They make out a couple of times before discussing other things.
“So, do you have any other condition, or only one condition was enough?” Artemis asked, breathing heavily.
“As I told you that I won’t keep any unnecessary condition like sleeping on couch and bed thing. But yes, I know you would have a lot of warriors for your protection, but I don’t want the same for me; but I hate being surrounded by bodyguards.”
“But… but Regina, you can be attacked by hunters, vampires, werewolves, or other creatures if they will find you alone. And…”
“No one can find that I’m a witch until I will do anything unusual. And don’t worry, I won’t do anything unusual because I have a habit of living in the human world for a long.”
“But I figured out about you being a witch because of your Talismans. And also because of the fact that you don’t have any scent.”
“Well, I do now have my fake scent. It’s just that magic didn’t work on you because you’re my mate. I somehow figured out my mistake when you indirectly told me what I am. So, I corrected it without wasting my time.’
“You sure that you have a scent?”
“Yes. I have a scent whenever I’m in public. You can get it checked by any of your trusted people.”
“Oh, okay, if you say so. Any other conditions?”
“Umm. Nothing much, just that we will officially get married in the human world as well after telling my parents about us. And it will include all my family members and relatives.” She said, after thinking for a while, because a lot of her relatives were human, they needed to marry in front of the human world as well. Also, Artemis was a well-known personality, so his secret marriage would be the news on every news channel. She clearly remembered how her parents had a grand marriage when she was young. Not just that, they recently got married again, celebrating their twenty-five marriage anniversary.
“Noted. Miss. Even I wanted to do the same because I won’t want to keep my mate hidden. And most importantly, I want to see her in clothes other than black, and I’m positive that that day you will be wearing WHITE just like your teeth.” Caroline laughed at his choice of words.
“So, when are you going to mark me? I mean, any specific date or something?” Caroline asked.
“What can be better than today? I mean my Birthday as well as our anniversary on the same date. Double celebration.” Artemis suggested. “And this will be the best birthday present of all my life if you say YES for today then.”
“Then, it’s a YES from my end.” Hearing her, his grin widened.
Artemis quickly mind-linked Raul.

‘I can’t believe that you’re disturbing me this early morning.’ Raul groaned, rubbing his head.
‘I’m sorry for disturbing you, Raul.’
‘Ahh,’ Raul observed his calm and happy voice, which had been missing since morning. ‘What’s it?’ He asked, hoping his best friend’s mood had something to do with that GIRL. But he couldn’t take her name because he wasn’t sure about it. What if Artemis’s reason for happiness were something else?
‘My mate is here, and I will be spending my day with her.’
‘That’s… that’s a great buddy.’
‘I’m not going to disturb Mom and dad by sharing this news at this moment. So, inform them about it on my behalf.’
‘Sure. Happy Birthday again.’
‘Thank you. And keep my schedule clear today because I will be busy today as I’m going to mark today.’
‘Congratulation, buddy. This is the best news that you have given me. And also, I’m happy for you. I can’t wait to meet your mate. Have fun and enjoy your day.’
‘Thank you again.’ Informing this, Artemis closed the link and looked at the woman beside her, who was already asleep. He pushed the strands of her hair behind her hair and looked at her face carefully.
‘I wanted to do so many things.’ Bolt said in disappointment. ‘But I understand; she would have gotten tired because of all the things.’
‘Even we’re tired and sleepy after all; we didn’t sleep a single wink from the night after she left.’ Artemis said, bringing Caroline close to him. He slept holding her in his arms, without having any knowledge that someone was looking at him.
‘Soon, you will discover the truth about your birth and your real parents, Caro.’
