34 The Pas (2/2)
”Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you where you lay traitor” Maximus's deep voice was cold and hard. Marcos tried removing his foot from his throat but it was no use. Maximus was older and always stronger than he. Therefore Marcos decided to use a different approach.
”Ca-Cassandra...” Marcos choked out. Maximus instantly lifted his foot from Marcos's neck only to use it to kick him five feet across the room. Marcos body slid across the floor until it crashed into the far wall
”How dare you speak my mates name to me?!” Maximus roared showing long fangs. Marcos was aware that would anger him but what choice did he have. Vampires mate for life so Maximus would always have a soft spot for Cassandra no matter what she has become.
Marcos tried to stand as he watched his hulking older brother pace the room punching holes in the wall. Of course after all this time he still looks the same with slightly shorter ruffled hair. The two brothers always resembled each other; Maximus was just more of a ladies man than his younger brother. Until he met Cassandra
”Where is she traitor?” Maximus questioned dangerously stepping closer to a bloody Marcos.
”I'll tell you if you help me” Marcos bargained. Maximus gave a dry laugh
”Help you?! After everything you've done?!” Maximus bellowed
”That was a long time-”
”Long time ago my ass! You idiot! Not only did you seal your fate, you dragged my mate down with you!” Maximus voice was so loud it could have rumbled the walls. Marcos heard this all before. It wasn't his fault Cassandra joined his plan. She willing agreed to be a distraction while he ran off with his own mate.
Until everything went to hell on that fateful night
”Cassandra did what she did by choice” Marcos stated confidently. Maximus was on him in a instant. He had him by the throat pressed against the wall
”She didn't know you were planning to kidnap the damn queen! She trusted you to keep her safe! As my brother she trusted you!” Maximus screamed in his face before dropping him to the ground.
Marcos quickly rightened himself. He didn't care what anyone thought about his decision all those years ago. The queen was his mate! That much he knew. They were madly in love and she couldn't stand being with the king any longer.
Queen Acacia came up with the plan to flee to kingdom. Marcos being lovesick went along with it down to the last detail. This was using Cassandra as bait for the king.
The plan failed ending with the queens imprisonment, and their banishment. Cassandra couldn't handle the consequence and hyped out.
Maximus still blames Marcos for the loss of his mate.
Marcos still blames Maximus for alerting the king to their plan.
”If you wouldn't have involved yourself she would have been safe” Marcos said angrily
”If I didn't interfere when I did you would all be dead! You, Acacia, Cassandra possibly even me just for being related to your traitor ass” Maximus spat ”What type of moron thinks he is the mate of a queen that is already mated!” Maximus continued still shocked by past events.
Marcos eyes darkened. The queen is his mate! He would get her back as soon as that filthy king is dead. This brings him to why he's here in the first place.
”I can fix all of it. We can have our status and wealth back. You can get Cassandra back. The version you fell in love with” Marcos added taking a step in his brother's direction. Maximus watched him with suspicion.
”Don't speak in riddles Marcos. State your purpose for coming here” Maximus demanded
”Two years ago I turned a girl. Not intentionally but that's another story. When she rose as a vampire her eyes were not black, nor red, but blue. Shortly after we discovered she is also kinetic-”
