?This chapter contains elements of ritual animal sacrifice and pagan rituals and mentions of blood. The reader's caution and discretion are advised? "The Groom and Bride may now enter the ring and let the ritual begin." The priest in a floral tunic and a foliated tiara announced. Iris stepped into view simultaneously as Dom and their breaths hitched at each other's sight, just as much as everyone present's heart stopped for an instant in anticipation of the wedding of the millennia. Dom was showing off his chiseled upper body that had toughened over time and emitted the general dragon heat that could melt everyone watching. Iris, on the other hand, looked nothing less than a pagan goddess of nature with her loose curls flowing with the mild island breeze as she, too, showed off her upper body except what the wrapped strapless foliage top covered. Both of them were wearing ancient markings on the visible naked backs of their bodies as they advanced slowly toward each other, holding

It had been days since Matrimonincipere, the first pagan-ish ritual that meant the wedding had officially begun. And now everyone was so busy doing this or that with the preparations for the next event, which was that day in the evening. The Nuptias-in-Mari ritual, which means 'the wedding at sea'. Dom and Iris had been given separate discussions about what to expect, what to do, and how to do it for this ritual. Water was the first of the elementals that were supposed to gain Şekileus' blessings. Only the future Alpha Kings and Queens go through these elemental rituals before the mating and wedding ceremonies. The past two days had been on a very different level for Dom and Iris. Their newfound link had been in continuous use as they made sure to mess with each other from afar. Just like this very moment, when Iris had gone to shower for the day and announced it to Dom quite explicitly through the mind-link, making Dom get up immediately and plan to shower as well to make the scal

The girls and boys both took Iris and Dom, respectively, to shower, change, and get ready for the feast that was being prepared for them. But in fact, they were all so excited to hear what had happened in the night on the lonely raft at sea that they gained Şekileus' immediate blessings so soon. "So you just talked about your tiaras, fished, and went to sleep? That's it?" Sussane asked dubiously. "Umhm. That's right! Though I believe if we could get pneumonia we would've, with the rain and cold breeze and our weird ritual robes." Iris tried to laugh at their disappointment. "Why does it feel hard to believe? And why do we feel inclined to believe that you are keeping something from this tale?" Freddie asked dubiously. "You can believe whatever you want to believe, but I have already told you the whole truth. Maybe if we had more time at the sea, something that you were all expecting would've happened but not yet." Dom explained, trying not to laugh at their disappointment. "Just l

"Dom, just because we are supernaturals, doesn't give you the right to keep climbing when your wife is stuck!" Iris huffed and wiped the sweat from her brow for the nth time as Dom looked back down and laughed teasingly before continuing his hike. "Seriously, Dom, isn't the reason to do this ritual to help each other, in the first place? Dom!" This time he didn't even look back, only stopped to sip from his water bottle and resumed the tiring hike. Iris glared behind him and tried to free herself, 'Ugh!' It all began a week ago when, after the fire at the feast, the atmosphere was so tense that no one had any idea how to get things back to the cheery celebratory side. A few humans and vampires were dead and many more were injured, among which was the young 'wedding cake bakery' manager, Miss Kate, whom Dom had saved. The question that seemed to be nagging him, as he had discussed with his father, was the reason behind her being there at all. 'What was a bakery manager doing in a f

?This chapter contains elements of Pagan rituals, proceed with caution? As soon as the couple had entered the temple vicinity, the wedding priest rushed to the couple smiling and congratulating them. The maids dressed in pagan Earth-themed costumes and flower tiaras on their heads, took the couple's hiking gear and sweaty jackets and then led them into separate temple chambers to change and get ready for the second part of the ritual. To their surprise, Clara and Nathaniel awaited Iris and Dom respectively, in their respective chambers to ready them like the two rituals before. As soon as the maid left, Clara squeaked, "Eeeeh, I am so happy for you guys! And even happier that, after everything, Nath and I have been allowed in here to do the honor of helping you guys get ready." She had initially opened her arms to hug Iris but seeing her soiled form reeking of forest and whatnot, decided otherwise, concluding, "I am gonna hug you after you have had your bath. For now, just take co

'Nubendi in Aerem', which translated directly to 'Marrying into the air', was just as literal as it sounded. The third elemental ritual of their wedding. Dom and Iris were led to separate chambers to rest while all the members of their family rushed up and down Mount Matrimony to ready the mating grounds for the second last elemental ritual. In no time, Iris and DOm were being woken up and rushed to get ready for the ritual. Dom was once again given a loose robe to hang on his hips and cover his lower half as Nathaniel drew the same symbols on his naked back for the fourth time. Iris' top, on the other hand, had strips to hold it in place this time, and her skirt was of mesmerizing white net strips that rustled in the slightest wind. Their hairs were left to flow as tiaras were fixed on their heads, much more firmly than before. With a deep breath and a sign from the wedding priest, Dom and Iris were led to the mating ground, on the highest point of the mountain summit. Dom helped

It had been two days since the 'Nubendi in Aerem' ritual and Iris just felt her mood dropping with every passing minute. She had blocked her mind-link to Dom, who was now getting worried about her as well as everybody else who came in contact with her. Anyone could sense from miles away that something was troubling her and she was unable to say it, but it was eating her insides. With the next ritual, the final elemental ritual, getting closer, Dom wanted to fix things with Iris and to know the reason behind her downhearted and aloof attitude. He needed things to be as they were before. But Iris was avoiding everyone and somehow only Lily managed to get through to her during mealtimes. Iris was worrying everyone but she was the most worried of all. Lily's words were still ringing in her ears and she had lost her appetite, her sleep, and her usual cheery demeanor that this marriage and mate bond was bringing her. Lily knew what was wrong but she acted as oblivious and worried as every

The crowd gathered as all the guests prepared to send the couple into the Cave of Ignis et Probitatis, which simply translates to, 'The Cave of Fire and Honesty.' The day had begun awfully for Dom as the last two days had been, but when Clara came out of his mate's room with a triumphant smile on her face, he finally relaxed a bit. He had no idea what was going on with Iris, but he felt so helpless and upset that she wasn't okay and she wasn't sharing it with him. He was confused too and everything had made him lose his appetite and sleep. But when Clara gave the good news that Iris was ready to go out and have lunch with him if he didn't probe her, he finally realized how hungry he had been. If he had to trust her to talk to him on her own terms, then so be it. At least she wasn't staying away from him anymore. At least she wasn't having cold feet about their marriage as his mind kept telling him. Dom was kept unaware of Liliana's little trouble-making since she was his sister and
