Chapter 20

Aubree's POV

"Goddammit Tristan, get the fuck out!!! I swear I can't get no privacy in this fucking castle!!! How the fuck was my niece conceived here if everyone kicks doors in!!!" He covered his eyes, trying to guide his way out the door, but he was bumping into the wall and stumbling over everything. " Im sorry guys, I thought Aubree was getting attacked", as he found the doorway and exited. I let out a sigh as I looked at Malik, " I swear this is the last fucking straw, someone is going to get there mind wiped for this shit". Malik let out a chuckle, "Calm down beautiful, we will have plenty of time to finish. Im flustered too, I was just about to give you something to remember". I smirked at the thought of that, but we cant finish now, fucking Tristan knocked the door of the hinges. Fuck it, I jumped out the bed, still naked, " Like you could have handled all of this. I really think Tristan saved you from another healing session", as I grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom. I ran my bath water and sat there thinking about what almost happened. Something just isn't right, I need to take a trip to see Queen Razel. She should have the answers I seek, but first I need to see what the fuck Tristan wanted. After I bathed and got dressed I walked out the bathroom and Malik was gone, dam he could've said bye. I looked over to the bureau and seen a note he left, Hey beautiful, I have to get to my duties, but I surely want to finish what we started. But first I want to take you to town so we can have dinner and a date with no interruptions. I will see you later, Love Malik. He wants to go on a date? I smiled just at the thought that he doesn't just want to lay with me, he wants to be around me. I walked out of my chamber and Tristan was still waiting by the window, waiting for me to come out," You have my dam attention now, what the fuck was so important that you busted in and interrupted me". He turned around with an embarrassed look on his face, " Aubree I'm truly sorry, I really thought you were being attacked. If you want, I would prefer if you wiped that part of my memory so I wont have to relive that shit", as he chuckled. " Whatever Tristan, what do you want?" He took a deep breath as he began to speak, "King Titus want you to interrogate Cassandra and manipulate her into releasing Lynia from their blood oath". I guess King Titus is ready to make his move, but I didn't think it would be this soon. " I will go to the cells after I go eat and rest, I have been up most of the night healing Malik". He instantly started laughing, " That's what you call healing". He has to be a dick about this shit, Im already pissed and hes rubbing it in, " Keep it up asshole, next time you and my little sister get busy, I'll make sure to interrupt you two too". I had a thought that I knew would ruffle his feathers, " Or maybe I should just give you a mental block so you can't perform in the bed", as I smirked. He stopped laughing and his face became so serious, " Aubree don't play, that was a mistake....But what you are talking about, I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy". I then started laughing, " Then stop fucking with me, I'm already mad at your ass", as I started walking toward the kitchen. " I'll start the interrogation tonight".

Lynia POV

After Marcel brought me my food, I ate and felt a hell of a lot better, now I can get out the bed. I started walking down the corridor down the stairs to the cells. I really need to know why this bitch tried to sell my daughter to that fucker. When I reached the cells, I walked to Cassandra cell and I was shocked with what I seen. They must really hate her here because the beat the shit of out her. She had bruises all over her body and her face looked even more horrendous. Her eye was closed shut, it looked like they broken her nose and her lips looked so lifeless. She was chained up by her hands in the middle of the cell, with her legs dangling. I walked over to her as she tried to look to see who entered. I have to admit, I do take pleasure in seeing her like this, she deserved everything that has happened to her. but because of my blood oath I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. I walked over to the wall and released the chains that was holding her up. When her body fell on the cell floor I walked over to her and kneeled down in front of her, " You know I cannot harm you Bitch, but you're going to tell me why you tried to sell my daughter to that fucker". She looked up at me and smirked as she was trying to catch her breath, " You think you and Tristan are special? Do you think Alora is excused from what goes on in the world? If King Titus wasn't her grandfather, Jack would be marrying her right now", as she started coughing up blood. When she said that dam comment about Jack, I got pissed off, I bent down and grabbed her by her collar, " Do you think I'm playing with you cunt"?, as I hissed and threw her to the wall. I felt the pain, but I didn't care, I'm tired of her shit. She gave me a shocked looked, " Lynia I didn't think you had it in you. You wouldn't understand my meaning of what I did until I tell you a little about me", as she huffed. I wasnt always like this but when your own famiy fuck you over, you turn out like me. (Flashback) I was born in the Capital and was raised around King Morton's children, why not he is my great, great, great uncle. My father was a loving man, he loved me more than life and showed me everyday of my childhood, after my mother was killed. When I was 16 I found my bloodmate, Xavier, who was kind and gentle. I was so excited, I told my father and he freaked out, mumbling something like this isn't going to end well. He told me to keep it a secret, because King Moron would be pissed off and kill Xavier. For a whole year, Xavier and I secretly seen each other and became closer by the day. One day when I was spending time with King Morton's daughter, King Morton sent for me. He told me I was supposed to marry Cletus and keep an eye on Tristan, he never told me why, but now I know. I Pleaded with him not to make me go through with it, what if I find my Bloodmate while I'm married. He told me Bloodmates are for commoners with no responsibilities and because I have his blood running through my veins, I have responsibilities. I begged and pleaded with him, hell I even cried and cursed him. I ran home to tell my father what had just happened and he told me not to worry, he will take care of it. That night I met with Xavier and told him what had happened, he was so pissed he almost lost control. I told him my father said he would take care of it, but how wrong I was to believe him. My father could not convince him not to make me go through with it. My father, Xavier and I came up with a plan for Xavier and I to run away together and after a few years father would join us. On the night we were supposed to leave, I spent the day at the castle with Morton's daughter and she said something that made me leave immediately, "No matter what, you will marry Cletus and your precious blood mate will be gone". I ran home wondering how they found out about Xavier and seen the most gruesome scene. There were two bodies burnt to a crisp and decapitated laying in my front yard. That was the day I died on the inside, the two men I loved more than anything was dead and to top it all off I still had to marry Cletus. Morton brung me to the castle because he was afraid that I would run away, and he was right, I would've ran away and hid. I guess he had a little sympathy for me because he let me mourn until my 18th birthday. I stayed in my room all day and night, I refused my blood rations, I just wanted to die. The week before I was supposed to go to Cletus Castle, Morton's daughter came into my chamber with a big grin on her face and told me that she was the one who told her father about Xavier and she didn't regret it either. She was my favorite cousin and I still to this day can't tell you why she did it. From that day forward, I promised myself I would never have love in my heart for anyone or anything. I went to a witch to make sure of it, she put a spell on me to make me cold hearted. When I heard her story, I felt so sorry for her, how could her family do this to her?. I looked at her and seen tears roll down her cheeks, as she stopped talking and was thinking. She looked up at me, " When I came here I was jealous of Tristan and your bond because I couldn't be with my bloodmate. I know he's dead because I stopped feeling him the day I saw the burned bodies. She took a deep breath, " I Cassandra, wife to Lord Cletus, Mother of Sorsha release Lynia, daughter of Tatiyana, wife to Tristan from her Blood Oath", then she leaned back. "Now get the fuck outta here and leave me to die. I don't deserve any mercy, just tell them to execute me and get it over with. I hugged her for releasing me, but I still felt sorry for her, maybe I could talk to Titus about sparing her. "Thank You Cassandra, I'm most grateful, I will leave you for now, but I will be back", then I stood up and left the cell.
