Chapter 231 - 231 Maddie's First Gift

Cedric stood up and turned and took the box away from Ivy and disappeared from sight. "Claude! I know you are on the main ship. I have a job for you!"

Claude walked up to the dining room and saw the box in Cedric's arms. "Ryan's handwriting!" He rushed and tried to touch the box.

Cedric moved the box out of reach. "The contents of this box is going to blow your mind and make your blood boil. So you will have to promise me that you will not tell Yuki about the contents of the box."

"Fine! I do not care. I must see what is in the box. Cedric, please?" Claude looks at him pitifully.

Cedric lowered the box into Claude's hands. "Sephira, I want you to keep this idiot here and Lyla you as well do not let him leave the ship." He nodded his head and left the ship and went back to the room. He walked out to the barren room and saw that Yuki was sitting on the floor by the entranceway waiting. "Did I take too long?"

Yuki looked up and the tears fell down her face, "Congratulations on getting Father's ring. I am worried that the other groups will come after me. I do not feel all that safe."

Cedric scooped her up in his arms. "I am sorry that I left you alone for so long. You have nothing to worry about. We will take care of all the clans that are coming for us. We already took care of your uncle's clan. Luna and Ryan would not tell you something that they didn't think that you could not handle. I know that you are still getting your memories but remember that we are the only ones that can make everything happen. I will not fail you."

Yuki looked into his eyes, "Okay, I know what you are saying. She wrapped her arms around his back and leaned into his embrace. "What do I need to do to help out?"

"All I need is for you to do is suspend all your days with me. I will do all that I can to protect you and there is nothing that I love more than you. Yuki, you are my Queen and I will do everything that I can do to help you feel safe and secure." Cedric bowed to Ivy and the two disappeared and appeared in the forest.

Yuki looked around and didn't recognize the area. "Where are we, Cedric?" She reaches up and touches his cheek.

"This is one of the places that we have been to before in our past. Here is where I decided that I would do anything I could to protect you. I want to reinstate that vow to you." Cedric set Yuki on the ground and took her left hand in his. He kissed her ring and then looked into her eyes. "Yuki, there is only one person that can and will forever be mine. I know that you and I have been through a lot and we were separated for numerous years. I would like to ask for forgiveness as that was not what I had in mind for us. Ryan and Luna cleared the rest of the fog in my head so now I remember everything. I want you too to remember everything from our past together as well. All the moments we have together are precious and no one should've taken those from us. Will you forever be mine and mine alone?"

"Cedric, I am yours and yours alone. I will hold you to your vow. It makes me happy to know that you will stop at nothing to give me all of you. My heart beats for you and you alone. I want to spend every moment with you. I am not just saying that. I would not be marrying you if I did not trust you. I am really looking forward to this finally panning out. I am your queen forever and always." Yuki watched as Cedric kissed the ring that he gave her and then kissed up her arm.

Cedric kissed up her arm and up to her collarbone and down the necklace, to over top of her heart. He opened his mouth and bit into the skin above her heart. He let his demon form go and let his demon powers seep into her skin.

"Ah, Ced-ric." The bite made her body heat up and caused in between her legs to start tingling. She felt his essence entering her soul and she hummed in reply form the feeling.

Cedric made sure that enough of his demon essence inside of her before he kissed over the holes that were sealing from his bite. He let the magic now flow through his hand as he traces over where he bit. The bond mark between them glows a deep red colour and then around the edges, a black smoke like fire was added. "Now I have added to our bond. I have been waiting to do this for hundreds of years."

Yuki opened her eyes and hummed in satisfaction and looked up into his eyes. "Cedric I want you. I do not mind you adding to my mark but for some reason, it has made me want you to…"

"Not right now. I will give you my blood. If I touch you in that way there is a chance that I could hurt you and that is not something that I want to deal with." Cedric kisses her on the lips and makes sure that it will take her breath away. "Delicious. I will give you what you want in the morning. We will even come back here if that is what you d.e.s.i.r.e."

Yuki melts under the kiss and after hearing his words she nods her head. "Okay, I will do as you say but I do not want to go back to the ship. Instead, can we go and decorate the hideaway?"

"Of course we can. If that is what you want to do then that is what we will do. Where do you want to go shopping or I should ask what do you want to go shopping for?" Cedric looks into her eyes watching as his demon essence seeps into her body.

"First, I think that we should keep the treasures we received safe. I do not want the scepter or sword to get stolen. As unbearable as it is I want to store the necklace as well. There is no way that I want someone else to get a hold of our treasures." Yuki smiled up at him then leaned forward kissing him on the lips. "As for what we need first that is an easy question... a bed."

Cedric smiles at her words and understands fully what she was getting at. "A bed is a marvellous idea. I also agree to putting the treasures away. The ring is mine and is bound to me so no one will be able to steal it from me. I will put it away so that my dear pain in the a.s.s aunt does not suspect anything."

"Oh, that is right Claudia wants to spend time with me. I do not like her and I want the memories portraying to her next. I have to go to her place at some time. She is expecting me." Yuki scowls deeply.

Cedric wraps his arms around her. "Okay, the first memory is on the ship you will get it when you wake up. That one I know that you will like." He takes them to an alleyway and then leads her out into the open. He leads her to a mall that is open almost all day long. Closing for four hours for guests of a certain status. He walked up to the side door and knocked.

The door opens and a young girl pops her head out. "Ah, it is you Okami Sir. Please come in and your guest is?"

"Maddie, it is good to see you again. This is my fiance, Yuki or Liliana." Cedric introduces her.

"Hello Maddie, I am camouflaged at the moment so please address me as Liliana." Yuki held out her hand to the girl.

Maddie jumps in happiness. "Finally someone that does not care about what I am. Thank you, Liliana. Your secret is safe with me… Cedric… you found the…"

Cedric covered her mouth. "Shhhhhhh, do not say it out loud. As I said I do not want to be found out. For now, we are here for a bedroom set. Preferably assembled."

"Sorry it was the necklace that gave you away. I highly suggest that we get you a scarf." She stopped in a clothing store and she ran inside and picked out a silk and satin scarf. It was a deep red colour with black cats all over it. "This is my first gift to you." She handed the scarf to Yuki.
