Cheers to the end times

chapter 36

His POV

Her idea of marriage was a scaring me to bits. She said things that burned me and buried me altogether. Even her eyes complained of my existence and I couldn't agree more while sitting at my throne. I heard all the complains, ideas and matters since this morning but still couldn't move flan inch from here.

".... We all have found something terrible for the past one week here and there my king..." One of my main men voiced,his eyes widened that somehow remain cold all this time.

*What did you find"?? I asked and put my ears to him, my eyes pushing him to continue.

" There are signs of the dead monsters my King.." he whispered looking scared.
Whispers emerged from every corner of the hall, even the deaf heard him.and the quiet ones cried out upon hearing him.it was a havoc.
I myself couldn't believe it, they were meant to die and how could they possibly be alive.

"Are you sure??" I confirmed and he nodded in the end.

_why not tell me before?" I raised from my seat and walked towards him with all the anger I felt towards him.
"You got married recently... " He reasoned but I cut him off
Married... Yes I did but that didn't mean I would of ore my responsibility as a king.

" Where exactly did you see them?" I cut him and glared at him.
"Forest.." he said in one breath.

"Alright .. My brothers!!" I turned to look at the other soldiers, not wanting to kill the man just because of his foolishness.

"We ride at dawn !! And make sure Our mates and children are safe.." I growled and nodded at them.
I should have payed more attention. I am a king not only just a mate to his woman.

".... You are meant to attend your bride my lord..." An elder said from the crowd. And I knew he was right but who will tell him that to see her, I would have to fight my self-respect, and with the pace she was going I knew I couldn't afford to face her just yet or else I will say or do something that I shouldn't.

" Your queen is a strong woman. I am sure she can spend a night or two without me"
I said with a tight smile that delivered the asurity to the old man.

At the chambers.

Aina's POV.

I was reading a book to relax myself of the previous night, when some loud noises of things cluttering and crashing came out of the hall way.

"What in the world... Ugh- Oh MY GOD!" as I peered through to find little niece of mine crawling towards me with her hands holding a steel jug or something.

"Well hello Pretty fairy!!" I cooed at her and immediately picked her up.

"I swear like the way you always escape your room, it seems your nannies need to be changed or you are just a smart baby that they can't keep up with you"
I laughed at her smiling faces that drooled on my dress.

"Come on let's have fun, your daddy isn't here" I hugged her and brought her on the bed.

Yes, daddy, one thing you should know about my dear husband is that he had made it clear at the start of all this that this little munchkin will be his daughter and that he had adopted her. And to be honest i didn't mind his decision.

"Infact I love being your mama!" I cooed at her and kissed her rosy cheeks.
" You are a. Beautiful girl my love, your mother would have been an angel" I smiled at her brokenly, my heart tearing apart for the little girl who didn't even know her parents died.

"SHE WAS.." came his voice.
What's wrong with him appearing out of nowhere.
I immediately spun my head to look at him.
He stood there, with his arms crossed and dressed in something like a battle combat dress.
What's happening?

I looked at him expectantly as he moved and sat beside us.
He looked at the baby for sometime and smiled at her so tenderly that for a second I imagined if this was the way he will treat our child as well.

But as the thought came, I dropped it.
Where were all this thoughts coming from.
Bond yes.. the bond! It was doing this not me..

"How are you?" He raised his golden eyes that I hated but admired with such concern that for once I forgot how merciless he had been towards me last night.

"Ughh ahmmm... I am fine.. it still hurts but I will be fine" I looked everywhere but at him, ignoring his intense eyes.

"I am sorry..."

"You were here for??" I cut him off immediately, not wanting to start that discussion yet again.
He looked at me with pain and then sighed and stood up.
He walked towards the dimly lit balcony and began looking at the night sky.
It was a pretty view from there but his eyes were focused on somewhere else or may be something.

"I am going on a mission" he said,his back still turned towards.
Those words would have made me dance in victory if had said them before our marriage or before we had spent a night together.
But now they pierced me with an unknown sharpness that even I couldn't find the reason of.

He turned and walked back to my seated figure on the bed and sat on the floor.

Little eve was cackling and. Playing with my scarf, not knowing her daddy was gonna be leaving us for sometime.

"I know you hate me.. I know I have captured you and stole your dignity but believe me if I had any other way of protecting you and myself I would have done that" he said with all the emotions that I had never seen in him before.

" And I am doing this for us, for Eve and for our pack.... They.. the Monsters are here.." he broke the news so slowly that it took me a minute to really register what he said.

"But!! How?? They were dead?? killed!! How are they back??" I bombarded him with my question but he just sat there staring at the floor.

"We found tracks, blood and their signs.. same ones we found years ago.." he clarified and held my hand tightly as if he had something bigger to tell me.

"We can fight them right?? I mean you are the strongest being alive.. you.you can save us..." I tried but he smiled and nodded.

" I can and I will but.. we have found something else too, it's a guess but ... "
He rubbed my hands together and not for once I stopped him. I needed his support right now.
Call me selfish, I don't care.

"You are scaring me!" I looked at home with fear.

" There are signs that they may be werewolves mutants....." He finished with a heavy sigh.

"Oh.. mY....GOD" My brain stopped working And I couldn't make a proper sentence. I started shivering and he tried to hold me but failed.

" They are monsters!!! I have seen one! They don't stop, they CANT BE STOPPED!!!" I screamed at him and started pacing around the around the room while he stood on the corner staring at me.

"Don't worry I will handle it." He tried to calm me but how could I and how was he so calm.

"NO! I NEARLY DIED WHILE FIGHTING One!, I WAS LUCKY AND I AM NOT SURE IF YOU WILL BE LUCKY ENOUGH!!!" I shouted and angrily looked at him.
I screamed so loudly that even little eve got startled and started crying.
My eyes widened with guilt and rushed to hold her up.

"Shush babe! Mama's Sorry hush plz!' I rocked her till she stopped crying and tightly hugged her.

While not realizing that he had heard the name I had addressed myself with.
And to my embarrassment, I caught him smiling at it.
"Mama" he questioned with a smirk.

"Yes. Any problem?" I rolled my eyes and concentrated on my little baby.
