Roles Reversed

Chapter 9

Ariella's POV

I stared up at him not knowing what to say. I felt my heart warm for the first time in a long time.

"You don't mean that." I say in a voice lower than a whisper.

"I'm a monster for crying out loud." I say in voice a little higher.

"There's not suppose to be someone in this world who cares about me." I say starting to hyper ventilate.

"Fate has proved to me that I'm not worth caring about by taking away everyone I love." I scream while feeling a panic attack coming on.

All of a sudden my mate crashes me into a hug. And I let myself relax at his touch.

"I can't..." I say in a weak voice.

"Shhh" he coos into my ear.

"Why do you continue to care for me... I'm a monster." I whisper into his chest,

"Youre not a monster, this world just broke you down to pieces, but I'll put them back together ."he says into the top of my head.

I push away from him and grab onto his neck. "You should be afraid of me." I say in the deadliest voice I can muster.

I look into his eyes and I don't see a hint of fear in them. I involuntarily loosen my grip around his neck. He crashes me into another bone crushing hug.

"I'm not." He simply states.

My mind is screaming at me and I don't fully notice until now.

"T-this can't happen." I say in a weak voice. I turn around and sprint to my room. And as soon as I'm about to slam the door his foot lodged in between the doorway and he pushes is open and slams the door behind him.

He slams be against the wall.

I stare at the floor refusing to meet his gaze.

"Look at me."  He states calmly.

"Why can't you just leave me alone."  I whisper yell. "I don't want you." I scream.

"You can re build re walls surrounding yourself however many times you want, just know I'll be there to break them down everytime until your too tired to build again."

I can feel him pouring all of his feeling into the mate bond and they're genuine. The mate bond is doing everything in its power to open my heart. And I just want to give in but I can't.

I can't go through the pain of losing someone I care about again.

He pushes on the mate bond trying to make me break.

I slide on to the floor.

"No, no, no, no ,no." I mutter under my breath and curl into a ball.

"NO." I growl so loud the castle shake.

I feel him hugging me again. He's over whelming me. My wolf starts pulling at the bond and I feel even more helpless I can't fight this much longer. Not with my wolf helping him.

"My queen," he whispers in my ear. "Let me in."

All of a sudden gasp, it feels like the heart that I believed was gone was shoved back into my chest. All the feeling I locked away suddenly exploded. I felt are bond finally connect. He could feel everything I was feeling...  I could feel his.

Admiration and love.

I was scared. Having feelings only caused me pain but now their back. All of a sudden the world starts to fade from the sudden surge of emotions.

"Why..." I whisper.

"Sleep my queen."

The world goes black.

Lucians POV
When my Ari passed out I carefully set her on the bed. I felt so bad for my mate. My wolf and I managed to break through the walls around her heart. I felt her emotions and she was terrified. Terrified to love again.

She thinks something is going to take me away from her but I a promise to myself that I'll always be by her so she never has to be alone again and to do that I must become strong.

3 months later

It's been 3 months since Ari passed out. Her body recovering from the sudden lack of dark magic that used to fill her.

In that time I have trained not stop to be powerful enough no one would be able to take my away from my queen.

In the period of time my body went through drastic changes. I got taller and I'm not as lanky as I used to be. I have muscle now with a hard eight pack.

My wolf got more powerful too. I'm pretty over powered now. I guess my wolf wasn't lying when he said we were born to be kings.

I might be even more powerful than my queen now and I smirk at the thought.

I'm sitting right beside her. My wolf and I missed her terribly we wanted to see her eyes and hear her voice.

Then like my prayers were answered I see her finger twitch. Than her eyebrows furrow.
I jump up and hover over her.

And then I see them. Two beautiful golden orbs staring up at me. She blinks and then looks confused than angry.

All of sudden I'm flipped over and slammed on the bed with her straddling me.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my room." She growls.

I smirk the old Ari would have went straight for the kill.

I flip us over and hold her arms above her head with one hand.

"Don't you recognize your own mate."

Her eyes widen. "Lucian." She whispers in shock.

"The one and only." I state

"But why do you look so."

I cut her off. "So different, I've been working out, 3 months is a lot of time."

She suddenly shoots up and pushes me aside like I was nothing.

So much for being stronger than her I think.

"3 month!." She yells.

"Who's been running the country, what about attacks." She panics.

She continues to ramble Incoherently.

I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist letting the sparks run through her body.

She shuts up and shivers. "Everything has been taken care of by your advisors." I tell her.

She lets out a sign of relief.

I kiss her neck "everything is fine" I tell her further relaxing her.
