The priest told them to close their eyes and wait until he instructs them to open them. He took a dagger and cut Lily's palm and did the same for Kayden. Lily shivered at the pain and dropped a tear. Kayden knew all about this process but for Lily, it's completely strange to her. He held her other hand helping her to soothe the pain. The priest took their bleeding hands and robbed it against each other allowing their blood to get mixed. "Look up and make sure the first thing that you see is the moon" the priest instructed. Kayden and Lily did and opened their eyes. The first thing that came into the sight was the moon, they were lucky, it's the auspicious hour. "Now, engrave your mark on her soul" the priest instructed next. This is the climax and most significant part of their ceremony. "Please forgive me Lily, this is going to be painful but it will be quick" Kayden informed her. Lily was wondering. Hadn't he marked her back then in the human world? What kind of mark does
Kayden Diego stretched his hand and touched Lily's chin. The later was uncomfortable with the way Kayden Diego stared at her and her mother in law. Is anything wrong? "When you are done, you can come over for breakfast dear" Royal mother said and quickly Left. Kayden moved closer to her and held her body against his. That day he went to see the wise one alone, he had asked what would be the sign that the power had been tamed and he said the color of her eyes will change. If it changed to black, the colour of the werewolf eyes, then she's safe, but if purple then she's still having other powers that have not been tamed and hence she must not step out. He had to keep mating with her until everything becomes normal. He had taken her several times and was even worried about hurting her. How was he supposed to know she has so much of the power. "Is anything the Matter?"Lily asked. She knew Kayden has suddenly be looking weird. His mother also left in an unsatisfied manner. "Noth
Lily blurted out. She saw through the man and knew that he was lying. Royal mother turned and glanced at lily whose eyes were focused on the man seated on the floor. Kayden Diego and Justin turned and saw Lily and the Royal mother standing at the door of the hall. Lily was looking too serious with the annoyance on her face. The man on the floor tried to turn to see the person who spoke but couldn't. The fetters used in chaining him was too firm to leave him a space to turn. "Come over lordess and prove what you said" Kayden Diego instructed. He watched his Luna as she took majestic steps forward. Royal mother followed and wants to see what would unfold. "This man is a liar my lord!!. He is a spy sent by the vampire lord to find a secret" Lily thundered. Turning to the man she scowl "Why don't you tell his highness that you were sent and failure to be successful will lead to the execution of your wife and children" As she stood in front of the man, she seemed to be x-raying
She arrived so swiftly like a wind. Lily almost thought she disappeared there all of a sudden. Lily recognized her at once. She was the one she met at Kayden's study that night who wants to be the lordess and asked the alpha to chose her( Envy) over her, his mate. Ignoring Lily she greeted"Good morning royal mother". Royal mother felt a little uncomfortable with Envy's approach but didn't put it it to heart. "You are here so early Envy. How are you doing?" Royal mother replied. But Envy was staring at Lily with utmost contempt and the latter spare her no good glance at all. "I am fine royal mother" she answered arrogantly. Royal mother squinted at how unpleasant Envy stared at the lordess. Before royal mother could say jack, Envy spoke "this is the human, your daughter in-law right?". Royal mother was unhappy how Envy spoke. She didn't even pay any respect to Lily as the lordess neither did she even greet her. Lily is not totally human but Envy categorized her completely to
Lily waited and looked at her mother inlaw to state what she wanted from her. Royal mother placed her hands on Lily's shoulders and said: "Promise me that you'll always wear this pendant for me" She requested looking very solem. Just that? Lily thought. She would be more than happy to wear it. If that's the simple request that royal mother was going to make, gladly she would give the promise. "I promise mum. I will always wear it wherever and whenever" Lily promised. She saw the brightened look on Royal mother and wondered if that pendant holds so much significant to her heart. "Thank you. That pendant used to belong to my daughter Xena. It was gifted to her on her last birthday by Kay. But she didn't get to wear it before her death" royal mother explained as the memory of Xena flashed through her mind. "Mum!, See what brother gifted me. Oh! It's so beautiful mum! This is the best gift I've ever received in my entire life" that was Xena's voice travelling in her memory. Three
Kayden Diego sat with his legs crossed as he watched his mate. She looked pretty and smart and holding a sword, she looked like a female warrior. Envy was standing with her sword dug into the ground, waiting for Lily. She was more than happy. She wondered if lord Diego would still keep this damn fool by his side as the lordess when the prisoners fest on her over the night. Lily heard Kayden called out to her telepathically, she paused but didn't look his side. "Defence first and same time master her methods of attack. Then lunch a deadly attack on her unawares". Lily smiled faintly before taking the few steps to stand before Envy. She doesn't know where her confidence came from, but she felt like a champion already. For the first time since meeting Envy, she saw her smile. She really smiled at her? Oh she must have start counting her victory already but she's definitely going to count her losses at the end of the day. The whistle was blown and the fighting officially began:
At this time, they were both just stepping out of the bathroom. Kayden had insisted they bath together. He doesn't feel like taking his eyes off her. She had impressed him greatly. Just that day, she had given him surprises, one after the other. First, she exposed the hidden agenda of the vampire spy, next she talked senses into him and this evening, she proved her worth to the entire werewolf clan and made him proud. He didn't lose face rather she made him respected the more and earn the respect of everyone in the entire clan for herself. His so proud of her and he felt happy that she's his Luna. "How did you fight with Envy and even won the contest. I am the only one in the entire clan that have an advantage over her" Kayden asked out of curiosity. He still can't fathom how strong Lily is to have overpowered that girl. "I can't explain myself. I only remember that I was acting under instincts. I found myself been driven by an inner force. But I would prefer to assume that
She least expected to see Lily sitting high there beside his highness. She looked so little below them. What a high level of humiliation. The one she detested and even refused to acknowledge as the lordess is seated today to decide her fate. Looking at Everyone present, Alpha Kayden commanded "Envy, before this Royal Court, state what your offense was?" Envy was chained and she could only whine in vain to free herself. She looked with hatred in her eyes towards Lily. This woman, she would end her life soon. She had made her ashamed and humiliated, she will make her pay for it. "I have done nothing wrong, your highness," Envy replied stubbornly. She will not accept any more defeat. Even if she was going to die, she would not accept her wrong. She was certain her father had pulled some strings that's why she didn't end up in the Ravens cage the previous night. He would have to pull more to enable her to gain her freedom. "You mean to say you went to the dungeon for committing n
