My mate, my b*****e

CHAPTER TWELVE

I was not sure if Adonis was mad at me for what happened but one thing was for certain, I felt wronged. I was the one who was almost killed and he was mad at me? Where exactly is justice?

My train of thought was interrupted when Victoria walked up to me and yanked me from the ground. A wicked smile playing across the edge of her lips and at that moment, I hated her with everything I have got.

“You sure love to cause a lot of trouble, right?” The sarcasm and mockery from her mouth made me so angry, how dare she? I was not going to spare any of them if I go back home. I must make sure they all pay and they will all pay hard.

I didn’t bother to answer her as we both got to the door of my room and she pushed me inside, injuring my finger at that moment.

“Owww” I hissed in pain.

“The pain you will be facing will be much more than this, Charlotte”

I hated the smirk on her face and how I badly wanted to smack it off.

Not bothering to spare me another glance, she jammed the door on my face and I heard her footsteps died away as she walked down the large hallway.

With a heavy sigh escaping my lips, I slumped on the bed and closed my eyes. I was actually missing my home and my bed so much. I didn’t realize I was going to miss them like this if I ever leave and now i badly wanted to go back to the home I hated.

I wanted my mother to scold me and I wanted Alice to dress me up in corsets even if I hated them, I wanted father to tell me stories of the great British war, i just wanted to go home.

I jolted back from my thoughts when a noise from outside the window filtered into my ears and i quickly run towards the window, I was actually surprised to see a few baraouches drive into the compound and those men? They looked like infantrymen from my father’s house.

My heart began to race and excitement surged through my whole body. It seems they were here to take me home. The more I think about it, the more I get excited. Finally, I will be away from this hell hole and back to the world I belong in. At this point, I didn’t even want to know anything about my real origin again. I will rather chose to be the daughter of the king of the lower court of England than some werewolf in a no name country.

I happily walked back to my bed and threw myself on it, the injuries didn’t even mean much to me again.

Which each passing moment, I was waiting for a knock to resonate on my door.

And finally it came, the knock and before I could even stand up from the bed, the door pushed open and this time Ariel and her lover walked in.

While one was cheerful to see me, the other hand an awful look on her face. Well i couldn’t blame her.

“You should get dressed” Ariel told me, “Adonis wants you back in the hall”

“But I am already dressed” I answered, “I don’t think I will be needing another change of clothes”

“Why must you always complain?” Rose was genuinely upset, “just do as you are told and every thing will work out perfectly”

“But…” I tried to talk but she rudely interrupted me.

“You will get a change of clothes and that is final”

Well, i didn’t say anything again. Ir was not like I won’t be out of this place in a few minutes.

“Come, I will dress you up”

Ariel told me and led me back to the bed before grabbing a dress from the wardrobe.

****

By the time she was done, I looked at myself in the mirror and I was truly amazed.

The red dressed looked so exquisite on me, ranging from the slit that stopped at my thighs and the uncommon red rouge on my lips. I could kiss a white surface and the rouge prints will be left on it pretty hard. My hair was also curled up to my cheeks, making it short and lovely.

I looked more like a seductress and even if the look was everything, I was not comfortable with it.

“I don’t think I can go out in this look, ariel” I immediately told her, “this is not the way I dress and my people seeing me in this is going to speak lowly of me? I will rather I wear my usual clothes”

“This looks perfect on you, Charlotte” she said, “and moreover Adonis was the one who asked to dress you like”

“Like a baggage?”I rolled my eyes and i could see a confused look flashed across Ariel’s face.

“She means a p********e” Rose chipped in.

“Of course not, just come with me and you will understand what I mean okay?”

The two of them didn’t even let me say anything again and dragged me out of the room.

After a few minutes, we entered the hall and I froze right at the door, there he was seated amongst the lot of them.

“Father?” I allowed the name to roll out of my lips as he also stood up and I could see the look in his eyes. he must be really angry to see me like this but how come I didn’t see him? I saw all the infantrymen enter the building but why didn’t I see father? It felt like the whole ground should open up and swallow me.

“Come here” Adonis called from where he was sitting and I found myself walking towards him, my legs almost feeling numb.

The moment I got to where he was seated, he pulled me down and i landed on his thighs, immediately his hand cupped my throat. Right in the presence of my father.

He almost went mad with grim when Adonis snaked his hand around my waist, I was more like a sport to him now.

“This is the daughter you want to take back?” He asked my father with a mocking look on his face as his lips came in contact with my bare neck and he gently kissed it.

A kind of energy surged through my brains and my knees go weak, why is he doing this in the presence do all these people?

“ I have brought part of our deal, Adonis” my father finally spoke up, “why don’t you let her go?”

“Let her go?” He smirked, his hand slowly guiding towards the slit on my leg and my bare thighs, “why should I let her go when she comes in handy?”

“Father I……”

“Silence” Adonis immediately cut me short, “you only speak when I speak to you, Charlotte”

He was doing things to me that I was not supposed to like bur somewhere deep in my heart, I badly wanted him to continue but not in front of my father. I wanted him to do all of this to me behind close doors where I wouldn’t have to hide the fact that I was loving it.

“Please Adonis” my father suddenly went on his knees and this made me almost stand up from Adonis’s body but he held me firmly in place with his hand still wrapped around my neck,

“I have brought half of the things that you asked me to and I will bring the half by the weekend unfailing, her mother will neither eat nor drink. Let Charlotte go home with me, I beseech thee”

“First of all Mr Hawkins” this time his hand gently cupped my breast and I didn’t even know when a little groan escaped my lips, “I think you see badly your daughter craves my touch and she desires me, do you think she wants to leave?”

“Father…” I tried to talk but before I could even say anything, Adonis clamped his lips on mine which made my eyes to open wide as saucers. Even everyone in the room was surprised especially my father, he looked like he was about to go mad.

“Adonis…” my father’s voice trailed off as Adonis disengaged from me and stood up leaving me still seated on his chair.

“Mr Hawkins” this time he bent down in front of him, “I think you should take my the things and come back when you have everything complete. From the look of things, Charlotte loves it here. She loves it in my arms”

And with that, he walked back to me and grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room.

He didn’t let go of my hand until we were in his Chambers and this was when he left me standing by the door as he ventured into his room, I was dumbfounded and baffled.

“You can go back to your room” he said after a while, his back turned to me.

“What?” I was already upset, what gave him the right to think he can do this to me?

“I said you can go back to your room” Adonis hissed again, “don’t you get it?”

“You can not disrespect my father in that manner” i immediately flared up, “he has already brought what you asked him to bring and now you won’t let me go home?”

“Do you want to go home?” He quickly covered the distance between us and his scent filled my nostrils again, the scent that almost made me go mad with ecstasy.

“I just want to go back to where I belong” I answered almost inaudibly, he was making me feel something I didn’t know I had inside of me.

“Very well then, English lady” Adonis answered with a smirk as he yanked me closer and ripped the dress off of my body.
