Deja vu

"Ah_no. Not at all. That was not what I thought at all." I lied. But he knew I was.

"Avalon. I will tell the maids to get you prepared" he says, and goes into the bathroom.

Prepared?. I am still confused. Few minutes later, the miads are here. To get me prepared. For what I do not know yet.

"Why,what is happening?. I can take care of my self. I can bath myself" I protest. The maids halt, "Your highness, we are sorry but that was his highness's order" what to do?. So we really are going to consumate our marriage tonight?.

This is not good. Ushering me to the large bath tub, they begin to take off my dress and I am left no choice but to oblige. He is my husband afterall.

So it was just right for us to consuma our marriage tonight. What about the promise he made me?. He promised me he was ready whenever I was. Was he breaking his promise?. He is going to force me to do what I do not want to do.

***

When he had said, he was ready when she is ready. And that he will always be by her side. He meant it. He meant everything he has said. Even though he was aware that she was here to avenge him.

He didn't care, she was his mate.! And he was the cause this. No one can change it. He had being cursed from birth. Why he was born half Lycan, half wizard, was still a mystery to him. His mother could not speak of why he was born that way. No one could. Because the late king had ordered it.

His mother feared his father, everyone does. So she had kept most secrets about him, inside till her death. Ares, had wanted to kill his own father, because he shuned his mother from speaking the truth. And now she died for him. Because she was still scared of a dead man.

The only message she had left was that "You would soon find her". And she wanted him to get married to her. She had known, she knew something.

Hell! She knew alot. But was too scared to speak. That was how his father had made her. He made her believe that It was her fault for giving birth to a cursed child.

A hot tear slipped his green eyes. It has being a while since he cried. He must have missed her so much.

He knew his mother knows somethings about his curse, but she didn't speak. But he would never resent her. She was good to him, till the end.

His thoughts was caught off when the door flew open.

It was his bride.

"Why! You promise to wait. You said you would wait until I am ready!" Ares was confused at her outburst.

What had he done wrong?.

"What is it, my lady?" He inquires, tying the knot of his black robe as he gently takes in the situation.

"Did you forget your promise your highness?" Avalon asks, eye wide in surprise.

And that was when it hit him. She was speaking of their consumation.

He takes two steps to fill the space between then, then he smile. Taking her hands gently.

"I only wanted you freshen up. My lady I will never force you into what you don't want. And I will keep my promise. Do not bother yourself" he responds calmly.

The reason her heart skipped a bit, she did not know. And she did not want to find out either.

Ares pulls her into a warm embrace. Inhaling her scent. Ashter was suffering inside him. But it took all his being to be able to control him. Ashter just wanted to mate her. He was not patient.

They close the door, and she pulls away from his embrace.

"Are you not hungry, wife?" Wife, it was funny to be called that. He had not intend to call her that. It just rolled off his tongue. But it sounded well. He liked the feeling, though it was foreign. Yet it warms his heart. He now has a woman on his side. Even though she was going to kill him with her own two hands as she had promised Ashter.

The room was getting cold and she could feel her feet twitching. Was it his touch? Was she nervous?. Avalon did not know. She moves closer to him.

Shocking Ares, he lifts a brow in question.

"There is nothing better than a body heat." Avalon replies nervously.

As she buries her head on his chest.

"It is cold in here. I hope you aren't uncomfortable. We do not want to freeze to death" she mummurs. He could feel that she was shy. So he did not push forward.

She looks up at him and says, "good night" he was still staring in to those beautiful deep blue orbs. Until she pokes his chest gently. "I am sorry. I simply can not get my eyes off you. You are so beautiful wife"

Avalon felt her cheeks burning up.

He has said she was beautiful. And he had also told his brother's son too. That she was beautiful. The little boy had ran up to her today and told her in the wedding hall.

"So are you" it was not expected. Did she just call him beautiful?.

A devilish smirk appears on his lips and she suddenly feel the urge to touch those full red lips of his.

She wanted to feel them on hers_ no she should not be thinking of thinks like this.

She warned her self in her head.

And he heard. "If you keep thinking dirty things. I may loose myself" he said, his green eyes turned deeper as he stare straight into her eyes.

A feeling of deja Vu hit her. Those green eyes was exactly like that of the wolf she had met in the woods three days ago.

But then a lot of things had happened to her since she met this man.

Why was this man so full different of characters?.

Two days she had being here with him. She could not keep up with his different characters.

He would change from cold to hot from hot to sweet, and then becomes a promising husband. She can not keep up.

How then would she be able to pasr through these marriage?.
