Married to the god of war

Chapter 20

Adelaide

"You thought he was gonna kill you?" Alexandra asked. We've been sitting on my bed since we got back from the forest. I was telling her about what happened. "Yeah, I had my eyes closed and then suddenly I heard his sword and when I looked he had it in his hand. What was I supposed to think?" I answer her.

I was too embarrassed to tell her I had my eyes closed because I thought he was going to kiss me, I don't even know why I closed my eyes I should have shoved him away. "Everything else except him killing you? Why would he kill you?" She asks. I shrug, why would my father treat me like he did, why would everyone treat me like they did? There was no explanation, so I didn't really question it.

"Adelaide, honey I've known Dominic since birth, he is like a brother to me, he would never hurt you or anyone else for that matter, unless you've done something, then you're probably screwed." I haven't done anything except being born, I guess that is my punishment. "I'm kidding honey! You haven't done anything wrong so relax okay? When he loves someone he gives it his all, I promise" she says.

When I hear the word love I stiffen. Love? I don't think that man is capable of love, I should stop judging him. But if my own blood couldn't love me why would a stranger? " I am not loveable, Alexandra" I answer her. I feel tears spilling. "oh Adelaide," she says and hugs me. We sat hugging in silence for minutes. She is so kind, I never expected someone from polemperie to be so kind.

Knock knock! We both move away from each other and look at the door. "come in" I say. Dominic walks in. I gulp. "Alex, can I talk to Adelaide alone for a second?" he asks Alexandra. I never expected a king to ask for permission but here he was asking Alexandra. She nods and gets up. She looks at me with a sad expression and walks out.

He walks over to the window and looks out without looking at me. Am I supposed to say something? "tomorrow you will be crowned as queen" okay... I was just about to ask about further information when he said "which means tomorrow we will get married, officially. Do you understand what I am saying?" he finally turns around to meet my eyes.

"y-yes I think so" I answer. "you think so or do you understand? It is a black or white question." he says. What isn't here to understand? God! He is complicated. "I'm sorry your majesty but I don't think I understand stand what you want me to understand " I answer. My hands are sweaty, I try to dry them by running them over my dress. "how many times do I have to fucking tell you, dont call me your majesty. I'm your fucking husband" he says calmly but aggressive. I can't explain it.

He sighs."it means tomorrow you will lose your virginity," he said. I felt my face heat in an instant. "oh" I say. I don't know how to answer. I knew that this was gonna happen but I guess after all the resting I forgot. Tomorrow? I am not ready at all.  God, I don't want to! How can I avoid this?? Okay, Adelaide! You can do this! It's not bad! He is handsome! He is nice, sort of.

Dominic interrupts my thoughts. " I suppose you already know how? Your folks did tell you? Right?" he asks. Actually no they didn't, but I knew a little from working in the kitchen and listening to the maids. It did not sound like something I would want! "y-yes" I answer. I did not want this talk with him! Besides, I think I know enough. He lets out a loud long breath. "thank God! Well, I will leave you now, someone will get your stuff to our room later. See you tomorrow" he says. Our? Oh God this is not good!
