Draco and Elena stayed at the door to greet the guests. A lot of people were introduce to Elena. All of them being pureblood of course. To Elena's relief, the Rimatova finally made it to the reception. Without thinking Elena jumped in the arms of her best friend. Disapproving whispers were heard but one look from Draco made them stop. He looked at is wife with a severe look and waited to be introduce but Elena completely ignored him until Anna asked to be introduce.

"Draco I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Rimatova." she sighed. "Next to them is Brian, their son, and Anna, their daughter and my best friend." continue Elena.

"Pleasure to meet you all." he said and turned to Anna. "So you are the girl who always gets in trouble with Elena. I heard about your, hum let's say, adventures with Elena. I do hope that you are both done with those adventures for I won't tolerate anything like what you two used to do from Elena. No matter what, you are welcome here anytime you want as long as Elena and you behave properly."

Elena glared at her husband and then gave an I-told-you-so look at Anna.

"Oh! Lena you were so right! I don't envy you girl. You are stuck with him…" started Anna before being cut off by her brother.

"Anna! That's not a way to talk." said Brian with a smile. "Anyway, Draco I want to warn you that I consider Lena like my own sister. So be careful because I will know if you hurt her in anyway. If that happens I will make sure that you regret it deeply." He said with a menacing look.

Draco just looked at him. "Was it supposes to scare me?" he laughed. "You don't have to worry I will never hurt her. I'm part veela and she is my mate. You should know that veelas are not able to hurt their mate."

"I'm not talking about physical pain." replied Brian. "Anyway, congratulations."

"Thanks Brian you are the best!" said Elena before hugging him and kissing him on the cheek.

A look of jealously passed in Draco's eyes. He watched as his wife being so happy with them and hoped to be able to make her as happy as them. They continued to greet the guests until all of them had arrived. The dinner started and everything went peacefully. The time for the first dance came too fast in Elena's opinion. As she danced with Draco she started to realize that they were soon going to leave for their honeymoon. After the dance with Draco Elena spent the rest of the evening talking with Anna. Most of the guests were finding that behavior unladylike. In their mind, Elena should have stayed with her husband the whole evening. To them it was what a proper wife should have done. Of course they didn't know that Elena was against the pureblood etiquette. None of them even dare to think that for they knew that she was the niece of their Lord. So therefore they could not voice their opinion. When Draco tried to join his wife's and her best friend's conversation they immediately shut up and looked at him with a look that said that they wanted to be left alone. An hour later Draco had enough and told his wife that they were leaving. Elena looked at her friend in panic but knew that she didn't have any choice in that matter. Draco and Elena said goodbye to their guests an left for their honeymoon. They apparated at a hotel close to a beach in Italy. Once in their room Elena put as much distance between her and her husband as possible.

"Why are you that far away from me? I won't hurt you, you know." said an exasperated Draco.

"Yeah right!" replied Elena in a mocking voice.

Draco glared at her. "You know your behavior at the reception was far from being proper. You are lucky that they were too many people there. My parents were deeply annoyed by your behavior and just wanted to yell at you."

"Well nobody said anything. Your guests didn't seem to mind at all."

"Enough! We have other things to do tonight. We will talk about that some other time." With that he came closer to Elena.

"There is no need for you to mark me tonight. You could do it another time." said Elena in a hopeful voice.

"No. We agreed that I could not mark you before the wedding. Now that we are married I fully intend to mark you. You have no idea how hard it was for me to wait. You won't get out of it. Especially since we have to consume the wedding. I will mark you tonight and that is all." he smirked.

With that he grabbed her carefully and brought her to the bed. They woke up the next morning in the arms of each other. The mark on Elena's left wrist would let everyone knows that she was taken. To Draco, the mark meant that now a part of his veela blood was running into her veins. She will undergo some change that will make her even more attractive to the others men. She will also be more open to him for the veela blood in her would make her like him although it would not made her personality changed or made her obey him.

They spent the rest of the week together in Italy. They both found themselves enjoying each other company even if Draco though that Elena's behavior wasn't what it should have been. On their last day there, a small incident made Draco decided to leave earlier than planned.


Elena was sitting at a table while Draco went to get them some ice cream. A man approached her and sat at her table. They started to talk. When Draco came back and saw them the veela in him react. He though that there was something to it than what there was. He reacted quickly.

"What exactly do you doing you are doing here with my wife?" he growled at the man.

"Nothing we were just talking. I had not any idea that she was taken" said the man in fear. "I was just leaving." The man left quickly.

Draco turned toward Elena. "What were you thinking? Going around and acting like you are single. I can't let you alone for five minutes. That's it. We are going home now. I won't have my wife acting like you have just done. It is not proper." he loudly said.

"Calm down Draco. We were just talking. He came to me." she rolled her eyes at him. "Plus I can and will talk to who I want and when I want. You don't have any control on me. You should know by now that I'm not your trophy wife. I never will. Live with it." she replied angrily.

"We are still leaving now. At least at the manor you will be watched. I think I will set mother and Tylla on you. They will make sure that you respected the rules. Come now. We are going home."

When he saw that she would not followed him. He took her arm and side apparated them to the manor where Elena knew that a lot of things will be expected of her.
