Lily had never felt more sure of herself than in that moment. Dimitri had meant it when he said she was to be his mate. Lily felt like her heart was ready to burst with the knowledge that he was hers. Pulling back she traced his jawline staring into his eyes with love and adoration.
She wanted to tell him who her mother was, but they still had a long way to go for that secret to be revealed. She knew the information could be used against her if known to the wrong people. Keeping silent for the time being seemed the better idea, even if it was with Dimitri.
Dimitri had never wanted anyone so much in his life. Lily made his heart soar and feel alive after so much fear in his life. No one in the castle had ever cared for him the way she did. All he wanted to do now was declare to everyone that she was his mate and no one would replace her. His mother would want to meet her especially if he was to get formally married.
