When the dance ended, ravn pulled Alicia closer to him to the extent that their bodies were touching, as he was about to kiss her lips he felt himself being pushed to the ground with so much force he couldn't comprehend. He looked up to see a menacing gaze coming from Asher who looked livid.
Gasps were coming from the guest as they started mummuring about what the groom had done, what was going on here? they asked themselves.
Asher doesn't know why but Alicia dancing with him made all his nerves jolt up in anger, he was trying to control all his emotions as he gripped Isabel tightly who made a whimper as if in pain, when he saw the bastard leaning closer to Alicia in an attempt to kiss her, he lost his shit. He pushed Isabel away from him and wedged his way across the people towards where Alicia was and he pushed ravn away therefore separating them.
Ravn stood up while dusting his cloth, "Who are you and what gave you the audacity to do this?" he asked Asher while the latter just rolled his eyes at him and turned towards Alicia to pull her.
"What are you doing? let me go!" Alicia whisper shouted at him but Asher didn't want to listen to her as he began pulling her through the people who stood there looking in shock. "Asher!" There came the deep voice that sounded from the back and Asher halted in his step to look at the anger in his father's eyes. He was totally displeased that his son was embarrassing him in time like this.
"Not now father!" He yelled back in response as he continued walking, just then all the lights went off leaving the place dark...
"Eh? what's going on?" The guest asked one another as they hadn't experienced something like this on a wedding day and unfortunately again, it was already in the night. The windows flung open and the wind rushed in like never before, asher could smell something in the air, 'Witches' he muttered under his breath as the color of his eyes started fluctuating from green to red. He looked over at Alicia who was looking terrified, "What here for me and don't go anywhere" He said to her as he pulled her towards a room and locked her in it.
"Ash-" Alicia shouted hoping that he would change his mind and release her from there but Asher already left.

-In the witch clan-
"My Lord, lady grace had been furious when she learnt that you went out on your own again without companions, she told me to monitor you and tell her about your whereabout as she wouldn't want the future lord to be missing again like the previous" Levi, the lord's bodyguard said.
Ravn looked up from the book he was reading and upon seeing Levi's worried expression, he closed the book, "You guys shouldn't be afraid that something will happen to me, I'm not a kid to be watched after" He claimed and then continued, his hand went to pick the flower placed on his table and he began cutting the petals one by one, "And besides, I had fun... so... much fun" He said as he cut the last petal while his lips twisted into a smirk as he remembered Alicia's face. The woman was so beautiful and she had caught his attention, what he wanted now was to gain her trust so that she could be his future wife.
Levi sighed, he knew that ravn wasn't a good person and that smirk on his face meant that something dangerous was going to happen. Ravn was just someone that people fell for easily, he was an easy going person but behind that facade laid the most dangerous person ever seen, he could turn into a monster if he doesn't get what he want.
Suddenly, his expression changed into the one of being serious, he had checked Alicia in his magic ball using something that she had touched before and that was one of the items she had bought for him. He saw that she wasn't living alone or with her parents, instead she was living with another person who he considered as a competition because of how breathtaking the person was. He also learnt that the guy was getting married so he needn't worry about anything but he was, if Alicia didn't know it before but she was falling for the guy and ravn couldn't accept that, even if it was just today that he had met her, he wanted her, he was attracted by her beauty. So in order to prevent them from falling in love with each other because there is no way the opposite sex could live together under the same roof without harboring any feelings towards one another.
Ravn had to kill that man to get Alicia, he also learnt that the man was a very popular person so it means that most people would be invited to the wedding, it's better to invade the wedding and kill the vampires and especially the man that Alicia was living with so that he would have enough reasons to bring her to his place. He beckoned on Levi to come forward and he leaned closer to his ear to whisper something which made Levi's heart leap, his lord was preparing for an attack on the vampires and also to kidnap some of them so they would in turn work for him as those creatures were considered agile beings.

"We have everything under control my Lord, just your signal is needed when we are about to attack" Levi whispered and ravn nodded his head.
"Also I want you to take the woman I'm going to be with today to our place" Ravn spoke as if very sure that he was going to kill Asher today and have Alicia for himself but little did he know that the creature's too weren't stupid to not have prepared for any event that might want to happen.
