Chapter 155: The Gravity Of Your Choice
Chilly silence filled the office to the point it was almost impossible, yet I stood my ground focusing my entire gaze on Oliver although that was a difficult feat for me. Getting no answer from anyone was really freaking me out! Wasn’t I supposed to choose both? I mean it’s my choice, right? Will they accept it? I bit my bottom lip because I got more nervous and uncertain about my choice, this silence wasn’t helping at all.
"Do you understand the gravity of this decision?" Oliver finally broke the silence.
And I released a sharp exhale. "Y-Yes"
"And?"
I took a deep gulp. "I will still continue my studies here as a witch, and..." I faced Dace, should I say be his wife? I shook my head. "Date Dace Devereaux ’’ he raised an eyebrow at my words and I blushed looking away. Saying ’Date’ was easier than saying his wife, it made me awkward.
"You do know not everyone will welcome the fact that you’re in a relationship with a Devereaux"
Was there any time anyone accepted it?
"Surely they will frat... The mark is all the evidence they need of Emma’s relationship, it doesn’t sully the blood oath, they will learn to accept it" Elias intoned.
"This is something that has never happened" Vanessa spoke this time. "A mixed bloodline? We have known to only honor those of our clan"
"And yet she bears my son’s mark... yes impossible... times are changing Miss Adams, rather than turn a blind eye we accept it, for the betterment of everyone," Elias said in a calm tone. "We all know and are certain that these two won’t stay apart from each other"
Another silence filled the office.
