The wedding was another chapter in Sophie and Nicholas' lives together and they spent the next few days together as a happily married couple. Even though they had already consummated before their wedding, their first night as husband and wife was also special.
Their hearts opened up further to one another.
It was at that time that Nicholas finally decided to continue with the wolfsbane cure and explained what it meant to rid himself of lycanthropy. The two of them discussed it over their meal together.
"Wait, you have to suffer throughout the entire process?" Sophie's eyes widened once she told him. She grabbed his hand and shook her head. "I don't want to see you suffer, Nick and I don't want you to die either."
Nicholas gave her a reassuring smile and he patted the back of her hand.
"I'll be alright, especially because I know that I will have you by my side. The reason for my life is sitting right in front of me."
