It's okay wife. Lucas said pulling her closer to himself. Catherine shook her head before pulling away.
"I'm really scared. I don't know why I feel something bad is about to happen". She said weakly and tiredly.
Lucas cupped her both cheeks, his warmth spreading through her body.
"Wife, nothing or no one will separate us. I promise, not even myself. " He said and Catherine just smiled, her tears sliding slowly but she didn't say anything.
Now that you fought your brother, is it because of me? Catherine asked and Lucas didn't hesitate to answer her honestly.
"I will kill anyone that touches you, I will burn the world just for you, I will shake the world just for you and to protect you, and anyone that tries to hurt you will be killed mercilessly. That's a promise wife. I will protect you with my life. He said as he kissed her forehead.
Catherine didn't say anything for a while before nodding. "I also promise to support and stand by you. I will always be here for you Lucas. " She said as she parted her lips invitingly for him to kiss her. He slowly pulled her closer as he captured her lips in a soft, passionate and gentle kiss. They kissed softly, tasting each other's warmth as they sealed their special promise with a deep passionate kiss.
The kiss they shared wasn't one of wild and hungry one, but the one that was filled with warmth and gentleness. A promise sealed with a sweet gentle kiss that was slowly burning them from within.
They kept kissing lost in each other's warmth and pleasures before pulling out. Their breaths hitched and heavy;
Catherine slowly wiped his lips dry,thank you. She finally said with a smile.
"There is no need to thank me. I'm your husband and I will forever be yours. " He said and Catherine just smiled.
"Stay with me please, I'm scared. " She said with a worried expression.
Sure wife. He said and took off his shoes before laying next to her on the bed.
Catherine lay beside him, as he cuddled with her, he wrapped his hands around her waist, holding her firmly as she rested her head on his chest. They remained like that for a while before Lucas heard her stable steady breathing.
" What could have been the dream that she had that resulted her to fear this much? Should he enter her mind and find out?, no he won't do that. He shook his head. He didn't want anything to frighten her more. " He thought as he snuggled tightly around her before he took closed his eyes to stumble upon the land of sleep.
Meanwhile,
King Henry was in his chamber with Queen Riley who was busy massaging his tensed body.
"Isn't it weird that Lucas killed those innocent humans, and also when is he bringing his wife to complete the final ritual, you know how this is important especially for the royal family. " Queen Riley spoke calmly while King Henry sat up and had a thoughtful look on his face.
"You are right, we need to make user she isn't some sort of super natural being that will cause harm for us. "
So should we bring up the matter during dinner? Or till tomorrow morning, and I also thought of it..... Queen Riley said pausing for a while.
She was having a smug look on her face, for some strange reasons she couldn't fathom, why on earth will a human girl get married and then the next moment she was gone, into hiding and then Lucas isn't the least bothered about it.
"What is it Riley?" King Henry asked gazing at his wife. Her green eyes looked slightly different.
"It's about Lucas. What if he is against it? What if he doesn't want us to perform any ritual on his wife? Riley asked.
He wouldn't. He knows the rule, and it must be followed. King Henry said with a little yawn.
"Let me sleep some more before before dinner. " He said and Riley nodded allowing her husband to sleep. Once the king was sleeping,
Queen Riley stood up, adjusted her royal robes before stepping out of the room. She walked towards her daughter's room. The two maids standing in front her daughter's room quickly bowed deeply.
"Welcome your royal majesty". They said in unison slowly opening the door for her to walk in. On reaching inside, Queen Riley almost face palmed her self when she saw her daughter lying all curled up on the bed.
She walked towards her and stand on the bed, slowly tapping her.
Clara who was already dozing off from too much tears slowly opened her eyes, her green eyes looked dimmed as though it was slowly fading.
"Oh my, don't tell me it's because of Oliver you cried this much?" Her mother asked with a raised brow.
Clara closed her eyes and buried her face on her mother's chest.
He doesn't love me mother, he said we are step siblings, that it won't work well and I tried explaining to him that we are vampires and not humans. But he blatantly refused and rejected my love. Am I that bad mother? What should I do? Look at Lucas who is a daylight monster is married and he..... She paused as she tried to firm a coherent sentence. Tears blurred her vision as she couldn't bear the pain of rejection. It was too much. She just couldn't withstand it.
Her love for Oliver was growing bigger and bigger making it difficult for her to focus on any other things.
Riley had a worried look on her face. She hated seeing her daughter looking all pale and distraught. She wanted her elegant, courageous and fearless daughter,not this broken one that was feeling as though her world were crumbling before her very own eyes.
"Oliver will accept you. That's a promise to you. " Her mother said with a firm and determined look.
Clara stared at her mother with her teary face.
"How mother?" She asked with a broken but relief and hopeful voice.
