Earning a charming, enchanting smile from the girl on the throne.
' I am glad to hear that. But we are step ahead from others. We devote our lives to Lord Shiva.' The girl on the throne said with a smile, earning an acknowledging nod from Yuvika.
' That's a great thing. Not everyone can let go of the worldly benefits and worldly desires. I am Yuvika Chauhan, the assistant to the CEO of The Raj. He is my husband, Mr. Ashutosh Pratihast, the Chairman of The Raj.' Yuvika introduced themselves to the people present in the room.
Though, everyone in the room, except for the duo were confused with the introduction. But no one pry further or ask anything about the two surname story.
'Pleasure to meet you, Miss Chauhan … and… Mr. Pratihast. I am Shivanshi, the leader of this little safe haven of ours.' Shivanshi, the girl on the throne introduced herself, making the duo nod in acknowledgement.
' I am sure you must have been tired. So, Angad will show you the room in our guest attendance wing. You can rest first, have something and then Miss Chauhan you can join our people with arrangements, if you like.' Shivanshi explained, earning a sweet smile and nod from Yuvika.
Soon, a guard named Angad came and led the duo to their supposed room. As meticulous and fast these people were, before the duo even entered the room, the room was cleaned, arranged and all the necessities that the duo might need or can utilize were placed well by the maids.

When Ashutosh and Yuvika enter, they are amazed, it was like they had entered the historic era, where the kings and queens used to exist. The room was divided into a hall, bedroom with attached bathroom and balcony.
The clothes, spare pair of shoes to be worn after a bath was placed neatly on the sofa of the bedroom, while the rest of the accessories were placed in the drawers and the stands.
Ashutosh stares at them, then at Yuvika and says; ' You go first, I will be here.'
Yuvika nodded, took the things she needed and left Ashutosh alone in the room. She entered the bathroom, removing her clothes unknown to the pair of eyes that were watching her secretly from the other side of the mirror. She blushed when she saw her own body in the mirror, full of marks and bites.
' She is marked.' The voice whispered from the other side. As the mark wasn't visible to humans, only.
' I can see that, too. He really did that. I thought he still loves her.' Another voice echoed in the silent place, the disappointment visible in the tone.
' Come on, they are mates, you know. Let's go.' The first voice said.
' Why? I thought, you like watching such sights.' The other voice said with the hint of mischief in it.
'Yeah, I do. But, she is marked by him. She deserves our utmost respect and reverence, not our ill sight. Let's go.' The voice said with sternness in it. Leaving Yuvika all alone with her privacy.

Ashutosh was busy watching the view outside, when he heard the soft thud, leading his eyes to the source of noise. He froze on the spot. He just kept staring at the girl in front of him.
A-Amrita!
He couldn't believe his eyes.He kept staring at her, knowing full well he was making her uncomfortable with his gaze, but snatching the eyes away from his dream was impossible.
Before he knew it, he was already standing in front of the girl, to whom he was assuming Amrita, scaring the girl a little. But he didn't give her any chance. He didn't let her back away. His one arm fixed her on the spot, while another pulled her closer to him.His lips crashing on hers.
The kiss was wild, passionate, almost tortuous, hard to handle, almost engulfing her. There was pain, there was pleasure, there was love, there was lust, there was patience, there was craziness. It's like, something in him snapped out completely.
No matter how hard Yuvika tried, she wasn't able to match his ferocity at all. Before they knew it, they were in the bed, full of passion and many indescribable emotions. Yuvika thought it might be the result of being a virgin for so long.
So, she tried to cope with it, to match with him, but how could she be matched to centuries of love, loneliness, sadness, unrequitedness. Soon, he was in the lead, while she obediently followed, letting him do the unspeakable, irreversible.
~~
Ashutosh was standing in the cold shower, still not believing what he did a few moments earlier. Once he got dressed, he gave one last glance to Yuvika who was sleeping soundly, covered her with the covers, then left the room.
~~
' You did it intentionally. Didn't you?' Ashutosh said in a terrifically cold voice.
' What did I do?' Shivanshi asked in her arrogant, ignorant, nonchalant voice. As if she doesn't know what he was talking about.
They were in Shivanshi's room's hall area, with full privacy.
' You know what I am referring to. Right?' Ashutosh spat, while keeping his anger in check.
' What? She just wore attire similar to Amrita. How can you blame me for that or anything, as the matter-of-fact. Every woman in our kingdom wears the same clothes, but I never saw you acting like a dog in heat in front of them.' Shivanshi spat word-to-word.
Earning a deep sigh from Ashutosh, who knows more than Shivanshi that it indeed is the case.
' But, still you did it intentionally.' Ashutosh emphasized on intentionally.
'Oh yeah. I just wanna know whether my lil bro's heart still is full of our Amrita or that prophesied girl. You know, she might die on her mission. I just wanted to ensure, you won't interfere in any way, here.
After all, a celibate has broken his centuries long celibacy presently. I have to ensure that nothing wrong would come out of it.'Shivanshi admitted with a deep sigh.
'Rest assured, it won't happen.' Ashutosh said in a soft murmur, then left the room, earning a scowl from Shivanshi, who disliked the fact that he didn't say anything before leaving.
' I just hope you are still in love with Amrita. That would be the best for all of us.' Shivanshi muttered under her breath. After which, she engrossed herself knee-deep with work.
