230: RUIN ME

RUIN ME

Past midnight and after the pray for the moon goddess, the party had turned a little bit wild, as this time, the commoner women would roam around to find a member of royal family or any men with prestigious status to spend the night with. 0

This was their chance to raise their status to be one of their women and lived inside the palace, or having financial support if they like them enough to keep visiting them. It would be great if they could become the mistress and gave birth to a son.

Those mistresses, who could give birth to a son, would have an easy life.

Meanwhile, all their women would retreat back to their own palace or home and continue the party there. Without their men's permission, they were not allowed to step out and expose themselves.

Some women, who was daring enough would sneak their own man into their bedroom, since they knew their mate wouldn't return until morning or noon.

If they were lucky, they would be able to get out of this little rebellion unscathed, but if they were not, they would be killed along with the man.

Currently Della had turned down the king's wish to have her in the other room with his new women. She was sick to see him with countless women and loved for her to watch him having intercourse with them.

"You hurt my hips, I need to rest because this is so painful," Della said sternly, she looked at king Aeon in the eyes, as the king's warrior turned their body, giving them space for this argument.

Aeon was already in bad mood and this was the second times he was being rejected, thus out of rage, he raised his hand and slapped Della across her face, so hard, she stumbled on the cold floor, as blood dripped from her split lips.

Della saw this coming, but she was so stubborn to not be with him to watch his sick sexual activity with those young women half his age!

Gritting her teeth, Della didn't let out any whimper, despite the pain. Her whole body was trembling, not because she was scared of the king's wrath, but because it was hard to contain her own wrath for the way he treated her.

"Keep this attitude and I will have your head one day!" Aeon barked at her. If it was not because of her strong family that backing her, he would have gotten rid of her by now, because recently she had been acting so haughty and denied him so often. "Call Cyan! I want her here now!"

Cyan was the first mistress, she was hailed from Andelus continent and was the mother of the crown prince, Alan. If it was not for the fact that Aeon also enjoyed her company, she would drag Della toward the bedroom and watched him with his new women for two days straight! Because he knew how much she hated it.

One of the king warriors went away to call for the mistress, who had retreated to her own chamber, while Della pushed herself from the hard and cold ground and dusted her dress, she lifted her head with dignity and then turned around, not even giving a single glance toward the king, as if it disgusted her to see him for a mere second.

Della could feel the animosity from the king and felt his hot gaze on her back, but she didn't stop walking, until she reached her chamber and dismissed all of her ladies, she wanted to be alone.

Once it was only her and felt how quiet this room, she collapsed to the bed and cried. She didn't know why she cried. Was it because of the pain on her hips? Or the pain because of the slap? Or is it because she felt so pathetic and sorry for herself to live a life like this? She felt like trash!

She hated it being here, she hated with the tradition, where men could do whatever they wanted, while women needed to stay for their back and call.

Della balled her fists tightly, as she screamed to the pillow, which muffled the sound, but she stopped abruptly when she heard a soft noise from the window and a certain scent hit her so hard.

She immediately sat down and got off the bed, she went toward the window, her heart was beating so hard in her ears, she was scared for the possibility.

But, her fear was proven right when she watched how Aderan sneaked into the room, she felt someone just poured her with cold water. It was so brazen for him to sneak into her bedroom when the king's guards were on standby right behind the door!

"What are you doing here?!" Della hissed anxiously to see how Aderan entered the room, she went to the window and drew the curtain as fast as she could when she was sure there was no one witnessed this. "Are you out of your mind?! Are you crazy!?"

Della couldn't raise her voice, though she really wanted to scream at him. If there was someone saw this and snitched on the king, the consequences would be so dire, not only for her, but also for Aderan and the whole Howling Wolf pack.

Not to mention the problem with Ethan had not yet met with any conclusion and Cane was still trying to find a better way to get a good bargain with the king for his gamma's life, but visiting the queen in her own chamber would have Aderan killed without question.

Cane wouldn't have enough ammo in his hand to save him and the aftermath would only put the alpha in the worst place.

Aderan knew that, but he couldn't stop himself from coming here and meeting her in person, since he arrived, he only could see her from afar and the sight when the king kissed her forceful on the balcony at midnight boiled his blood. He really wanted to tear the king's hand from her and skinned him alive for kissing her.

"You must go from here before someone see you!" Della was panic, but Aderan hugged her and kissed her gently to make her stop blurting out unnecessary words, since he already knew all the consequences and he came here with the knowledge he was betting on his life.

Della wanted to push him away, but she couldn't lie to herself that he was the only person that she wanted. He was the only person that she wished she could be with right now. She felt so safe and right in his arms. And his kiss erased all the pain that Aeon had caused.

Her heart was in the right place whenever she was with him.

It didn't take so long before she gave up and kissed him back. She wished the time stop and she could be with him forever. She would give up everything to be with him, her title as a queen brought her nothing, but misery.

"Take me… take me away from here…" Della whimpered, tears streamed down her cheeks. The pain suffocated her to think that this moment wouldn't last forever when she only wanted to live in this moment with her mate. She had enough, she couldn't care less about anything else. "Take me away from this hell, please… I don't think I can live for another day."

Aderan broke the kiss between them and looked at her intensely, he caressed her cheeks and wiped away her tears, but she couldn't stop crying, her tears wouldn't stop streaming down. She was in the end of her rope and in this dark tunnel, the only light that she could see was him.

"Take me away, Aderan. I will follow you, wherever you go. Take me away from this hell…" Della cried even harder, as her whole body was trembling.

Her splitting lip because of the slap had healed, but Aderan still could see the stain of blood on her chin. He licked her blood and kissed her neck, but he didn't answer her plea.

"Aderan, please… I think I am going to die if I have to live for another day here…" She implored him. This was an impulsive plea, as she was not thinking straight right now, her emotions were all over the places.

"I can't, my love… I can't take you away from here…" Aderan said in defeated tone. He looked at her apologetically.

If Della was sane enough, she would know, both of them knew how impossible it was for them to be together and runaway somewhere within the king's territory to hide. There was no place in this continent that was safe for them.

Della fell on her knees, as she covered her mouth with her hand, so she wouldn't attract any attention from the guard outside with her wail.

"I am sorry, I am sorry for not strong enough to protect you. I am sorry for not being able to do anything right for you…" Aderan hugged her so tight, he could feel her pain and his own pain. He cursed at their situation and how could they be a destined mate when they couldn't be together in the end?

But, Della suddenly stopped crying, she slightly pushed Aderan away from her, her beautiful black eyes filled with determination when she undressed herself and this surprised Aderan when she was stark naked in front of him.

"Ruin me," Della said sternly. "I want you to ruin me. I want you." If she had to die for this, so be it.
