Mordecai Creed is next in line to the throne and known to be very harsh, a meeting with the council is something he never wanted to do.

‘Free to be me!’ was something he always said, and to have the life of luxury nothing could hold him back.

'Wake up you fool’ my brother Colt snaps in my head warning me that mom and dad were headed my way,

Jumping out of bed, trying to look as presentable as possible before they torture me with this stupid marriage bull.

I hated the idea of going to the council meeting today or any day.

"I see you are awake, you need a shower and shave,” Mom said as she yanked the curtains opening making me hiss at the sudden sun glare.

“Oh! and son be a modest boy and get rid of the trap in your bed." Her words made me snicker; she thinks I want to marry some weird chick from the human realm.

"Yes, son there will be no more screwing around for you, Marri Hatcher is going to be a delightful bride and you need to show her your respect by not having other women in your bed." Dad order giving me the death stare, he was serious, and here I am standing in just boxers in front of my parents on a day that will change the rest of my party-boy life.

"Do I really had to marry her?” I whined if anyone could help me it would be my dad.

“Just don't see the point in getting married for some stupid alliance." I scratched the back of my head, as they stood shanking theirs.

"Yes, this is a change in the order and that girl is the first known half-breed in the history of Demons, you will marry her or denounce your crown," father growled out before leaving me standing there dumbfounded.

Denounce my crown, my title, my livelihood! It hit like a brick.

Well, Damn! Thanks for dropping the bricks on me, that hit me hard,

"You see the whole Demon Realm rests on your marriage." She smiled, then left me with my thoughts.

I didn't even notice Tracy had already left too, I was completely alone with my thoughts and feelings. Taking time to shower and eat before the meeting, knots in my stomach grew as the car pulled up to the building of Judgement. My doom laid out on the floor, what if she was ugly or fat or worse… My brain wouldn’t shut up, not even for a second.

"Remember if you refuse this marriage you will denounce your title as King." Father snapped giving me one last push in the right direction. Before he disappeared in the rooms of Members.

Just marry her, give one heir, release her.

That’s the plan anyway I thoughts as I sat in the waiting room, I bounced my knee nervously.

I couldn’t lose my title and Crown, I worked too hard to get where I am, if I have to do so shall rather, she liked it or not.

Sitting there for nearly two hours before I was finally called in,

"Prince Mordecai Creed,” the Human Council lady asked for me, shaking off the nerves feeling and whipping my sweating palms on my pants.

Walking into the judgment room, weirdly enough it looked so much like a normal human courtroom. Taking a seat in the chair sitting in front of the Council members.

“You are here for a marriage?" the Vampire Council Member said looking up at me from the file papers,

"Yes" holding my head high, showing as much confidence as possible.

"Good, so you are contracted to marry Marri Hatcher from the Human Realm?” Another Council Member said arching an eyebrow at me as if he knew I didn’t want to be here.

“We will give you one hour to read through her file,” the Vampire Member said as the assistant handed me the file.

Sucking in a breath as the nervousness hit harder, mainly because this would be the first, I’ve seen her. In a photo and in person I’d meet her in person after I agree to the wedding.

Didn’t want this I was halfway thinking about ditching all of this and go get a drink. Rubbing my hand across my head reading through her file, the normal Human bull.

Inhaling a sharp breath as I saw Dad walk my way, that told me, my time was yup to read through the file.

“Prince, what is your verdict?” Dad snapped, squinting at me as if I had a choice in this mess.

"I accept the marriage." I rushed, I just needed to get out of here was planning on drowning myself in liquor tonight for damn sure.

Thinking the hole to the portal where I would transport from my realm here in Demonic Castle to the Human Realm, the journey will take three days tops. One day to reach the Human realm and one day to meet her then one day to return.

Colt decided to join me, I hate to bring my stepbrother. He seems to attract the ladies that are clingy. Sitting at the bar just before I would leave, three shots in and I’m still stalling.

"What do you think she looks like?" he beseeched making me roll my eyes, how the hell would I know. The file didn't include photos Dad made sure I would have no reason to deny, guess they really wanted me to be surprised.

Five more shots in and I couldn’t think of anything else but to make my way to the portal and get this over with. How hard is it to marry a half-bred? Tell her what she obligated to do and get it done.

Watching the red mystic colors swirl until they faded into purple than green, telling us that we made it to the human realm. Taking our Human forms meeting with Bill the portal attendant.

"Sire Creed, what a pleasure to make your acquaintance," Bill said as the portal kissed around us, seeing the Human Realm for the first time in twenty years made me a bit queasy.

"Dude, we're back," Colt squealed like a girl, jumping for joy like he was a kid again, (God help me) growling as I walked quickly out the door, not even waiting for the papers to be signed or the file to read off, I wanted to see my bride to be.

Briskly walking into the Council room being yanked out of my thoughts and stride when I became face to face with this... this girl no older than eighteen if lucky, her small frame and sexy figure made my pants dance.

"Mater Creed, what a pleasure?" the Vampire member said snapping my head up.

"He... Hello,"

Well damn!

I've seen so many half-breeds before, never a Demon-Human, but the mix fit her perfectly, her red hair and horns, nice round face and lean body, no doubt under those clothes was also perfection. Her skin was a light blush color, and her tail swung around from her back.

"Sire Mordecai," someone said, snapping me out of my daze.

"Yes," I was failing to hold my composure.

"Hello, I'm Marri Hatcher," she said smiling holding out her hand for me to take. And taking it, I did, her bright green eyes sprung my groin to stiffing. She was just a bit shorter than me, about to my shoulders.

"Nice to meet you, I am Sire Mordecai Creed,” I’ve never felt as nervous as I was in that moment,

"We are getting married?" she asked, I'm guessing she didn't know I had already accepted it.

"Yes," I said handing her my file, not that I had anything to hide, I wanted the kingdom, and I was prepared to do everything possible to have it.

Taking her hand leading her to my awaiting car, I thought we could chat more in there, but the car ride was very quiet she sat on the far side of the car and rubbed her hands under her legs. Obviously, nervous watching her face light up as the hotel came into view. It was like she’d never seen luxury before, Colt gestured me to try talking a few times, but nothing worked.

"Just wait until you get to Demon Castle," I said watching her hands fly to the window, smiling like a kid in the candy store. I was too tired to be excited right now I just wanted my bed.

"Would I be able to go back home before the wedding?" she whimpered, biting her lip playing with her skirt.

“I’m not sure, we may be preparing for the wedding within the next three weeks, you know that the council requires a marriage by the four weeks of meeting,” I explained watching agree with every word I said.

But there was definitely something off about her, she was too obedient.

"Do you want to ask me anything?" I snapped waiting for the car to stop she was slowly pissing me off with not even trying to talk. How are you supposed to be married if she refuses to even look at me?

Growling as I made my way to the room after checking in, she followed and just stood in the doorway.

“Are you going to come in or sleep in the hallway?” I snapped fighting very hard not to grab her. She hummed and smiled as she sat on the couch, before shooting back to her feet seeing the windows out looking at the city and night lights.

That damn smile was going to be the death of me. Shuffling around the small room until I stood behind her, the smell of her hair, the softness of her skin.

"Master Creed what are you doing?" she rushed trying to push me back, her *** rubbed my growing cock.

"Please, I'm sorry if I did anything wrong, I'm not ready for this" she wiggled more until she felt my hard-on poke her, a squeak escaped her lips.

"Don't worry I only **** in my Demon form" I snapped, adjusting my pants then leaving her there frozen and scared just the way I like my girls. Next time I won't hold back she will take me any way I want.

The next morning, I woke to find Marri gone a note on the table ‘Sire, I wish not to marry you.’

Smiling at least I would have to denounce my crown, she rejected me.

Marri:

Later that night I left to go back home there was no way I could stay with him; I didn’t feel marrying him would doing any good. His file said he was a party boy and that his parents are willing to do anything to make him fit to take the crown.

I didn’t know how I felt, not sure I wanted to marry anyone until my schooling was finished, and I didn’t even want to break up with my boyfriend of four years.

Kyle and I always managed to see each other, even behind my mother’s back all though we were in separate classes but found every opportunity to jump into the janitor's closet for a make-out session. Every day just like today.

"I need you," Kyle says kissing my neck, his kisses did something magical to me. Making me hot and moist…

"I can't you know that," I said pushing him back, I couldn’t go too far I couldn’t give him what is contracted to Mordecai Creed. It would be wrong, even though I don’t love him and may never even see him again.

"Well how much longer do I have to wait?" Kyle says with a hint of anger, he was becoming impatient and I didn’t really blame him, I was too it sucked waiting and wanting someone so special and meaningful.

"We could never, Kyle… I love you so… so much” it hurt so much to have to give up so much.

“I love you too, we don’t have to if you don’t want it ok,” he said placing his forehead onto mine

“I need to go” I jerked away running from him and Mom and that stupid contract I didn’t want anything to do with this shit anymore. I wanted to live my own life, make my chooses, drink beer, eat weird foods, dance *****. Fun teenage/adult things!

When I got home from school, Mom scolds me hard.

“You can NOT deny your destiny, how are you going to make it in this world if you don’t obey the rules.

Rolling my eyes, tired of hearing it!

‘Knock, Knock’ I perked up rushing to the door hoping it was Kyle saying he was sorry, but to my surprise it was Mordecai…

"Miss. Hatcher, what a pleasure?" Mordecai speaks trying to snap her out of her daze.

"He... Hello," I could feel my heart drop to the floor, of course, he knew where I lived.

Damn!

"May we come in?" Mordecai asks flirtatiously.

Mom nodded allowing the Prince of the Demon into our house as if it were teatime.

“I understand Marri may be feeling some cold feet, Sir,” My own mother was plotting against me.

“I don’t want to marry him; I want to be with Kyle.” I cried leaving them sitting there. I was so sure he would follow me, but he didn’t.

Walking and thinking of everything that will happy if I leave with him, I’ll never see my friends or family. Moving into Demon Castle means you never leave alive or at least what the rumors say.

I found myself at Kyle's house

Why was I here?

‘Knock, Knock’

“Marri what are you doing here?” he snapped after letting me in.

I changed my clothes and got warm I saw he was wondering why I was there and what was wrong? I normally don't cry so he knew it was bad.

"Ok, let's talk about this," Kyle says rubbing my back reassuring me everything will be ok but that wasn't what I had in mind.

I kissed him deeply and passionately touching him under his shirt he put away and said: "Are you sure you want this?" I could see the hesitation in his eyes.

"I need something real" I cried rubbing my hand over his stomach, be fingers bounced over his abs.

His lips slammed onto mine we were ripping clothes throwing them around I was ready to give him all of me. I laid ***** on the bed, the rain pouring outside, and the firewood creaking sat the perfect mood for this.

I hissed slightly at the discomfort of his hardness invading my body. The glorious sensations flowed through me. He moved to the rhythm that best worked for both of us.

Being a ******, I didn't know anything, he kissed me in places I could never imaging being touched.

Lying next to him as I fell asleep, little did I know it would be the last time I’ve heard from him.

Waking up to an empty bed, left feeling the sadness and guilt flow through me. Mordecai would never forgive me

Marri:

Nearly two years later; I moved into a new apartment working two jobs, after I left Kyle's house I drove for days before ending up at a little diner where the boss gave me a job for food and to live in the apartment upstairs. Weeks later I was being rushed to the hospital for falling, I broke my leg after being tripped and began early labor, hours later I gave birth to an oddly full-term baby girl, Naming her Tabatha Hatcher.

"My girl, sweet baby girl"

Almost a year has passed Lucy worries endlessly about me.

Working late on a Tuesday night I rush the busing table not paying attention to the table when I ran up to it next.

"Hello, I'm Marri Lee how may I help you?" speaking without moving my eyes from my notepad.

"Yes, close the shop, and let's talk!"

"Excuse me," looking up from my notebook thinking that this person couldn't have found me. Seeing the impossible instantly over token by fear took over I turn to run failing as I felt his arms around my waist whispering in my ear "Do as you're told"

Sometime later, I sat at the table with thoughts racing miles a minute, "How did you find me?"

"I will ask the damn questions, why did you run away?" He demanded

"I'm not answering you, you don't own me" trying to act strong didn’t help much.

"Oh... But I do, WIFE!" jumping to the sound of his hand slamming on the table.

"So again, why did you run away? You would've had more freedom but now I'll have to chain you up until I can trust you." Mordecai says with a demonic tone in his voice, my body shivered in fear.

"Why did Lucy tell you?" nervously saying twitching my fingernails.

"Yea, well the idea of marrying a Demon scared me," I spoke under my breath sipping my tea.

"So, tomorrow we will leave after your shift." My eyes shot to him

"WHAT NO" snapping at this impossible request.

"You will, you cannot escape I own you," He whispers slowly using his powers to walking through the table pressing his body against mine, the heat of his voice on my ear, the intensely of how he held me in his grasp.

"o...o... OK" trying to hold my composure, he obviously saw through it.

"Good girl," Mordecai winks then leaves.

Sitting in disbelief of what just happened, only one thing left for me to do. Rushing to my apartment grabbing clothes and Tabatha running to the diner's office leaving a note of why I’m leaving abruptly.

I could feel eyes staring into the back of my head.

Putting Tabatha in her car seat, "Going somewhere?" Mordecai's voice scared me until I jumped into the air.

Holding my chest as I turned to face him.

"N... N...NO" I stuttered looking at him

"Well let's go... " Mordecai says stopping in his tracks when he sees a baby in the backseat crying.

"You have to be FUCKING SHITTING ME!"

Standing frozen in fear, his silence scared to only made it worst to the point I seriously thought he would kill me.

He didn't speak a word only grabbing me by the back of my throat, holding me in place as he order Colt and Jack to retrieve my bags and Tabatha in a separate car as he basically threw me into the back seat of the car.

The drive to the castle was super quiet and oddly enough I felt comfort in watching the darkness passed by.

Reaching the castle Colt took Tabatha I fought against him taking her from me, but Mordecai grabbed my neck again.

"Where are you taking her?"

"We need to talk, let's go" Mordecai demanded leading me down the hall.

"Please, don’t hurt her, she is my world,"

"Move your *** Marri Hatcher" Mordecai orders grabbing me nearly dragging me along the way.

Flabbergasted at his décor as I walked into the room.

‘This is his bedroom?’

"Sit down" he orders pushed my shoulder down into the seat of a chair.

“Have some tea." He gestured to the table with a teapot and small cups.

"Well, let me get straight to the point, you have a child so clearly you're not the ****** that I was promised, but we will still be married and with this child, we know your reproductive organs work."  He says holding in his temper in, I just sat there stirring my cup.

"How many times have you had sex?" He asked with an angry voice trying to warn.

Refusing to answer, I watched him roughly place down his teacup, he walks over behind me snaking, I shivered as his finger crawled from the back to the front of my neck.

The tighter and tighter he squeezed I more scared I became a began scratching his hand gasping for air as my air supply slim to a crawl and my eye rolled back, he released his hold looking me in the eyes "I will expect an answer this time, how many times have you had sex?" He snapped with a demanding voice as he sat back in his chair crossing his legs stirring his tea.

"Just one time."

"Who is the kid's father?"

"Please no! don't hurt him, he doesn't know about the baby." Barely on my knees pleading for him not to do anything rash.

"That WAS NOT MY question" Mordecai shouts I cowering into my sit.

"Kyle."

"Good girl, was that so hard to do" he snickers before leaving the room.

I sat quietly exploring the room, after a while, I test my luck by going to the door seeing that no one watching me, I needed to find Tabby, just to see if she is okay.

"You're Colt, right?" asked the man walking down the hall I was walking in the opposite direction he was the one that walked off with Tabby.

"Yes! What can I do for you?" Colt answers.

"UM... Where's my Daughter?" I questioned, this will really get me in trouble, but I can’t help not being away from her.

“You mean the little girl I walked into the crib room?"

“She’ll stay in our room until the honeymoon.” Turning to find Mordecai holding Tabby, I’ll admit he looked glorious with her.

“There will be a wedding next week, you shouldn’t have trouble getting pregnant seeing that it only took once the last time." I blushed hard at his comment.

I don’t why he’s so hell-bent on conceiving and didn’t want to have to do it all the time.

Tabatha slept as I read the Contract from the council, Mordecai and I had up to one year to get married and have a child to be awarded the title King and Queen of the underworld.

Started by the sound of Tabatha screaming I jumped up from the chair to nurse her, unclipping my shirt allowing her to latch, not paying attention I didn’t know Mordecai was still in the room.

Searching for the sound of Mordecai clearing his throat looking up to him who currently had the (I want to devour you) look.

"I'm sorry, she eats a lot still."

"Don't ever be sorry for doing your motherly duty," Mordecai says placing his hand on my chin giving a small kiss on my cheek before returning to the bed. I couldn't get the thought of his lips out of my mind, after feeding Tabatha she placed her in the crib. He does have a soft side and tenderness about him, his pale skin and long white hair barely showed through the darkness of the fireplace.

I climbed in bed with Mordecai nervously just lying on the edge of the bed. I don’t care what anyone would say I’m not getting comfortable with a man I just meant, he ordered that I sleep there next to him, I’m guessing just because he’s scared, I’ll run away again.

Waking up to the bright sunlight hitting my eyes, but Tabby didn’t wake me like normal.

"Where?" Whispering as I headed to the door, stopped by Colt holding Tabby.

"Oh my... you scared me." I smiled taking her from him.

"What is it like?” he tilts his head to my question Mordecai walked by us sitting in the chair.

“You know to be Demon and stuff, I’m Human and really don’t know how these things work.”

“Every demon is different in some way, Colt has horns and I have wings.” He stands removing his shirt, my eyes stayed on his face not that I didn’t want to look lower, but that was an adventure for another day.

Mordecai begins shifting, His pale white skin began to change red, his moon crest started to glow, wings came out of his back, His tail swinging side to side as he walks over to me smiling as he gently caressed my hair. I didn't move to stare up into his eyes for the first time our souls seem to connect he stood nearly a foot taller in his demon form. Such an intimate moment I didn’t notice that Colt took Tabatha and left.

"Are you scared of me?" he stood close to me, with a shuttering tone.

"No" I answer placing hands on his bare chest.

"Should I be scared?" I continue with raised eyebrows.

"Do you want to find out?" Mordecai says as he unbuttons his pants releasing a large bulge in his undershorts.

I wasn’t sure if I was aroused or just pent up, swallowing hard as I touched him softly still staring into his eyes.

Seconds of caressing him, guessing he couldn't take it as he grabbed my shoulders not rough just enough to make me alert. Lifting me to his mouth kissing me as if our lives depended on it.

He invaded my mouth with his tongue, I wrapped my legs around his waist trying to hold myself up.

Grinning our bodies against each other, time seemed to stand still for us as he pushed me against the wall ripping clothes to the floor, whimpering, and moaning as his mouth took my nipples in his mouth.

"Oh... Kai" moaning the pleasure of just his lips on my ****** made me feel a release, digging nails into his hair I could feeling his sliding between my folds, one slight move and he’ll be inside me.

Suddenly everything stopped, he gently placed me on the floor wrapping a sheet around my ***** body.

Staying confused before asking.

"Why? Why you stop?"

“This should happen on our wedding night, get dressed we’re going for a walk.” He shook his head tugging at his rock-hard junior.

"See something you like!" He smiles at me ogling him.

Dressing became a challenge; I don’t know what made it more impossible buttoning my shirt or watching him dress as if nothing had happened.

We walked quietly through the gardens with Tabby, she smiles and laughs at all the green colors and roses.

Kai tapped me on the shoulder he’s back into his human form and I’d be lying if I say he looked better this way.

"OH sorry... I didn't mean to stare it’s just I... She... un nothing" dropping my head thinking of ways not to explain this part of my heart.

How do you tell your contracted fiancé that the child you have may never see him as her father?

"I know, she doesn't have a father," Mordecai says playing with her tiny fingers

"Can I ask you something?"

"You just did." Mordecai snickered

Rolling my eyes saying "Can um... Can my um...

"Marri spit it out already" Mordecai shouted making me jump a bit, his voice is so powerful.

"Can my Parents come to the wedding Please?"

"I already invited them, why are you so nervous," he said, I noticed he is really down to earth and humble.

From the day I meant him, he seemed to have a chip on his shoulder, but now he seems to be a different person.

"Can you not be in your human form anymore?" I asked taking a big leap, but I didn’t want him to feel uncomfortable on my account.

"Why? Thought you would like it" true he’s sexy in his current stance, brown eyes, pale white skin with long white hair. But it wasn’t the real him and I don’t want him to hide.

"I want to be able to see everyone without their masks, Tabatha is going to have to get used to it."

“I understand that, okay.” He smiled; my eyes widen in surprise it’s the first time I saw him smile. I could fall in love with him, right?

Waking up to find Mordecai and Tabatha missing. Not really worried knowing that Mordecai takes her on morning walks often, seeing a note on my pillow.

'Mrs. Creed to be,

Congratulations on your wedding day,

Tabatha will be with me until next week

Enjoy your Honeymoon'

"Colt..." I screamed running out of the room anxiously searching for my baby, instead, I run into Jack

"Jack where did he take Tabatha?”

"Ms. Marri, Tabatha is fine, she is with Colt" Jack answers trying to reassure me that everything is ok.

"Why didn't he let me say goodbye? Where is Mordecai?" I whimpered, I'd never been away from Tabatha and this was something I needed to get used to.

"Sire is preparing for the wedding as you should be too, as for Mr. Creed I can't answer that, maybe he wanted you to be free-minded," Jack says leading me to the bathroom.

He left me when the room filled with bath maids.

Stripping and scrubbing my body and hair, it was time to get dress.

Most of the day I spent thinking of Mordecai, after seeing him every minute of every day I began to feel attached to him and was impatient to see him.

Dad was giving the honor to walk me down the aisle taking arm and arm we stood at the bay door looking over the grand room decorated in flowers from the dead man's garden and all the guest of Demon Realm, Angel Realm, even Vampire, Werewolves and Human Realms were accompanying.

I sucked in a breath when I saw Mordecai standing with the priest in his King uniform I had never seen him look so marvelous the red suit with royal emerald jewels and his crown black with gold trim and emerald jewels his wings were fully expanded and his horns were bright red, he was holding my soon to be crown very thin with gold with black trim and red jewels.

As we walked down the aisle everyone was gawking at my black lace draped red dress with gold and diamonds outlining the bust and trim, my hair was curled into a bun was two flowers.

Standing in front of the priest Tomas says,

"I Tomas do give Marri Hatcher to Mordecai Creed for marriage."

Mordecai held his hand out taking mine walking in front of the priest smiling endlessly. Being pulled out of our thoughts the priest says

"Do you King Mordecai Creed take this woman Marri Hatcher to be your wife to have and hold from this day forward until death do you part?"

"I do"

"Do you Marri Hatcher take this man King Mordecai Creed to be your husband to have and hold from this day forward until death do you part?"

"I do"

The priest hands Mordecai a pin and instructs him to nipped my ring finger letting three drops of blood fall into a chalice of red wine, He then instructed me to do the same to Mordecai.

"Now each of you will drink from the chalice,"

Mordecai held it up to cheer then took a drink and then I did the same

"I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss your bride."

Mordecai didn't waste any time throwing himself on to me as if we had been apart for years, the room boomed in cheer.

"Finally, you're mine" Mordecai whispered

Rushing down the aisle into the dressing room to change clothes,

"Marri, drink the potion that Jack gave you. Do it now so you will be ready" Mordecai says while he is helping me out of the dress and into a new one.

"Okay, how will I know it worked?" I ask curiously helping him out of his suit and into a nice comfy suit.

"Trust me... if it works we are in for a surprise."

Holding up the vile and looking him in the eye watching it go down my throat, coughing at the bitter taste, and chasing it with water I look at Mordecai kissing him deeply and passionately pulling him close to me where there was no gap. I grip my stomach at the sudden surge of pain, he stopped in looked at me worried.

"You feel it!" I huffed and gasped feeling this intense arousal,

Nodding and giggling at the pain that had been replaced with arousal

"Let's go to our reception,"

"Can't we skip it?" I whimpered rubbing my legs together, Mordecai swiftly picked me up kissing and touching every inch of me, I wanted so much more.

"I'm going to explode, please. It hurts."

He laid me on the bed

"We're not going too far,"

Before I could protest or say anything he began licking my sweet spot, doing things I had never experienced before, moments later digging my hands into his hair screaming in an explosive climax leaving me shaking to my core.

"Feeling better" Mordecai laughs at me wiping his mouth.

"What was that?"

"Seriously?" he says with a shocked look not understanding that I literally had no experience with ******** or even **** ***.

"You have a lot to learn, let's go," He says helping me up, laughing at his silly jokes the whole way to the dance room for the party.  While walking down the court hall we heard voices, Mordecai signal me not to talk as they tiptoed to the edge of the hall peeking around the corner we seeing Melody and Colt talking

"Are you ok?" Melody says

"Do I look ok?" Colt jerked back from where Mom was standing, His demeanor was completely different from the last time I saw him.

"I'm sorry I never let Lucy be with you"

"Yeah, cause now she's an adult and you don't really have any say in the matter."

"Colt stop it," she begged nearly in tears.

"Shut up" Colt snapped, just as Mordecai was about to interrupt them, Colt snarled and walked away.

Returning to the party that had already started Mordecai and Marri greet guests and eat. Just as Melody returned Mordecai asked to dance.

They sway across the dance floor with grace and ease, moments later during the third song Colt cuts in.

"My lady, may I have this dance?"

"Sure," Marri says as they take off Melody taps Mordecai on the shoulder to dance.

"This was a beautiful ceremony," Melody said as they began to sway through the dance floor.

"Yes! Marri loved everything even the dead man flowers." Mordecai whispered swaying around the room glancing over to see Colt and Marri, she was smiling and laughing she looked happy and carefree.

Hours passed after the meals, toasting, and dancing guests began to bid a farewell to the King and Queen of the underworld.

"We are off for the night, bid the rest of the guest a good night." Mordecai orders Jack

"Enjoy your evening" Jack laughs patting him on the back.

"My Queen shall we head to bed."
