chapter 6
Argh
(glass breaks)
"my lady calm down"
"how can i be calm he spends time with her all in the name of tea time, he barely even speaks to me and it drives me nut"
"relax my lady leave it to me"
* * * *
"you should just freshen up and rest , i dont think his grace will be coming today "
"that true he seems busy lately "nellie said
"he barely even steps out of his office,i have been taking his meal there " maya replied as she neatly folds my clothes
"whatever it is that he is working on must really be of great consign"
"yes, true"maya said with a sigh as she sits by my side "you should take tea to him my lady"
"wait , no i cant do that"
"why not "
"he might not like it and might get angry and lash at me"nellie said shaking her head
"come on , you can never know"
* * * *
( Lord shark pov)
"since he refuses to do it our way , we have to take another means"
"but the treaty , if the elders find out about it it will speak rot"derek said
(knock knock )
"come in"
as i look up to see who it is only to see nellie walk in , she look so beautiful in her red gown that covered every part of her body but one could still see her curves as she walk up to my table been followed by a maid behind her
"sorry to disturb you , your grace i know you have been working really hard lately so i decided to bring your tea to you instead" she said as the maid places the tray on a table not to far from darain and derek my beta filling the whole room with the scent of lemon , how i have been craving this for days now
"the tea , is my name included" darain said to which she smilied and nod " well i would kill to have a glass "
"your grace can i pour you a glass"
"sure"i replied as i continued to look true the paper spread opened before.
* * * *
(Nellie pov)
first when i knocked on the door i was so scared it was actually maya idea to do this and she chickened out at the last minutes, but all my anxiety began to fly when i started serving the tea i took the opportunity to steal glares at the map on the the table it is the map of the whole ice land and from the looks of things his grace is circling the white lands
if only i could be of help
"my lord i know it is not in my place to say anything but lord white has the backing of the ministry "
"how do you mean "derek asked surprised as my courage to speak to be honest even i was amazed at myself
"i have no idea but i know for sure that one of the reason my brother put up with whatever he does"
"he is in alliance with your brother" this time it was lord shark who asked
"i dont know if it is an alliance but i know they make deals"i said this time embarrassed at the fact that my brother works with someone like mr white "and if it my help , lord white has a son "
" A son" lord shark asked this time displeased at the fact that he didnt know about this
"Are you sure about this , i mean there are no records of any son" darain asked probably it was his job to make investigation
"positive , his name happens to be nicolas for some reason i have no idea about lord white kept him hidden after his mum died"
"hmmm"
"and you know all this how " lord shark asked
" after my parent dead i just use to move about within the palace so most times i use to hid in the cupboard when playing hid and seek with my nanny and was able to hear my brother talk about it "i said truthfully " but for Nicolas his father hid him for almost a year within our lands , he was actually the one who taught me how to hunt " i finally said smiling
"derek call the airport , we leave in four hours we have all the information we need"
"nai my lord" ( yes my lord )
"shawn man have your maid come prepare you, you are coming with us " lord shark said
"what"i , derek and darain said together
"my lord have i done something wrong , i know i shouldn't have said anything , am sorry i did i just wanted to help"i said almost crying
"my lord i think we should leave her out"derek said
" consider it our honeymoon trip "
* * * *
(lord shark pov)
I know i frightened her when i asked her to come along , but for no reasons i got jealous that she actually smiled when she thought of nicolas i will like to see how close they really are
"my lord the airport has banned every flight within that time frame we will have to go by road"derek said
"prepare the car will leave in one "
"which car my lord "
"let darain pick am sure that will cheer him up after being smacked" i said , i actually gave him the beating of his life for leaving out important fact about lord white
"nai" derek said and left
"going somewhere"Andriana said
"yes , am finally closing the white case "
" oh , i have bags to pack then "she said turning to leave
"you will not be going with us "
"what " she asked "but i heard derek say four people who is the fourth"
"the Shawn man"
" what , how could you"
" i dont owe you an explanation "
"nai my lord" she replied submissively
* * * * * *
( nellie pov)
we sat in the car quietly at first until darain started to hum to a kid song
"darain will you shut up"derek who was driving said
"come on the weather is cloudy , the drive is long what do you want me to do" darain whined like i baby who was told to stay put by his mum , i have never seen both of them talk casually with one another
"derek the road is getting dark and we dont want to arrive late at night so let spend the night in a hotel and continue"
"nai"
* * * *
(phone rings)
"what i asked for is it ready?"
"yes mrs shawn ,but you will have to come and pick it up yourself if you want it within that time frame"
"why?"
"the weather condition is not favourable and since it just one we cant risk it"
"fine."
(line cuts)
* * * * * *
" sorry sir we have just two room "
" you are the third hotel in this region to say that "derek said "is there no way you can evacuate someone "
"we will take it " lord shark said "derek you stay with darain and the showman with me"lord shark said
"nai" (yes)
"what room is it "
"number ten and nine "
"okay my assistance will settle the bills"
" alright it an automatic door once i credit the account the door opens , but you have your key on the desk you can use it to lack the door while you occupy the room "
"okay if that so i will head in "lord shark said making his way to the elevator
(nellie pov)
i have been sitting in the bathroom for so long lord shark and i will be spending our first night together since he said that, thought have been going through my head and maya was no good for packing me such nighties now what am i going to do .
(door opens)
my heart fell when i looked and saw him on the couch , maybe he didn't find me attractive to share the same bed with me , he hasn't even looked at me other than with despise or hate, maybe Andriana was right he will never see me more than a peace trophy .
(slient sob)
well isnt that what i want , i cant give myself to a man who hates me it is better that way ,i encouraged myself and went to bed turned off the light and went to sleep at least i get to sleep peacefully .
( lord shark pov)
As she stood looking my way i could guess the thought going through her mind, i dont find her attractive if only she knew that i have been finding it difficult to resist her scent lately . i stood up and walked over to her side , i have been doing that lately even back home her scent has become peace for my wolf
(sigh)
(flash back )
"are you scared" a girl nothing more than eight asked "dont worry i know this woods more than anyone hold on i will get you my brothers clothe"
" wait , what if you dont come back"little lord shark asked
"if i dont, you can come looking for me through that tunnel okay"
"okay "
(flashback ends)
* * * * *
(lord shark pov )
(the following is the mind link between darain and derek)
[ do you think they did it ]
[do what darain]
[you know what , have sex , you know i saw aelous do the walk of shame last night]
[ fool he doesnt need to do the walk of shame she is his wife]
[ we both know he does not see her that way ]
[she doesnt look happy , maybe he was rough ]
[shut up darain and let me drive ]
[come on derek , he cant hear us so what the fuss]
derek had already brought his mind sheild down so i could listen to all darain had to say , too bad for darain tho i was actually finding what he was saying funny but derek wasnt and i knew all within matter of he will loose it that one of the bond between alphas and their betas their are always defensive.
[darain will you let derek drive in peace]
[Alpha , you heard us]
[yes and you better shut up or else i will give you what you deserve]
[nai alpha ] darain mind linked back after giving derek the traitor look he probably even said it .
* * * *
"lord shark , what an unannounced visit to what do i owe this visit "lord white a man in his late sixties with pot belle , not taller than an average man with bald head
"business , white" lord shark said with a mischievous smile
" And nellie darling" lord white said turning and taking her hand "it has been a while, sorry i didnt make it for your wedding"
"let cut the pleasantries and get to business" lord shark said feeling irritated already
"sure this way"
* * * *
(nellie pov)
It has been a while since they all went into lord white office i wonder what they will be discussing
"lady nell"
'"nicolas " i jumped to my feet not minding if anyone might be watching " look at you how have you been"
" i have be good and you "
"am good you have not aged a bit , how long has it been"
" i know six years" he said pausing for a little as if thinking of what next to say " your brother told me you got married to lord shark "he said to which i bowed down in defeat to be honest i had always thought Nicolas and i will someday get married
" am sorry, are you okay"
" yeah am fine he treats me well i must say" i replied smiling
"oh that good"
* * * *
(sound of laughter)
"i have an announcement to make" lord white said " i know majority of you will be shocked at my sudden decision but trust me i have my reason , i hereby step down and hands over the control of the white lands to my son Nicolas under the control of lord shark , a new treaty will be sign to follow this order" he finally said and leaves the room causing the people to murmur among themselves
" our work here is done , cleaner than we expected it to be" darain said disappointed he was expecting fight and bloodshed too bad lord white was smart enough to agree to there terms
" yes but we didnt expect him to hand it over to his son" derek replied suspicious as always
" we will keep a close watch on them he wouldn't back down that easy , darain prepare the cars we head home at once"
