Imprisoned

Chapter # 29

"What is it?" I asked with my heart on the verge of bursting with nervousness. The disturbance of my mind stole my ability to think but I managed to act unaffected.

"Why are you so devoted to Prince?" He asked.

Stopping in my tracks, I turned to him, "Do I seem devoted?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yes. You do. More like a puppet in his presence. Why is everyone around me a puppet?" He asked worriedly. I couldn't see his face but he seemed enraged.

"Everyone around you?"

"Nothing.Can't you see he is manipulating you?"

Bewildered by his behavior, I put my hand on my waist, furrowing my brows.

"What happens between us is stimulated by emotions. I do it because I want to," I replied with a shrug.

"Why can't you notice, you are captured."

A sad smile came on my lips, sighing, "I know. I am.. And.."

I looked up at him with a wide smile, renewing the reality where I could breathe without his name too but my soul has forgotten the fact.

"My imprisonment is his satisfaction."

"Imprisonment?"

"In his heart. We are married, silly, how else do you expect a married couple to act? Hate each other? Since you don't have a lover, you won't understand, De Villiers." I winked, giggling a little.

"Maybe I don't after all... I can never understand."

"Hey, what happened? Did I say something wrong?" I chuckled nervously, he was now sad.

"Nothing." He mumbled and ignoring it, we went to the room where our meeting was held.

"Your Mother used to place her meetings there too." He whispered.

"I am not her."

"Exactly. You are nowhere near her." He chuckled, earning a glare from me.

With each step I took toward the room the amusement on my face faded, inhaling deeply and forcing an unbreakable façade to show who rules.

Becoming the cold and heartless person I detest but there was no escape from his wolfish environment.

The moment I entered, all eyes fell upon me. Prince was present with Garry, Theo with Zaniel, Issac with his daughter Zariah and another Alessandra and finally Axel Hyraz with five other men.

Halting my breaths of pressure and replacing the distress by dominance, I entered.

"Who knew Prince's bride would be so young? You surely caught a big fish that our Zaniel couldn't." Axel mocked, smirking and putting his elbow on the table, contemplating my form.

"Too bad you couldn't find her before I did." Prince retorted, rolling his eyes.

"Is there more than power, hmm? Do you love-"

"Watch your mouth. You are not here for a chit chat. Besides, my life is none of your business." I hissed.

"Oops, our Missy got angry." He taunted as I smirked, closing my arms at my chest.

"Exactly, just like you did when you faced dust when Zariah massacred your tower." His amusement faded when I hit his sensitive nerve.

De Villiers told me a few taunts for all of them to shut them up instantly and it worked. Of course he knew everything.

"Now that you are serious, we can get to our actual matter." I said, taking a seat, leaning back.

"Why have you called us? We have nothing to do with Issac and Axel." Theo said bitterly.
