Purification

Liana's pov
I come out of the shower, wrapping a white towel around my body…only to see Jace in my room, playing with Cheryl on the bed.
“Brother?”
He looks at me and smiles.
Cheryl doesn't like strangers but she is way too fond of Jace. Maybe she finds him handsome!
“Let me change first…”
My feet walk over to the wardrobe next to the bed, and I start looking for a dress to wear…yet a strong force presses against my back, and my eyes widen.
“Brother?”
His hands slowly take out a red dress from the wardrobe and pass it to me.
I turn around and our eyes meet.
“This is perfect for purification.” Words come out of his mouth.
“Uhm…thank you!”
The dress is short and has many small white roses covering the bottom whereas the top is plain and off shoulders.
His fingers touch my blue hair and a smile glints on his lips.
“Alpha Lucien will be here soon.”
I nod my head.
“Don't get out of your room or do anything else that may affect the purification, okay?”
“Yes, brother!”
He kissed my forehead.
“Get dressed and come downstairs.” He steps back and slowly walks out of the room.
Evelyn and Waylen are out of town. It is just me alone with my brothers. Even Poly took a day off.
I change into the red dress and look at myself in the mirror. The dress is indeed gorgeous.
It sometimes feels weird that my family does so much for me, yet my hands have no power to return the favor.
“How about I cook for them?”
All of a sudden…
The door opens again, and this time Nash steps into my room, closing the door behind him. His gray eyes observe my body from top to bottom.
“You're ready!” He says in his deep voice.
“Is the Alpha here?” My eyes widen.
He doesn't answer…instead steps into my space and closes the distance between us to mere inches.
“Uncle Lucien is waiting for you downstairs!” His husky voice whispers.
“Uh…then let's go…”
He is too close and I can even feel his breathing on my neck.
“Sister”
“Huh?”
“Forgive me for this!”
“For what?”
He cinches both my hands above my head and pins me against the mirror with all his strength.
“Brother!”
His free hand cups my cheeks and he sucks my lower lip forcefully. I am unable to breathe, nor can I push him away.
His tongue goes inside my mouth, parting my lips and entangling with mine.
He kisses me until my lips are bruised.
*Deep breath
“I am sorry!” He whispers.
Tears roll down my eyes and my head turns to the window. His thumb touches my bottom lip and brushes through the blood on them.
My body is shaking.
There are so many questions in my head, yet my lips refuse to ask.
*Knock *Knock
“Come out, sister!”
Royce is here to escort me downstairs.
Nash jumps out of the window and disappears like a wind whereas I open the door for Royce.
“Was someone here?” His brow twitches as his eyes search through the room.
“Just me and Cheryl”
He holds my hand and takes me downstairs with him, where Alpha is already waiting with his secretary, Florida.
“Wow! You're looking gorgeous!” She praises me as soon as her gaze lands on my red dress.
I bow to Alpha.
He is sitting on the couch with Flerena and the four Maxwell brothers are standing behind them.
There are three more people.
“Sister” Kayden utters.
“This is Silas Houston, a priest from the monastery.”
I bow to him.
“This is Dorian, Priest Silas' disciple!”
“This is Nathan, he is also a disciple!”
“Then shall we start the purification?” Alpha asks.
My head nods.

Nash’s pov
Flerena takes out a silver pin and pinches her wrist slightly. She stays quiet and slowly loses consciousness.
“Let's take her to the cathedral.” Uncle Lucien commands.
Dorian comes to me and smiles.
“She's a rare beauty, isn't she?”
I stay quiet.
“It doesn't matter if she is staying with you guys here, but in the end, she'll be mine to sacrifice in the ritual.”
“As you are very well aware my father was the one who made The Night Wolves secret society.”
“As his son, the winner should be me!”
I walk out of his sight.
My lips never like to engage in useless conversation…until it involves blood.
She will be unconscious for two days because of the pin that Flerena pinched on her wrist.
They're all well prepared.
Upon arriving at the cathedral…
Everyone is dazed to see her blue hair and the girl who is going to be a sacrifice sooner or later.
Only the participants are allowed to stand at the purification. The rest of the members will stay in their rooms.
Jace is the one carrying her in his arms.
There's a big cemented bathtub with roses floating on the water and candles all around it.
Jace put her into the water gently.
“Start the purification!” Uncle Lucien commands Flerena.
“She looks like a goddess!” Silas observes every inch of her body with his lustful eyes and so are the others.
I clench my fist in rage!
If there wasn't any age limit, he would have taken her as his mate for the supreme Alpha.
Flerena steps forward whereas the rest of us stand on the left side of the pond.
She starts chanting spells and a black fog shrouds the air. Her dark spell is stronger than anything.
But…
The spell refuses to touch her body.
“Something is wrong!” Flerena panics.
“What do you mean?” Lucien asks.
Silas gets furious, too!
Flerena sighs.
“She's not pure!” She announces.
Everyone is shocked.
The transit was rare and the next transit will come after three weeks for the purification.
Their plan is ruined!
Silas slowly walks over to Jace and glares at him.
“What went wrong?”
“How is she not pure?”
Jace stays silent because even he is not aware of the truth that…I kissed her.
A smile glints on my lips.
