Give it a try

Ava was stunned by the way his eyes flickered some emotions in them. It felt like a plea for her ears which she still couldn't grasp.

After coming here this was the first time she saw this wavering emotions in him. She was conflicted to give him any response but the way he kept looking her was melting her beliefs.

"Will you do that?" he asked breaking her thought as she blinked looking at him before avoiding his stare.

Dominic felt a sting of pain in his heart when he saw her retreating her gaze from him. He never thought that how wanting to be someone feel like, but now he felt the need to have her next to him. His heart yearn for her as if she would be the one who would calm his nerves and tame his beast.

"And why do you want me to accept this marriage?" she asked back gathering her courage to look into his green eyes.

Ava never wanted to come at this point where he would ask her to think about them, after all she didn't belong here. She was a human and he was a wolf, do they even exist to be together. No.. a werewolf can never have a human as his mate.

Dominic had no words to answer her, he knew she would be thinking that the are not even meant for each other. But what will he do with his heart that felt a pull towards her. He knew, he would not been able to answer her question, but could only make an effort to make her fall for him.

"Because... we're married and as my queen you need to stick to the king and the kingdoms affair" his eyes were back to emotionless.

Dominic face harden when he spoke those words to her. If he had to keep her with him, he had to come up with something that would make her stay. Whether it was politely or by forcefully.

"This position as your queen was given to me in exchange of innocent peoples life" her voice cracked when she recall every words of her father.

Dominic frowned when her heard her statement, Does she not know who her father actually is? he thought turning to her watching a tear roll down her cheeks.

Dominic's thoughts blew along with the wind he saw her cry silently looking at him. His heart felt the pain watching his mate crying in front of him. Without bothering where they were he strode to her and embrace her small frame in his strong arm.

Don't know why but he felt as if his heart was been stab and her tears were suffocating him to the point where he thought he would die.

"Shh.. little kitten don't cry" he just held her but didn't knew how to stop her tears.

All this unknown emotion were surging up suddenly and he didn't had a slightest idea how to handle it. He felt her body trembling under his shield as if she was suppressing her cry.

Don't know how long they stood up in each other embrace, but Dominic didn't have the heart to leave her unless he was sure that she had stopped crying.

Ava felt her tears stopped when she felt his hand caressing her back. Though the action was not perfect but still she was feeling comforted by him. She missed being with her father, her friends and wanted to go back to village following her normal life.

Pulling back from his hold, she moved back when she felt she was fine. Ava never felt the need to comfort herself as she thought her father would always be there but in this unknown place where she knew no one accept him and Agatha her heart long for solace.

"I think we need to head back, it's already dark now" she avoided him not having the face to look at him.

She didn't wanted to show him that his small act of kindness have comforted her heart.

"You're right.. I think we should head back to the palace

Sitting on Maximus, they strode back to the palace. All the way their ride no one uttered a single words. Both were silent, dealing with their own emotion not wanting to show up to one another.

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

"You know that girl is important for us. How can you tell me she is missing from her house" a loud voice echoed in the living hall.

"Your highness... as per your instruction we were keeping eye on the house, but we didn't find the father and the daughter duo"

"You all can't even do a single task. SCARM...." Arthur angry voice made his guards move back in fear.

The head of the vampire clan was burning in anger. He had lost his most trusted man in the hand of the werewolf king. It was like a shame on his pride for letting his guard down thinking that Dominic was dead, but how did he forgot the cunning man can even play a trick on them.

"Odrick.. I want you to search all the place in the village and find the girl for me. You know we can't loose her to our only enemies"

Odrick his another trusted man bowed down and left the place to follow his masters order.

"You have already survive my attack but this time I will make sure to kill you without backstabbing you"

Arthur walked the leaving hall leaving the other vampires in fear as they all stood there with their head low not even sparing a glance to look at their master.

*********

After coming back to her room, Agatha gave her the dinner making sure she ate it before leaving her alone to rest.

Her mind kept playing his words about thinking of their marriage. But.. how was she supposed to agree him when she knew the reason for her sadness is him.

Ava changed herself into a night gown and laid on the bed. Again like yesterday, she didn't see Dominic entering the room.

Even if her mind felt relief but her heart was acting the opposite. Turning to the side she kept looking outside the window remembering her time she spend with Dominic.

She still didn't understood how he knew she was getting bored in the room. But she brushed her thoughts not wanting to dwell on his handsome face.

"Handsome face! like seriously Ava. Did you forget he is the reason for your fathers problem" she muttered and again turn lying straight.

She kept looking at the ceiling above recalling his features that her eyes memorized earlier. Even if she tried to forget still his captivating green eyes flashed in her mind making her unable to resist his presence.

"Ava you know you should not think about him" she smacked her head trying to forget his smiling face but when his sad face came to her view her heart skip a bit.

She felt a pang in her chest as if it was paining watching his upset face.

"Why is he adamant to make me accept the marriage?" she thought.

The way he was talking to her showed his desperate plea as if he need her in his life no matter at what circumstances they had married. His face which was void to show any emotion was showing his deepest fear, but still she couldn't capture why he was scaring for??

Ava didn't realized when her eyes became heavy making her fall asleep. She had been sleeping for a while now when the door to her room slowly opened without making any sound. Dominic made sure not to disturb his wife's sleep or else she would forbid him to even enter the room.

Slowly walking to the bed, he took the other side and laid down facing her. Her blues eyes were close and her lips had a slight smile as if she was having some dream.

Resting his head on his palm he kept staring her sleeping figure, even if he tried to make sure to stay away from her still he couldn't ignore her presence. His heart had fluttered after a long time making him feel the presence of his mate in his entire existence.

Slowly lifting his hand, he trace his index finger on her pouty lips, trying to feel their softness. His body was dying to feel her but he knew she would never let him in.

"What should I do for you to accept me?" he whispered in her ears but didn't get any response.

Smiling at his foolish action he pulled back looking her sleeping face.

"You really have lost your mind Dominic" he shook his head in disbelief not believing he would do such stupid thing.

He was literally asking his sleeping mate to answer him. Moving close to her, he hide his face in the cook of her neck inhaling her calming scent. His addiction for her fragrance was increasing time by time

"What will happen to me if you decide to leave me?" he asked fanning his breathe as his lips touch her neck.
