chapter 5: Ash To Ash
"Exuse me." I said, bluntly. She thought it'd be funny to smoke at me but I just gave her a look. Making sure to wrap my arm around Chloe to make sure that she seen my markings. She immediately straightened herself out.
"Who's our lovely guest. Darling you didn't tell me we had a queen here." She said trying to play it off and be polite. A lot of lower ranking we'll try to butter up to the Royals more than one favors with them. I knew that's exactly what she was doing. So whenever she came over ignoring that we completely and trying to shake my hand I didn't remove my arms from around Chloe shoulders.
"Darling that's is Chloe's best friend. Sorry this is my first wife Gabby. Gabby this is Ar..." I interrupted cutting him off. "I'm Aradia Charmed if you we're close to Cleo you know that I'm the childhood Ariel. I'm guessing that you didn't know that since you kind of were pretty rude in front of me. Otherwise you're probably been a little bit wiser or not to do that. Because you would know that we are practically family. Let's get one thing straight I do not tolerate anybody disrespecting my family. And before you get your panties in a wad I wouldn't do that if I were you. They don't call me the mask for shits and giggles. Plus my mother of all and my archangelswould have you by the scruff before I even had to do anything. So if I wouldn't get on my bad side." I smiled. Making sure to get the point across. Kz
"My apologies I didn't know no disrespect. I didn't know she had such a powerful friend. I really met no disrespect I swear. I'm sorry Chloe I didn't mean to be rude. You know you're my sister wife I'm wasn't intentionally being rude." She replied almost being defensive but making sure to keep her cool. I could tell her she was trying to play the victim.
"I just don't like it when you do that you know I love both of you I don't want you to fighting I mean you don't exactly. Hide it the best when you're trying to one up her on everything. I mean you do treat her more like a servant and a nanny sister. Sorry love but I'd rather just straight up tell you that Aradia being dragged into it. I mean darling she is a grand witch. She's going to notice when you're not exactly being honest. And don't start on me. I only said it in front of her because she's. Going to tell you bluntly if I don't. And I can already tell from sisters personality and attitude she probably will not be as nice about it." Her husband warned her and she gave him a side glare I just cleared my throat catching her attention. As I let her know that I did see that.
"He is family too I wouldn't pick that argument if I were you. I'm not okay with anybody disrespecting the uncle of my children either. She's my sister he's with her. Her makes him my brother which makes him family. If you want to prove me otherwise and prove it to me through your actions not by trying to get your way. I not fond of spoiled brats. Other Aristocrats might not might let that slide but me and Death Dealer don't. Especially when it deals with family." I said, and she stopped in her tracks and later and towards my husband wide eyed. When she seen him standing behind her with his arms crossed. She was trembling but still tried to keep her composure and not show that she was absolutely terrified When she seen how not only big but intimidating he was.
"Oh I didn't see you there. I didn't know your husband was with you....." she stopped when she I looked at his face and realized she said he was. She totally had a not in her throat.
"I'm always with my wife. I go everywhere she goes. We're a package deal and I don't respect anyone disrespecting my wife. But trust me I don't get in the way of my wife. She can more than handle herself on her own. So if you want to butter up to anyone if I were you it'd be to her not me my wife doesn't appreciate other women being over friendly with me as I don't like men being overly friendly with her. Unless your friend or family we don't appreciate that type of behavior. He said lowering his head a bit so she could actually seeing his stern expression and the seriousness in his eyes. When she was nervously twirling her hair warning her that. I might take it in the wrong context. She immediately stopped and glance back at me seeing irritated expression on my face.
"No no I swear that was all innocent I do that when I get nervous and I've never been around hunter. Before so of course I'm going to get nervous. And not to offend your husband is the most feared hunter so of course he scares me. I promise I met nothing by it. I swear." She pleaded. Before dashing off not to make me any more mad.
"She's terrified of me isn't she?" I asked, Chloe just laughed.
"Sorry didn't mean to laugh but that was funny you almost made her piss herself Aradia damn. Your scary remind me not to piss me off. You honestly made me feel bad for her. Poor Gabby you just. Did not hesitate to kick her off her pedestal. I mean another she can be an entitled brat and a drama queen. But I never held it against her honestly it's her upbringing I can't blame her. She say used to being treated like the queen of the problem. Like she used to nobody ever tell her no. Not even the higher ranking and even the Royal she's acquainted with. Treat her like a princess just because she's an arch Duke's daughter. Because she acts like a complete angel and is always so respectful. That everyone excuses her behavior. Because of how pretty and nice she is. You kill me sis I love you so much your so merciless. You so savage and vicious. I love this new you man you grew a back bone. What happened to the timid push over. I grew up damn like when we were younger. I always had to fight your battles for you. I had always stand up for you. Because you would never say no to anybody. When did the rolls reverse here." She laughed hugging me I nuzzled her.
"I like you said you once dinner for me so of course I'm going to do it for you. And besides of my status alone she can't touch me. And it's called I learned not to give a shit" I said, kissing her head.
"Well I love it. Your such a bad ass. I'm going to go get us some more drinks anybody want anything else while I'm at it. I can bring you some of your favorite cookies." She said which really caught my attention. She knows to look on my face and chuckled.
"You had me at cookies." I said, and she laughed walking off behind the counter and into the kitchen.
"So how'd you meet your first wife anyways?" I asked.
"Well I met her after she became friends with Chloe. Cuz we were already together we weren't married at the time it was. When she was pregnant and parents took a liking to her because. She would always come with Chloe to all the events. My parents were forcing marriage on a pure blood cell when they Gabby at a Clan Gathering. And seeing how the two of them got along they figured it would be the only way for me to have a pure blood wife would be if she was friends with my partner. And it was only that they would let us get married. So Chloe agreed to it. So we held the wedding for both of them at the same time and afterwards Gabby surgery not doing. Things with her and also started treating her like a servant. Truth be told I think that she was only her friend. Cuz she found out that I was with her. I just don't want them fighting they're both my wifes they both are the mother of my children. And she's technically higher status than me so I can't technically talk back to her. Plus my clan and king would have my head. Trust me I was aware of her past history she was known to date a lot of higher-ups for be with higher-ups in order to get higher status or to get in with the higher ranking ones. You know I mean so she could be a part of their world. She loves the life of Aristocrats. And of course you couldn't marry her ranking aristocrat because if she would they would all know how. She actually Acts and she'd be exposed. And despite her being the way she is I actually found some things about her that I actually do really adore. I mean even though she makes really bad choices she is eight actually does have a lot of potential in her. She just lets her greed get the best of her. And I'm not her only husband she has had other high ranking husbands but they couldn't handle her. So divorce I'm in the room that she's got left and I feel bad to abandon her." He said, honestly.
"Well that still doesn't excuse her attitude. Just because you've been through some shit doesn't give you the right to be a dick. And I'm like most people I ain't afraid of conversation I will tell you how it is trust me it's not that. I don't like her it's not that any of that it's just that I don't like what she does. I promise not to her cuz I guarantee that she does have potential but that doesn't mean. That I'll let her get away with that. I'm sorry I'm going to put people in their place. Some people need to be humbled." I said.
"It'd be nice if someone would why do you think I didn't stop you." He said, taking your drag of cigarette that he just lit. Before offering the husband one which he took and even lit it for him.
"Thanks brother." He said, puffing on it. "Welcome brother." He said, when I noticed Gabby was talking to a bunch of wolves sitting at one of the tables. She was sitting on an alphas lap. Playing out a big ass sob story. Which I could tell when he kept on looking. Over here at her husband and she kept on burying her face in his chest. He was so focused on him he didn't notice me or Bayne. But I recognized him it was Dominique. I could tell he was getting angry by whatever she was saying because he literally got up and started walking over to her husband. "VLAD." He yelled angerly. But before he could even touch him I literally grabbed him by the arm and threw him over me literally body slamming him and I pinned him against the ground. I had his arms pinned against it his back wrapped up with a very strong wire made of the strongest material. That even a pureblood non-human couldn't break.
"Don't even think about it Dominique. Don't Make Me Hurt You." I yelled and immediately stop screaming from underneath me as he glanced up.
"Aradia?" He asked, as I pushed him down as he was trying his hardest to move his head.
"Well who else want to be. Look now despite whatever she told you she's the one in the wrong on this one and by the way. I'm the one that put her in a place not him so. Before you start fighting him he's innocent. I'm the one that said it. I'm the one that made her mad. So if you're going to fight somebody it's going to be got it." I said.
"Oh come on you know I can't do that. You know I never do that to you. You're my friend you know I would never do that. But I would like to know why. So would you please let me up? That hurts." He asked, I did let him up. But he went to lunch at him and my husband. Had to grab him by the throat.
"Bayne?" He said as he looked at my husband.
"Hi Dominic knock it off dude. You keep it up and you're going to be dealing with me. You done. You calmed down yet." He asked, he nodded so he put him down. As soon as he let go he hugged him. Which caught me off guard.
"Wait Dominique know my husband?" I asked.
"Husband wait a minute you're married to pain. He's my cousin. I was one of the very few ones that was allowed to go visit him. I missed him. But damn you got so big I almost didn't even recognize you. But I recognize that deep voice of yours anywhere. I never imagined you two would get married." Dominique said, as Bayne nuzzled him, they play fully nuzzled each other for a minute. Which is what wolves do to show affection. I notice the rest of his pack was watching them trying to figure out what was going on you could tell they really wanted to walk over. But none of them seem to have the guts to do it. I recognize one of the females was Miranda somebody that went to school with. I mean we were more than acquaintances but we weren't exactly very close either we were friends but not extremely close like we had. A couple classes together and we always stop by each other. And even after that you're we still talk all. The time whenever we see each other in the Halls. When I noticed Wendy sitting with them Wendy. Was another girl that knew Miranda but were real close she was part of me and Chloe's click that hung out together their was five of us that were extremely close stayed over each other's houses. Always hung out after school and just did everything together. Which that's what I noticed Quin the girl that was always trying to get into our click. Anytime we did something she wanted to do it. And there she was right beside Wendy. Wendy was such a sweet girl she was to accepting to put boundaries or leave her out. But she was only nice to them and would go out of her way to purposely just be mean to me for no reason. Which drove me crazy. And she always did it in a sneaky way whenever it was around them so they didn't actually like really noticed like. They were just a little bit here and there. But not enough to say anything. When I noticed the other two members. From our click were right on the other side of them which their names were Lindsay and Greta. Which to my surprise they were actually together. So they were holding hands. When Chloe walked out with a tray of drinks and some cookies as she looked over the other girls.
"Hey Chicos you guys going to come over and say hi we got our fifth musketeer back." Chloe yelled, they just looked at her funny.
"Ariel's here with her HUSBAND." She yells in Wendy practically fell over trying to get out of her chair the others popped up and ran over. Almost knocking her over trying to get to me. She practically tackled me trying to get a hug luckily I was able to catch myself but when the rest of them came at me I had to have my husband help me. They literally all fell on me. We just all started laughing.
"Bitch I didn't know that was you. You jerk how dare you make us wait this long to see us. We missed you." Greta said, I laughed hugging them kissing their heads.
"I'm sorry I just needed to get out I'm sorry that. I never got in contact with any of you. Or told you guys what was going on. There was just so much going on that. I didn't have enough time to say anything. I just needed to get out." I said, they looked at me. Their eyes widened when they see what I looked like.
"Damn Ariel your smokin. Damn girl." Lindsey said, whistling I laughed. As they got up bridging down to help me my husband pulled me up before they could. He wrapped his arms around me as he nuzzled me affectionately. As he stood behind me. I reached my hand up cressing his cheek before kissing his cheek.
"By the way if you heard the rumor this is the man that kidnap me. He's my husband like what the heck no he never kidnapped me. No what happened was I signed up for his organization. So he hired me and came and picked up. But it was instant that we knew we were interested in each we started dating one thing about to another and now we're married. And we've been married for five years. Trust me is the best thing that's ever happened to me. So no he did not kidnap me sorry. But Chloe told me that's what my parents were going around saying and I was like the hell. That in another people were saying that I was dead doesn't look like I'm dead." I said, as some other people including Quin. Walked over. Some of the other ones seem like they're familiar like. I had seen them from school too. As I stole a cookie from Chloe. Taking a bite out if it.
"So found out that a girl here's birth name is actually Aradia. Ariel's just her nickname. And this is her husband Bayne. His alot more friendlier than he looks he's a big teddy bear." Chloe introduced him to the rest of her friends as Quin was trying to butt her way in. As he shook their hands. Before he hugged them. Which Quin even tried to get in on. But my husband luckily knew that I wasn't very close with Quinn in fact. He knew that she was kind of mean to me.
"We used to be close to you know." She huffed at me I raised my eyebrow at her. "Close firstly you talked shit on me all the time yes you were nice to them but to me no. A friend doesn't almost push you down the stairs and then says it's an accident. Yeah you might not have actually did that but what you did was no better anytime you would hang out with us and you'd ever hear something about me go around saying crap about it and it wasn't nice either. You'd always twist my words and flirted with my boyfriend. You have no disregard for me as a person. If you haven't noticed I'm a witch you can't hide anything from me. And if you don't believe me how the heck did Kimmy know certain things that said in confidence to my friends and I know that they didn't say it so obviously it had to be you. Plus I actually caught you one time in the library doing it with a Elizabeth. Talking about how bad of a girlfriend I am and then he can do so much better than me. I think not." I stood my ground. She stared me down challenging me until Chloe caught her attention and pointed. At my arm making her notice my markings. She went as well as a sheet realizing that she just insulted a queen.
"Shit." She muttered. "yeah that's what I thought. I don't like confrontation Quinn but you kind of were asking for it. I don't know your intentions. If I were you I'd watch you make an enemy. I never made you one. You're the one that chose that." I said, knowing that she couldn't say anything. Then my husband nuzzled me to get me to calm down. Quin apologized reluctantly. But did apologize. Before me and the girls started talking and she started buttering Up to me. To try to get me to let her in.
As my husband talked with the men. And even the others who hovering around joined each group. They introduced themselves to me. As I realized the ones I recognized were from school. Like Jess, Nelly, and Crystal. I had classes with them while the others were non human mainly mid or low ranking and one other high ranking female the wolf Kings daughter my husband's half sister. She pulled me to the side.
