"Narci baby, you know I raised you better than that! Why in the hell have you been putting your hands on her?" Angelic questioned Narcissus.

Narcissus internally rolled his eyes as he sighed. Looking out toward the scene of his country, "Mother, you don't understand, she-"

"You're right Narcissus, I don't understand a couple of things. Like for instance, why the hell aren't you looking at me when I'm talking to you?! You better get your act together and right now!"

Narcissus groaned as he turned to face his mother.

"Much better, son," she smiled. "Please, continue."

"Mother, you and father always told me that if someone won't fall in line, you make them fall in line or they die_"

"Yes we did teach you and your sister that," she nodded in agreement.

"_but mother, she won't listen to me! Every time I attempted to be pleasant to her, she would be disobedient and never did what I asked."

"Sweetheart, I seriously doubt that you've asked her anything."

"But mother, I did ask-"

"Don't start lying to me now, Narci. I know you better than that_" His head sunk.

"_now, like I was saying, you need to be gentle with her. She won't love you if all you're doing is beating her."

"No, but it helps speed up the process," he retorted.

She shook her head full of curls, "So tell me son, has It worked yet? Have you made any progress with this process?"

His silence answered her question. She folded her arms and smirked, "I can tell you really like her. A mother always knows. But tell me son, tell me why is it you like her so?"

He shrugged, "There's something about her. I can't exactly put my finger on it."

"Is it only because you know she's fancied by the Beta and Alpha?"

"No mother--in fact that made the decision even easier to kill her in the beginning. Curiosity was my downfall with her. I wanted to see why both mighty men longed for her affection. I disguised myself as Dominic with Evelyn's help and decided to meet her and then-and then I saw why. When she kissed me--I too longed for her affection. It was an unforgettable moment-"

He paused, "She's the one I want, mother. She's the one."

Placing a hand on his shoulder, "I agree son, I agree."

*~*~*~*~*

Narcissus thought about the conversation between his mother and himself. He hated to admit but his mother was right. Hazel has a different spirit than any mortal he has ever come across and he knew beating her into submission wasn't going to be enough, he had to do more than that.

He had a genuine liking and attraction to Hazel. It was unexpected but he welcomed it. No he couldn't just stop being aggressive with her overnight. Being aggressive was in his nature and he didn't care to entertain the idea of letting his aggressive side go. He did agree to try and suppress it as much as he could.

He paced back and forth in his room. He thought more and more about her. Her beautiful face that occupied a frown most days. She was still stunning. She deserved to be his wife. She was the one that needed to occupy this room with him.
