chapter 6

    There was no way in hell that she would walk into the temple with only his jacket over her. 

    She stood beside him, shaking profusely as she thought about how awry things would go if she was seen like this. 

    She had received enough humiliation and this was going to be the highest. 

    "Why are you still!" Leon snapped at her. 

    She flinched. "I'm sorry,"

    "I'm glad you're learning your manners real quick,"

    She dared to speak. "But it is not right that I wear this before your people. What would they think?"

    Before she could blink, he had her against the stone walls. If she hadn't been wearing his coat, she would have bruised her back terribly. 

    He glared down at her with so much anger and hatred. "You don't fucking speak about a dress when you tore the one that was given to you, get that!"

    "Y-yes," She whimpered.

    "At least, this would be a lesson to you. Do not tamper with the little good I show you because I will always pay back with brutality. No one should tell you by now who I really am," 

    He pulled away from her and straightened his shirt. Lilith cried harder but she dared not let him see or else, she would have her head on a platter before it was time for her to walk down the aisle. 

    "Now, walk with me."

    One of the guards pushed the door open and Lillith didn't miss the look of shock written all over his face as he saw the bright walk through the door with nothing but a jacket. 

    The temple was filled with people who had graced the celebration. Guests and delegates from far and wide had come to witness the union of a great Lycan wolf with his Luna. 

    But the hall felt silent and the slow music that was being played by the orchestra stopped for a moment before being revived. 

    They were all shocked to see a filthy woman dressed in nothing but a coat beside him. People began to murmur. 

    "Why does she look so unkept?" 

    "She looks like she was brought from the forest. He must have married her quickly so as to retain the throne,"

    "Tiyanna would have been better as Luna for him than this wench of a woman. She reeks!"

    As they walked through the Isle, people began to close their noses and contort their faces in disgust. Leon was not the least concerned. All he wanted was a wife and an heir before the allotted days for him expired. 

    As for Lilith, she bowed her head in shame as people laughed at her appearance. Her legs wobbled and all the wounds she had gotten from her being beaten and forced to work under hard conditions began to hurt. 

    Before a tear could slip down her eyes, she wiped it off immediately.

    

    The witch Goddess, Delilah, was taken aback in shock when she saw the lady beside him. What had gotten over Leon was to walk into a hall filled with important people with this woman dressed like she was fit to be a slave.

    He had lied to her about cleaning her up; meanwhile, she was being worked to death!

    She felt her hands tremble with anger as she watched them climb onto the altar. She would have slapped Leon but she couldn't do that in front of everyone. It wouldn't speak good of him. 

    The marriage was conducted quickly and everyone began to exit the temple with murmurs with deep reproval. 

    Delilah pulled Leon to the side. "What have you just done?!"

    Leon looked confused. "What are you talking about?"

    "You're really asking me this!" She thundered, shaking with anger. "Why did you bring her in looking like that?"

    "She tore her fucking wedding dress because she was angry. That's what she gets for being so vile and disrespectful!"

    Delilah closed her eyes and banged on the table in front of her. "If you wanted to punish her, it didn't have to be by humiliating yourself in front of those great people! Do you know how many people came from the Lycan Confederate to witness this wedding!"

    Leon was unmoved by her anger. He turned away from her. "It's not like I care anyway. I am only marrying her for the sake of the throne," Then he suddenly became angry too. "Why are you suddenly angry? Didn't you ask me to provide a woman to marry and put a baby in her? Now, I have done it and you don't think it's enough?!"

    Delilah took a step close to him. "I didn't bring you up this way, Leon. I didn't make you a brutal man. I tried to make you let the anger fade away but it breeds deep within you, getting stronger everyday. I know you are hurt and are seeking revenge but this is not the way! It will only bring more rubbish to you!"

    "News flash, I don't give a damn what they think, Delilah. Last time I checked, my parents were brutally murdered by those fuckers! And they didn't care what rubbish it brought to them," His voice was thick with unshed emotions and anger. "And trust me, I don't care. I am here to exact my revenge and they will not see what is coming to them!"

    Delilah's heart went out to him. She placed her hand on his shoulder. "I understand how you feel, Leon. Though I do not feel what you feel, I know how much hatred you feel for them. I know how wicked those men who killed your parents are. And they still live and roam freely," A small smile covered her face. "Remember what I told you before we came here?"

    Leon nodded. "No matter what happens, you'll always be with me,"

    "I am here and trust me, we are going to get revenge together. They won't see what's coming to them. Now, boy, hurry. It is time to impregnate your new wife. I just want you to show her a little bit of respect. I know this wasn't the way things were mapped out but trust me, things will fall into place."

    Leon left the room. He found Lillith standing in the middle of the empty temple, confused as people littered outside. 

    He knew he wasn't ever going to be attracted to her and the thought of even sleeping with her made him repulsive.

    But all he had to do was go into her once, release his seed into her and hope she got pregnant immediately. 

    So he walked towards her, his boot thudding against the ground and once she turned to look at him, he said.

    "It is time for you, my breeder, to do your duties."
