Chapter 191
“What’s the meaning of this?” Lord Shevek growled as Beauty, Adonis, and Arthur came to a stop before us.
“Lord Shevek.” Adonis started with a slight bow. “My name is Adonis, and as you can tell.. We are hybrids.”
The bow was because Adonis was the more gentleman among the three men; Eros, Arthur and Adonis. Besides this was Lord Shevek’s world after all.
Adonis turned around and faced the crowd.
“Eden does not belong to this Coven. She is a part of our pack, and we have already intiated her as a member of our pack. Thus, she won’t be joining this coven.”
Even though the domineering aura of my friends were subjecting every creature in the assembly, my father didn’t even flinch “How dare you interrupt our initiation ceremony uninvited?” he asked.
“I invited them.” I said softly. And it was loud enough for the whole crowd to gasp in shock.
“You did this?” Lord Shevek growled. “Do you realize what you have done? You brought some people to interrupt a ceremony that has been kept sacred for centuries.” He said.
“I don’t want to be a part of this.” I said.
“Eden is a member of our hybrid pack. She cannot be initiated here.” Adonis spoke out again.
“Be quiet.” Lord Shevek growled.
Adonis growled back.
Hybrids hated commands like that.
The crowd was hooked on the drama. Some of them had retreated to the extreme end of the hall and leaned against it as they watched the events unfold.
Lord Shevek turned to me.
“I expected more from you. Why would you do this?” He said.
I rolled my eyes. What does he mean by expected? “I told you before you started all these that I have no interest in it.”
Lord Shevek growled. “I told you I want you to be my heir.”
“I can’t be your heir, not if I am already a part of another pack. I have to leave. This is not my place.” I said.
“Eden!” My mother called out.
“You can stay if you want to,” I barked at her “but I won’t spend another second here. I don’t want to rule the coven. I don’t want to be a part of killing people just for the fun of it or because they are traitors.” I said harshly.
My mother backed off. Lord Shevek tightened his fists; his eyes grew cold.
“You will complete the ceremony.” He said.
I lifted my chin and stared straight into his eyes. “No.”
Another snap of Lord Shevek’s fingers, and guards flooded the room. They may be a number but the four of us would take them down, leading to a very bloody battle.
“You can’t stop me.” I said even though I didn’t want anyone hurt. I gave my friends a signal to be calm, to not act on their blood thirst. I would try talking to Lord Shevek.
“You won’t leave.” Lord Shevek said. “I want you to stay and perform the rites.” He pointed to the vampire still bond in chains. “You must kill him.”
“I won’t.”

Chapter 191
“You are my daughter and future heir of the coven. Stop acting cowardly. I expect more from you.” He barked.
That word again.
They were all shocked. I noticed Arthur had barely said a word since they stepped in. He averted his gaze.
“That is exactly what I’m trying to make up for. I have lost too much time with you, and I need to make it up with you.” He said softly.
He ignored me and turned to the guards holding the traitor. “Bring him closer. We must continue.” He looked at me. “Then you will meet your mate.”
