Resurrection

Chapter 22

Believe Deceive

Ezra's pov

Few days passed my health improved

Gauzes and bandages were removed and the pain vanished.

The only pain that remained was that of his forceful marking

The mark itches but still remains

Each day as I look in the mirror I remember the day he did it.

Seeing my condition my punishment was reduced as of now

I was currently working as a maid inside his castle

I was cleaning his room with a sweeper in my hand when I saw him exit from the dressing room

A navy blue Armani suit fitted his body perfectly and with long confident steps he entered.

He was fixing his watch on his wrist when he found me staring at him

I lowered my gaze and continued with my work feeling embarrassed

He stood in front of the mirror and combed his soft silky hair

" Come here"

He ordered and I made my way towards him leaving the mob on the floor

"...Yes?"

He refused to look at me and continued to stare at the mirror behind me

"Clean these"

He said pointing towards his black shoes

"B...but... I..."

"Hurry !! I have a meeting to attend..."

"..I ...won't"

His hands stopped tying his tie and he stared at me

"You are not in a position to refuse my orders Ezra...or else the dungeon await you"

"...why are you doing this Xav...just reject me!! Kill me..."

"What's the fun in that..."

He grabbed my waist and pulled my body towards him making me land on his chest

Tingles erupted and the heat process started to begin

He retraced the mark on my neck with his lips and lingered kisses on it

Before I know my back was slammed on the mirror behind and his lips landed on mine

This was a foreign feeling I was experiencing after so many years

But I must admit it felt good

We were destined to be together and all this felt right

But soon I was turned around

My face infront of the mirror with his arm around my neck

"Can you see how ugly you look my dear mate? These dull eyes pale skin...stick like figure....I think

moon goddess made a mistake while choosing you..."

I looked up and realised that what he said was true

I was no match for him

"But ..what to do! You can't complaint to her..but no matter how ugly the toy is you can still play with it

..right?"

He said while kissing my cheek from behind

I felt disgusted

Not at his words but at myself

Why was I so ugly?

Was he ashamed of me?

Why was I so week and dependent on others?

Why was I such a evil person?

"Your highness!! We found that girl!!!"

A maid said while running into the room

On hearing her voice Xavier pushed me away from him like I disgusted him

"She is waiting in the hall my lord!! She completely matches your description!!"

A wide smile appeared on Xavier's lips

One which I haven't seen in a long time

"I am coming"

He said and was going to follow the maid when I stopped him

"Who is she?"

I wonder who was this girl who they all were looking for so desperately since last few days.

He looked so happy

Did he loved her?

He turned around and replied with a wide smile

"Your next future queen"

My world shattered right there and then

".bu..t .how?....I ..am..ur....mate"

"Yes you are my mate who will be used for mating while she will be my queen used for ruling my

kingdom"

"...how can you even say that!!!!!"

My voice raised displaying the anger inside me

" Don't worry Ezra...my wolf needs you and I can't deprive him of his pleasure with you....but as for me

she will be my everything..."

"I can be your everything Xavier!! Why are you doing this!!!Please !! I admit I was wrong back then but

please can't you forgive me!! "

I dropped on his feet pleading him for one last chance

"I still love you!"

He didn't listen to me

He just turned his back at me

Just like I did when I crossed his borders and he asked me to stop

Why???why I always end up alone?

Was it too much to expect him to love me?

Was it too much to ask for his love in return.

Please God just end this...please ...or I might end it myself.

I know I was having suicidal thoughts...

I know it is wrong..

It is a decision of a week person....

But when you are left alone in this world...

When your parents leave you when they mean the world to you...

When you have blood of hundreds of people on your hands

When your mate hates you ...

When he finds someone to replace you...

When he considers you nothing but a game for amusement...a toy for him

you can't help but think about ending the game before he breaks the toy

You can't help but finish the game once and for all.

You can't help but surrender....

Surrender to his whims and demands

Surrender your entire being in his name to depart to the world feared and unknown by all.

Xavier's pov

She loves me!!

What a joke

She thinks I will believe her acting and trust her

What a manipulative and fake girl she is....

What if she is saying the truth?

My wolf replied in defence.

He is emotional...I know she is his mate and all but being blind in her love is unacceptable.

He needs to the truth one day...

As I made my way towards the hall I saw a girl with jet black hair facing the windows

As she heard my footsteps she turned around

My breath stopped for a second

The only word that came to my mind was

Beautiful

Deep blue eyes were staring at me with innocence.

I moved towards her but as I took my first step

Ezra's face came in front of me

The day I first saw her eyes while I held her tiny body in my arms

The fear in her baby blue eyes

The mask that covered her face

The way she stepped back when I tried to remove her mask

The way she vanished just like she came

Automatically I closed my eyes

My heart beat accelerated thinking about our first meeting

Her face is embedded in my mind

I can't remove it no matter all the evil things she did.

"..Your highness ..are you okay?"

I heard a small voice and immediately my eyes opened up

She looked concerned

"Yes..it's nothing...come have a seat"

She debated but soon followed me to the couch

"So miss..?"

"Aziza Thompson"

Her name was also beautifull and rare

Ezra is better!!

My wolf again defended Ezra but I ignored him Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"So Azira tell me about yourself....life your family ,friends,hobbies..'

"..ah.... my parents were killed when I was 6 ...I grew up in an orphanage..I don't have much friends

..just Amy who is like my soul sister.."

"What about your wolf?"

I asked trying to get out the information I want

"..s..she hasen't appeared...I haven't told much people about it ..."

"Don't worry you can share it with me...you can trust me.."

"Of course my lord!!.I cannot hide it from you...actually I don't think I have a wolf..I mean I haven't

talked to her ever ..."

She looked genuine

She was not like those clingy girls who were willing to throw themselves at me

"Azira see please don't mind ...but I need to ask you something....It's personal but please just don't

doubt me...actually I am looking for someone and you completely match her looks and all"

She seriously looked at me listening to each word I was saying very attentively

"I just need to know if you have a tattoo ...on your chest...it's... a rare one...?"

As these words left my lips she froze.
