*Alora POV*
"Father." Ominis said lowly, acknowledging him.
"And who is this, lovely lady you have brought me?" He said, coming around the table. His eyes still weary as he came around the other side of the table.
Ominis immediately came to my side, grabbing ahold of my hand protectively.
"Father, this is Alora. Alora Circe."
Should I curtsy? Or something.....
I instead reached my hand to shake his, not sure if this was proper enough but to hell with it.....
He reached for me, grabbing my hand softly before bringing it up to his lips, kissing it softly.
"Ah yes, I've heard much about you, my dear."
I frowned at him, taking my hand back.
"You have?" I asked.
He smiled, turning his back to me before finding the head chair in the dining room.
Ominis pulled on my hand, bringing me back, opening a chair for me allowing me to sit on the opposite side of his father.
"Of course, my dear, your-... well legacy has come well known to the wizarding world. Your story has one that's captured my attention for some time."
"Didn't realize my name was so well known." I said softly.
He poured himself another glass of whiskey that Marvolo graciously brought over.
"Ah yes, well, Victor Rookwood's death spread wide including with the moments of the last and final repository. Nothing moves or even flinches without my wear abouts."
"I see....."
Would he then know about Sebastian......
"Well, less talk about that.......let's get down to it shall we?"
He leaned back, his hard and dark menacing eyes pounding down on Ominis as his arms crossed.
"Father..... we've come on behalf to-" Ominis spoke.
"You know the laws Ominis."
Ominis clenched his hands shut, gripping onto the sides of his armchair. Seeing him grit his teeth again.
"I am well aware of the laws-"
"And yet you bring forth a bride that was not within our choosing."
The silence of the room fell as the death glare they both gave made me want to cower in the corner.
"Your suitors were unfit-"
Ominis father slammed his hands down on the table, causing the glasses to shake. My breath escaping me.
"Unfit! ON what standards do you even have to have rejected so many! OUR bloodline is to be kept at the highest mortality as possible to keep our line running AS PUREBLOODS!"
So many? Rejected...... what was going on here.........
His father leaned further into the table. But Ominis challenged him, leaning forward as well.
"I will NOT, be expected to marry someone just merely because of a bloodline. To think you'd ever suggest me marrying me off to my cousin, is SICK BEYOUND MEASURE!" Ominis yelled back.
I could tell his voice was beginning to shake, his palms sweating. His grip on the chair deathly. I've never seen Ominis this way, his calm demeanor, his soft voice..... replaced with something entirely.
