Selene had paired the two souls for a reason and no matter the extent of the bitterness they had been through or how much effort that Jedrek had put through to break the red string between them, they were still made for each other.
It felt like a hundred years had passed since the first time Lilac held a grudge toward Jedrek, or how he was torn between wanting her and resenting the mate bond between them.
And here they were, wanted to be close to one another. And, claimed their mates in front of everyone, for all of them to see whom they actually belong to.
Even though the ceremony had already ended and the sky was turning darker, this was just a new beginning for the two of them.
"I want you to mark me too," Lilac said softly. She bit her lower lip nervously, yet she knew there was no point to prolong the inevitable. They were made for each other.
Though her voice was barely a whisper, Jedrek could hear the sincerity in her voice.
Jedrek could understand if Lilac wanted to wait or she needed some time to adjust her feelings for him, but hearing her consent calmed his tense nerves.
Yet, there was a warning that Lilac should know in case she was clueless about this and Jedrek didn't wish for her to be in pain without knowing what she would face.
"The process of marking is not easy. It will be very painful," he said in a soft tone, which was very rare to hear from him. "The pain is unavoidable." Jedrek caressed her face.
Lilac took a deep breath. At this point, what else could she do? Avoiding their fate?And moreover, since she knew that Jedrek's wound could be healed by marking her, just like how it healed Kace's, this reason alone was enough for her to still her heart and be more certain with her decision.
"We can wait until you are ready," Jedrek said when he saw her slightly anxious eyes. "This is not something that we should rush."
However, Lilac had other thoughts about it. She stretched out her hands and cupped his face between her small palms.
"I know," she said softly. "But, I am ready now."
Jedrek narrowed his eyes as if searching for any sort of hesitation in her black obsidian ones. However, aside from the nervousness, his mate appeared determined in her decision.
"If you want me to stop, just say it." Jedrek reached for her headpiece and removed the glittering and beautifully crafted crown gently, and placed it on the bed beside them.
Lilac's hair, which was as black as the night sky and as soft as the most fine silk, cascaded down on her back. She looked so graceful at the same time so perfect. Jedrek couldn't believe himself that he had missed to realize this earlier.
An even more unpleasant thought that tried to creep into his mind right now was the very fact that he had killed her in the past, yet that was not the thing that he should focus on now.
He took everything slowly and waited for Lilac if she wanted to change her mind, but it seemed she didn't intend to do so. His mate was staring at him with anticipation and those bright pair of eyes were like a spell that trapped all of his senses, making him want nothing, but savour this moment.
Jedrek slowly untied her robe and kissed her exposed shoulder, his lips softly grazed the curve of her neck, the sweet spot where he would put his mark on her skin, he placed gentle kisses along Lilac's delicate skin.
Yet, he didn't mark her right away.
Jedrek teased her until he could truly feel Lilac to start relaxing against his touch.
Pulling back, Jedrek laid her down on the soft bed, his hands moved to her shoulders, removing her dress.
Lilac whimpered softly under his heated gaze, as she felt exposed.
"It's going to be all right, I promise," Jedrek consoled her while kissing her temple and felt her nodding in agreement slowly.
Jedrek waited and peppered small kisses along her jaw lines until he saw the tension slowly leave Lilac's body before he continued.
==============
Theo opened his eyes when he felt that there was someone else who entered the room, he was immediately on alert before her scent hit him.
It was the witch's scent.
And just like what he had thought, his eyes found Serefina as she slowly walked into his room and rested on the sofa where she used to sit down.
Theo was not surprised to see the witch in his room, this was not the first time that she had visited him and he didn't mind it at all.
Unfortunately, because of the silver that was shoved into his throat, even though his life was no longer in danger and he just needed to rest a few more days to get his strength back, he lost his voice.
The damage was severe and the healer couldn't help him to get his voice back again. Therefore, he was no longer able to talk.
And this was the only reason Serefina often visited him; because he couldn't talk.
When Theo asked her why she would always visit him, the witch replied casually by saying; "I need someone to accompany me, so I will not feel lonely, but most of them would start to ask about what happened with me and I don't want to answer it," and then she looked at Theo, "But, you can't ask me anything, so I like it."
That was a rude comment, but somehow Theo could understand that. However, he was slightly annoyed by her next statement.
"I was the one who helped you, if it was not because of me, you would have already turned into ashes by now. Therefore, think of this as if you are repaying me."
That was what Serefina said and since then, she would come to his room and sit on that seat while staring at the window absentmindedly.
Knowing that the witch just needed his presence, Theo was about to close his eyes when he realized her tattered dress.
What happened to her?
Theo got up from his bed and dr.a.p.ed a blanket over her shoulder.
