Slave to the Darkness 153 153 Unedited

After looking at the King and Queen Cedric bends over and lightly kisses Yuki on the lips "Yuki I know that we have known each other for a while now but I want to vow that I will be yours until the end of our time together. I can tell that we are close to forming the blood bond so you need to not drink my blood for a while. I know that is cruel but it is not time for us to create that bond. Do you understand?"

Yuki looked up at Cedric sadly. "I do understand but I do not want to drink another's blood. I do not see why I can't just have you." She pouted and leaned her head on his chest.

Luna stepped forward. "I am sorry sweetie. It is something that we decided. I know that you like Cedric but there are some things that are happening in the outside world that we are trying to fix. Once that is dealt with then you can become his and he can become yours. Now that the two of you have completed the first step you need to go to the dance floor. I know that the two of you know how to dance together but humour me."

Yes, it is as your mother said. I also would like to see you two dance." Ryan wrapped his hand around Luna's waist.

Cedric offers Yuki his hand and then leads her to the dance floor once she accepts. "We have danced a lot but let's make this on count." He bows and then starts to lead her. "When we do this for real you will be wearing a wedding dress."

Yuki blushes and dances with him. "I look forward to that day. I hope that it comes fast. I do not want to lose you before my parents leave this world. I can tell that they are planning something. It is unusual for them to suggest that we do a practice run when they are both alive and well. It isn't normal."

"I am sure that they have their reasons. There is nothing that we can do about it now. Let's just enjoy this moment together. Cedric dances with Yuki when Ryan and Luna join in.

"We can't let you two dance alone the whole time. I am glad that we did this today." Ryan smiled and led Luna like a seasoned professional.

"There is nothing better than getting to spend time with your spouse and child. Well, we get to spend time with our son in law." Luna smiled as Ryan led her away before she said anything else.

"Cedric, are you happy here? I know that my family can be a little crazy. She glances over and sees Claude guarding the door.

"I am happier than you could even know. I want you to know that I am glad that you let me become a part of your life. I know that it isn't easy to let someone you do not know well into your life but you let me get closer to you and for that I am grateful. I know that you have been through a lot of the years but I also know that you are my everything. Between everything that is going on in my life I am glad that you are there for me." The song came to an end.

Yuki hugged Cedric. "I am glad that you came into my life at an unexpected time. I am glad that you are mine." he hotels her and the pain for a wound is shown on his face.

Yuki looked at Cedric and could finally smell the blood. She looked up at him and then at her parents "What do we do? You're bleeding."

"I will be alright. It is but a scratch. I know that you are not used to it. I am used to getting minor injuries." Cedric tries to pass the pain off and tries his hardest to not let her know what is going on."

Yuki took off the coat he was wearing and the white shite was sticking to his back covered in blood.

Cedric covered Yuki's eyes. "Sleep." after he said the command Yuki's body fell into his arms passing out. He lifted her up and took her to Claude. "Do not get too unspent, I only put her to sleep that

Luna raised over and touched his back and watched him flinch. "Why did you not tell us before. If you told us then we would've been able to heal this and she wouldn't have noticed!"

Ryan strode over and pulled the white shirt up. He saw the mark in all its deep glory. "I so solemn swear that if you do not let me come over I will never be able to rest peacefully."

"I already know that if you do not get to come over you will show up unannounced. There is not a lot that I can do about this as it has already been time. This is minor compared to last time." Cedric allied the two to inspect his back as he stood there.

Luna touched the scars and had sliced her finger open so as she traced along the knife slices the wounds would heal back to normal. "You stupid still boy. I wish that you had told us that you injured you know that we would've healed you."

Rayn helped Luna and sighed. I get why you did not want to tell us. But please do not treat us like strangers. I just handed you my seat. We will take care of him at the end of the month."

"Honestly, I just want you two to spend time with Yuki. I know that you care about me a lot but I am not blood-related. Yuki is my Queen. I do not want to ever forget her." Cedric touched his cheek.

"Since you are taking over my position I want you to think about why we allowed you to take over. I know that you will understand with time. Why we did what we did. You keep treating yourself like an outsider but you are far from it. You know that we handed our seats over. The king of night will not stand for shitty experiments to be done on his body!" Ryan finished healing the wounds.

Claude walked over. It is not his fault. Did you know that man would threaten him by saying if he has someone dear to him that he would defile her/ We are not sure in what context but I wanted to rip his heart out but Cedric stopped me. I want to see his head roll."

You talk too much, asshole Cedric pulled off the white and red shirt and tossed it at Claude.

"Is this why you did not want us to go to your place? You were worried about what he might do to us?" Luna was shocked.

"Since the ceremony is over, I will leave and go get some rest. I know that you understand why I did something without telling you but Yuki needs me right now. I wish we could complete the bond. I will stay away for the next month. Make sure that she drinks a lot of blood, please." Cedric turned towards the door.

~Memory Ends~

Yuki opened her eyes and looked around the room. She looked at Cedric as he navigated the boat. She slips off the couch and wraps her arms around his waist. "I did not know all that happened while I was put under. Was it your uncle that caused you those wounds?" She leaned her head on his back.

"Yes, he was a sadistic crazy fuck. I am glad that he is gone. I have hoped that I would be the one to take him down But Luna and Ryan did it for me. That was the first time I had seen them do something for someone else." Cedric parked the boat and turned around. "Shall we go check our traps?"

"We get to check the traps? I want to go!" hopefully we catch a lot!" Yuki lets go of Cedric and let him lead the way.

Cedric led Yuki to the boats and helped her climb inside. Once she was sitting Cedric climbed in and lowered the boat. "We do not want to scare the fish away. That is what we are using the small boat for." Cedric sees a boya and he gets up to it and starts to pull the cage up. Inside the cage were carb lobster, shrimp, and a small fish.

Yuki opened the cooler on the boat and watched what Cedric was up to. She watched the cage get dumped and then tossed back into the ocean.

Cedric did this a few more times until the cooler was full of all sorts of creatures. He took a bucket and scooped the ocean water before dumping it over the creatures. "this will help keep them fresh."
