Chapter 23

Ruthless Vs Blue (Part 4):
"And what if he doesn't have a weakness like you said, a guy like him, I don't think he will have one," Vala said.
"He will, everyone has a weakness, it is your job to find out what his weakness is unless you don't want to free your father and your mother."
"Why can't I just go and plead with him to release my parents, since I am closer to him and he hasn't hurt me, I think he would listen to me when I beg."
"You are a fool Vala, you think he earns that name by just having a nice big heart? Or that if one pleads with him he will easily forgive? Well let me tell you that your thinking is wrong. If you ever mention the demon war to him he will ignore you or imprison you just like he did to your parents with the support and help of Galore, if you are doubting me, ask Ruthless when you see him," Zelik said. "Have a nice evening, and you too Pula." He added and left the apartment.
"You are playing a dangerous game Vala, don't get hurt in the end," Pula said once she was sure Zelik was out of hearing shot.
"I know but I am much smarter than he thinks, I will play along until my parents are released." Vala told her.
"That means you plan on taking Ruthless heart."
"Yes, but that is after I find out if he truly has two heart's, it won't kill him if I borrow one of his Heart's to release my parents," Vala said and then smiled.
"Why are you smiling all of a sudden?"
"I just remembered my first kiss,"
"Oh, you already have your first kiss? So tell me who's the lucky guy, do I know him?" Pula asked with knee interest.
"Yes you do, we just spoke about him right now," Vala said, and Pula's shocked face prompted her to nod her head, "He's the one."
"But how did you get Ruthless to kiss you?"
"I provoked him and he poisoned me mistakenly and for him to remove the poison in my body, he had to kiss me."
"And he did?"
"Yeah, and I love every part of it, do you know the amazing part?"
"No, tell me?"
"I met three of his huge spirits beast and they talk, also we can communicate with each other through our minds."
"Really? That's amazing."
"And another surprising thing is he said we are mates,"
"Then I guess I was right,"
"Yes auntie Pula, but he doesn't want me, he wants to break our mate bond."
"Why?"
"He said I will hurt him in the future,"
"He isn't far from the truth Vala," Pula said.
"Meaning?"
"You are going to steal one of his h a that is cutting right through his chest to rip that out, isn't that hurting him?"
"As far as I know, that will be the only time I will hurt him."
"Why don't you just ask him and save yourself the stress my dear Vala."
"Didn't you hear what Zelik said, he won't answer me if I ask him and do you think standing in front of Ruthless is easy, I use to stop myself from being scared of him whenever I am facing him, it's not that easy standing in front of Ruthless, only his hardened gaze will bring out the fear you don't even know you have in you."
"I just hope you know what you are doing."
"If I don't know what I am doing, I won't be doing it in the first place," Vala said. "Let me go and have my bath, then eat and rest so that I can gather enough strength to face Ruthless tomorrow." She added.

Galore Kingdom:
It was dark and the moon was almost out.
King Galore, Queen Lati, Blue and Ruthless were eating their dinner quietly until Queen Lati breaks the silence.
"I heard what happened in school today, Ruthless. You shouldn't have come to the girl's defense and when you did, you did that right in front of everyone," Queen Vala told him.
Ruthless didn't say a word, he continued eating.
"You know sometimes I just wish you should die and follow your wrench of a mother."
"That's enough Lati," Galore chips in. "Don't bring Flower into this, please."
"Well I will continue to bring her up because her offspring is living with us and I have asked you countless of time where you'd met her and where she's from which you kept mute."
"I have told you I don't even know where she's from." Galore defended himself.
"Thank you," Ruthless said, bringing their attention to him as he stood up and left the chair and left them.
"You can't tell me you slept with a woman without knowing anything of her background," Queen Lati said, reminding Galore of his past, of his unfaithfulness.
"I have pleaded with you to forget about the past, but one thing I am sure right now is that my second son, Ruthless, is not a mistake," King Galore said and stood up from his seat. "I think I shall call it a night." He added and left for his chamber.
"You shouldn't have brought it up mother,"
"Which one?"
"About the girl, Vala, we are friends now." Blue told his mother. "She talked to me without being scared, I like her and her guts, I am glad we are friends."
"Friends? You are the first born and the heir to the throne of the supernatural after your father steps down, you shouldn't mingle with a low class like her."
"Mother, you need to see her, her Aura alone is strong, though not as strong as Ruthless but 90%. She will be a strong Queen when she ascends the throne with me, just imagine her becoming your daughter in law."
"It seems you've chosen for yourself a strong Queen to rule by your side."
"Yes indeed mother, even though she is not pretty, her strong aura covers it all."
"Well then, I can't wait to meet my daughter in law, you know I seek for your happiness and I don't want you to be sad, anytime."
"Thank you mother."
"When you get difficulties in wooing the girl to you, let me know when to help."
"I will mother, thank you, but I plan to woo her into liking me slowly as a friend then to lovers." He told his mother. "And I need a favor from you."
"Tell me son."

The next day.....
Vala was among the first students that came to school early.
She was searching for Ruthless but couldn't see him, rather than going into the school cafeteria, she went to stand in front of the building given to him by the school.
"Hello Vala,"
Twirling around, she met Blue's gaze.
"Hello Blue, what are you doing here?"
"I saw you. Remember what we discussed yesterday. I brought you a chair that looks like that."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Come and show me,"
Blue grabbed hold of Vala's hand and led her towards the school cafeteria.
True to his words, there was a replica of the same chair and Vala removed her hand from his and went to sit down. Blue smiled and sat down on the second one. Not everyone paid them attention.
"I hope you are happy."
"Very, thank you. This is so comfortable." Vala gushes out in happiness.
Blue drew his seat closer to her and he made sure his thighs were touching hers.
Vala then noticed how quiet the cafeteria was and it seemed everyone's attention was on the door, but when she looked behind, there was no one besides the door of the cafeteria.
"Let's eat."

Few minutes later, Blue was walking to his class when Ruthless blocked him.
"Yes, what can I do for you?" Blue asked.
"Stay away from her,"
Without speaking her name, Blue knows who he was referring to.
"And if I don't?"
"Well let's just say you won't survive if I strike. I may not know how to show my emotion but don't dare me. She's my mate and she belongs to me. Do not touch what is MINE."
By now, they were gaining attention.
"In his own territory, even a Hellhound acts like a demi-god," Blue said.
"You are right. I am a demi-god," Ruthless said, "Now get this, in my territory, even gods and demi-gods are mere Hellhounds."
"I know you want to pick up a fight in disguise for the throne, but let me tell you the throne is mine and so is the girl."
"The more you speak about the throne the more you make me pick an interest in it. But sadly I pity you, only the true son of Galore will sit on the throne."
Blue slapped Ruthless hard and Vala slapped Blue back.
