Chapter 6

POV Elisa

I have have a splitting headache and my body is seriously aching. I slowly open my eyes, and I see Vatler's bright smile.

Wait! Vatler ?

I immediately spring up from my bed, ignoring all the pains I initially felt.

" What am I doing here, get me out of here ", I scream.

He doesn't seem the least fazed by my reaction.

" My Lady, you need to rest. His Highness would be with you shortly ", he says still wearing a smile that starts to creep me out.

No ! His Highness ? Wait, where's Kristan.

" Kristan . . . What did you do to him ".

" No need to worry for your friend, he's fine and safe. For now at least" .

" For . . . Now ? . I need to see him, I'm the reason he's in this mess . . . "

Niklaus enters and shivers run down my spine.

" Hello, Wife " , he says with a smirk as he approaches me.

" Please, I beg you to let me go . . . Let us go "

" Who's he . . . Tell me ! ", he says with rage evident in his already cold eyes.

" He's just a friend, he saved my life " , I say and I see the smirk slowly appear on his face.

" Why don't we go see this friend of yours"

He drags me by the hand as I strive to follow him up as Vatler follows behind us, not saying a single word.

He's probably as heartless as Niklaus.

It take say few minutes til we arrive at a - Dungeon ?

Why the hell would he put him in a dungeon. I feel tears well up in my eyes after I see his condition. I'm well aware that we barely knew each other but he saved my life and welcomed me into his home and for that I am grateful.

" Ali . . . Elisa . . . You ", he stays silent when he meets Niklaus' eyes. I look him in the eye and notice he's trying he's best to conceal his anger.

Niklaus leaves and I silently thank the heavens.

" What the hell, Elisa. You didn't find it necessary to tell me you were betrothed to the Alpha ! ", he finally speaks up, the anger evident in his eyes.

" I'm so sorry, I didn't know how to tell you ", I say as the tears flow down my cheeks.

And Darn ! They won't stop.

" How could you not tell me, now I'm as good as dead. Do you know what he has done ?"

" I know and I'm so sorry ", I didn't know what else to do or say except to apologize.

" Well I'm sorry for my . . . . " , he gazes up behind me and freezes.

" Brother ? ", he suddenly mutters. I look up at who he's referring to - probably another prisoner, I guess. I am shocked as I see who see speaks to . . . .

Vatler ? - " Bloody Hell " is all that can come to mind. How didn't I notice, same last name and they both have bright alluring eyes.

Vatler seems unfazed as he's expression remains calm.

" Brother, I'm so glad to see you . Get me out of here so we could leave this hell of a place. Away from all the lies and deceit ", the excitement evident in his tone as he calls on his long lost brother to come to his aid.

I understood he was referring to me but I couldn't care less. Vatler is his brother ?.

Vatler continues to stare at him, he's expression still unchanged. He finally opens his mouth to say something.

I and Kristan's eyes widen in shock upon hearing his words.
