RECOMMENDED SONG: What if I say that I love you By Alie Gatie ~🖤

Elizabeth was lost out of words. Never in her imaginations, she expected that Alexander was going to compliment her willingly. But she was one kind of stubborn woman. Without giving him any answer, she kept clenching her teeth harder to maintain her poker face and stared away from him.

Alexander's expression dropped after having no answer from her and he began to become restless unnecessarily.

Why was he feeling bothered when she didn't answer him? Isn't that what he wanted so far?

Ayra tilted her head back to call Alexander whose eyes were watching Elizabeth's poker face. Without noticing the odd atmosphere between them, Ayra called out affectionately,

" Alex.. Come here.."

Alexander jolted regaining his casual mood and approached to Ayra whose heart was heavy. She didn't wish to stay apart from her family. Pulling him into a bear hug, the siblings exchanged few words regarding their parents and started to tear up subconsciously. Alexander coaxed kissing on Ayra's palm softly,

" We are always here for you, sister. If the king treats you poorly, just come back to us. You don't lack anything."

Ayra sniffed her nose slightly and nodded before wiping her tears off. Ethan and Aaron soon after showed up from other side with a gloomy face and started to walk over to Ayra.

As soon as Ayra looked at them, she couldn't hold back her emotions and called out softly,

" Daddy..Papa.."

Ethan and Aaron took both sides of her body and comforted with a wide smile,

" It's all right, Princess. We are here for you. Whenever you feel sad, you are always welcome to visit us."

Ayra could only smile back at them bitterly. The pain of leaving all of them were poking in her heart like a knife. She was going to leave with someone who had tricked her to marry him. Nevertheless than that he was one kind of posseive man that she hated all in her life. Despite living her all life in this fancy castle, she never wished to marry a king.. especially a demon king like him..Her expectations were always simple. As long as there was love, she didn't hesitate to embrace the person no matter who she was. She doubted that a man like Cedric proud, arrogant ever knew the meaning of love. Kings like him was always believed in enforcement when it came to claim their woman. She always craved for sweet, tender love which wasn't in Cedric's character.

A soft hesitated sigh escaped through her painted lips as she looked up at the way from where Cedric was making his way with a smug smile. No wonder, he looked extremely happy. His dark reddish eyes captured one deep look of her look one more time before striding up to the stage.

Her both fathers caged her arms from both side protectively and started to guide her towards the stage. Each step felt heavy as if she was paralysed for years. Her long black veil was brushing against the floral path that they made for her. Unlike regular wedding in where people assumed 'Black' color as omnious, Vampire wedding was the exact opposite of it. Being the creature of darkness, they considered Black as the holliest thing. Even her floral path was full of black petals which she never saw before.

Though she was going to marry Cedric now, her thoughts and emotions were unsettled. Indeed dreams have wings. She still remembered those distant memories in where she and Seth planned to have a simple wedding just like average couple. They didn't want anyone in their wedding except their family members. But today everything was different even her groom too. Seth had done something shameful to her at that night but she never stopped memories those feelings that she had for him.

On the contrary, Cedric couldn't stop staring at the woman who was going to be his finally. Even though her face was covered in transparent veil, her purity was still unleashing in the air. He couldn't wait to see her alone for the entire life. He could feel her uneasiness as she took each step towards the stage. But he wasn't bothered at all. He believed his own charm and flirting skills. Sooner or later, she would accept this reality and believe that she has become his finally.

Ayra sneaked through her veil curiously and saw the demon staring at her intensely. His eyes scared her as if he couldn't wait to pounce on his prey. She breathed with difficulty and continued walking until they reached in front of the stage.

Cedric reached out to pull her up and held her palms tightly. She was still shaking lightly in his arms. Cedric held back his chuckle and glanced at her deeply. To show her the utmost respect in front of everyone, he bowed in front of her and pecked over her palms lightly addressing,

" My queen."

Ayra blushed slightly but didn't show any reaction on her face. Later the preist's voice brought them back to sense,

" Please take your places your highness. The wedding will start now."

Ethan and Aaron gave Ayra a final glance before scooting over to sit back on their respective spots. Meanwhile Alexander and Elizabeth moved on the left corner of stage to watch their wedding. Arthur and Nathan were standing just opposite of their direction and didn't pay much attention on the two people opposite of them.

Elizabeth was still mute as before and treated Alexander as air. Alexander couldn't hold back his discontentment anymore and blurted out quite impatiently,

" Elizabeth...I have been talking with you.."

Finally Elizabeth gave him a cold reply,

" I am listening.."

Alexander was speechless again. He gritted his teeth harder and casted her a threatening glare. Elizabeth stubbornly remained unchanged on her expression and heard Priest's chanting vaguely. She could feel his threatening eyes on her but she just didn't care.

Since he didn't care about her, why must she feel bothered what was he thinking about her?

Having her in dense silence, Alexander feel more and more irritated and finally did something unexpected. Without being notified by others, he used his exceptional transporting skill to push her back into the dense darkness behind them.

Before Elizabeth could detect what was going on, she was pulled inside the dark garden behind them. Elizabeth gasped lifting her eyes up to the man who was staring down at her murderously.

She cried out in surprise and blurted through her gritted teeth,

" Brother Alex.. Are you insane? Why the hell did you drag me here? Huh? "

Alexander was truly furious. His vampire eyes were getting darker and darker which showed that how infuriatated was he from inside. He grabbed her shoulders harshly and spitted out on her face,

" Insane? I think that you are the one who is insane Elizabeth. What's wrong with you? Why aren't you answering to my questions?"

Elizabeth was hypnotized under his dark eyes for a while before replying back coldly,

" I don't feel like talking to you. Why are you so mad? Isn't that what you want? I am no longer pestering you to dance with me. Aren't you satisfied with me now?"

Alexander fell in silent before gripping her shoulders more tightly as if he was planning to consume her body into him. Elizabeth tired to release her shoulders from her grip but Alexander did something which was beyond her imagination.

He suddenly bent down towards her lips and captured them into a fury kiss. Elizabeth froze unable to move her limbs as if she was spellbounded.

Meanwhile, Arthur finally noticed that the two persons from the other end was gone. He asked narrowing his eyes curiously to Nathan,

" Where did Alex go?"

Nathan shrugged off telling that he didn't notice them and paid his attention back to the wedding.

Arthur didn't think too much and thought of finding them at once since the wedding didn't end yet. Excusing himself from there, he headed for the direction of their earlier spot to look around.

Over the stage, Ayra stood hanging her head down and heard the non-stop voice of the priest. Suddenly heavy wind started to blow from random directions through the wedding venue. Even the force was impactful that the lanterns started to tremble violently as if they would turn off and bring darkeness anytime soon.

Just when the priest was going to announce thefinal words of their wedding, a dead owl dropped down from nowhere between them. Both Cedric and Ayra jerked off in astonishment before staggering backwards alarmingly. Both of them looked down in astonishment and saw a dead owl struggling to hold on its dear life.

Ayra's face paled even the guests all stood up from their seats in astonishment. The preist stopped spelling and followed their eyes down on the floor. The moment he saw the dead owl, his expression turned horrified.

Closing the holly book from his hand, he started to tremble and shot Ayra a hateful glare who didn't even understand what was going on. Shortly after, the priest only shouted hysterically at the people around,

" This girl is omnious. This wedding can't be done anymore."
