The Soulmate Mark

C H A P T E R 25

Sadly this moment was cut short.Two guards walked into the room and grabbed Athena."What is happening?" Nolan walked into the room. "Well I am king now and you are my queen". He then saw Xander awake. "You were supposed to be dead.But that doesn't matter." "What do you mean you are king".Xander said sitting up. "I signed the papers". "What.You can't do that". His parents walked into the room.They were shocked to see their son alive. "Mum,dad what does he mean". "Xander we thought you were dead.We came to unplug you.Also we let him sign it since we want the transition to happen faster." "Guards take my queen to her room".They took her out of the room. "Don't touch her".Xander said. "Or else what.You are not king anymore or atleast soon to be king".He walked out the room.Charles walked into the room upset. "Your highness Nolan has requested me to tell you that you and your family are being moved to the third world.Sage will go with a relative but you three will be going immediately." They were all shocked.

Meanwhile Athena was taken to her room. "What is happening.Someone talk to me". Marie came in the room with a bunch of dresses. "Nolan's transition.He wanted everything to happen quickly.Now tonight is going to be yours and his engagement ball.He requested you to wear this blue dress". "What engagement". "Yours and his.He chose you to be his queen". "Is there anything I can do to stop all of this". "Sadly no". "If I can't I'm not letting him choose things for me."She walked up to the rack and picked out a red/burgundy dress. "You are supposed to wear this dress though.Even though you would look amazing in that dress." "Like I said he is not choosing things for me."She took the dress and got dressed.She went down.She was behind the curtains in front of the main stairs.She waited for what seemed like forever. "If he isn't here in the next few minutes then I am leaving." A few minutes later pass.She gets ready to leave to Nolan coming in the room with two boxes. "Sorry I am late.I had to get something".He then came up to Athena.He opened the first box to reveal a silver hair clip with a emerald gem. "Put this in her hair somehow". He said to the maids.The clipped it to one side of her hair.He opens the second box to reveal a matching ring. "Give me your left hand".She didn't give him her arm so he grabbed it and slid the ring on her. "Don't destroy any of this.This was my mother's." "If it is so important why do I have to wear it.Especially if I am just assessory." "Because you are important to me.Athena you do know I am doing this because I love you". "Nolan I never felt that way.Even when we were together". "Think about this.I can give you so much more than he can." "Like what.Power.That you didn't rightfully earn". "I was trying to be nice tonight.You are supposed to be my wife so that is the other reason I gave you those." "Listen Nolan I am sorry that I don't feel the same but all of this is wrong.Even if it is revenge."He wanted to reply but he and Athena got signaled to go down the stairs. "Try to look happy". "How could I".

They went down the stairs with fake smiles.When they got down the stairs Nolan kissed Athena's hand. "First off I want to thank you all for coming out to celebrate me and Athena but also a new era.None of you will be dissapointed with.Now for my dearest Athena here is a gift that goes with your other jewelry." He got handed another box.He opened it to reveal a matching necklace to the clip and ring.As he put it around her neck she felt strangeled in a way.Like this was her chains connecting her to him.After he was done everyone clapped and cheered.Everyone went to dance.A older couple went up to Athena and Nolan. "Your majesties".They said while bowing and curtsied. "You two make a wonderful couple.I bless you two with many wonderful years together." "Thank you".Nolan said. "You two would also make beautiful babies". "Ha yes thank you.Don't worry soon there will be one.That I can be assured of." Nolan said smiling.Athena was not at this point.The couple walked away. "What was that all about." "That nothing." "That is a big deal for me.You know I don't really want kids let alone now". "Yes I remember but this is my desicison." "No it isn't". "Enough of this let's dance." Athena wasn't budging so Nolan forcefully pulled Athena onto the dance floor.She was angry but she couldn't show it.Once the dance was over he tried pulling her into another one. "Don't touch me".She said clearly showing she was upset.Everyone looked at them. "Don't worry everyone she is just in a mood". "I'm going outside". "No you aren't". "Yes I am". "Fine you have until the clock strikes 12.Also don't damage the jewelry while you are outside".She nodded and headed outside.
