Ember was shocked to see Jayden standing up and staring at her with a fierce face. She looked at Jayden's fingers; his nails were sharp and long, and blood was dripping from his fingers. His eyes are coloured like a red fire. His fangs were also long, with blood smeared on his mouth area and fur on his face and hands. Unsteady breathing is clearly audible. Ember felt a shiver down her spine. She almost wanted to run away, but she remembered her dream.

Apparently, all this time, she had been dreaming of Jayden's condition. My dream is similar to this current situation. So it's true, it's all about him. This is what they were hiding before. That's why they couldn't tell me the truth. This is also the reason he said he wants me to accept him as he is. This is also the reason Amayah ran away from him; she was scared to see his appearance like this.

Ember looks at him in the eyes. She can feel the pain, suffering, and burden he carries. Tears fell from her eyes. She was afraid of losing Jayden, as in the dream she had. I don't want him to disappear. There's no reason for me to be afraid; he's my husband. I know he was suffering. I can see through his eyes. I must face him.

"Xander, leave both of us. I want to be with Jayden alone."

Xander was shocked to hear Ember's words. But he was glad Ember didn't run away. Xander closed the door and left them alone.

Ember walked and tried to get closer to Jayden, but Jayden tried to run away.

"Jayden! Please? Don't run."

Again, Jayden was in pain. He bent his body and screamed. Ember came up to him. But, Jayden pushed her to the side and said, "Leave me alone!"

Jayden held back his pain. I don't want you to see me like this. I don't want you to see me as a monster. I am scared you will see my weakness. I am scared you will run away. He expressed his deep feelings from the heart. He didn't dare to say it out loud in front of Ember.

"I will not leave! I will stay here with you."

Jayden was shocked to hear Ember's words. He felt that was impossible.

He came over to her, held her shoulder.

"Aren't you afraid to see me like this? Why don't you run away?"

"I will not run away. I will stay here with you."

"Why? Because you feel sorry for me?"

Jayden raised his voice and stared at her with a curiousity.

He really hopes she's not sympathetic to him.

When Ember saw that Jayden was in great pain, the feeling she felt was not a feeling of sympathy but a feeling of love. It sprouted in her heart. I think I just fell in love with him. My broken heart healed because my heart started to love him, without me realising it. I don't care how he looks. He's already inside my heart. He's my husband, and I'm his wife. Ember reached out her hand and slowly touched Jayden's face. Jayden remains silent and unmoved, staring at her.

"It's not because I sympathise with you, but because I am your wife. I have vowed to always be with you, through the best and worst. I will not break my vow."

Jayden feels his wild heart being tamed and he feels calm. The fiery colour of his eyes slowly faded. Jayden pulled her and hugged her tightly.

"T-Thank you for not leaving me."

Jayden burst into tears. He let out a loud cry. The weight he had been carrying was lifted, and he felt accepted. Ember patted his back, trying to calm him.

"I will not leave you. I will be with you. No matter how you look. I know it's still you. You are still my husband."

Jayden let go of the hug and touched Ember's cheek. Slowly, Jayden's sharp nails returned to normal. Jayden's fangs also returned to normal. They looked each other in the eyes. Jayden felt like he wanted to kiss her. He brought his face closer to her face and kissed her lips. Even though there was a little blood on his lips and area of his mouth, Ember didn't refuse to be kissed by him. Jayden felt he wanted to have her; he felt aroused. He hugged her and kissed her passionately.

Ember felt her whole body feel hot and her lust also rose. She hugged him tightly and kissed him lustfully. This was the first time she felt her body wouldn't listen to her. She felt she wanted more and more. Jayden hugged her waist and moved to kiss her neck. But then he stopped kissing her. Ember looks at him with a little bit of disappointment because he's stopped. Why did he stop?

Jayden carried Ember to the white fur rug on the floor of the room. He lays Ember down and pins her left hand with his hand, and he continues to kiss her lips. His right hand touched her breast and made her moan with pleasure. His kiss went down to Ember's neck and down to Ember's breasts. Jayden starts to undress her slowly. He kissed her tummy, down to her thigh, and as he explored her body, she felt her world seem to stop with pleasure.

"Jayden..."

Jayden stops and looks at her when she calls his name.

"Ember... What is it?"

But she was shocked instead. This was the first time she heard Jayden call her name.

"Jayden, this is the first time you've called my name."

"Do you like it?"

"Yes..."

"Ember, my wife, you look so beautiful. I can't take my eyes off you since the first time we met."

He can't take his eyes off of me. Since the first time we met? His words made Ember blush with embarrassment, and she was happy to hear Jayden's words.

Jayden starts to undress himself while kissing her. Then he pressed his body intimately against hers. After a while, they both felt weak because of the pleasure, so they lay down, hugging each other.

"Are you alright?"

Ember buried her face in Jayden's chest, ashamed of Jayden's question. Ember nodded her head. Jayden smiles and plays with her hair. With the cold, rainy weather being in Jayden's arms, Ember felt warm until she fell asleep in his arms. At dawn, Ember slept soundly. Jayden wrapped her body in a cloth, and he carried her to their room and placed her on the bed. Jayden saw the white rose on the table, and he took the white rose and smelt it. He smiles while he smells the white rose, and then he grabs a vase with water and keeps the white rose inside the vase. He laid down next to Ember and continued to sleep.

Ember awoke in the morning. She looked around and noticed she was already in the room. She wondered if she was having a dream. She took a look at herself. She was undressed behind the blanket. Only then did she know she wasn't dreaming. Jayden, who was still sound asleep, caught her gaze. He examined Jayden's body, which was half covered in a blanket. Unlike what she had seen last night, Jayden's body was normal. Ember closed her eyes, pretending to sleep, when Jayden opened his eyes. He smiled as he looked at her.

"I know you're pretending to sleep."

She was startled and blinked open her eyes.

"H-How did you figure that out?"

"My instincts."

They were staring at each other, and Ember felt embarrassed. Jayden noticed her cheeks turning red and wanted to tease her.

"What's causing your cheeks to turn bright red?"

She touched her cheeks and tried to deny it. "I'm not,"

"Seriously? Let me take a look."

Ember tried to cover her face with her hand when Jayden poked her right cheek. Jayden tickled her, and she giggled. He stopped tickling her and touched her face, then pulled her body closer to his; they were face-to-face. He touched her lips. He moved his lips closer to hers. He wanted to kiss her. Their lips were almost touching.

"Jayden! Are you okay?"

Camilla burst into their room, a worried expression on her face. They were both taken aback, and Camilla was as well.

"Mom! Why did you come in so abruptly?"

"I apologise for bothering both of you. The door is not locked. Go ahead and do what you want to do just now."

Camilla hurriedly exited their room. But, she opened the door once more and said, "Go downstairs once you've finished. Mom and dad are waiting in the living room."

Then she closed the door. Camilla's words caused Jayden to frown. Ember laughed at Camilla's actions and said, "Your mom, she's so funny."

"No, she's weird. Hmmm... Let's go to meet them."

Ember nodded her head, and Jayden fixed his gaze on her.

With a confused face, Ember asked, "Why? Why are you looking at me?"

"Let's take a shower together. Take advantage of this opportunity to save time."

He smiled and carried Ember to the bathroom. She was shocked, but she was happy.

They both came into the living room to see Fabian and Camilla. Camilla smiled cheerfully as she looked at them. Camilla's facial expression caught Jayden's eyes, and he asked, "Mom, why do you look so happy?"

Camilla giggles and looks at Jayden. "That was fast."

Jayden's eyes were wide open in shock when he heard Camilla's words. Ember glanced at Jayden and ran her gaze quickly when she saw Jayden's expression. She found he looked so funny, she held back her laughter. Jayden cleared his throat.

"Mom, what brought you here so early in the morning?"

"We are concerned about you. I believe you're all right now, don't you?"

A sly smile was etched on her lips. My mom really something, at least hide what's inside your head, mom.

"Well, as you can see, I'm fine."

"Have the two of you made love last night?"

Fabian asked them with a straight face. They both felt embarrassed when they heard Fabian's question. My dad also has the same attitude as Mom. How can he ask such a question with a straight face? Don't they feel shame?

"Um... Yes." Jayden gave a hesitant response.

Ember's mind was filled with an unanswered question, and she inquired, "Could you please explain what actually happened? I'm still confused. I saw Jayden's changes last night. But I still don't understand anything that happened."

Fabian looks at both of them, and he thinks this is the right time to tell Ember the truth.

"Both of you came to our home today. We'll tell you more about it later."
