Erix is here

Marking ritual? 

A deep frown appeared in between the eyebrows of Alora as she looked at Crimson who scratched his jaws before giving her a small awkward smile. Her hand tightened around his arm as her eyes squinted in askance. 

Crimson knew if they were alone she would have lashed out at his face for not revealing it to her in advance. 

"I see Charlotte has done a good job. You look beautiful, Alora. Right Artemis!" Rowena smiled and turned to Artemis who nodded, not moving her eyes from her daughter. Her eyes warmed witnessing her beautiful daughter in this extravagant attire and having the title of Luna tonight, officially. She really was fortunate enough to have Erix in her life as her mate. 

"Indeed. My daughter." Artemis stepped close and held her hand softly, "…had done a good job!" She took a deep breath, molding her words and looked at Alora lovingly.
