Chapter 83: Chapter 83

Eliana's Point of View

I took a deep breath as I sat in the tub. I was getting ready for the mating ceremony. It was tradition for the future queen to bathe in a bath with different essential oils in it. The bath smelled like different flowers. Catherine told me they were all natural oils that were supposed to be good for my body. I didn't mind. I liked the smell, and the bath felt good, especially after the night I had. After I was finished bathing, I got out of the tub and put on the white gown and then a purple robe. I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed

The door opened, and Tiara, Catherine, Helena, and Ashley walked inside. "Hey, it is almost time. We just came to see if you are ready," Helena said

"Yeah, I am ready," I replied

"You aren't nervous?" Ashley asked

"A little. But I am ready to be fully mated to Killian," I said truthfully. I had been nervous about having to sleep with him in front of others, but I was so happy that we would be fully mated. That was all that mattered

"I am so happy for you, Eliana. You deserve to be happy," Tiara said as she hugged me

"Thanks, T," I replied as I hugged her back

"Alright. It is time," Catherine said

"Okay, I will meet you out there in a minute," I said

"Okay," Catherine said, and everyone started to leave. Ashley stayed behind. Tiara noticed that and stayed as well

"Um, can we talk in private?" Ashley said

"Sure, Tiara, I will be there soon," I said

"Okay," Tiara said after a while. I could tell she didn't want to leave me in the room with Ashley. She didn't trust her, and I was starting to wonder if I should

"What's up, Ashley? How are you feeling after everything that happened?" I asked

"I feel alright.It was a lot, but I am happy it's over and that we both made it out fine. I mean, they took me because they knew we were close," Ashley said

"I am happy you are alrigth," I said

"Are you alright?" Ashley asked

"Yes, I am. Why do you ask?" I replied

"Well, after everything that happened. I thought you would want to postpone the mating cereony. I mean, ,you were nervous about having to have sex in front of everyone anyway. I don't want you to become overwhelmed," Ashley said

"Thanks for your concern but it is unnecessary I want to finish the bond with him," I said

"Are you sure? I am really worried about you," Ashley asked

"I am positive. I should get going," I said and I turned to leave the room but Ashley grabbed my shoulder

"What are you doing?" I asked as I yanked my arm out of her hand

"I am sorry, ,Eliana. I am just really worried,"" Ashley said

"You don't have to be worried. I am fine. Now if you could please get out of my way. I need to go," I said. Ashley moved to the side

"Yeah, sorry," Ashley said and I walked out of the room.

Ashley was acting weird but I didn't have time to think of that now. Right now I needed to get to Killian...

Vera's Point of View

I couldn't' believe what was happening. It was all tha tbitches fault.

"This is all your fault, Vera. You should have left when I told you to."

"I don't have time to listen to that. I need to go talk to Charles," I said

"Why? You think he will help you? I am sure they have already told him what happened."

"He hates that little bitch just as much as I do. He will take my side like he always does."

"He might have done that in the past but I am sure that now everyone is investigating you just like they are investigating him. They are going to figure out what you did to Eliana's mom. Don''t forget Lilian betrayed you and she knows what you did. If she tells him then he will definately be against you. We need to go."

"I am not leaving. Not after everythign I did to get here."

"Than, it is your funeral," my sister said and she dissappeared.

I made my way back to the human territory. When I got back to the house I could hear Charles talking to someone. I waited by the door.

"So you are telling me you had nothing to do with the kidnapping of Eliana?" One of the human council men asked

"No, I had no idea Vera did that. I have too much on my plate as it is to mess with that bitch. I don't know what Vera was thinking," Charles said

"Dad, she was tryign tog et rid of Eliana. there are some things you don't know. SOme things that Eliana doesn't know," Lilian said

"What?"

"Mom is a witch. She has been using a potion to keep my powers from appearing."

"What?"

"Yes, and there is more. Eliana wasn't the one that cuased her mom's death."

:What do you mean?" Chalres asked and my chest tightened. I knew what she was going to say next.

"It was mom. She killed her..."
