---- 67. ANGEL "Deal," Lucas said softly. "I have some papers I need you to read through and sign while I make a few calls. If all goes well, you will be my legal wife before lunch tomorrow." I smiled at him, but unease filled me at the mention of the papers he wanted me to sign. Nothing good ever came from those words. Lucas placed me next to him and scooted to the edge of the couch to pick up a file from the coffee table. He opened it and held it out towards me.
hesitated a moment before I took it from him. "Don't look so worried," he said softly. "It's nothing bad. I want to ensure that you are taken care of if anything ever happens to me, Nate, or Mason. I'm not saying it will, but I want to be prepared . You've met our parents." My eyes darted over the words on the paper. "Everything we own now belongs to you as well. If we die, they can't revoke your title, kick you out of the castle, or kill you.

This will be your home until the day you die." "This is too much Lucas," I told him. ---- "Tt's not." Leaning towards me, he cupped my cheeks. "JT want to make sure that you're taken care of. Once you're queen, you'll find out exactly how everything works. There are few people you can trust and a lot of people that will take advantage of you when you're at your lowest." "T wouldn't expect less from people ," I muttered .
" You might be different but in reality, we're all human." "True." He smiled. "Read it through and make notes of everything you don't understand so we can go through it later. I'm going to start making those calls." I watched him as he walked away and then focused my attention on the file he gave me. My brows dipped into a frown as I started reading again. Few of the things on paper made sense to me.
My eyes darted over to the coffee table and locked on the notepad and pen Lucas had placed there. Leaning forward , I grabbed it and settled on my stomach on the couch. With the pen and notepad ready, I started making notes of things that didn't make sense to me as Lucas talked softly on the phone. His phone call took longer than I expected. By the time I was done, Lucas was still on the phone. ---- I bit my lips as I silently watched him, but then my attention dropped to the ring on my finger.
I pulled it off and studied every inch of it. The stone couldn't be adiamond because how did they manage to get the colors in it? Writing on the band caught my attention. I tilted it towards the light to read it. My heartbeat increased as emotions flooded me. My life, my mate. I love you forever. He loved me. I told Nate that I loved him. I loved all of them, but I wasn't sure if Mason and Lucas felt the same about me. My relationship with Lucas wasn't exactly off toa good start.
He scared the shit out of me and the way he forced me to drink his blood that first day we met didn't exactly put him in my good books. But I started falling for him the more we spent time together. The suggestion Mason made about carrying Lucas's babies hadn't turned me off. Unbeknownst to them, I had imagined myself pregnant despite what Lucas said. Things were different. We were getting married. We were mated.
