Chapter 184: A Flowery Proposal

Anthony's POV:

After picking out wedding rings, I drove Jennifer around in my sports car.

"Where are we going, Anthony?"Jennifer asked as she watched the outside scenery flash by.

"Are we not going back yet?"

"It's a surprise, Jennifer," I told her.

"You'll know when we get there."

"As long as I'm with you, I don't mind going anywhere."

Jennifer smiled shyly and leaned her head on my shoulder.

Seeing her like this filled my heart with tenderness.

Eventually, I stopped the car on the roadside and led Jennifer to a lavender field.

"Oh, wow! This is so beautiful! How did you find this place, Anthony?"

Jennifer cried out in pleasant surprise as soon as she stepped out of the car.

"Let's go inside.You can take your time looking around," I told her gently as I held her hand.

I had decided on this place a while back, and I had started making arrangements a few days ago in
order to surprise Jennifer.

I planned on proposing to her here.

A gentle breeze kept us cool as we walked strolled through the flower field with our fingers intertwined.



When we arrived at the center of the field, I got down on one knee.

Before Jennifer could realize what was going on, I took her left hand and kissed it.

"Marry me, Jennifer."

As I said those three words, countless balloons launched into the air.

Each balloon had "Anthony loves Jennifer" printed on it.

The balloons flew into the sky, surrounding me and Jennifer, and making it seem as if we were in a
world of our own.

I looked at Jennifer expectantly, waiting for her response.

Jennifer burst into tears as she watched the balloons ascend.

"I love you, Jennifer.You are the light of my life.I never thought about marriage until you came into my
life.And when I got to know you better, I knew that you were the one I wanted to marry."

As I spoke, I felt my heart beat in sync with Jennifer's.

"But, Anthony, you're still afflicted with the Love Curse..." Jennifer sobbed.

"Even if we can't undo the Love Curse, I will still marry you.I never want to be separated from my
mate."

"Yes, Anthony. I will marry you!"

Jennifer wiped her tears and smiled back at me.

"I love you too, Anthony."



After she agreed to my proposal, we embraced and kissed each other passionately.

After we broke apart, I looked at the setting sun and decided to carry out the next part of my plan.

I suggested that we resume walking through the flower field.

Jennifer had no idea what I had in store for her.

I led her down a small path.

At the end of the path were two chairs and a table laden with delicious food.

This was the second romantic surprise I had prepared for Jennifer—a candlelight dinner.

"Please have a seat, beautiful lady."

I pulled out a chair for Jennifer and she sat down with an amused smile.

"Anthony, how many more surprises should I be expecting tonight?"

Jennifer picked up a glass of wine and looked back at me.

When she blinked her big doe eyes, it felt like she was flirting with me.

"Look up, Jennifer," I told her mysteriously.

Fireworks lit up the sky.

Jennifer admired the view with wide eyes, and she grabbed my hand.

The fireworks went on for the while, filling the sky with colorful light.

I watched Jennifer as she watched the display above us.



Such a warm and romantic night obviously needed a fantastic ending.

After dinner, we returned to the flower field and made love under the stars.

I held Jennifer's naked body close to mine, and she warmly responded to my ministrations.

Our gasps and moans were accompanied by the chirping of insects.

Jennifer, the light of my life, fire of my desire, my redemption, and my soul.

Jerome's POV:

After breakfast, Skylar said that she wanted to go on a walk so I went shopping with her.

"Honey, there is a flower shop over there.Let's go and have a look."

Skylar's eyes lit up when she saw the shop.

She grabbed my arm and pulled me across the street.

I followed after her.

Because I was so focused on her, I didn't notice the car that was headed towards us.

"Stop, Skylar!"

I only noticed the car when it was ten meters away from hitting us.

I could only scream hysterically at Skylar.

I lunged at Skylar in an effort to save her, but the collision I was expecting did not happen.

My vision became blurred and the scenery around me changed.



When everything calmed down, I realized that Skylar and I were on the other side of thestreet.

"Skylar! Are you all right? Did you get hurt?" I asked, grabbing her shoulders out of worry.

"I'm fine.But how did we end up here?"

Skylar looked at me, totally unaware.

My heart ached as a realization sank in.

I quickly looked around.

Fortunately, the incident happened so quickly and the street we were on was a busy one.

No one noticed what had just happened.

"Skylar, let's go back." I took Skylar’s hand and led her home.

I was still worried that someone might have noticed what had happened.

"What's going on, Jerome?"

"Skylar, I think you just used a special power,"

I whispered as I quickened my pace.

"If you didn't teleport us, we probably would have gotten hit by that car.Skylar, never use your special
powers in front of others, okay?"

"I can't use my special powers? Even if I don't know how to use them? I've never had such abilities
before.What's wrong with me?"



Skylar looked very confused.

I took a deep breath and pulled Skylar into an empty alley.

"Skylar, only vampires have special powers," I explained in a low voice.

"What?" Skylar's face paled.

"That's impossible.I'm an orphan so I don't know who my parents are.Could one of my parents be a
vampire?"

She suddenly dropped to the ground with her head in her hands.

Feeling sorry for Skylar, I pulled her into my arms.

"You have to keep it a secret, Skylar," I whispered in her ear.

"Werewolves hate those with mixed blood.You can't tell anyone about this.Do you understand?"

"But...but..."

Skylar's eyes widened in alarm.

"Does that mean we can't be together anymore, Jerome?"

Her eyes became glassy with tears.

She grabbed my hand as tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls.

"Don't cry, Skylar." I hugged her tightly.

"I don't care who or what you are.I love you just the way you are.If the elders ever learn of your true
identity, I'll give up my position as Alpha.I'll go wherever you go," I told her sincerely.



After all the ups and downs that Linda had put us through, I was determined never to be separated
from Skylar.

"No, I can't let you make so many sacrifices for me.I'll keep my identity secret."

Skylar shook her head and wiped her tears.

"But, Jerome, I can't control my powers."

"Don't worry.I'll always be by your side,"

I declared.I was not going to let anything bad happen to Skylar.
