~
Ava was seen sitting in front of the mirror as Gorya did her makeup.
"Am so happy for you Ava!" Gorya said and Ava smiled.
"Why would you be happy, I'm just marrying him cos of the deal we made!" She said..
"Whatever, am still happy to have a sweet werewolf as our queen!" Gorya said and Ava blushed..
"But be careful Ava. A lot of enemies are coming to you soon, if you aren't strong enough, you won't be able to overcome them!" She said and Ava smiled.
"I know. As long as I have you as my wonderful teacher and Lucian as my soon to be husband, then I'll be fine!" Ava said.
"We won't be with you all the time Ava!" Gorya said and Ava looked at her.
"You seem to know a lot of things Gorya!"
"You won't understand yet! Let's make you look really pretty, prettier than some people" she said with a smirk and Ava laughed.
~~
"Are you sure about this?" One of the ministers asked.
"This is my mother's last wish, I need to fulfill it!" He said.
"Okay then. We support you on this but if she tried betraying us..."
"I'll kill her myself, don't you worry!" He said and they nodded.
He was already dressed in a fine black suit. They all left the house speeding to the hall used for the wedding.
A lot of people were already in and he sighted Rina who sped to him.
"You really want to pull this through?" She asked and he just stared at her.
"Suit yourself!" She said with a scoff and went back to where she sat.
He sped to the altar and stood there with his hands crossed behind his back.
One of the ministers was standing at the alter as well.
The door opened and Ava stepped in.
People were shocked to see how beautiful she was.
"Lord has a good taste!"
"She's an enemy!"
"So? She's pretty"
Murmurs were heard as she walked into the hall heading to the altar.
Rina was glaring daggers at Ava and Ava just smiled at her as she walked. She stopped walking when she got to Lucian.
He brought out his palm and she took his hand. He led her to where the minister was and they stood facing each other.
"You're pretty!" He muttered and she blushed.
"Thanks!"
"Don't get used to it, I won't repeat it!" He said and she chuckled.
The vows were made...
"I pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the....." He didn't complete his statement cos of the glare Lucian gave him..
"You may now celebrate!" He said and Ava looked at Lucian who also stared at her.
She looked at the ring on her finger and she smirked.
"Married to a vampire, how cool is this?!" She gushed happily.
He held her hand and sped them out of the hall heading to his castle.
"It's done and dusted, I hope you're happy mum!" Lucian muttered going to change.
Ava smiled and twirled in her dress happily.
"Now I can move about Garberville without any problem!" She smiled and took off the dress before wearing a black shot fitted dress and a black boot.
"Am going to explore the town hubby, don't miss me too much!" She said and giggled.
"Hubby?!!!!" He asked and she laughed before leaving the castle.
She got to the gate and the guards bowed before opening it.
She smiled as she walked out of it entering Garberville.
"Cool!!!" She muttered at how beautiful it was.
She walked down the streets and the vampires there stared at her.
She just smiled at them and continued walking. She bumped into one of them and she bit her lips.
"Am sorry!" She said.
"You aren't blind werewolf, are you?!"
"She is certainly not as you can see!" Lucian said from behind and the vampire looked down..
"Lord!"
"She apologized already, fvvk off!" He said and the vampire sped off.
She looked back at him and smiled.
"Thanks hubby!"
"Don't call me that!" He said with a serious face and she pouted.
"Why?"
"Just don't!" He said and she frowned before walking off.
She felt him behind her and she rolled her eyes.
"Stop following me!"
"You might get into trouble so I have to....."
"I can handle myself! If I need your help I'll let you know!" She said and he stopped walking.
"Okay!" He said and sped off.
She rolled her eyes again as she kept walking.
She walked down the street and the vampires that attacked her before came forward.
"Hey!" Shs said with a smile.
One threw a knife at her and she dodged.
"The hell?!!!" She yelled.
"Just because you're Lucian's wife doesn't mean we'd ever accept you. Your kind killed our people and having you here is an abomination!!!!!!!" The leader yelled and she bit her lips.
'Did her people really do all these?!' She thought and sighed.
"Am sorry on their....." She couldn't complete her statement when another knife flew by her grazing her cheek.
"Your sorry won't bring back the dead. It won't! Attack her!!!!" He yelled and his minions started running to her.
Lucian sped to the leader holding him by the neck. The rest turned and tried running but Lucian stopped them.
"Make one step and I'll make your deaths more painful than his!" He said without looking at them and they stood shaking fearfully.
"I let you guys go freely the last time you did this bullshit and you had the guts to try it again?!!" He asked his eyes turning red.
He was draining the life out of the leader.
"I'm....s...sorry!" He stuttered and Lucian smirked before letting him go.
He sped around them giving them slashed before coming back to her.
She looked at him then at the people who's bodies were falling to the ground with their heads separated from their bodies.
She looked back at him and blinked.
"Thought you said you could handle it?" He asked and she sighed.
"Our kind really troubled y'all?" She asked.
"Forget about that. Let's go!" He said and she glared at him.
"I called you hubby and you told me not to!" She said.
"It's somehow!"
"What about honey?"
"No!"
"Darling?!"
"No!!" He snapped and she pushed him aside before walking away.
He sped to her and held her arm before pulling her with him taking her to the castle.
She pulled out of his grip angrily.
"Leave me alone!" She said and he frowned.
"We married because of my mum. You don't expect me to be calling you sweet names or for me to allow you call me all those, I don't like it! You shouldn't even be angry cos it's pissing me off!" He said and she blinked.
"You don't have to keep reminding me that. I know but sometimes can't you just act all happy or jovial and not always frowning?" She said and asked.
"It's not your business if I smile or not!" He said and turned to start going in.
She frowned and pulled him back before pushing him down to the ground with her on top. He frowned as he stared at her hands on his chest.
"It's my business since am now your wife!" She said.
"Oh please. Get off me!" He said and she smiled.
"Nope!" She said and he wanted to talk but she placed her finger on his lips shushing him.
"When your wife talk, you obey. Now apologize!"
"For what?!"
"For getting mad at me for no reason!" She said.
"That's exactly what I should be telling you!!"
"Gosh, you're being such a a headache!" She said shaking her head slightly.
She looked at him and blinked when she saw him staring at her.
"Just kiss already!" Gorya said from a side of the garden and they turned their faces towards her.
She smiled and left.
They looked back at each other and she smiled.
"Don't you dare!" He said and she laughed getting off him.
"I don't even want to, don't get your hopes high!" She said and he gave her a glare making her laugh.
"Let's go eat, I'm starving!" She said and he stood speeding into the kitchen.
"Heyyy you better not touch any food there!!!!" She yelled running after him.
The guards at the gate looked at each other and chuckled.
