Silence

"Kai" Sia called, curiosity in her eyes.

"Yeah?"

"Umm... Your big brother... What's his name? When am I going to meet him." She asked. She needed to thank him personally for the gift. It was a life changer!

Kai just sighed. Ofcourse, she would want to meet him. He felt a light pang in his heart. Now that his brother gave them priceless gifts, it was unlikely that he would come for the wedding.

"His name is Kaius and I don't know when you will meet him" he said after a while.

Kaius... It was a nice name. "He's your twin?" She asked.

"Yeah"

"So he looks exactly like you?"

"No, we only looked alike when we were kids, now, we are almost opposites. In fact he looks more like Ren than me since they took after dad." He replied amused.

"Really? What's your dad like"

"Uhh... Definitely not like yours" he replied with a playful smile, a tinge of sadness seeped in, unnoticed by Sia.

"Don't worry, after the wedding tomorrow I will take you to the family house."

Sia nodded. "Then did you..."

"Yeah." Kai answered before she could continue. " It affected me too, but not that much."

"Ohh." She said as she looked at the small tattoo on his ear. It was a small version of the seashells, it looked so life like. " Do I have one too?"

"Ofcourse you do. It's a symbol of our bond. They are couple rings and are very hard to come across. It's only appears once during the winter solstice, buried deep in the ground. You will need more than keen senses and luck to find one. They're also triggered during intimacy, forming a connection with the persons involved. I wonder how Kaius found one. Then again, it was expected."

Intimacy... That's right, the kiss! She was so into the moment that she forgot about that. Embarrassed, she covered her red face.

Kai chuckled. This cub... Their wedding was tomorrow and she was embarrassed over a simple kiss? He wondered what her expression will be after their wedding.

" Hey Sia" he called wanting to tease the cub a little bit. "Come closer let me feel your energy."

Sia's face became even redder, she peaked from her fingers to see if he was serious and moved closer. She turned her back to him again and let him feel her energy.

"Concentrate on it"

This time when she tried she was able to feel a faint well of energy in her. She concentrated on it as Kai moved the energy gently within her. She liked this. She relaxed under his embrace as Kai brought his nose closer to her nape. He inhaled her scent as she closed her eyes. He turned her neck and brought his face upwards, one hand still on her back. He placed his lips over hers as both their energies rejoiced from the contact.

He... Tasted like flavored lip gloss, but as he brought his tongue in she changed her mind. Heavenly... It was heavenly. She thought as Kai parted from her, breathing heavily.

"Not so shy now huh?" He said as he watched her cheeks turn red. He had to stop there, or they might not be able to attend their wedding if he lost control. He didn't know she would taste like this. Her inexperience adding a certain flavor to the kiss. Just one more day Kai, and she is all yours. He thought encouraging himself.

" Come on, we need to get you ready for tomorrow. I can already hear your father nagging me." He said bringing Sia back to her senses.

Meanwhile, in Sia's family residence, things weren't so peaceful.

"So you are telling me now that not only were you so weak to protect your daughter, you also gave her to the attacker?" A man with black hair asked. He had an expression of annoyance on his face. He had a mature vibe and shared some features with Lucifer. He was the Leon's oldest brother. Lemuel.

"Or this could all be a flimsy excuse to hide your daughter's scandal or something like that" another with his chin leaning on his palm suggested. He seemed laid-back with his dark hair covering one of his evil like eyes. He was Luther. Lucifer's second child.

Who could blame them. He just dropped the news like a bomb. No one expected the weakest and one of the youngest descendant to be getting married. Worst of all to someone they barely knew. There was no way to benefit from the situation at all. It was even a loss to some of them who had already already arranged who she was going to marry that will bring them the best benefits.

It was funny how they were treating marriage as a means of profit. But this was Sia they were talking about, if at all she couldn't contribute to the family in anyway, she was a woman so her husband could. Alas it seemed Leon was wiser... or it could all be a coincidence, but they weren't buying it.

Lucifer just watched as the siblings bickered. Until they saw the man before they understood. He wasn't going to intervene.

Leon just looked at his two brothers. He was tired. He really wondered if his mother did this on purpose. At this rate the wedding might not be a happy wedding.

"Look, as much as you find it hard to believe, the truth still remains that Sia is getting married tomorrow. Now it's your choice whether you want to honor the invitation or not." Leon said.

Another person scoffed, Leon didn't know him but just assumed he was one of the members of a branch of the family.

"It is obvious you did this on purpose" he said. Other people followed after him and started throwing accusations at Leon. The hall descended into chaos, nobody able to make out what the other was saying.

Suddenly there was silence. A lone figure looked at them like she was looking at a bunch of pigs. No one knew when she appeared but Leon couldn't be be more happy to see her, he contained his smile when he saw the grim expression on her face. She had a wolf cut that almost reached her shoulders, her eyes that was chilling cold scanned the group. Her presence was hard to ignore, in fact it was suffocating. A black blade rested on her waist, she looked a lot like Lucifer. Then a devilish smile broke on her face and her pale lips moved.

"Say...now my cousin is a slut" she said repeating what the last man just said. She looked at him intensely and snickered. Then her hands were on his neck and POP! He was dead.

Silence... then Fear.
