Chapter 33: Let’s Consummate

"Say my name again"

He was blunt and commanding with his tone, I still remained frozen in that spot not daring to move. His sudden command was frightening but it also caused a reaction I wasn’t quite expecting, a reaction that caused my body to heat up again, what didn’t help either was my palm resting on his peeking chest beneath his black robe. I lost focus now and leveled my gaze on it, it was so warm and hard, he was big... very big, just how broad is his chest?

"Ava?"

I shifted my gaze back to him instantly and I snapped back to reality, he told me to say his name again. I swallowed hard.

"W-William"

I noticed his chest rose and fell slowly like he was taking a breath.

"This is not working"

"W-What isn’t working?"

"Shall we consummate?"

"H-Huh?" My eyes went wide as saucers, why on earth would he say such a shameless thing?

"It appears you uttering my name is causing unnatural feelings in my body, it’s all the mate bond, and it’s unnerving"

He spoke too soon for my brain to capture... mate bond? What is that? Is that why he so suddenly wants to consummate? Consummate! Like to make love?! Do something as shameless as that?!

I panicked, giving a push on his chest to move my body far away from him and made sure there was a distance between us. I stretched my hand out to him.

"W-We c-can’t do that... I-Its not right!"

He tilts his head to the side like he was just processing what I just said.

"Why? You’re my mate, if I desire your body then it shall be mine"

"I’m not a tool" It came off bluntly from me before I could stop myself, I was suddenly offended at where he was taking this. He was speaking with his brain right now and not with his heart, does he even want to consummate with me? Or was he just saying it on a whim? My hands grabbed the sheets tightly.

"That should happen when feelings are involved, I don’t know much about this but I believe that is the right way," I said not bothering to look at him, I knew clearly consummation meant having children. How could he have children with someone he doesn’t feel love for, that girl at the orphanage has it all different, ever since I saw her relationship I concluded that is how marriages should be, or was there another way?

The silence flooded in again and it was cold and awkward and I just wanted to disappear away from his sight... I do not know why I was suddenly feeling angry with him, what was I expecting? Without asking I knew William does not have any amount of feelings for me, it was very quite evident and I was stupid enough not to see it.

He was only just speaking like everything was a discovery to him that he wished to unravel in spite of it not being a book, with no emotions behind it, does he even feel one? Was I his study subject or what?

Shouldn’t I be relieved he does not have feelings for me? We were equal now because I don’t have feelings for him either. He’s my owner and the idea of being his wife was just a formality he was retaining because of my worth, nothing else, and nothing more.

☆Slight Knock Sound☆

I turned to the door when the sound came.

"Come in," William said and the door spread open with Elvenia stepping in with a tray holding a bowl.

"Master I have brought the tonic for the young miss as you requested"

A tonic? That’s right I was still feeling under the weather a little bit.

William said nothing as he rose to his feet and I finally darted my eyes at him, his aura felt strange right now, in silence he walked out of the room and the doors slammed shut.

Elvenia came to the bed and climbed the little steps that led to it, dropping my tonic on the nightstand.

"Master has requested you stay put here and recover fully"

I only gave a nod.

"There’s no need to keep the lie that you cannot speak"

My blood ran cold instantly and I darted my eyes to her, her expressions were stoic as usual, her obsidian eyes gave me the chills as she looked down on me like I was caught in a trap.

I opened my mouth to speak but she stopped me before I could even make a sound.

"I’m certain the master has ordered you to speak to him only... the voice of a fairy can be very alluring to other magical beings that cannot withstand its tone, it can be chaotic or lovely deadly. I believe only the master can withstand that so I suggest you keep your voice for the master only"

She rammed through and I took in everything she said, I swallowed because I felt I was under pressure now.

"You lied to the Master, do not do that again, Young Miss," she said in a calm threatening tone that caused a shiver to run through me. "You’re our young miss and our master’s mate and I respect you, but I serve the master first and I will not allow anything to shame him"

William flipped the page of the book he was analyzing, it was a new piece of knowledge that popped up in the library, the Holy Library was fond of that almost every day, it was him as the arbiter that keeps check of every new knowledge and catalog it and deem if it was worthy for mortals to obtain, if he considered it dangerous or too powerful for the mortals to wield or any magical beings that might sort it for evil power he would seal them away in the "Northern Wing" where he keeps forbidden knowledge.

But this very day, for the first time since he took over the library, William was having a hard time keeping focus, a certain fairy’s words were ramming his brain every minute...
