CHAPTER THREE

Anna’s POV

Throughout the day, Daniel avoided me. He must have been so pissed with what I had said. But I was only expressing my opinion.

“Your majesty, you called for me," the head of maid lady Lucy came into my room.

“I don't want your nuisance. Do whatever you wonder and don't bother about my opinion," I coldly said but she continued to speak.

“I was wondering if Queen Anna would like strawberry cake or blackberry cake. The baker has been struggling with the right flavor to make. And—,"

“He can quit his job if he doesn't know the right cake for the Queen. Don't come bothering me with such a trivial matter. I will not pardon you if you disturb me again," I warned and she left immediately unable to suit my temper.

I retired to my room and had a warm shower enjoying the evening orange-yellow view the sun portrayed.

The was a major version of the moon, it was bright yet harsh and it suited my attitude. Unlike the moon which made me feel cold and alone.

I picked up my phone and dialed a certain number.

“Good evening, my queen,"

“How is everything going?", I asked.

“We haven't found him yet but I have located where he stays,"

“You know what to do next right?, Everything should be clean and perfect. Remember I don't like mistakes". I coldly warned before ending the call.

Everything I had planned was going according to how I had envisioned it. It was only a matter of time before everything would unwrap and I would get everything I have ever wished.

I stood on the balcony until the moon was in the sky.

“No...no... Stop. It was not my fault please don't leave me," I closed my eyes struggling in my sleep. My nightmare came back to and this time in a harsher version.

I was tied up on my throne watching my mother torture me while my father sprawled curses at me.

Everywhere was dark and I was alone fighting my darkest fears. Ravens flew over my head and cursed me with unimaginable words.

I ran towards the door of the throne room only to appear outside the mansion. Daniel stood in front of me while other people behind were hazy.

I fell on my knees begging him but he pushed me away. I yelled in-hearable words at me. I was scared and alone worried that Daniel would leave me.

“No stop," I begged continuously drowning in an endless dark abyss that pulled my soul.

“Kill her", “She is a witch," “liar, she can't even bond with a mate," I heard different voices scream at me.

“It's not true, please stop I beg. I hate it stop," I screamed.

I heard the sound of my door open then stead footsteps approached my bed. My bed deepened and strangely, I felt something different from before.

It was like the room was clouded with some kind of magic that was depressing.

“No, stop please," I heard myself say struggling to open my eyes. I felt so much heat and sweat all over my body.

“Queen Anna, wake up," I heard Daniel urge me. This was not the first time he was seeing me in such a condition. But this time felt different.

For some reason, I was feeling hungry and uncomfortable like I was being pulled into something incomprehensible.

“Wake up Queen Anna", I heard his voice darkly say like he was struggling with something.

‘What the hell was wrong with me?" And what's with this nightmare? I can't feel myself anymore, and why do I feel hot and uncomfortable.' I heard his thoughts and before I knew what was happening, he was kissing me satisfying the hunger within me.

Immediately he pulled away, I opened my eyes staring at him intensively. His eyes were brightly opened and something unfathomable lurked behind them.

“Touch me, Daniel," I found myself instructing him calmly and he followed my order without restraint.

He kissed me again undoing my nightdress at the same time. I was flaming up from desire as he pulled me close kissing and biting my neck.

I wrapped one of my hands on his shoulder and the other in his raven hair giving me more access to his neck.

“Mark me, Daniel," I ordered and he withdrew from me looking confused.

“I can't do that, my queen", he refused but my primal desires said otherwise.

“I'm not asking you to mark me because I want you to but because you are mine now," she said licking the place she had bit me. “Now you are mine Daniel, mark me," I ordered again and he did as I had commanded.

He bit my shoulder causing a little pain before soothing the pain with his tongue as he sulked on the spot he had bitten.

After he marked me, I felt a string bonding us together increasing my desire for him even more. I undressed him as I continued to kiss every part of his body that attracted me.

“Will you make love to me Daniel?" I asked instead of my usual command.

“It's your birthday my queen. Is that what you really want?" He asked me and I flushed looking away from him. “Happy birthday my Queen", he whispered to me kissing my ear.

“Will you marry me now?", I asked and he slightly smiled at me.

“You know I can't marry you, my Queen. I'm not your mate and you only have to marry your mate," he told me the bitter truth regardless of how I felt.

If I could have him for myself, I would have done it a long time. But it was against the queen to marry someone who wasn't mated to her. But I wanted him more than anything. He was the one who made me feel wanted regardless of my arrogant character. I will make him mine.

“I have marked you, Daniel. And I believe you understand what that means," I said and the realization hit me. I was deeply in love with him, beyond control.
