Thea was feeling confident with every passing moment and every positive reaction. She was finally getting hold of everything. And now, she was ready for the final step of the ceremony.
"Thea..."
She watched Edwin with a smile, but the seriousness on his face made it falter slowly.
"This is the last step of the ceremony. After this, you and Rees will be bonded by your blood. His blood will improve your healing abilities. And thus, you will live longer than your expected lifespan. You will grow old with your husband, and may the death succumb you both at the same time.
Because once the blood bond is established, it is very hard for humans too to live without their mate."
Thea listened to Edwin carefully. She knew the gravity of his words and was ready to do anything for her husband.
"I understand Young Master!" She said politely.
Edwin gave her a nod. The woman who had collected drops of Rees's blood in a rufous coloured liquid walked to Thea.
