I was so excited about today. Today I got to spend the day wedding dress shopping with Brenda Blaises mother and Elana my mother. Finally I was going to be able to get to know them. Grace was joining us to as I had asked her to be my maid of honor. Blaise wasn't excited about going to be fitted for the tuxes I had chose for him and Case, but it didn't take alot to convince him.
I made my way downstairs after dressing in my floral cream colored sun dress. It made me feel beautiful. I piled my hair up on my head in a French twist and only wore light makeup. Blaise wanted me as natural as possible on our wedding day and I wanted a dress that brought out his favorite features. My eyes. When I got downstairs Elana was waiting for me. We had spent some time together since she had moved in with us, but she seemed hesitant to open up to me and I her as well. She could sense my hesitation so I didn't blame her. "You look beautiful my girl." Elana said as she hugged me. I noticed that her eyes were filled with tears. "It's crazy. It seems only yesterday I was holding you si ging you lullabies and now you are getting married." She stammered. "I know it's all happened so fast." I admitted. Just then Brenda and Grace entered the room. "Are you ladies ready." Grace asked us. "As ready as I'll ever be." I laughed.
The limo dropped us at the bridal shop in town. As soon as we entered we were approached by a consultant. She was a beautiful tall blonde woman witha beautiful build and a kind smile. "Welcome to Contour Boutique" she greeted us. She handed us a glass of wine and turned her attention to me. "Ms. Martin please follow me." She said motioning for us to go to the dressing room. "The bridal party can have a seat in the show area." She announced. I tried on over 15 dresses and none of them gave me the look or feeling I was looking floor until the last one, it was a beautiful silk a line dress with a lace back and sleeves. It buttoned all the way up the back and had a sweetheart neckline. The sleeves came down to a point at my middle fingers, and it had a long lace cathedral train. I stepped out of the dressing room and walked over to the mirrors in the show room. The consultant had place a beautiful tiara on top of my head with a long lace veil attached at the back of my head. As I looked I the mirror tears ran down my eyes. I turned around d and my mother was crying as well along with Grace and Brenda. "I think this is it." I stammered. "It's perfect." My mother managed.
The rest of the day was spent picking the maid of honor dress and the mother's dresses. They all went with off white colors, Grace found a beautiful flowing lace gown, and our mothers were equally as beautiful. We went and chose our cake and China for the reception. The wedding planner was to finish everything else per the instructions I had given her. Spending the day with my mom helped me see how beautiful and loving g a person she was. At the end of the day I asked Grace and Brenda to excuse as as we made our way to the coffee shop in town. After we ordered our drinks we sat at our table across from each other. "I thought we could use some one on one time to talk with one another." I started. "I'm not going to lie, I spent most of my life hating you. I despised you for leaving me with that monster. The things he did to me wer unspeakable. Things a father should never do to a daughter." I admitted. "But the I found d out the true reasons behind you leaving, and found out that you had fought to take me with you." I looked over at my mom who had tears staining her cheeks. "I guess I'm just hoping we can finally start to build back that mother daughter bond we lost so long ago." I whispered. "Oh honey there is nothing more in this world that I want than to be your mother " she cried. We sat there all evening talking to one another. Going back over the horror that we had both witnessed at the hands of my father. We talked about the wedding and how I was doing healing mentally.
Before we knew it it was closing time. We walked out of the coffee shop and started walking toward home. We were walking down the path through the woods when my wolf alerted me to near by danger. At the same time my mother grabbed my arm. "Someone is following. " she whispered. "Yes I know." I agreed. "We must chabge6, we can't defend ourselves this way." She informed me. We quickly hid behind a tree and began undressing. My mother undressed before me and changed into her wolf quickly, just as I was able to get the rest of my clothing off it hit me. My back started burning and I hit the ground. I felt a wetness covering my back and sides, and seen my mother run to cover me, before everything went dark I heard her growling...
