The innocent reject novel Chapter 19

Ceremony

Aaron's pov

I reached the destined location for my ceremony to see the area decorated with lights and flowers.Around 1000 people were sitting on their seats anxiously waiting for their king's Ceremony to their future queen Jane Austin.

I saw Dan coming towards me

"Did you find her?"

He asked me worriedly

"No"

He went silent hearing my reply and left

He was not acting like he usually did but this was understood because I knew deep down he still cares for her alot.

I faked a smile when people greeted me while I was on my way to the stage.

My Dad was there standing with a smile on his face.

The crowd cleared their way and I saw Jane walking towards me dressed in a beautiful white dress with white lillies in her hands and a smile on her face.

Was I the only one who was not happy?

Everyone was so excited and happy

When I felt numb

Even Jane had a smile that reached her eyes

No matter how much I tried I just couldn't pass a genuine smile

I couldn't be happy because today was the day when I will be separated from that part of me which moon goddess chose for me.

Today is the day when my soul will leave me and the only thing left of me will be an empty shell of a person.

"Good evening everyone!!

Thank you all for joining us today here for a very auspicious occasion!

We all are here to witness the marking ceremony of our King Aaron Alistaire King and his soon to be Queen Jane Mery Austin!!"

People started clapping and hooting on this

Jane's eyes met mine and they held happiness and adoration.

"So starting with the ceremony I want the king and Queen to stand here and exchange their bloodlines by pouring few drops of their blood into this holy archaic "

I slit my wrist and while those drops were falling into the bowl I remembered the day when I mixed my blood with Aleka a few days pack

I could see those black surprised eyes staring at me

Aaron this is not right,we already broke her innocence just don't break her soul!!

My wolf pleaded with desperation evident in his voice

"My lord ,my lord...!"

The person who was conducting this ceremony said

"You need to mix her blood as well"

With the knife in my hand I sliced Jane's wrist in such a way that it wouldn't hurt her.

I missed those sparks which I have when I touch Aleka

But now I guess I have to forget that feeling for once and forever.

Once the blood mixed a yellow light emerged around the bowl locking our bloodlines.

"Next my lord you have to mark her to seal your bond"

I stepped towards Jane

She angled her neck to give me full access of her marking spot

Aaron please!!Aleka will feel her bond break!she will feel that excruciating pain if you mark her!!don't do it

I closed my eyes and all her memories flashed in front of my eyes

The day I first met her ,the day I rejected her,the day I banished her,the day when I found her and the last memory was of her lying on the ground in the dungeons watching me leave .

Roars of thunder echoed in the atmosphere and it felt like even moon goddess was expressing her disapproval

"Aaron what are you thinking?Just do it!!"

My father commanded through the mind link

I opened my eyes to see 1000 eyes staring at me

By marking Jane I will be replacing Aleka with her

First I rejected her now I am replacing her

What kind of a mate am I?
