Merilyn, a beautiful bride - I

I have to move all the way upstairs so that if anyone saw me coming down the stairs, they would know that I had been to my room and not into the kitchens. 

I was also hoping that no one would catch my scent in the kitchens and the smell of food and blood would overpower it. Even though I had a hard time believing that Tristan would not catch it if he entered. If.

Rula had left me alone after she checked the whole corridor to make sure that no one was present and could witness me coming out of the servants hallway. After that I had been making my way downstairs into the grand ballroom where the ceremony was being hosted. 

My steps Were hurried because I had taken and definitely could not risk being found out where I had been. When the doors finally came into my view and I released a sigh of relief before a hand curled around my elbow and pulled me making me yelp.
