Maven let me walk around the palace a bit, guards follow me but they are yards away. I see a portrait Maven didn't take down, it's of Cal. The words under it are brother. Shade... I feel my heart crack more. I can't bear the though of Shade. I turn my back on the painting and slowly fall to the floor. Broken sons muffle from me. My head in my knees. The guards must have reported my breakdown because Maven rushes into the hall. "Mare! Are you okay?!" Maven barks, kneeling down. I don't respond. "Mare, please." He pleads, now at my side. "Mare?" He asks. "Take it down," I whisper, looking up at the frame. He quirks an eyebrow, but takes it down. "I want to kill someone, Can i?" I ask, smiling. Maven looks appalled by my messed mascara and evil grib. "Who, Love?" He asks gently. "Ptolemus Samos," I grit. Maven knew it was coming. "I know what he did sweetheart, but he is an important person." He coos, making sure to hug me and comfort me. "He killed my brother, the one I only had for 4 months Maven." I whisper, tears flowing freely. "Battle to the death, I challenge him for my honor, for my brothers honor." I state, quickly getting up. I walk off before he can get me.
"Mare no!" Maven shouts, but I storm off. Sparks in my wake. I find Ptolemos quickly, he was just training. "Ptolemus Samos, I challenge in honor of my late brother. The one you killed." Those words sound like poison. He just looks shocked. "My Queen-" I stop him short. "To. The. Death." I state. "Queen Mare! Stop now!" Guards shout, I will not let them stop me. "I am no Queen yet. Maven and I are not married. I am a mere lady." I smile, staring them down. No one dares challenge me, only because I am engaged to their King. Ptolemus nods, "I accept." He frowns "time?" "Now."
I am now in a red tank top, and some black athletic leggings. Ptolemus on a silver and black training suit. "No metal?" I smile. "I need it to be even my Queen," he smiles and bows. I feel fury rising, my sparks become a darker purple. "I don't need it to be fair! I need your death." I bare teeth, lunging at him. I use my nails to cut deep in his back, I tear holes in his suit. He yelps in pain. I then grab his throat as he's caught off guard. "Time to pay." I whisper. "PTOLEMUS!" a shriek interrupts my lightning. Evangeline. "Queen Mare, please spare his life, please!" She shouts as I drop him to the floor. "Poor Evangeline, begging for mercy. How's it feel?" I growl. "Your brother took mine, I'll take yours," I smirk, rage and vengeance fill my voice. "Mare, don't do this. I know Tolly hurt you deep but I need my brother," her voice shakes. Maven stands behind her now. "Mare," Maven whispers. His eyes look like an abyss, but regret fills them. I turn from them to Ptolemus, grabbing his throat. I hear Evangeline sobs in the other corner. "If I didn't have feelings, you'd be dead. But I swear to god, you or your family cross me and your dead." I growl, throwing him to the floor. Metallic bleeds from his mouth and Evangeline runs to him.
"You can't kill people once your Queen," Maven growls. He is trying to be angry at me, but if I weren't the love of his life, he'd do the same as I. "You do every day my king." I calmly say. He stays silent.
I climb into the bed I share, and quickly get comfortable. Maven drapes his arm around my waist, and his other above his head. Light kisses coat the back of my head. "Mavey?" I ask, not meaning to use that nickname. It doesn't effect him though, he looks happy from it. "You know, I need an heir." Maven purrs. "Maven!" I jump out of his arms. "You know it needs to happen someday,"
"That never meant know!"
"Mare,"
"Maven, no." I sigh. I can't let a monster be my first.
"I'm sorry Mare," he lays on his back. Chest shown to all. He makes me blush, his gotten a lot of muscles.
"Maybe," I murmur just loud enough for him to hear. He gets up, and pulls me back into bed.I try to be family friendly, but this book series is young adult to I will be more adult in this series. I'm not going to be full on X rated, but I will warn when it gets kind of adult. This chapter was a bit adult, but not too much. Sorry if I disturbed anyone...
Xoxo, the author.
