Chapter 5: missing Connor

Ava's POV

It has been two weeks since Connor left , he called the palace and Carrissa but hasn't called me, I was so worried about him but I don't know what to do, as a wolf I should wish him bad luck but as his mate I'm worried sick.

I've been doing some charity work and the cookings in the palace, some maids have become friendly towards me, I spend my evenings in our special place waiting for Connor.

I no longer wanted revenge, I just wanted him near me, in the night i keep turning in the bed missing his warmth 

The Warriors and Connor arrived the next morning, when he got down from the car, we were all waiting for him on the grand stairs, I was about going to him, when Carrissa flew down the stairs into his arms,

Connor looked at her and looked around

I was too happy to be jealous but what Connor did next surprised not only me but all of us.

He smartly disengage himself from Carrissa and looked up to me and spread him arms

I ran down the stairs with so much happiness that I was crying

I ran into Connor arms like a mad fellow, he lifted me up into the air and hugged me tight.

When he finally put me down

"I miss you so much Connor" I told him in a whisper

"If you miss me so much then why are you crying?" He asked teasing me

"Oh stop it you rouge"I said slapping his arm

"Who? Me? Rouge? "He asked innocently 

I smiled at him happily 

Then Connor lowered his head and kissed me

I was so shocked, I wasn't expecting it, it took me a while to respond to his kiss

My insides turned jelly, my legs turned weak that it was Connor supporting me to stand.

We were so lost in ourselves that we forgot we were outside.

"Your highness?" Nicholas said

"Yes?" Connor asked in an irritated voice 

"I hate to disturb you but the prince, I mean the rouge has been readied for questioning" he said.

All at once Connor's countenance changed and it spelt doom, his aura was so dark that I unconsciously flinched, that was when Connor realised I was there and he smiled again.

"Don't look so flushed, I'm sorry I scared you but I'll see you later OK"  He released me and turned to leave but i grabbed his arm

"Connor please don't be to hard on your brother, you're older than him and he's bound to disobey you" I told him

He closed his eyes for a moment

"OK I will remember your words" He said and pecked me on the forehead

The other princess and maids weren't able to comprehend what was going on especially Carrissa she was so embarrassed that she ran away immediately Connor left,

But I don't have time for their gossips I had more pressing matters to attend to, so I left them all standing there

Connor's POV

I smiled till we got to the dungeon, it's been so long that I felt so happy like this even though my so called brother just back stabbed me

A guard opened the door to a small cell room and I felt guilty for sending my mate there anytime I think she should be punished 

I stood face to face with the traitor 

"You traitor!, You betrayed me even when you were given a punishment" I said my aura changing immediately

"You ungrateful wench you dare call me that when in true fact you're the one who betrayed us" Alex said with spite

The guards removed their swords

"Leave him be" I told them

"Since I'm in such a good mood, I'll forget you said that and my mate has told me not to go hard on you "

"His punishment will be 2 months in this cell with little water and food" I ordered

I left the dungeon to look for my mate

I checked the room, kitchen and whole palace, she was just nowhere to be found

Then I asked a maid

"Her highness has gone to the charity home where she helps the children there"

"Charity home?"

I was given the address, on my way down the hall I bumped into Carrissa

"How many weeks has my mate given you off?" I asked my mistress

"Three days your highness which has now expired" she said flirtingly

"Take another two weeks off" I told her bluntly

She was sorrowful, her face said so

I left her standing there and left in the first car, I found, I couldn't wait for a guard to drive me, so I drove myself

When I got to the front of the charity home, I could see my mate with some children playing childishly

I remember my first impression of her when we met, I thought she was too childish for my taste but I later got to like her childish part. 

I didn't know how much I missed her till now, maybe the war with the rouges is a good thing after all, for I can see her love for me has reawakened, I was so happy I felt like releasing Alex right away.

Carrissa's POV

I wiped away my tears time and time again

"You've just made the biggest mistake of your life Ava, for taking what's mine, now see how I make you pay dearly for this" I said with so much hatred for the woman

"You should have stayed in your lane Ava but now you've made Connor embarrass me in front of everyone, now wait and watch what I'll do to you, you certainly have no idea of what I can do, now wait and watch your ruination unfold before you" I said to myself with an evil smirk.

Alex's POV

What have you done Connor, you dare lock me up, now see how I ruin your life Arrogant Elder, you definitely are going to regret  what you have done today, last time I was so eager for revenge that I didn't think it through but now with careful planning I'll ruin your life.
