Chapter 1 - Chapter one ; YOU MARKED ME?..

 Father !!.." she shrieked as she watched her father's head roll to the ground and his body swayed and fell heavily with a thud . She chocked on her tears , her mother was already dead covered in her own pool of blood . Her fiance was missing. Her chest heaved heavily as her eyes suddenly snapped open . The bed was soaked with sweat as she couldn't shake off her nightmare it haunted her .

 She slowly sat up and tried to breath . She had remembered everything, he had dragged her across the hall as she pleaded to let him go . Her wedding dress was stained in a pool of blood while he forced her to make a vow with him .

 Her hand clenched the sheet in anger . She have been in this room for a few days , having the same nightmare. 

 " Awake?".she heard a deep voice and her gaze trailed across the room only to have her breath caught in her throat. He glanced at her lazily with a smile that wasn't actually a smile . He sat on the sofa with his leh elegantly crossed ,she couldn't help but stare at his hypnotic silver eyes . She grith her teeth

 " what do you want ? You bastard ..I'll kill you !! What has Astoria ever done to you to deserve it … your nothing but a devil.." she screamed angrily when she heard him chuckle , she couldn't help but want to scream when she saw him lean so close to her .

 He grabbed the back of her neck and tugged her forcefully to him .

 " Is that so ? ..how many of my people has your people killed by the sword ?... You should be grateful that I left you alive after what your father did to me all this years " she could hear the anger in his voice and his eyes flashed with deep hatred and disgust. What do he mean ? Father wouldn't do anything to hurt anyone.Imposible was he trying to make her hate her father 

 " I don't care whatever he did to you but you have no right to kill thean I love …you really disgust me do you really think I'll trust a murderer like you ? " She spat those words at his face angrily. 

 " you are disgusted?... Unfortunately you are my wife now and my mate you can't run away " his finger trailed to her neck and her pupils dilate

 " You..you marked me ?" She stammered

 " Watch her and don't do anything to hurt her or I'll kill you, there's a bouquet tonight get her prepared " he stood up and glanced at her for a second before walking out .

 She couldn't help but breath out when he walked out only to notice a woman standing next to the window flickering her cigerate.she had a blackshort hair and wore a black strap dress that revealed her slender figure.

 How could she not know that these creature were always perfect she looked down and clenched her hand on the sheets

 " You're really beautiful..you look like someone I know ..I'm Lilian Garcia " she glanced at her , she shuddered at the glaring red eye's

 " I want to leave please…I don't want to be here" she felt fear when she saw thowe eyes 

 " Impossible!.. do you hate us so much ?.. do you get irritated?.. ha!. Your worst like your cold hearted brother and father . " She sneered 

 " I..I didn't mean to I.." 

 " No need …. It's already getting dark , I'll tell the butler to prepare a meal for you . After that you'll get prepared for the party " she spoked calmly while her gaze lingered at her making her feel uncomfortable. 

 She watched as the door closed and the sound of it locked . She sighed , she glanced at her hand chained to the bed although it isn't tight but it hurt . She was too weak to protect her family.

 …..

 " Scrub your body ..do you think your still a princess of Astoria! .. get into the water " they pushed her into the ice cold water as her body trembled. They scrubbed her body so hard her skin turned blue .

 It hurt so much . Suddenly a crisp slap echoed in the spacious bathroom

 " How dare you ! …What do you you think your doing.. " she heard a growl and shrinked back into the water 

 ".We're…sorry..we didn't mean to ..please spare us " they knelt down with a thud and Arielle glanced surprisingly they looked son powerful when bullying her just now 

 " Get out .." she watched them run away like they were chased for their lives

 " Don't you know when someone is bullying you ?.. how can you bath with such a cold water do you want o kill your self ?" She asked angrily that Arielle forgot to breath . She lowered her head .

 She didn't know why she felt guilty wasn't she the victim

 " Get up …I'll prepare a warm bath for you but if you get a cold it's your fault " she turned and walked out .

 In a few minutes, she glanced at her self on the mirror. She didn't like the revealing dress , although it looked beautiful but she felt so uncomfortable going to a party wearing this. 

 " It's perfect isn't it ?" She could only nod , she was surprised there was so many outfit that was her size although it looked old but she couldn't help but feel strange.

 " Are you okay?" She heard Lilian ask 

 " Of course not .. I'm very much okay , the dress is really beautiful thank you " she smiled . 

 " We'll be late hurry up .." she spoke bit I could see a small smile on her lips .

 " Those clothes ..?" She asked 

 " It used to be his mates clothes but unfortunately she's dead . It will be cleaned up tonight.. so don't worry " she spoke as she walked out leaving her confused and running to catch up with her
