Chapter 23

No One’s POV

“We are close, sweetheart!. When I brought you last time, you were unconscious.”, Zayden announced. Grace didn’t say anything. After ten minutes, the car came to a halt. “Now, sweetheart, before I open the door for you, let me clear you a few things. First, don’t dare to think of running away because everyone around you is werewolves and they will catch you easily. Let’s stop talking about others, I myself will chase around. Second, you are near the forest so you have to get habitual about hearing the howl of the wolves as that is one of our ways to communicate. Okay!”, He asked.

“Yes.”, She answered. Zayden dipped his head again and pecked her cheek, to which she closed her eyes in disgust. What more could she do? After a while, he opened the door for her.

“Come, sweetheart!”, He said and asked for her hand. Grace glared at him and came out, without taking his hand. But, Zayden still took her hand and guided her toward the villa.

“This is our temporary home, sweetheart. Generally, we live in a pack. Do you like it?”, Zayden asked on which Grace looked at the villa and gasped. Last time, she didn’t bother to check around because she was in a hurry to reach home as soon as possible. It was the biggest house she has ever seen in her life. When they came near the door, Grace observed that the villa was surrounded by a lot of guards and was secured by PIN security. Zayden quickly tapped the PIN and the door slid open. Grace was amazed by the technology.

Zayden noticed her amazing look and elaborated.

“PIN number is required for entering as well as exiting the house.”, He said. “No supernatural creature can enter inside or go outside without the door being open for them. Don’t worry, I will share the PIN when you gain my trust.”, He added and smiled. “I can smell that you wanted to run away from here at the very first moment, you will get that chance.”

Grace’s eyes widened in shock when she heard this but didn’t say anything. She knew she could escape from this HELL that easily when the devil was so powerful and smart.

They entered the villa and Grace literally drooled over the interior. It was damn so beautiful. She could only have dreamt of living in such a fancy house. But, suddenly her smile crashed, as she recalled today’s event.

‘How can I enjoy such riches when my parents are not happy! I hate myself and more than that. I hate him.’, She thought.

“Let’s just freshen up and we will rest for a while before dinner. Okay?”, He said and took her up the stairs and started elaborating about the rooms that came in view. “Keep this in mind that the second floor of this villa is my area and you are not allowed to go there. By the way, this is your room. You can do anything you want during day time. I will ask someone to arrange your luggage here.”, He added.

A smile appeared on Grace’s face when she heard that, she couldn’t help but want to jump out of happiness knowing they would be living separately. But that smile didn’t last long, as he continued walking. She looked at him in confusion, and she wondered where he was taking her.

“And….this is our room.”, Saying this, he pulled her inside. This was the same room where Zayden had kept her when she fell unconscious. Zayden grabbed a t-shirt and trousers from the bedpost and gave them to her. He had already planned for everything, and her clothes were a part of it. She took them and started to go toward the washroom. “I am going to order pizza for us so that we can have it before resting for a while.”, He added to which Grace again didn’t say anything and walked inside the washroom.

After doing her business, Grace decided to take a bath. There was a bathtub but she was scared to bathe in it. What if she died in it while having a bath? So she preferred using a shower instead. She quickly removed her wedding dress and folded it properly. She kept it over the slab making sure it wasn’t wet after all this wedding dress belonged to her mother.

She then stepped under the shower and realized how big it was. She searched for something to switch on in the shower but couldn’t replace anything. After a while, her eyes fell on the three-round button-type system. She read what was written over it and finally understood how to use it. The leftmost button was the temperature setter. The central one was the switched on and off one, while the last one was for the speed. She didn’t understand why the speed option was given! She ignored it and switched on the shower. She set the water to moderate temperature and bathed herself. She opened her hair which was pulled up in a tight bun. She searched for the shampoo and shower gel and found everything. She shampooed quickly and washed her hair. All the time she was thinking about what all happened today. She couldn’t help but cry.

‘I am married to a monster and a criminal. How am I going to survive this? It’s better to die than to live with him. God! If you are there and you are listening to me then please fulfill my wish.’, She wished for herself. ‘Only god knows why he married me. Surely he was not truly in love with me. Then why? But if he thinks he has won this game then he is wrong. I will never accept this marriage. NEVER. And I will not submit to him. I don’t care whether he kills me or not. But I will not submit to him. NEVER.’, She decided.

Suddenly she heard Zayden’s voice calling her.

“Grace, come out! Are you going to spend all your life in the washroom? Plus, pizza is already here. Come quickly.”, He said.

Grace stopped the shower and quickly dressed up in the clothes he gave her and washed her face. When she was satisfied that she didn’t look pathetic, she came out. Zayden had already smelt her emotions but he thought to give her some time to adjust.

Grace saw him sitting on the edge of the bed with a packet. He himself had changed his clothes. He was wearing loose trousers and a fitting t-shirt. He gestured to her to sit beside him on the bed.

“Come. You will love the pizza afterall I have ordered your favorite pizza.”, He said.

‘As if I will eat with you. No way in hell, you monster.’, She thought.

“I,,,,I am not hungry.”, Grace replied to which Zauden sighed and rubbed his temple.

“Sweetheart, I don;t want to argue with you on these stupid things. So better you come here and eat with me.”, He said in a stern tone.

“So, are you going to force me to eat too?”, She snapped. Zayden raised his brow at her sudden outburst.

“Yes! I will force you because it concerns your health. So, either eat it willingly or else I will make you eat. Choice is all yours.”, He faked a threat that frustrated her.

“Fine! Let me see how you can force me to eat!”, She challenged him, crossing her hands over her chest.

“Alright then! Don’t blame me for the things that is going to happen.”, Saying this, he took out his mobile and dialed someone’s number.

“Zayden here. Kill her family.”, Zayden ordered. Grace’s eyes widened in shock and fear when she heard his words.

‘No! I can’t let anything happen to my family!’ With this thought, in an instant, she reached his side and pleaded with him. “I am sorry. I..I will eat, promise But p.please…”

“Great.”, Saying this, Zayden showed his mobile to her. He had not dialed anyone’s number. He was just to show her that he had called someone for real. Grace’s mouth fell in shock, as she just realized that he had tricked her. Zayden laughed when he saw her expression. “I know, I am smart. Now eat.”, He said jokingly.

Grace was about to deny again, but she concluded the outcomes of her actions so she went against her plan of denying again. She sat down beside him and glared at him because this was the last thing she could do.

“Thank god! Looks doesn’t kill people!”, Zayden joked again, pointing at the way she was glaring at him. Grace picked up the pizza slice and started having it without showing it to Zayden that she liked it. While he looked at her action and for a while imagined himself in place of that pizza’s slice.

‘Come out of your dreamworld, Zayden.’, His wolf scolded him.

Zayden came back to his room, throwing the leftover pizza in the kitchen’s dustbin, and saw Grace staring at the bed instead of resting on it.

“What now?”, He asked, raising his brow. Grace looked up toward him and started a mini-speech which she had thought to speak.

“I..I was thinking of resting in another room which you gave me?”, She said, which sounded more like asking him.

“Last time, I checked we were married. So, I don’t mind sharing the bed nor do I think you should mind either.”, he said with a playful smile and took out the gun from the pocket of his trouser and for once, Grace thought he was going to use it.

“Y.you don’t have to use it. I..I am not going anywhere.”, She quickly said and laid on the bed. Zayden looked at her in confusion. He had removed the gun so that even though he could take a rest for a while, he didn’t do anything to scare Grace this time. But he didn’t say anything and let her fear.

‘Please don’t come close.’, She prayed in her mind, faking her sleep, at the edge of the bed. Just a moment later, she felt the other side of the bed dip and she felt his presence and what she remembered was, she was pulled by a strong arm in the middle of the bed.

“Please..Pplease…”, She started whimpering.

“I promise that I won’t cross my line, sweetheart. All I want is to cuddle you. I don’t think this is wrong between husband and wife.”

‘This can’t be happening.’, She thought helplessly, and tried to remove his hand, but his grip only tightened more. Sighed in defeat, she let him snake his arms over her waist. She was feeling tired from all the incidents that happened today, so she was welcomed by the darkness as soon as her body relaxed a bit. But Zayden was feeling restless, from the moment his eyes landed on the marks on her neck, he couldn’t help but keep thinking about it.

‘Grace doesn’t have any boyfriend, right? Then how the hell did these marks appear on her neck?’ I will have to talk with her before coming to any conclusion.’, He thought, before closing his eyes.

“Master, Wyatt, there is a good new which may be of interest to you!”, James said to Wyatt, who was busy drinking the b***d from one of his human dolls.

“Go on! I love good news!”, Wyatt replied, pushing his human doll away from him but still he didn’t bother to look at him.

“Zayden Staunton is now married.”

‘WHAT?”, Wyatt shouted in astonishment and snapped his face to look at James.

“Zayden Staunton is now married.”

“Are you sure? Because the last time you gave me his news was utter nonsense.”, He asked, raising his brow.

“Yes, master.This time I am two hundred percent sure. Because I was the eyewitness of everything that happened.”, James said.

Wyatt started laughing hysterically. His stomach started hurting due to his laugh and he soon sat on the couch clutching his stomach.

“You are not serious….are you? Zayden…my brother…is married?”, Wyatt asked again in between his laughs.

“Is he your real brother, Master? If yes, then how come he is a werewolf and you are a vampire?”

“Long story. By the way, who is his mate? And why am I knowing about this now?”, Wyatt asked, getting serious.

“She is not his mate. Zayden had chosen her as his mate. And everything was so sudden. The girl wasn’t willing to marry. Zayden Staunton forced himself on her.”, James explained.

“Then she must be quite special!”, Wyatt said in wonder.

“She is a human.”, Wyatt snapped his face toward James again in shock.

“A human?”

“Yes!”

“I can’t believe this.”, Wyatt muttered. “He…He rejected his strong mate just to choose a weak human as his mate. This is insane.”, He sighed.

“Really? He had rejected his mate? But the source says that his mate rejected him.”

“Nah…That bastard had rejected her. That’s why I mentioned that the girl chosen by him must be very special for him.”,

“So, what is your plan? I mean to take him down!”, Wyatt smiled at Jame’s question.

“Either you are an idiot or too immature. Can’t you see that now, we don’t have to do anything. If this is a forced marriage then obviously it won’t work out well which will torment him someway or any. Also, all these things he won’t be able to concentrate on his revenge game and by checking the perfect time, I will attack him. Not to mention, his real mate, who got rejected, will take this news lightly because she is a WITCH.”, Wyatt explained.

“And what if he figures out the solution to every problem, then?”

“Then…then he won’t be the same old Zayden, whom I know.”, Wyatt answered. “His wife will surely change his heart and way of working.”

“And what if nothing like this happens? I mean what if whatever he did today was nothing but just a mere attraction which will end soon. What if…”

Wyatt quickly cut him in between. “That’s impossible. He can be anything but not a womanizer. And as much as I know him, he is ruthless and cruel but his only weakness is that he respects women. And if he had married someone, she must be important and special to him. As for now, we have to just wait for the perfect opportunity.”

“Why wait, when we can easily kidnap his weak wife now?”

“Are you insane? He will be very protective and obsessive about her right now. He will literally kill anyone who even touches her. So, we shouldn’t take any action now. Just wait for at least for a few months.”

“But…But I have already touched her and even kissed her forcefully leaving hickey on her neck.”, Jame said, on which Wyatt’s eyes popped out. He already knew by that time that he was going to receive a painful death from his so-called brother.
