Chapter 14

I woke up feeling soreness around my neck. What the hell happened. Then I remembered what happened in the Witch town. I gasped sitting on the bed. Bed? where did it come from? I touch my neck gingerly and feel the bandage there. I must have cut pretty deep just for the appearance.

Idiot.

I scanned the room, I was sitting on the King sized bed which was in the center of the spacious room, the bed have silver silk cover over it with the black duvet. My eyes roamed in the entire room, it was beautiful and large. Ceiling was craft with gold so does the walls which have black diamond studded in it. It looks marvelous. My mouth opened in surprise, There in the center of the room hung a large golden chandelier which was illuminating light to the whole room. There was a big portrayed for Chase on the left wall with her mother whom I recognize from my last visit. I figured this room belongs to none other than Chase, the mighty King himself (note the sarcasm).

I sighed untangling my legs from the duvet that was draped over me and decided to explore this place. I have to find Caleb and Kyle as well. I stood up, looking for the door, this room is huge, like huge in space. I saw a door to my right, light was illuminating through the door. Maybe this can be the exit door. I walked in that direction and turned the knob to open the door.

"Oh you are awake" a voice said behind me making me stiffen in my spot. Shit. He is here. My option of running from here is seize to none now. I slowly turned around to look at him. He was standing at the far end near a door which I didn't notice before. I mentally face palmed myself. That door must be exit, not the one I was holding the handle of.

In two swift steps, He stood in front of me. For the first time I realized that He is big, like towering over me with a good half foot. I cranked my neck to look at him. He was wearing silver silk shirt, black pants adorning with black boots. He looked handsome. Shut up brain. He was still looking at me raising an eye brow, then I remembered he asked me something. "Great Discovery" I replied sarcastically, if he thinks I am going to be lovey dovey, he is mistaking a big time. He didn't look offended by my comment, just merely smirked at me. "How's your neck feeling right now?" he asked, looking little concern. "You stunned me" I accused him, I was not passed out because of blood loss. He pressed a vein on my neck and made me unconscious. That sneaky b*stard. "That was the easiest option to deal with your incoherent self" he shrug like it was not a big deal. "You--" I huffed not finding any words to reply to him.

He is such a jerk.

He smirked when he saw I don't have anything to say. Without thinking I jumped on him so that I could hurt him. He didn't see that coming, he dis balanced because of my weight and we both toppled down on the floor. "Ow" I grunted due the impact, I was on top of him, his arms were secured around my waist, my arms were around his neck. We were pressed against each other. He was looking at me, My eyes were on him as well. This is the first time I am seeing his eyes this close. They are mesmerizing dark golden color with the tint of emerald in them, from afar they looked like dark brown. They are so beautiful.

Why this man has to be so handsome!

I never got attracted to any one in my life time but this is the first time that the man in front of made my mind go blank. I squirmed in his hold to get away from him but he tighten his hold on me if that even possible. "Let me go" I said uncomfortable with the position, desperately trying to get out of his hold. "Stop, don't move" he whispered, pained expression crossing his face. I stopped when I realize that I am unconsciously rubbing my body to him. My face started to heat up from the compromised position we were in. "Just let me go then" I whispered dropping my head so that he couldn't see my embarrassed face. He chuckled and drop his one arm from my waist and pressed on my cheek instead tilting my head so that he could look at me. "You are so beautiful" he said awed looking in my eyes. This man is doing things to me. I have to get in control. Where is the training when you need it. I forced my body to move and detached myself from him standing few feet away from him. He stood up as well, a frown etched on his face. I rubbed my cheek where he touched me, "Never touch me again" I snapped glaring at me. His expression turned annoyed "We are mates".

"Like hell we are, you are a monster, I would rather die than be with you" I gritted my teeth in anger. I don't elope with enemies. If he is thinking that I am going to accept us being mates without any trouble then he has other things coming. A sick feeling appear in the pit of my stomach but I ignored it. Pained look cross over his face for a second but he quickly recovered from it and with a blank look he asked "What is your name?".

I fake laughed looking at him. "You call yourself a mate of mine and you don't even know my name, such a pity" I made 'tsk' sound looking at my nails acting bitchy. I know this behavior is making him angry and thats what I want. He called me Angel right. I will show me what a devil I am. Suddenly he appeared in front of me and gripped my wrist tightly "You are testing my patience here Angel, I am just asking for your name" he said in frightened tone "If you don't want to give me, I can ask your friends" he smirked knowing its my weak point. The confident look I had flickered away "Don't you dare!" I glared at him. "So tell me what I am asking, If you corporate with me, they will be spared until then" he said loosing his grip from my wrist and turning away to sit on the bed. I sighed in frustration. He is using them as a bait.

"Shall we start again, What's your name Princess?" He asked in calmer tone this time. I feel irritated when he called me princess, only my father call me that. I miss him so much. "My name is Emerald" I replied finally. There are many Emerald in this world. He won't know about my heritage just by my first name. "Emerald" he murmured the name to himself. It felt good coming out of his mouth. Get a grip. "Like your eyes" he commented almost instantly. "Where did you live Angel?" he asked another question. If I told him about my real home, maybe he will leave me. "I am from Sabriya" I said proudly watching for his reaction. Cranky expression crossed on his facial features. We hate you as well. "Why, you don't look happy" I asked just to irritate him more. "Doesn't matter you are going to live with me from now on", the outcome I wanted didn't come but a look of horror cross over my face. "I am not living with you" I said infuriated, I have to do something to get out of here but without Rose its not possible. Shit. Rose. He is looking for her. If he found out she is me, then mate or no mate, he will make me suffer. I have to avoid that tiny bit of information about me until my power returns after that I will show him my true powers if thats means giving full control to Rose.

"I am hungry" I said instead, deliberately avoiding his last comment. "Maid will bring you some food, freshen up a little then meet me outside in the throne room" he said and stood up from the bed. I didn't ask him anything further that how I am going to find my way around because I won't be going there. From now on, Irritating and making him furious is my new hobby until I am here. "I will see you soon" with that said he made his way outside of this room but he stopped and turned around looking at me in confusion "In Witch town, you said something about Rose, how do you know her" he asked, his fist clenched in anger, I gulped feeling nervous all of a sudden. Why do you have to open your big mouth.

"Because she belongs to my Kingdom, I have heard about her, she was banished from the Kingdom because she cause damage here" I said with straight face lying through my teeth, he raised his eye brow and after a minutes nodded his head "Very well then" with that said he walked out of the room closing the door behind him. I sighed and sat at the edge of bed feeling a headache coming. What did I get myself into this time.

The door I was trying to open turned out to be the washroom. It was as luxurious as room itself. Its been a while that I used that kind of washroom So I took my time in cleaning myself. I wrapped a clean towel around me which I found hanging in here. But I don't have any spare clothes to wear. I looked at my dirty clothes, I have been wearing then for almost two days now. I am not going to wear them again until they are washed. So I got out of the washroom in only towel. As I entered back in the room, I saw a plate of food was there on the bed.

I am famished.

Forgetting about the clothes, I just rushed towards food and the aroma that it gave was mouth watering. There was bread, boiled eggs with chopped fruits and a glass of milk. I quickly devoured the food satisfying my hunger. I burped after finishing my food.

Well I know its rude to burp when you are a highly Princess. But I am not like other Princess besides no one is here to watch me.

I started to look around this room to find something decent to wear.

As good it sound to infuriate him, I can't walk around half naked.

I saw another door which I am thinking is a closet. I opened that door and to my relief, It was a walk in closet filled with Almighty King's clothes.

Seriously he doesn't own much color. Boring person.

I started looking and found a blue shirt which was long but shorter to compared to other shirts he have here. I took it and wore it, It reach to my thighs like a mini dress, sleeves were too long so I folded them a bit and started looking for some pants or maybe shorts. Pants are very large for my figure so I searched for some shorts and at last found a pair of white boy shorts. Ew. Now I have to wear his clothes. My hair air dried and draped on my shoulders in waves. My neck is stiff but not sore any more. When I showered I took out the bandages, and saw a faint line around my neck. I grimaced at the wound. At my stupidity. I get out of the closet and sat on bed, there was a window in this room but it is locked. He knew I would try to run away from there. I just sat there waiting for him to come to me because surely I am not going to him. I will defy his every command. I smirked, thats my new rule.
