CHAPTER FOUR: FEAR

I stayed carried in Kethan's arms, ice-blocked, I was shivering at the sight of blood.

Kethan carried me in one arm and fought with the other hand, moving in an inhumane way, causing my head to spin.

My body and Kethan's face were covered in thick blood, his eyes were bloodshot, slaughtering the enemies heartlessly.

Brutality whispered his name as thousands of men lay dead on the war ground.

"What's this speed?" I thought to myself, he was neither walking nor running, he was speeding mysteriously, an impossible way.

Like a super-fast creature and as soon as an enemy rushes towards him, they get killed, and not even a strand of my hair is affected.

With all the proof I gathered, I was positive my husband wasn't human.

"So what is he?" Kept pounding Inside my head.

Soon, the war was over, it turned out to be nothing like I expected. I expected to be standing in the middle of the war like Cinderella and Kethan protecting me like my knight, but everything just changed in a wink.

As soon as he set me down on my feet, he asked.

"Are you alright?" 

"All right," I repeated, still trembling.

Promptly, I rushed over to a Conner to throw up, and Kethan came after me.

Unable to stop myself, with every step he took to get closer to me, I stepped back in fear.

Kethan froze on the spot, turned around, and left. But I stood there shivering, too afraid to trail behind him this time.

"Get ready, we are leaving for the neighboring Kingdom," Kethan announced.

Caspian came forward to help me on Kethan's horse and I hurriedly refused.

"I will ride my horse," I blurted out, my heart pounding inside my chest.

"You can ride a horse," he asked, bewildered. 

"Yes," I replied, snatching his horse.

We got to the Kingdom late at night, all my bones ached from the ride, it was a lonely and quiet journey so I quickly stepped down and ran into the room for a shower.

Once in the shower, I scrubbed off the blood on my body harshly until I felt a hot sensation on my skin.

Flashes of Kethan's new self in the war tormented my head and I slammed my eyes shut in fear.

When I was out of the shower, I came face to face with Kethan. He started walking towards me, and I walked back hastily in terror until I reached the wall.

He stood there staring deep into my soul that I couldn't help but shut my eyes and once I opened them, Kethan vanished.

Quickly, I rushed out of the room In search of Kethan.

I searched the whole kingdom and asked all the guards and his men, but everyone assured me they hadn't seen him ever since we returned from war.

Once sure he was not in the kingdom, I walked into the woods to search for him.

I walked deeper and deeper into the woods but couldn't find Kethan.

"Kethan, I wasn't scared of you, there was so much blood on me at that time. I wasn't thinking straight," I whispered, knowing well enough that he could hear me.

Hearing a growl, I turned back in haste, and what I saw made me almost pee my pants, my life flashed before my eyes.

Every muscle in my body screamed at me to flee but I remained frozen.

My breath quickened and I used every muscle in my body to stifle a whimper.

Once in danger, the only name that crossed my mind was…

"Kethan."

An inch away from me, I thought I would be eaten alive when I heard a sound.

The neck of the animal was snapped as it lay there lifeless, and Kethan stood there, watching me.

I ran towards him in a hurry, before he vanished again.

"Kethan, I wasn't scared of you, deep down I know you aren't a monster. It was reflexes from all those dead men that laid lifeless on the ground and the blood on me," I confessed, still processing.

Holding him tightly, we both vanished into our room.

"How did you do that?" I yelled out.

"I don't know," he bluntly replied, then walked into the shower.

I puffed out a sigh of relief, "since I didn't die today, I won't die," I muttered, consoling myself.

A maid came with something to eat, I set the tray down awaiting Kethan.

When he was done with his shower, he sat down beside me.

"Why didn't you start eating?" He asked.

"I missed your voice," I replied, gawking at him.

"Oh, I was waiting for you," I added.

"Why?" He coldly asked.

"I was planning on feeding you," I blurted out.

"Agatha," he warned.

"Say hi," I replied, insisting.

Shoving the food in his mouth, I also took a bite, until we were done eating.

Once we were done eating, I looked up at Kethan and noticed he was ogling at me with a strange look.

He looked at me like he was going to devour me.

Scared, I quickly attempted to change the subject.

"It's time to sleep," I murmured.

But it was mostly like I wasn't talking to him, he didn't even glitch and just stared at me.

"Kethan, when you look at me like that I feel like a peanut," I whispered and again there was no effect.

Before I could say any more words, Kethan pulled me closer and the next feeling I got was his lips on mine.

I widened my eyes in shock, he calmly raised me and placed me slowly beneath him, his hand holding me firm with excessive strength still ogling at me.

"I'm… scared," I whispered, trembling.

"Relax, I will go slow," he muttered, tangling his lips with mine.

I moaned softly as Kethan played tricks with my restricted areas, his hands worked magic and I just couldn't push that tangling sensation away.

It felt so weird yet so good that I wanted to go on and on for him.

He swiftly unbuckled my bra within seconds, my bare chest was naked under the gaze of his piercing emerald eyes.

His hands made their way around my bare body and squeezed my boobs softly.

A loud moan escaped my lips,

"Say it!" he said, more like commanded.

My breath was hitched up and I bit my lowered lips to stop me from screaming his first name to give him that satisfaction that he is yearning for.

Kethan eyes narrowed, he leaned on me, and trailed his fingers down my spine, sending shivers prickling across my skin.

I felt my heart rise and my nipples hardened,

He took off his shirt, revealing his well-defined abs and full chest.

I hooked my fingers behind his neck, pulling him in.

His fingers pressed my soaked pants against my clit and then swirled a bit before ripping my pants off.

He lifted my legs slowly, my ankles locked around his waist and my fingers still hooked around his neck.

His heavy body pressed me into the mattress, and he smothered me with his size and smell.

I laid on my back with my legs up, Kethan groaned in a desperate voice that gave me chills and then he buried his head between my thighs.

His tongue searched for my clit and he began licking and sucking.

"Kethan…" I moaned.

I rolled my eyes, my vision blurry.

One of my hands pulled at his hair while the other squeezed the sheets.

"Argggggggggg!"

I groaned as I felt his warm tongue push gently into my entrance.

My toes curled up, my back arched and my fingers dug deeper into his hair.

He positioned himself well and then lifted me a little, rested his weight on one arm, brushed my face with the other arm, and slid in slowly.

My palms pressed against his chest, and I took in a deep bracing breath.

"I'm going in," he whispered.

I nodded my head in acceptance and then he paused as he plunged his entire length on me, my juice surrounding him and soaking him in.

He moved slowly for a few seconds, then increased the pace little by little with every thrust until he reached a steady, pounding rhythm.

***************************************************

Again, I woke up in Kethan's arms, as I struggled to be set down.

"Good morning," he murmured and placed a kiss on my lips.

"That's a first," I replied shocked.

I quickly rushed towards Caspian; I was in a bright mood that morning.

"Good morning, lady Agatha," they all said in unison.

"Good morning, everyone," I replied, dragging Caspian to a corner.

"is very all right my lady?" he asked and smiled.

"That's why I dragged you here, is there anything I should be worried about," I blurted out.

"Worried about? How do you mean ma'am," he asked curiously.

"The kingdom, they treat Kethan wrongly. But is there something else I don't know that would get me worried," I replied with open eyes.

"My lady, you have nothing to worry about while the king is still alive," he replied.

"What do you mean?" I blurted out.

"Once the king dies, The three sons will set to fight a battle of who becomes king. the winner among the three of them will be crowned king, and those that lost will be slaughtered."
