The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 789 - THE DAY OF THE CEREMONY (2)

There was something bothering her about that man, even though the man didn't do anything outrageous and the fact that they had just met for the first time, yet Lilac couldn't help but feel nervous at the very memory of his odd stare. historical

She didn't like that man for some unknown reason.

"Do you know who is that man?" Lilac asked the young servant again because she didn't reply to her question before.

"I am sorry my queen, but I don't have any idea regarding that man. But…" she appeared hesitating to utter her next words.

Seeing this, Lilac came closer and led the young servant to sit down with her on the beautiful red rug.

"What is your name?" Lilac asked her softly, holding her hand lightly to calm her down so she wouldn't feel jittery like this.

"A...Ayana, my queen," the young servant stammered a bit.

Lilac grimaced hearing the title that she added at the end of the sentence, but she couldn't bother with that, because she had something more urgent than to complain about some overwhelming title.

"Ayana, look at me." Lilac put her finger under her chin and raised Ayana face.

Ayana hesitated for a moment, but in the end she did what she was told.

"Ayana, what do you know about that man? Who is he?" Lilac asked her again.

"He is Lord Bayle, he is a lord from the north region," Ayana replied in a very low voice. However, Lilac heard something that caught her attention.

"And what is he? Is he a lycanthrope too?" Lilac narrowed her eyes when she saw how Ayana bit her lips nervously.

"He is the lord of fire dragon, my queen," she replied.

"Fire dragon?" Lilac looked at her with knitted brows.

Fire dragon lived in the north region of this realm, but they were creatures that didn't interact with the other creatures pretty much, especially with lycans.

Since the vow between the lycanthropes and the dragon shifters had mentioned that the dragon shifters were not allowed to shift into their beast forms, both creatures were not on good terms.

There were four kinds of dragon shifters in existence and they all lived in separation from one another. Earth dragon shifters lived in human realm, fire and water dragon shifters lived in this realm while no one knew where the air dragon shifters were.

The last time people got to see them was when they took the vow, but after that they vanished and their whereabouts became a mystery ever since. Some people said they had been extinct because very of them were able to survive the war. And, some said they were living in the other realm.

However, no one knew for sure. Their prolonged absence, thus, created a mystery on their very own existence.

That was all Lilac knew about the dragon shifters.

But, to have the lord of fire dragon shifters here, does it mean that the lord of water dragon shifters will also attending this ceremony?

It was a pity that they were not allowed to shift into their beast form, Lilac really wanted to see a real dragon in it's majestic appearance.

"Does he often visit here?" Lilac asked again.

"No, my queen." Ayana shook her head. "I don't know him until I learned about the guest's names. Mrs. Keira told us to memorize the details of all the important guests."

"Oh." Lilac pulled her hand away from Ayana's chin and contemplated about the new found information.

However, it didn't answer the uneasiness she felt when she met with the dragon shifter.

==============

Raine had two girls, who helped her to wear her white gown for the ceremony that would be held two hours from now.

They were already done with her hair, they chose to tie it up neatly on top of her head into a bun as if displaying her neckline, where Torak's mark would be visible for everyone to see.

When Raine felt embarrassed to showcase her mark by wearing a revealing outfit, they said this was necessary for the mated couple to show their mark in this occasion, to prevent other creatures from messing with them and have ideas they are not supposed to have.

Raine didn't know what Hope and Lilac's gown would look like, but she loved hers. Aside from the fact it was too open for her taste, she liked how the fabric hugged her body perfectly.

Raine felt beautiful in this white gown and wondered what would be Torak's reaction when he saw her in this.

One of the servants helped her put her earings while the other was helping her to tie the belt behind her back, when they heard a low, deep voice from the door, prompting the two of them to step back. They did so while lowering their head.

"Let me help you," Torak said, as he strode across the room. His eyes were locked onto his mate's beautiful reflection in the mirror in front of her. "All of you can leave," he said as he reached for Raine's belt.

Torak was wearing the same white color as her. She thought, it would be weird for man to wear such a color, but somehow, Torak managed to pull it through and the color suited him well too.

Torak once said, white was the color for royal family in this realm, thus no one was allowed to wear this color during the ceremony except them. Therefore, for today, there would be only six people who would wear white color in the entire city.

Raine stared at Torak's reflection on the mirror, her mate looked lean and clean, but the most important part that she couldn't ignore was his strong presence and his dominating aura surrounding him. However, for Raine, it felt comfortable and protective.

"The words beautiful or gorgeous couldn't even describe you now, my love," Torak whispered in her ear and leaned over to kiss her on the mark.

The spark that erupted between them made her shudder in delight, as she smiled bashfully.

Torak pulled out a necklace with white diamond as the pendant and it was shining brightly under the final rays of the setting sun.

"It is so beautiful," Raine watched lovingly as Torak clasped the necklace around her slender neck.

"But, not as beautiful as you," Torak said in soft voice and smiled handsomely when he saw Raine bit her lips to prevent herself from smiling.

"This ceremony is beautiful," Raine said.

"Do you also want one, like this for us?" Torak asked.
