Alex unbolted the door and the door flew open. Mara's eyes almost popped out as she saw the scene. Music bloomed as a saxophonist blew a slow beat of 'You are mine...welcome to the fold' Tears of joy trailed down from Mara's eyes. Her face widened in delight and excitement. Alex saw her tears and he chuckled. He already knew it wasn't due to her happiness and joy. His hand went to her face and he swiped the tears off her face slowly. "C'mon, don't be that shocked. You're worth it," Alex said as he drew her into a hug. A smile cropped her face and she giggled. She felt secure as his agile shoulders covered her tiny body. Apart from the music, there were inscriptions on the wall and everywhere in the room. 'Welcome our mate' 'We love you' 'Be ours forever' and more. Red rose flowers
