*Alora POV*

The decision was made quickly and swiftly once Sebastian slammed the door in both our faces. Finally releasing us from his presence.

Ominis grip on me already told me where we would be heading.

Back to the Gaunts Estate.

Back to hell.

Our bodies twisted and turned, transporting till we found ourselves back in front of the Gaunts manor. Ominis releasing me from his hold while I turned to the lawn, wanting to again vomit. Feeling the vile crawl up my throat.

The door opened of the mansion, revealing the devils. His father and Marvolo both with cigars in their mouths, blowing smoke out into the open air.

"Well....well..... " Marvolo said, tightening his tie around his neck, "Looks like we got a wedding to plan." He smirked, taking another pull of the cigar.

I stood straighter, coming back to Ominis side. Grasping my hand in his, facing the music. Facing hell. Together.

"Marvolo." Ominis stated, inching us forward. "You seem well."

He chuckled, "Very well little brother. In fact, curious as to why I wouldn't be, on this monumental day-"

"I'm simply just glad to see you weren't harmed when you confronted Alora in the woods just earlier today. In truth, she could have seriously wiped your black heart right out of your chest-" Ominis said calmly with a touch of spice. Squeezing my hand, reassuring me as I already felt the need to release the ancient magic to protect us.

Marvolo smirked, stepping outside the home. Only a few feet away from us as he advanced. "Well I'm here, right now. Ready for another round." He challenged, opening his hands wide. "Why don't you take your best shot!"

I gritted my teeth, letting my wand fall to my hands. Marvolos eyes widening, his chin raising. Smiling.

"Enough!" His father shouted from behind, coming down and slapping Marvolo head. Causing him to cower away. "You three can hash this out later, we have matters to attend to." He said, eyeing me and Ominis. "We have work to do."

Throughout the day, everything was planned to perfection. Most of the decorations for the ceremony included with the reception were already in place. Just adding the final touches of the dark blood red flowers down the isles. I stepped outside with Ominis, seeing where our fates would lead us.

Behind the estate, there was an open pathway that lead into an array of gardens. I had never noticed it before because it was past the reception area where our original announcement was taken place.

The black concrete opened up to a sea of roses,  on either side of the isle ways, dark colored roses, some sprayed with black paint, some dark green. A gold gauntlet laid on a table where we would be standing once I got down the isle. Two stone carved snakes crossed over each other before their mouths opened just over where we would be standing. Their eyes beaded with dark green gems shining brightly underneath the sunlight. Becoming our archway.

For a dark romance theme, it was actually beautiful. But all I could focus on was the gauntlet that would once again hold blood that we would both have to drink. Solidifying our marriage in front of the entire Gaunt family and all the pure bloods.

I wanted to be sick.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

I looked up to Ominis, seeing that his wand wasn't blinking but I'm sure this wasn't the first time he's seen glimpses of the ceremonies held here.
