Chapter 273 - 273 Bitter Sweet Memories

"Is there such a thing as a simple being in the supernatural world? I have been looking for something that was lost for a few years now, and I never knew what it was, at least not until Yuki unsealed my memories. She was the one that I was looking for." Cedric smiled down at Yuki tenderly. "I am a hybrid being. A demon warlock that has a real demon sealed inside his body. As I am never allowed to die, my uncle decided that he would experiment on my body."

"Oh, man. I can imagine what that would feel like. I am not an expert at this, but I know that is not the right that he has down to you whether or not you are immortal. You are still a being of your own right. Does the demon take over your body?" Adam asks this out of curiosity.

"Yeah, but nowadays, he lets me stay awake unless he is trying to get something from Yuki. So you will need to make sure that he does not get her blood. I would rather not suffer from her coming out of my body. The chocolates I eat contain his magic as well as my own. I usually would never eat them, but with Yuki, it is uncontrollable. She needs a lot of blood at times." Cedric looked at Adam.

"I understand. Thank you for telling me. When I meet him, I will ask him some questions." Adam smiled and leans back in the chair.

Cedric nods his head, "I am sure that you will ask him a lot of things." Cedric knew that he would have questions.

Coming from the dream, Yuki had tears falling from her eyes. "It is true that you knew that I would lose my memories, but you suffered from that as well. I herald that you told my parents that you love me so much that it hurts. It explains why you are so much more gentle with me now than when you first bought me." She tried to look at Cedric, but her tears would not stop flowing.

Cedric pushed the hair out of her face. "Princess, you do not need to cry for me. I have l.u.s.ted after you for a long time, and now that I have you, there is nothing that you can do to get away. I always wanted to bear your blood bond. So please do not cry. I am okay with everything that has happened in the past."

"B-but it is not fair. You looked so heartbroken. I did not want to hurt you in my past nor in the future. Why did you agree to do that?" Yuki sat up and wrapped her arms around his neck, crying into her shoulder.

"There was no other option. You know that I would do anything for you in the past and well, that hasn't changed. I will do anything to keep you safe and happy. That is why I am assembling an army of people to help us when we take the crowns in two weeks." Cedric lifted her head up and kisses the tears away. "No more tears, please?"

"If it helps any, Yuki. I will be there for you both. I know that my mate is either Naomi or Lyla, but I can't seem to differentiate who it is. Do you think that is strange?" Adam looked at the couple.

"I have been thinking about that. You know that wolves go nuts when they find their mate? It seems that Lyla is attracted to you, but I don't think it is in the mate way. Whereas Naomi will deny herself anything that she really wants unless I tell her to give in to her d.e.s.i.r.es." Yuki finally stooped crying and was thinking about this, "but then again, Lyla is a little messed up as a wolf, so there is the possibility that she does not understand what the pull is."

Naomi walked into the room. "It is not that I don't feel the pull, but I can tell that there are two mates for Adam. You may not believe me, but I might be your second chance, mate. You can have both of us or just one of us, but remember that I will be able to live with you for all of time, whereas Lyla will die. I am willing to wait until she passes away." Naomi sat down next to Yuki and looked at Cedric.

"I-I do not know. I feel the pull to both of you. I want to choose, but I do not think that I can. It is like half of me belongs to each of you." Adam lays back and looks up at the ceiling.

"That is why I think that you should have both of them; when one passes, the other will be there to fill the void." Yuki looks over at Naomi then at Cedric.

"The choice is yours. We will not push you to choose. Now that the depressing shit has been through. Yuki do you want another memory of would you prefer to wait?" Cedric looked deeply into Yuki's eyes, trying to read her emotions.

"W-will it really be a good memory?" Yuki stutters as she shivers involuntarily.

Cedric used his magic, and the next vial floated to him. "I promise that it will be a good memory."

Hesitantly she takes the vial and looks into Cedric's eyes. "I trust you." Yuki popped the cork off and drank the blood in the vial, and collapsed into his c.h.e.s.t.

~Memory Begin~

Waking p in the evening, Yuki jumped out of bed and scanned the room. Once spotting Cedric, she jumped out of bed and ran to him. "Cedric! What are you doing here? I didn't think that I would see you this week."

Cedric stood u8p and caught her as she jumped into his arms. "I am here to see you, of course. You were sleeping so soundly that I didn't want to disturb you. Then again, I knew that I would not be able to wake you up." He holds her close to him, holding back his emotions.

"I am so happy that you have come to surprise me with a visit. What are we going to do today?" Yuki hugs him then climbs down. "If you tell me, then I can get dressed!" She spins and runs to the closet.

"I thought that it would be nice to go out for a walk in the garden. That way, you will not have to dress too fancy, and we can have some tea in the moonlight." Cedric giggles as she races away in a rush.

"A walk in the garden sounds lovely!" Yuki pulls out a simple royal blue dress. The sleeves were around the arms, and the dress length came up to her knees, while the skirt was slightly ruffled. She holds the dress up to herself and looks at Cedric. "What do you think?"

"It is lovely." Cedric holds back his d.e.s.i.r.e and turns away from Yuki. "I will face away while you change since I already know that you will not let me leave the room." Taking deep breaths, he closes his eyes. 'F.u.c.k, I can hear her changing. This just dangerous, but I think that is why she makes me stay in the room. She wants something to happen.'

Yuki let the nightgown slide down her body and fall to the ground. She slowly slides the dress up and tries to zip up the back. "Cedric, I can't get the zipper done up on my own."

Cedric turns around and walks towards her. Bending down, he kisses her back then does the zipper up. "Sit on the vanity. I will style your hair while you do your makeup."

Following his request, Yuki sits down. She pulls out the different brushes and gets to work on her makeup. "I am still curious why you are at my family home."

"I promised you that I would stay here. I never left and discussed some important business with Ryan and Luna. They had something that they wanted to go over with me." Cedric gently brushed her hair.

Blushing, Yuki smiled in the mirror and saw Cedric intently focussing on brushing her hair. "I am glad that you stayed and kept your promise. I thought that you would have to leave."

"I made you a promise that I intended to keep." Cedric braided three braids, then braided them together. Tying the royal blue ribbon in her hair, he took a step back.

"Your heart is racing. May I have a taste?" She stood up and climbed on the vanity bench. She watched as Cedric walked forward.

"My blood is yours to cherish." Cedric tilted his head, giving Yuki better access. Making sure that she got her fill of blood.

Yuki bit into his neck gently and then drank the warm blood that was pumping through his veins. She could feel his d.e.s.i.r.es and love for her. After getting her fill, she licked the wound. "You know that I am willing to give you myself."

"It is not allowed, Princess. Luna and Ryan would skin us alive. For now, I am happy with just teasing you." Cedric cupped her face with his hands and kisses her on the lips. He licked her lips, waiting to be granted access.
