LYCAN KING'S REVENGEFUL BRIDE

Ares and I walk out of the grand hall leaving the ministers behind as the historians arrange the records of the meeting. Penelope once told me she wanted to become an historian that historians do not get tortured like the maids. Historians are the once that write down the things that happens within the palace.

It pained her because her mother had already sworn her to be a maid for the royal palace since she was born.

But she could not. "Those historians are really good in writing. How do they manage to write down every points said in the grand hall.?" I asked Penelope.

Ares had walk to the front. His own legs are longer and he did had other things to take care of.

"Of course they are good at what they do your majesty. I once told you I love to become an historian. But I am not too sure if I want to anymore now that I am past age."

"And why is that?". I ask, that was her dream.

"I am not sure if I want to become a historian anymore because you are here. Now that I am your hand maid I feel so relieved. Work load free. You are so nice to me. Plus I get to see the king frequently. And being a hand maid to the queen is such an honor." She explained. So she was happy to be with me.

"It is almost noon. Would you like your food served in your room or would you like to eat with the palace women?."

"Oh no. I am fine for now. I will let you know when I am hungry. You can take a break yourself." I answered. I need to meet Ashter today. I had promised to come to him today. At noon, in the forest.

So I do not want to keep him waiting. I really want him to transform into his human form. I want to know who Ashter really is. I am sure he is from a prestigious family.

Walking to my chamber, I decided to change into a simple dress. I put on a black gown without too much embodiment.

Taking the route I took yesterday, I met few guards today. Unlike yesterday, there were no guards.

But I did not make them notice that I will be going out of the palace.

The guards greets me with suspicion. But still kept their heads inclined.

In the forest, I met Ashter laying on the grass. His dark fur, dressed finely on him.

I studied him before moving closer to him he must have noticed me coming, because he shited on his paws and walk to me. I lay down near him. And he placed his head on my laps. A feeling of joy erupt in my belly.

I did not know why I am feeling tingles in my body. He was making me feeling the things Ares makes me feel.

This was not fair. But Ashter did not have to know.

"How have you being?. Are you glad to see me?".

I asked, he nodded his head. He is being shy today. I noted. But I did not push further.

"I am really happy you showed up today. I was a little scared you would not come today. I am glad you came. So since you would not be doing any talking. I think I am not really great at talking you know?. I would really appreciate if you transform into your human form. It would make things more fun don't you know?".

"Whatever happens I am responsible for it. I really want to see the real you". I complained. He did not seemed to want to consent. So I didn't push that further too.

He just wanted to keep his indentity secret. So I will allow him to. But it was not fair.

"So last night when I got back home. I was really hoping that Ares would be worried for me rather he was asleep. I wanted him to care. I wanted him to long for me. But he did not. I felt so sad last night." I explained. He brought his head on my higher and places it on my chest.

I did not complain. I need to be soothed.

And he was doing a very good job.

After some quiet moment, he stood up and I could hear bones crackling .. What was going on?. Until I saw Ashter transforming.

He is backreally transformed? His back turned to me. He is fully naked..

"Ash_Ashter?". I called but, I quickly removed my cloak and covers his body.

And then I wait for him to turn to me. until he turned and was dazed to see a man I never expected see. Ares is Ashter?. No way. How can Ares be Ashter?. No this was not fair.

I did not believe . how can Ares be Ashter. I keep saying in my head. I am really seeing things aren't i?.

Ares was walking to me. I was retreating back. There was no way Ares was ashter this man had been decieving me?.

I hate him more. How dare him decieve me?. How dare him lie to me?.

I ran out of the forest. Heading straight to the nowhere. Everywhere was simply dark.

I kept running, tears dripping down my cheeks. He was a deciever. A murderer, a cheat. I should have known he could do more. A liar. He had lied to me. He promised to do what I want. He promised to respect my decision. He promised to wait until I was ready.

I had tolerated him thinking he would change. But now I am well aware that he was the devil himself. He was cursed.

And everyone that comes near him gets affected by his curse.

That night I did not go to his castle. Rather I had went to my chamber, I did not tell Penelope what happened. I did not speak to anyone.

I was beginning to think that everything that happened to him was not his fault. I was beginning to get comfortable around him.

But then the people are right. He was a deciever.

Ashter was Ares. Avalon could not believe it.

She could hear Ares trying to speak in her head. Trying to get past her channel but she had completely shut that down.

She did not want to speak with him. Never. She wanted to avenge him. And he already knew about it. Because she had blurted it out to Ashter who was also Ares. That hurt so much. So I have ended up with no hidden agenda?.

No she has to find another hidden thing to do. A way of avenging him. He knows about my first plan. Well partially.

The next morning, Penelope was so worried about her.

"Your majesty please atleast eat something. The king needs you, our kingdom needs you. It has been almost a week since you have decided to not eat anything. Please your majesty, these is in no way healthy."

He had hurt her, yeah he had but what was

the point of keeping the maids worried.

It has been three days since Ares visited her. Hell! He did not even visit her, he had sent one of his soldiers to do that.

So it is better to keep her head up, she need not starve her self to seek his attention.

All she had done since she had heard of Ares was seeking his attention.

Now she would make sure he is the one seeking her attention.

She would make sure of that.

"Penelope!" Avalon called at once form inside her chamber.

Hearing her majesty's voice, it has been about a week since Avalon spoke to her. Penelope quickly responded.

There was no way she was going be the weak one.
