12 Chapter 12

I was truly amazed at what Aryan can do. Over three weeks of work and training, we came to the conclusion that she can do anything and we opened over 10 rooms. Her power was limitless. She of course had her boundaries when it comes to doing certain magic leaving somethings to certain races. Everyday we would spar with Maverick, which she totally kicked our asses at, then we would go open rooms. Every now and then we would go accompany Maverick to his work. It seems that some of the packs are getting very restless. The power to the south has been recruiting soldiers to oppose the capital and council. It was all making everyone restless. I was having problems bringing over the majority of my elite fighters in the first place but now its and even bigger priority. So training Aryan to fight even better was on the top of my list.

Today we decided to take a slow day. We were chilling in the tower. She wore a white pair of cut off jeans, a loser black transparent shirt, and a blue lace sorts bra. She had her hair up in a messy ponytail. As she laid on the table flipping through a book I kept stealing glances at her. She was simply beautiful. Out of nowhere she slams the book down and sits up. I stay looking down at my book to make it seem like I wasn't watching her.

"Back on the day that you told me about our engagement, you told me I had rules and if I broke them you would punish me. I broke some so why haven't you punished me yet?" she asked tilting her head to the side like she does whenever she is confused.

The question caught me off guard but it didn't stop me from smoothly replying, "And how do you think that I am going to punish you?"

All her reply was a pointed look telling me that I know what way she was thinking. Chuckling, I set the book down then walked over to her. I stood a foot away before I spoke.

"I prefer to watch as you are brought to the brink of insanity and then beg me to give you what you wish but not till after I let you sit on the edge for a few days or until you grow the balls and take it." I said in a low voice as I played with a strand of her hair.

"What do you mean?" she asked breathless.

I leaned in and whispered in get ear, "Like coming in for a kiss but stopping a breath away, grazing my finger tips against your skin, using your own mind against you. The only way I will do what your pretty little mind was thinking is when you fully give yourself to me. I will use your desire to drive you wild. I will use your curiosity to keep you coming back for more. Don't get me wrong I would love nothing more than to spank you and tie you up as I fuck you so hard that you are screaming my name."

By the end of that she was breathing hard and was flushed. She had her eyes closed and head tilted back. I took a few steps a way and then walked out of the room. I needed a drink if I wanted to keep that up. As I reached for a bottle of scotch, she appeared next to me.

"Why haven't you done any of that to me yet?" she asked.

"Because before I seduce your body I want to seduce your mind. I have yet to figure you out completely."

"Well what do you know about me now?" she questioned with a fire burning in her eyes letting me know that she was up to something.

Right as I was about to answer, the door burst open and Maverick, followed by Kacy, rushed in. Immediately spotting us, he ran over with a note in his hands addressed to me and Aryan. I flipped it over to see a seal of the leader of the southern rebellion. Breaking the seal, I read the note.

In the note he expressed his sincerest apologies as he explained that he has lost control of one of his generals that was coming for Aryan. The leader explained that the general held a grudge against the council because they killed his wife. So in return he was out for the blood of the Councilman's daughter and future queen. He estimated that he has a mass of around 1000 troops and are marching towards Convera a small village roughly and hours flight south of Maryner where the Council building was located. He said that he did not know of the plan and that he did not want to be associated with the plot against Aryan. He explained that the rebellion was simply a group of people who came together to express their problems with the government and to hopefully take them to the capital when it is moved but thanks to rouge members they tarnished their name.

Setting the note down I spoke up, "A rouge group and general of the southern rebellion is plotting to take Aryan's life. They are predicted to be headed towards a small village roughly and hours flight south of Maryner. Maverick send out scouts to scope put the village and report back when the army arrives."

"Yes sir." Maverick replied as he picked up his phone.

I turned to Aryan and pulled her with me as a I marched through the house. I ignored her questions as I pulled her along. I stopped outside of my bedroom door and finally turned to her and listened.

"What is going on? If someone is plotting for my life I want to know the details. Where are we anyways? I have never been able to get in the room much less see in it." she rambled looking at the door.

I opened the door and heard her take in a breath of air quickly. I pulled her inside as I explained what is going to happen.

"You are going to stay here in my room with Kacy until I get back and I know its safe. No one can get in here unless I say so. I'm going to go kill a general because no one threatens the life of my loved ones, let alone yours." I said as calmly as I could muster.

"I'm coming with you. You are not going to stop me." she said with finality.

"No." I replied.

"If I cannot kill someone who is after my life then what kind of queen will I be. Hell I'm the boltori. I can protect myself. So I'm coming with and if you try to stop me then I will hate you for the rest of my life." she announced, "Are we clear or do I have to tie you up and make you stay here instead?"

I didn't reply as she stormed out if the room. Truthfully I didn't know what to say. She was right after all. I'm tempted to see if she will actually tie me up just to go. Although the thought was tempting, I couldn't let her go alone. Someone had to make sure she didn't hurt herself. I chuckled as I left my room because I knew it was going to be a long week with a very blood thirsty or I guess I could call it battle happy woman. I learned that she does love to fight. It drives her crazy whenever we do non contact fighting.
