Chapter 192: Reintroduction

Lisa's POV

Lex had sent an email to his grandfather explaining everything that happened when we got to the cave to see the ancient priestess and how she offered us a substance instead of having us do the actual ritual there.

Also requested that they let his mother know that he was fine and that he would be coming back to see her after he had dealt with his father.

We had to leave early the next morning. We already arrived at the airport and quickly checked in and boarded a flight as early as possible, which was taking us back home.

Just as we landed at the airport at home hours later, we could already see private security men all dressed in black waiting in different corners. They all looked angry, and I wondered what exactly they were planning to do to him once they laid hands on him.

"All three of you follow us now," one of the security guards, dressed in an old black suit, said to us as we came down them, and just then an SUV drove right in front of us, and he asked us to get in immediately.

Without hesitation three of us got into the back of the SUV as it drove us out of the airport, taking us in the direction that Alex says was his father's mansion.

It took us a few minutes until we were driving into the gate of a large magnificent home.

"This is your house?" I asked, completely shocked because I had never been there before.

"It used to be, not anymore." Lex responded, and the confidence in his voice dissolved the pain. I could tell that he was ready to face whatever his father was planning behind those walls.

We stepped out of the SUV and onto the threshold as we stood waiting in front of the door, but before Lex could touch the handle, the door flew open, and his father was standing right there.

To our surprise it was not just his father; it was a full gathering. I thought it was a welcome back party, but I could see Selena standing in front of the crowd of over 30 people, each of them holding a glass of wine and looking merry.

"What is going on?" Lex asked as the three of us stepped into the living room that was crowded.

"Welcome back, son. It is your mating ceremony with Selena. I have delayed this longer than it should have been, and I realise now that there is nothing I can do but join the both of you before you go rogue again."

"I was never a rogue father; I was only trying to do what's best for me. How can you possibly put together a mating ceremony in my absence?"

"Because it is about time you get to be trained properly, Lex," he responded, picking up a fork and beginning to hit his glass lightly, calling the attention of everyone.

"No further. I am going to tell you what the time is for. It is an all-time high, you meeting my true mate, and that is Lisa," he said, pointing to me.

"What the heck are you talking about? How can you prove that she is your fated mate?" He asked; now his tone was loud and angry and just, then Lex reached for a knife on the table.

We already consumed the content from the seer, and the instruction was that it was going to review immediately once our blood came in contact.

He slit his palm and gave me the knife to do the same, and just as I did with the blood oozing out over our hands, we held each other's hands tightly.

Just then a chain of red light began to hover around us; it kept going wider and wider until it was rounding all of our bodies and joining us together in a bond that was secret, and not just was it true, now everyone else could see it.

"Now I want you to know that I am never going to be a mate to Selena." Lex said to his father that he was rather silent now.

" everyone the ceremony is over you can go including you Selena. It is over" Lex announced as everyone began to drag themselves out of the door until they at all left including Selena and her parents who were already ashamed of themselves.

"Why didn't you tell me?" His father asked.

Because you won't listen and you never cared. There also one thing" and just then the door opened and police stepped in presenting handcurve to his father.

"You are under arrest for the attempted murder of your ex-wife, who you also went ahead to make a burial for, not knowing she was alive. We are going to be taking you to Boston, where your wife currently is."

Without fighting, without arguing, he stood up and followed the police, but I could not miss the shock in his eyes when he heard that his wife was alive.

Three months later, we were all seated outside Lex's mansion, myself, Landon, Nick, Lex and Susan, celebrating justice as his father was sent to prison to serve a term for attempted murder.

"Congratulations, Alexander," I said to him, calling his full name for the first time.

"I don't know what is going to happen next, but for whatever happens, Lisa, I want to be with you forever," he said to me, taking my hands as he lifted me off the chair and put his hands around my waist as our gazes melted lightly.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too, Lex, and I also promise that whatever happens and wherever we go I am always going to be there beside you, and together we're going to win against everything and anything."

"Okay, can we skip to the bedroom? You need to take this inside because you're already pissing me off," Landon teased. If one were not careful, they would think that he still had lingering feelings for me, but he did not; he was the greatest friend I've ever seen, and Susan was the best sister anyone could ever have.

Lex had given us a huge sum of money and taken us out of this slump; now we live at an estate not far from his mansion. He had fixed things with his mother and forgiven her.

The strangest thing was that one week after we received the house and the money my father called. He said he was checking on us, and that was after over twelve years of his disappearance.

People can always change, and so can situations, but sometimes it is what has the capacity of changing them that they always miss.
