799 THE DAY OF THE CEREMONY (12)

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.
