Bonus Chapter 29
Elizabeth
Drowsily, my eyes fluttered open, but I closed them because the sun was glaring right into them. Slowly, I opened them again. I winced at the throbbing headache I felt. I was in an unfamiliar room. Wait, no, it wasn't unfamiliar. I sat up in a panic. However, I heard something metallic. What the heck? I hadn't noticed earlier, but a long chain ran from the headboard to my wrist.
Aerys fucking kidnapped me!
" Aerys!" I screamed. My heart was pounding as I looked around the room. I was in Aery's room at the manor and chained to his bed! I tried to pull, but it didn't budge.
I couldn't believe the idiot kidnapped me! I won't forgive him for this! The door opened, and Tonga rushed in, worried.
" Tonga, w- why am I chained, and what did you guys do?" I asked, annoyed. I was still trying to pull the chain; however, when I did, my wrist hurt.
" I tried to stop him, but he didn't listen to me," she was agitated, looking sorry.
"Grab the key, now," I told her, but she shook her head.
" I don't have it," she answers, making me screech.
" Please, calm down," she said gently, and I glared at her. Calm down. Her alpha kidnapped and tied me to a bed! Who would calm down?
" I can't calm down, and I won't. Where is he? Call him now," I demanded. Reluctantly, she pulled a phone from her pocket and dialed Aerys's number.
" Put it on speaker,"
" Tonga, I'm busy,"
" Aerys! How dare you do this to me! Come here, and get me out of this chain,"
" Elizabeth," he brethed. All my anger dissipated for a second when I heard his voice, " I can't talk right now. I'm in a meeting with the council,"
" Aerys, I don't care; I want to leave now,"
" We'll talk when I come back; stay put," he said and hung up. Stay put, I fucking didn't have anywhere else to go! I sighed and threw my back against the bed.
" Well, we brought your rooster. He's playing in the garden," Tonga said timidly, and I glared at her. She bolted out of the room.
An hour later, Tonga brought a food tray, but I refused to eat. I still couldn't believe Aerys would do something so crazy. If Chuck found out what he did, it would incite war. I hope his family makes them see reason.
The door to the bedroom opened, and former Luna Caliana walked in. I sat upright and faced her, my chest aching. I loved her, and she just watched as they banished me.
She smiled softly at me, and tears filled my eyes. She walked towards me and pulled me in her warm embrace. I relaxed in her arms. When she pulled away, she caressed my cheek gently.
" How have you been, dearest Elizabeth?" her tone made me cry. Why did this woman have such an effect on me? She wiped my tears and frowned.
" Why are you crying?"
" I just missed you, Caliana," I croaked.
" I missed you too, and I'm sorry for everything that happened," she said sincerely.
" Me, too," I sniffed. I was sorry Princeton did that. He disrupted the peace not only in the pack but also in the family.
Luna Caliana stayed with me; we talked. She was mad that Aerys kidnapped me; however, like every mother, she made excuses for his absurd behavior.
Aerys
" I can't believe you kidnapped her," Uncle Marcus said, amused. I didn't know I would either, but I was just desperate.
" I just want you here with me. I know she hates me, but I'll continue begging for her forgiveness," I told him. He nodded and pulled his wife closer. They were happy together, especially now that she had finally given birth to twin girls.
" Well, I support you, Aerys," Selena said with a smile. My entire family believes Elizabeth now, especially since Selena confirmed it. I checked my wristwatch; it was time to go home. However, I was hesitant; I don't think I was ready to face my mate. Tonga told me she was pissed when she woke up and refused to talk to her.
" Uncle, make sure everyone knows that Elizabeth is back and inform them of new developments," I said. He bowed and nodded.
I dialed my sister, Love, who answered on the first ring.
" Hey, brother," He was silent for a moment.
" I saw her," I told her
" Who?"
" Elizabeth, I saw her when I went to Oregon for a meeting. She was working with an alpha. I think they are in a relationship of some sort," I growled.
" Oh. How was her reaction to seeing you?"
" She ignored me. I approached her, but she refused to speak to me." I am hesitant to tell her.
" Aerys," she called in warning.
" I couldn't help it, Love. When I saw her, everything came crashing down. The feelings I had for her came at full speed and intensified. I asked her for forgiveness, but she wouldn't listen, so I did what I could at the moment."
" Which is?"
" I kidnapped her," I finally confessed, and she gasped.
" Aerys Chasia!"
I told my sister everything and hung up the phone. Her concerns were that Chuck Arrw would retaliate for taking Elizabeth. I knew he would, but I was ready for him. Elizabeth was my mate—the one the goddess prepared for me.
I pulled into the driveway and went straight inside the house. However, I met Liace as I went upstairs, and I growled in frustration. I wasn't in the mood for her drama; her eyes were bloodshot.
" What do you want?" she flinched at my tone and stepped back.
" I came here to confess,"
" Confess what?" I growled. She hesitated for a moment and then sucked in a breath before she spoke.
" Princeton told me Elizabeth was innocent. I was just angry that she took you away from me. That's why I didn't say anything sooner," she said softly, not looking at me. I took dangerous steps towards us. I was fucking fuming, and my fist was shaking. Before I could reach her, someone put a hand on my shoulder, and I glared at the person. It was my father.
" She'll be punished; just go to your mate," he said, his glare stuck on Liace. I gave her a stern look and went upstairs.
I inhaled once I reached the door, but my hands couldn't open it. Elizabeth was there, no doubt mad at me. Gathering courage, I pushed it open. Her back was against the door, and she didn't turn. I noticed she hadn't eaten either. I went to her side and crouched.
" I hate you," she whispered.
" I know," I sighed. Elizabeth sat up and glared at me, and I almost shrank.
" What the fuck were you thinking, Aerys?!" she yelled, balling her fist. She was screaming, that was good. Anger is good and not quite.
" I was desperate. I wasn't thinking," I admitted.
" You weren't. Now that you have regained your senses, free me," she said. I shook my head,
" Will you stay here with me if I do that?" I asked, eyeing her intently.
" No,"
" Then I can't do that,"
She screamed in frustration, " Aerys, what is your plan? Keep me here until I accept me?!"
" I honestly didn't think about it too much," I admitted. I got on my knees and caressed her cheek,
" Elizabeth, I messed up, and I'm begging for forgiveness,"
She seemed shocked for a moment.
" I can forgive you, but we can't get back together. I'm with Chuck-"
I growled, cutting off his sentence. She didn't love him. He was just there when I wasn't.
" I don't care about him. Just be true to your feelings. Elizabeth, you'll never be happy if you go back to him, and you know that because your heart only wants me," I told her.
She revolted against my touch and looked away. I stood up and kissed her temple.
I needed to go for a run. I went for a long run through the forest, and when I came back, Elizabeth was sleeping. She looked so peaceful and beautiful.
I went to the shower and took a cold bath. Then, I snuggled in bed with her and pulled her closer to me.
I woke up late the following morning. It was the first time I'd slept in, and I slept well. Elizabeth was already awake, watching me.
" Good morning," I greeted her with a smile. She looked away and murmured a response. I lay in bed for a while... I couldn't believe how revitalized I felt.
" Breakfast?" I asked.
" I'm not hungry," she murmured. I sighed and grabbed her wrist. Her heart beat loudly at our proximity, and her pretty eyes were fixated on mine. Elizabeth hated that I bound her. I will set her free.
I unlocked the chain cuff quickly, and she gasped, a smile gracing her lips.
" I thought it needed a key,"
" No, you could do it yourself, but you were too angry to notice," I told her, and she nodded.
" No, would you like some breakfast? You haven't eaten since yesterday," I told her. Elizabeth looked paler... than usual. Her gaze dove on my neck, and her eyes darkened a little. Did she want to feed? Elizabeth had never fed from me, even though she could.
" I would like some breakfast," her voice was a whisper, and she straddled me before I could prepare myself. I gripped her waist and pulled her closer to me. She dipped her nose in my neck and inhaled my scent. I grabbed her hips tighter as she licked my neck, and shivers went through my body. I felt her fangs extend and slowly dig into my flesh. I suppressed my moan as I was transported into an abyss of pleasure.
My dick hardened in my pants, and I was going to orgasm. The sensation she was giving me was unimaginable.
I soon felt her retract from my neck and lick my puncture until it was closed. She faced me with a satisfied look on her face,
"Wow, I didn't think human blood could taste so delicious," she confessed, her cheeks flushed.
" Well, I didn't know that having someone feed on me would be so thrilling and sexy. I need -"
before I finished my sentence, she hit my throat and wrapped her hand around my neck in a chokehold. Her eyes ablaze with anger. She was fucking strong.
" It's only because we are mates, that's why you felt like that. Don't ask vampires to feed on you," she gritted her teeth. I raised my hand, and she released me. I started to cough, and she looked concerned. Her hand went up and down my back.
" I'm sorry," she murmured.
" Boy, I usually forget how old and strong you are," I said. Elizabeth didn't look strong because of her delicate, fragile build, but she was strong.
" I am, so don't mess with me, Aerys," she barked, and I smiled.
" Are you jealous because you think I'd sought out a vampire to feed on me?" I teased, and she was embarrassed.
" No, it - it could be dangerous. I'm the only one who can feed from you," I pulled her towards me and kissed her lips softly.
" I was going to say you should be feeding on me often," I said, and she only nodded, getting off me so quickly that she stumbled.
" I - I want to see Dumber," I said quickly. I nodded and got out of bed to wear my clothes.
We went downstairs to have a human breakfast. My parents and siblings were at the table. Elizabeth exchanged pleasantries with everyone before she sat down to enjoy breakfast. The conversation at the table was normal and didn't feel awkward!
