Chapter Twelve
Obito waited until the crowd in the foyer had moved into the dining room before leaving the bedroom. He paused outside the door of the library and then tapped on the door opening it. He found Lady Liadrin standing by the hearth. "Dinner is ready, my Lady." He paused and then continued. "You look a lot like your mother; I should have made the connection earlier."
The knight bowed. "Thank you for the compliment, my mother was a wonderful person. Guess we should head downstairs and support our parents."
Obito frowned. "He didn't tell you did he?"
The woman reflected his frown. "Tell me what?"
"You're his daughter …"
"I am afraid my father needs more than blood to prove loyalty, though now you have my curiosity peeked are you going to tell me whatever this deep dark secret is or am I going to have to ask my father in front of his friends?"
Obito sighed and unbutton his cuff pulling up his sleeve to reveal the life-bond scars on his left arm. "Your father didn't soul-bind to my mother, I'm his mate."
"What!"
Obito shut the door and held up his hand. "Please, be quiet … give me a moment to explain!"
"By the Sunwell, this is worse than soul-binding with Amaya … you're a child! Can you even fulfill your role as a soulmate? Wait until I get down there, boy is there going to be some interesting table talk for everyone to hear."
"Wait please," Obito begged standing between her and the exit.
"How in the hell are you going to justify this?" She growled, reaching for the door.
"I was raped while in the Outlands, my soul shattered … your father gave his heart to me so I'd live." Obito said, not looking her in the eyes. The hand on the door fell.
"I … I didn't know," Lady Liadrin said stepping back.
"He and my mother concocted this ruse to protect me, I've only recently completed my sixty-first rank as a Ranger of Silvermoon, there is so much more I need to learn. To give me the freedom to do so, our parents will pretend to be lifemates so I can roam freely and get stronger."
A cool gauntlet lifted his chin so his gaze would reach hers. "My father has much to answer for," she said looking into his eyes. "But for your sake I shall hold my tongue tonight. Shall we go play our parts?"
He buttoned his cuff once more and offered her his arm, she took it. He escorted her down to the crowded dining room. A dozen eyes turned toward them, Rommath gave them a broad smile. "Ah our children have at last arrived."
The men stood as Liadrin took her seat to the right of her Father. Obito took the last empty chair to the left of his mother. Othan and the other cook staff started serving the first course. Dinner moved along quickly with the table chat mostly being politics and the current state of Silvermoon. At one point when a guest asked Rommath if he was excited about the upcoming ceremony, Rommath fondly traced his Mother's cheek and nodded.
This action got a snort followed by a cough from Lady Liadrin. Obito hid his own grin behind a quick drink of wine. Rommath shot him an alarmed look with a quick glance at his daughter.
"Excuse me," Liadrin said taking a sip of her own wine. "Something went down wrong. A toast to a long and happy life for my father and his lifemate," she said her eyes on Obito at the end.
Obito raised his own glass and joined in on the chorus of congratulations. "He's going to kill me," he whispered to Liadrin.
"Don't be afraid of him Obito, the fact he has jumped through so many hoops tells me how deeply he has grown to care for you in such a short time. Thank you for letting me in on your secret, I won't tell a soul." She replied lifting her glass to him.
"Excuse yourself from the table, now!" Obito flinched slightly at the power behind the words.
He stood and kissed his mother's cheek and bowed to the guests. "My apologies, I must leave your pleasant company. Thank you for your warm welcome and congratulation of my Mother's union, hopefully I'll see you all at the ceremony."
His wishes were returned as he left the dining room and walked up the stairs. When he arrived in the bedroom Hotaru looked up from her bed in the corner. He walked over and offered her an apple which she ate hungrily. "I need you to go to the woods, my friend. I have a feeling things are going to become very heated in here soon and I don't need two souls to contend with." Hotaru nuzzled his neck before flying out the open window and disappearing.
He watched the minutes on the clock tick by slowly, ten minutes felt like an eternity when the room suddenly became alive with energy. He was ready for it and braced himself for the hand that struck the side of his face.
"It wasn't your place to tell her!"
Obito wiped the blood from his lip and looked into the eyes of his lifemate. Rommath was furious but didn't have the demented look from that awful night in the hall. "I deserved that, I'm sorry, I saw her as an ally and I need more people on my side."
"Your side … this isn't about sides, it's about you living to reach your prime. The fewer people that know a secret the better it stays that way … a secret!" Rommath pulled him close, his arms were trembling.
"Is that why … my mother doesn't even know my father is alive?" Obito asked.
"Why do you keep chasing that ghost …"
"Stop! Just stop it … stop with the lies, the only way you found me in the Outlands is because I cried for help to the man named Rater Grimshade and he sent a message to you. Damn it; don't treat me like a fool!"
Rommath cupped Obito's face firmly in his hands. "Bury that name and that information as deep as you can into your heart or I'll be obligated to remove it by force. Your father is on a very dangerous mission for the sake of all Sin'dorei if you haven't already destroyed his chances of success with your unwavering faith in him, that knowledge will sign his death warrant. Ask me no more on the subject for I won't answer."
He released Obito as the bedroom door opened and Amaya and Liadrin rushed in. "You know you two don't really make convincing actors in this play, it's coming out more like a comedy than a drama." Amaya scolded.
"Luckily, I and Amaya are very good actresses and managed to salvage it." Liadrin said eyeing both of the men.
Obito's head reeled from the information gained. Finally someone confirmed what he had known all these months, his father was alive.
"Obito, are you okay?" His mother asked concerned.
Obito looked at Amaya unable to veil the pain in his eyes. How could his father willing break the life-bond like that, knowing his mate could very well parish from it? What was so damn important he let those two … do what they did to him?
"Obito, be silent," Rommath warned silently.
"I'm just tired, Mother." Obito said.
"Hmm … well make sure you are getting plenty of rest I'll have Othan brew some tea before you go to bed tonight, should help you sleep." Amaya said.
Obito nodded. "Thank you, Mother. Did our guests seem to buy the ruse?"
"Yes, I didn't sense any traces of doubt, though afraid my reputation might have taken a bruising. Everything is ready for the ceremony in two days."
"All right, then if you'll excuse me think I'll have Winda draw a bath for me and relax for a bit before bedtime. A cup of tea while I do so would be great." Obito said.
"Liadrin you can sleep in your bedroom if you wish," Rommath said. "Or return to the Blood Knight's barracks, whatever you desire."
"I think I'll stay here for the next couple of days, get to know my Father's mates a bit better." Lady Liadrin bowed. "For now I bid you good night."
His mother kissed him on the cheek and promised to send up the tea and passed Winda walking into the bedroom. Obito took Rommath's hand before he could leave. "Join me?" he asked half expecting rejection.
"Of course," Rommath said.
