With her free hand, Elizabeth wiped the tears away from her eyes. She felt betrayed by him, her heart fell in love with the monster she hated for so long. Hopefully the Lycans she was surrounded by couldn't see her despair as Xavier lead her away. Once in the enclosed section of the courtyard, Elizabeth sat down on the stone bench. Elizabeth found it in herself to look down at the man that kneeled before her. As he explained every detail to her Elizabeth began to understand, but her brain and heart were at war with each other. Her heart was broken from the lies or not only the man she started to love, but her parents as well. Her brain said it was for the best that their marriage went through for the sake of their races. Elizabeth didn't know which one to listen to. His finger under her chin making her look directly at him and his lips touching hers again started something inside her. She felt so warm after a lifetime of feeling so cold with his love and care upon her. Perhaps...it was time to let go of her past and move on. It was clear to her to he meant every word his sweet lips spoke. For a moment she stared at the ground and her fingers touched her lips, still feeling his lips imprint on hers. Then Elizabeth looked back at him before standing up from the stone bench saying. "I won't run from you Xavier. My heart hurts from the lies, but...this war has gone on too long. I lost my only friend...the man I loved to one of your kind...that's why I grew bitter throughs Lycans, but...I've come to realize that anger I felt was the reason this war started and still continues. Our marriage is the only thing that can stop it. Two bloodlines together in the name of love is the only edivence that our kinds can be together in peace." She took a few steps closer to him and took his hand in hers. Softly she brushed some misplaced strains of his hair off his face and placed her hand on his cheek. "I've grown to care for you too in such a short time. My heart has a crack, but I believe it can be repaired. I don't want to just marry for peace, but I want to marry because I love you too." She whispered softly with soft eyes then slowly pressed her lips against his.
