Free Me 'My' M?nsters

The New Bride 2

King Ashford bon Heist is at the dungeon talking to a rather tattered looking woman. He has two guards beside him.

" You still refuse to do as I say, where is the pendant. If you don't give it to.me.i would make your daughters condition worse than it already is. ( to one of the guards) Yousuf go fetch the girl", he says in anger with a slight hint of frustration in it his voice.

Yousuf returns few minutes later and whispers to king Ashford.

" What ?" l, he asks them angrily.He turns to the woman. " Looks like I have more pressing matters to attend to, but it won't be long before I brake you". he leaves with the guards.

King Ashford follows the guard to Elisa's bedroom and she is nowhere to be seen.

" Send a search party to bring her to me, dead or alive we can't let her roam free especially with all she knows" he queries them in anger and leaves.

PRESENT DAY

Nicklaus is on his way to the Heist mansion. King Ashford receives information of his arrival and suddenly wears a pale look. He immediately summons all servants and guards.

" The Alpha would be honouring us with his presence, I want a feast prepared and everything perfect, if you value your lives that is".

" Yes Your Majesty, we are indeed grateful for the wise words", they eco in unison. There's murmurs of terror amongst the servants as they depart.

A feast is soon prepared and set. King Ashford sends his guards to spread word that no female servant or mistress should be seen once the Alpha arrives.

1 HOUR LATER

Nicklaus enters the Ashford mansion and is welcomed by the king and a selected few. Ignoring the grand welcome, he moves to the meeting room and sits leaving the rest to follow him from behind silently.

"I wonder what this brat wants he couldn't have found out if not he wouldn't come here personally he'd have his servants drag me to the Alpha mansion", king Ashford says to himself.

" What brings the Alpha of this nation to my abode", he says taking a seat opposite Nicklaus.

" How unpleasant? , Nicklaus says looking displeased as he looks around him. " Only welcomed by the distasteful head".he adds

" Do pardon me I didn't feel the need for female presence" king Ashford says with a litter bit of worry in his voice. " Call them in", he signals one of his guards.

The guard arrives few minutes later with his wife, Elizabeth and her two daughters. They all curtsey.

" Greetings to His Highness, the Alpha of our land".They greet him in unison with excitement clear in Natasha's voice.

Nicklaus looks around but doesn't seem to find his nightmare amongst them. " You belittle me", he gives a slight chuckle of mockery. " Where's your last child".

" I'm sure she's of no use to you, Your Majesty", king Ashford says trying to lighten the mood.

" I'm here for a wife I need all my options available", Nicklaus uses as am excuse as it is still unknown to the public how the wife of an Alpha is chosen.

" My most sincerest apologies again, we are currently on the hunt for her she seems to have been kidn*pped", he explains trying to lighten the mood.

" Hunt you say". Nicklaus says with an indifference expression.

"But my daughter Natasha is second to none, she's......."

" I need a wife not dead weight", he cuts in clearing recalling her attempts to attract his attention which he has steadily ignored.King Ashford manager hold in his anger.

" You have three days". Nicklaus says and leaves immediately before he says something that gives Ashford a hint that he's unto him.

Once Nicklaus enters the carriage he starts seeing the visions again and he notifies her location Crimson Bar, he starts to wonder what shell be doing in such a place. He orders his guards to take him there. Soon they reach the bar, Vatler goes in ahead of him and soon Amiah comes out and welcomes him personally. She directs him to a private space.

" I don't need an audience" , he says and signals all his servants to wait behind. He enters inside and soon after a long line of sexily dressed up ladies come in but she doesn't seem to be one of them.

" Don't need this" , he says to Amiah and they immediately leave. " I need a new entrant to serve me". she fetches Elisa immediately.

Elisa enters inside clearly unaware of the identity of the man before her.

" He is a man of great power, if you want us all to go through this alive do anything he says".

" Sit " he orders her as he watches her every movement. She sits immediately, two ladies bring in different varieties of wine, place it at the center table then leave. Without taking eyes of her, he pours her a glass.

"Drink it" he says.' I could probably get information on Ashford from his daughter' . She starts drinking and soon gets tipsy as she continues to gulp on his command.

" Get over her and sit", he says signaling her to his side. She gets up but looses balance and falls back to the chair.

" No", she suddenly mutters. "I don't want to sit with you you're mean " he's taken aback by her reaction but composes himself.

" Name, say your name", he says to her with a hint of revulsion in his eyes.

" Name? It's Elisa Catherine von Heist", she says proudly then chuckles as if mocking herself. " But I did tell Asha its Alisha don't tell her she'll probably tell Father", she says placing her index finger over her lip. Nicklaus stares at her for a while, he refuses to concern himself with her except her father's secrets and her duties as his wife.

" Now tell me what you know about your father's secret dealings" he asks her seeing she's started talking willingly.

" Father doesn't say much to me, but he's ....... a..... really bad man. After all he doesn't even consider me his child".

' What a clear waste of time' he's about to get up and grab her to leave

" Hmm ..... he does have her captive, so he could gain power against some Alpha guy" she suddenly reveals. Nicklaus freezes in his tracks.

" Who does he have captive" he's finally eager to listen.

" The lady in the cell, you silly man" she laughs.

" What Lady?", Elisa suddenly passes out after she feels sharp pain. He immediately walks up to her and treies to wake her up but to no avail. He calls Vatler in.

" Take her to the palace", he orders.
