BLACKFOREST REIGN

CHAPTER FIVE

Pran glanced down at the boy beside him, who was smiling and fully invested in the conversation he was having with Korn.

Yesterday had been the finals of the rugby season and Pat had stayed up all night watching the matches in spite of their wedding happening in a few hours.

Pran didn't know just how Pat managed to fix himself up well in time for the wedding, but here he was ready for the day.

His eyes moved from Pat to the people before him, all seated in their chairs at their designated tables.

Some were fully focused in their conversations, talking and laughing while others were on guard.

Having mortal enemies all sitting in one place was deadly and no one was willing to drop their guard down.

Occasionally there had been some hiss and growls now and then but would soon die down and yet still Pran was on edge. He kept a lookout of any fight that may occur.

If they could make it through this day Pran thought the upcoming meetings they would be having with these 3 factions wouldn't be much of a bother.

This wedding was to determine if they would be able to hold their future meetings together in one place and Pran waited to see the outcome of the day. 

The wedding rituals had been performed, the vows had been said and now both Pran and Pat were linked and bonded by blood.

When the bonding rituals happened, both the boys eyes had glowed symbolising their now linked souls.

They had been taken to the sacred place up in the mountains where the two were presented to the Gods and Goddess of the BlackForest.

The sacred place was more like a realm to the people of BlackForest, it was where they connected and indulged with the spirits of the Gods and Goddess.

The sacred place has the running fountain believed by the residents as their way to communicate with them.

During their ascension ritual, a mark appeared on each of their hand wrists.

It was a string mark that went all the way around - as if it was a bracelet - with 3 symbols representing the 3 factions - a bat, moon and a magic wand, just like the leader mark.

Pat was also presented and officially introduced to the Luna Goddess of the wolves.

The high council members were here and they had been the ones to perform the wedding as well as some of the elders from the 3 factions.

The turnout was somehow expected. Almost more than half of the BlackForest town had come to bear witness to the now formed marriage.

It wasn't everyday you see a vampire and a werewolve mated and married off. This had been the first to ever happen. 

Now that they were married, they had to move into their own house given to them by the High Council but since it was to be built, Pran had been suggested to temporarily move in with Pat at his family vampire house.

That had caused a bit of a roar to the werewolves that Mrs Canal ended up deciding to give them the quarters at the High Council building.

Now as they spoke their staff were being moved there and would stay there temporarily.

Andrew was on his left, speaking to Ink. They had been engrossed in a conversation just like Pat was with Korn giving Pran the time to look over the people that sat before them.

The strongest creatures to ever live. He and Pat were to rule over them. Get them to work with each other and probably live in peace and harmony.

The more he thought about it the more he got concerned. BlackForest had been the only town that still had all its 3 factions living together.
