Mystical

Chapter -16

To be loved is a desire of many until it becomes a nightmare
___________________________________________

Anya P.O.V

I wanted to experience love the rage which people around my age felt the butterflies which they talked about the way they gushed about there lovers the way they day dreamed and fantasized about them I wanted to all but I was too scared to go out there to find it in the fear of being heartbroken knowing I wouldn't be able to take it . I wanted to experience that so badly in my teenage years that it is pitiful now . It's amusing how one's dream can become there living nightmare . Sometimes living in this castles for the past two weeks I day dream about escaping ; finding that lobe everyone is so crazy about and seeing and living . For far too long I am just existing and not living . I wanted to achieve so much to find a place for myself in this dystopian world maybe buy a small house of my own one fine day fall in love but the very perception of my reality is shaken to its core . Days are fleeing against my eyes and I have become a prisoner of my thought . Its hard enough when the situation is unfavourable but it becomes unbearable to live when the mind starts projecting . I remember my neighbour they were a couple and use to fight a lot and that scarred me in ways I can't even speak of . I was always scared of ending up in a relationship where I had no control and living with Ivar is like that only . That man breathes power his voice demand attention . It can never be a equal relationship as the scale will always be tipped against in his favour for the world is his and I am just a mere human in it . While sleeping all day to not live in this reality sounds tempting I have started to become familiar with the castle and it's hallways . I know that I can't escape especially due to the mark but if I don't cling to that tiny hope then I will crumble and be at his mercy . It's amusing that I would have given everything few years back during the war to be this protected and cared for but it's exhausting to be treated like some fragile doll made of glass which could break at any time . Sighing I look towards the sunset if there is anything positive coming out of this then it's definitely the views . I have started eating properly and getting rest , the mark still burns but my soul burn deeper eveytime I have to submit to the crude king who can dull the pain . I feel guilty for this for playing house with the very kind responsible for annhilaiting many of mine but if I try to resist the pain makes me unconsicous and feel bone tired which I can't do the only weapon I have here is my mind and body and I can't let them shut down leaving me vulnerable literally among wolves a certain among them who looks to me as if he would devour me . Just then one of the guards came and I was escorted to the dining room for dinner . I wanted Ivar to enjoy this time while he can because the minute the mark heals I will flee from here far away where even my shadow will not come into contact with any supernatural it's wishful thinking at this point but I will fight tooth and nail . My submission is what him and his wolf craves the most and I be damned to eternity if I gave her that satisfaction . As long there is breathe in my lungs and blood in my heart I will not be his .

Ivar P.OV

I watched Anya eating quiety focusing on the food while I told her the news of the ceremony to be conducted for which both of us will fly to Isra a place near Novak where from centuries the werewolves and vampires coronation of the Kings and queens take place . It path is sacred to us and I know telling Anya the location will be of no good as she can't be able to see it . I can hear the wheels turn in the head ; the rebellion in her eyes which had dimmed for weeks returning with a fire which made me smirk there's that undying spirit which I will crumble little by little crushing Anya and will she will find herself alone I will be there to hold her , love her and make her mine . I will drill my very being in her mind body and soul . It is amusing to see the shine when I mention violet will also be coming there . It made me almost laugh when she over excitedly asked about the coronation and what it meant . I relished in the fear of her eyes as I told her the details her brown pupils wide with so many emotions in my them . Defiance stood on her tongue to decline when I asked will she be coming maybe she will get a chance to see violet ? It was a trick and she felt right in it nodding her head and composing herself trying to appear as nonchalant but the way her heart thumped in her chest ; her scent thickening made me know all that I wanted . I wanted her to feel as if she had a choice in it . Though I agree it would have been a hassle to drag her with me forcefully for our coronation. Man I am a bad man for feeling sad about her consenting because I really wanted her to say no in that way I would have made her sit in my arms . I miss holding her you can't blame me she fits so perfectly in my arms like the last peice of a puzzle . I watched intently at her as she squirmed around and left hurriedly finishing her food saying she needs to pack even though whole 2 weeks are left . Throne laughed in my head as he watched her run away and I chuckled making my best friend shake his head at me for he knew that after the coronation the whole world will know she is mine . Run away you can love for once when the wolf will catch you he won't let go . Eating from the same cutlery she used I twirl the pasta around my fork wishing to eat something else right now which was so tempting and I would have it and when I do I am going to take a big bite .

A/N:- The next update is here . It not a long chapter which I am aware of but don't be sad the coronation one will make it worth it . Consider this as a filler chapter as of now . Only two weeks is left for the coronation . Do you think Anya is losing hope ? How would have you reacted if you were in her situation . Honestly if it was me I would have definitely messed up by now patience is a virtue that I am still learning . Do let me know your thoughts on the chapter through the comment section . Next update will be on Saturday.  So , till the next time we meet stay safe stay happy  .
