The Fight
I came down for breakfast, my head was pounding, ”your grace” my butler Erwin said and bowed deep before me, I nodded toward him ”Erwin” I said before sitting down at the right side of my husband. He looked just as tired and distressed as I felt, we had been fighting before getting to bed yesterday and he then slept in another room. Which only made me even more anxious and the hole reason for our fight and distress was sitting in front of me ”good morning Mother-in-law” I said as friendly as I could. That evil old dragon looked over her cup at my appearance ”good heaven’s what are you wearing?” she snapped. I looked down at my perfect tailored suit, it was a pencil skirt and a short jacket in channel style both in baby pink and with a white shirt underneath my jacket. It was a normal chic suit, but my mother-in-law hated any colour that wasn’t dark and clothes there was tailored or tight. ”your son gave me this suit” I said ”for our anniversary last year”, I quietly took a toast and began putting strawberry marble on it. The evil dragon looked sharply at my husband ”you did what? You know that a Duchess should dress humble are you trying to embarrass our family”. I actually rolled my eyes here we got again, she had already been with us for 3 weeks, when was she going to go home. ”and now where are at it when are you going to have kids? The family name has to continue”, I looked down for a second it was not like we hadn’t tried the last couple of years. I looked at Adrian but he didn’t look at any of us ”I need to go to the stables” he then said and got up, ”I’m just saying that you have been married for 7 years now, and I Clarissa can’t get children then you should get a divorce or at least a mistress”. I stiffened and I felt Adrian’s hand when he put it on my shoulder ”enough mother I’m not divorcing Claire or cheating on her, so stop bothering us”. The old dragon glared angry at us but then she got up ”very well I will go into town, but don’t think this conversation is over”, with an annoyed hmph! She walked out of the room. Adrian sighed deeply, his hand was still resting at my shoulder, I laid mine over his and looked up into his eyes. Adrian was a handsome man, he’s was fit, with a lean body, that could be seen he was using quite some time on a horse. He’s face was handsome, with high cheekbones, lavender blue eyes, a straight nose and dark blonde eyebrow, his chin was edgy but on the elegant side. And then there was that smile, a charming boyish smile that would get any woman’s heart to skip a beat, and that smile he sent me right now. ”so I guess we have a truce?” my husband asked, I smirked and held my toast up ”peace offering”, Adrian chuckled and took a bite of my toast. Then he kissed me his lips tasted of bread and strawberry, his tongue pushed against my teeth gently forcing my mouth open so he could deepen the kiss. I reached up and put my hands around his shoulders, Adrian growled and in a fast movement he grabbed hold of my hips and lifted me into his arm. Adrian let go of my lips and looked into my eyes, his typical lavender blue eyes had darkened to berry blue ”why do we always fight?” he asked. I blinked confused ”I really don’t remember right now”, he chuckled ”me neither”, then he began kissing me again. He carried me upstairs something that was that would make normal human at bit out of breath, but since my husband was a werewolf that was not really a problem. He stopped kissing me when he went up the stairs I rested my head against his warm shoulder we hadn’t had this much physical contact the last 3 weeks. Finally we reached our bedroom and Adrian placed me on the bed before getting rid of his jacket and shirt, I pulled out of my jacket only to ham him gently tackling me. I gasped when he rolled us around and began kissing my lips again, my hole body began tingling in anticipation, then my husband suddenly stopped and nibbled at my neck ”by the way are you coming to the pack run this full moon?”. I stiffened ”yes?”, Adrian looked at me ”are you coming or not, you haven’t been to one since the first two years we got married I miss my Alpha mate”. I blinked ”I can’t shift and you told me yourself you don’t want me to ride like the other mates do”. He glared at me ”of course not you’re a werewolf why the hell would you begin to act like a human?”, I glared at him ”I don’t know maybe because I can’t shift anymore or have you completely forgotten was happened to me?”. Adrian actually got up and drove frustrated a hand through his hair ”why the hell does we always end like this?, maybe mother was right we should just get a divorce”. Ouch that hurt… I could feel tears begin to form ”why you… fine if you want a divorce then get one!”, I angry dried that one tear that began falling down my cheek. Adrian’s eyes widened ”Claire… I didn’t mean”, I got up from the bed ”oh yes you did, you have meant that for a long time you just didn’t have the guts telling me it before”. Adrian looked angry and took a step reward me ”careful…” he said in a low dominant voice, I smacked my hand against his chest pushing him backwards ”don’t you dare have that threatening behaviour against!” I snarled. He actually growled at me and then his Alpha power rolled over me like a powerful wave, surprised I found myself on the floor gasping for breath. I was shocked I had never ever gotten smacked back when Adrian used his power I was to strong for that so why… I looked up in my husband’s eyes. For a second disgust turned up in his eyes ”you’ve gotten weak” he said, I glared at him ”weak? I’m not weak” I slowly got up and smacked him with the pillow from the bed. ”yes you’re weak I can’t have an Alpha mate this weak you no more than a human”, I shook in angry and hurt. ”well it’s not my that I got tortured by those hunters that is your mother’s because she invited then home to us!”. Adrian’s eyes darkened ”how should she know they were hunters she is only a half blood”, I threw my hands out ”they where dressed in black smelling of wolf bane! Even a normal human mate would sense they were hunters, she is not that stupid!”. ”that’s enough you always criticise her” he yelled back, ”I wouldn’t criticism her if you stopped her from emotionally abuse me, she hated the fact I could turn to a wolf and she couldn’t and she told me every time we would have those runs. You have seen her at the table every day getting angry we don’t have a child that is not only my fault!”. Adrian shook his head ”oh so you think its is my fault you can’t get pregnant? Why are you so angry at my mother?”, I glared at him a pounding headache was beginning between my eyes ”I don’t know maybe because we always fight when she is around or the fact she hates me!”. ”she doesn’t hate you, she means well” he yelled ”She. Told. You. To. Cheat. On. Me!!” I screamed , Adrian snarled his eyes turning silver for a second, I threw another pillow at him ”get out!”. ”Clarissa” Adrian growled taking a threatening step toward, I grabbed another pillow ”I said get out! If you are so much on you mothers side you can get that damn divorce, NOW!”, He looked so angry ”fine” he growled and turned around. As soon as he left the room I broke down sobbing, ”you bloody i***t" I sniffled and cried down in my hands…
