Part 4
"I give respect when it is deserved and I will go to earth when I damn well please!" she yelled turning around and headed towards the door. She froze halfway there and turned around, "What did you do?" she asked accusingly. "I did nothing, you're the one that did this," he said calmly while sitting on their bed. "Me, I did nothing, lets just go and eat breakfast."
Undertaker looked at his frustrated mate and smiled, "Sorry Mari but we can't leave this room until we are on good terms. That is just the way our souls work." He took her small hand, "Let me explain, I understand that this is all hard for you because you were taken out of your realm and overnight you have become one with your mate. But Mari you have to accept that Nero is not like earth. Women here have their place beside their mate, they are respectfully, quiet and obedient but for you it's a bit different because I am the Lord of Nero which makes you the Mistress of Nero. You are extremely powerful but you must be an example, do you understand?"
"Honestly Undertaker, no! I don't understand I can't live like this. I was raised to voice my opinions and defend myself. You want me to stand by your side like a little puppy dog and smile like everything is okay but I can't. Maybe I'm just not cut out to be here, I belong on Earth and you belong with another mate," Mari said a bit annoyed.
Undertaker got off the bed and began pacing while Mari looked at her mate walk back and forth in front of her. He finally stopped and looked at her, "Mari, do you know what a mate is?" She looked down again at her hands, "Yes, it's the person who you pick to sleep with." He pushed her chin up slightly so she was looking at him, "No Mari, a mate is a soul mate, everyone has one and you can't live without finding your soul mate. Why do you think you feel what I'm feeling, why your soul wouldn't let you leave when you were upset and why you knew when I needed you?"
"So what your saying is that we are pretty much stuck together?" she said softly. He smiled down at his beautiful mate, "yes Mari, but we can be happy if you learn your roll here." "I'll try, but I can't make any promises. this is all new to me and it will take me some time to adjust." He brushed his lips across hers and smiled, "that's all I ask, now lets go get us some breakfast."
He held her hand and had them appear in the large ballroom where Paul was waiting for them on the other side of the room. Before Paul was able to walk up to them Undertaker turned to his mate, "remember you are the Mistress of Nero so you will not bow your head to anybody." Mari looked up at him and sent him a message, 'yes my lord.' He smiled down at her and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek and pulled her closer to his massive chest.
Paul finally managed to approach the new couple, "good morning lord and mistress," he said while bowing down to Undertaker and Mari. "Paul, is breakfast ready?" Undertaker asked with great authority in his voice. "Yes lord, but if it is okay with you I need to speak to you in the library," Paul said nervously. 'I'll be right back Mari,' Undertaker told his mate mentally before again kissing her cheek and leaving her alone in the ballroom.
Mari walked around aimlessly waiting patiently for her mate to return by her side, strangely enough he was only gone for five minutes but she already missed him. She was so lost in thought that she didn't here somebody enter the room and walk up behind her. "Well, aren't you a pretty one," said the mysterious voice.
