"Master" Nova calls out as Axel punches on the punching bag like his life depended on it. "What is it, Nova? I thought I made it clear that I wanted no distractions while I worked out?" Axel states in irritation. "I know master but it---" Axel cuts her off with a growl giving the punching bag a blow that has it burst out, while the sand leaks to the ground. Axel's chest lifted heavily up and down as he stared at it in shock. The last punch felt like the whole energy within him surged giving him more than he could contain. "What just happened Nova?" Axel asked. "The Ring is starting to take effect on your system, producing more energy as the day---" she explains yet he cuts her off. "I get it. How long does the bonding process take Nova" Axel asked. "I am not sure, but according to my calculations, You regain full power when you have reached your full limits" Nova explains just as Liam would have said. "And when does that happen?" "I can't say Master, it all depends on you"

Axel stood by the altar, his eyes fixed on the beautiful bride walking towards him. Raya's uncle escorted her down the aisle, her graceful steps synchronised with the soft music filling the cathedral. Axel's heart swelled with emotion as he took in Raya's stunning beauty—her radiant smile, her sparkling eyes, and her elegant wedding gown. As they reached the altar, her uncle placed Raya's hand in Axel's, his eyes shining with wrath. "Take care of her, Axel," he whispered. Axel's gaze locked onto Raya's, and his voice filled with pure intensity. "I will," he states.There was something with Axles tune and the glare her uncle gave him, which didn't bother him for a sec.He could feel Raya's burning stare at him, and if looks could kill, he would be six inches under the ground. She had dared him and left him with no other choice; he wanted to prove to her that he was the big deal now and that he got to decide her faith. He held firmly to Raya's hands, a smirk lingering on his lips.

Raya stirred up the morning sunlight, hitting her face, causing her to let out a growl, reaching for her phone by the side of her bed, thinking it was her old room. Realisation soon hit her, causing her to bolt up with her eyes wide awake. She looked like someone who had just seen a ghost. Her heart hammered against it's ribcage as she struggled to digest the memories of what had happened lately and down to her wedding night. She pulled the covers off her, her eyes widening as she saw herself dressed in lingerie she doesn't remember putting on. Her lips quivered, hoping it wasn't what she thought it was. Did he strip her off naked? The thought boiled her up, causing her to take her sheets off and walk out of the room, her eyes roaming around in search for Axle's figure. "Axel," she calls out, yet there is no response. She walked into the kitchen with a sticky note on the wall, getting her attention. She walked towards it, pulling it off. 'away for some days, would

"you fucking little slut!" Darius chokes on Raya's throats as he pinned her to the wall.Tears had already began to accumulate at the brim of her eyes feeling the fear cloud her vision. "Let go of me" she cries out a pain. She did see this coming but didn't expect it to be this soon. Initially she was suppose to be married to Darius as it's been a long time thing, and her uncle and his father betrothed them for the greatness of their empire. Mr Mickleson was infuriated when he had found out about Raya's sudden marriage. Her uncle must have said something to convince him to back off and lay low for some time.But Darius wasn't going to have it. He has been trying to reach out to Raya ever since but she's been ignoring his calls and text messages. "You think you can go behind my back and be with that fucker right! You fucking belong to me Raya and not that crap" he roared his eyes burning with fury.She shakes on her head as tears spring out of them, "You know I had nothing to do wi

Axel's face turned beet red with rage as he glared at Asher, his fists clenched at his sides. "He dare to lay a finger on my wife?" he growled, his voice low and menacing. Collins and Asher rushed to intervene cause they knew if he walked out of the house thing would get very messy. Darius he's digged his own grave. Asher stopped him from taking a step. "Axel, calm down dude," he urged, his hands on Axel's shoulders. "Calm down?" Axel repeated, his voice rising. "He touched my wife! He disrespected me!" "Axel, listen to us," Asher pleaded. "If you do something to Darius, it will only cause commotion. It's not worth it." Axel shook off Collins' grip, his eyes blazing with fury. "You think I care about commotion? I care about my wife's honor, and this...this..." He spat. "The coward dared to touch my wife." "Axel, please," Collins tried again. "Think about your Raya, her reputation would be at stake. If you do anything to Darius Raya would get the same share from her uncle." Axe
