Despite our apparent attraction we would have many things to come to terms about each other. The way he does things is so much different than how i was raised. We ultimatly decided to postpone the wedding till the full moon but he moved into a house with me so we could figure out how we were going to live. This was the first time i did not live with Storm and im not sure i liked it.
we may have our differences but im sure we can make this work ... for the good of my people ... our people.
"Alex ..." he looked up from the book he was studying with a raised brow. "I think we can make this work .... I think we can do this ... to help our circles survive".
He grinned "you know this means we will have to produce offspring my lady" his grin faded as if something was bothering him. "... I know my circle is the one being absorbed into yours and not the other way around ... but do you think my people will still be able to hold their old beliefs?"
He truly loved his people and i could tell. "Yes ofcorse ... you are not being absorbed ... we are being joined together ... just as my people will celebrate so shall yours ... and they will be given the opportunity to celebrate each others rituals. It will be a choice through the entire circle... no discrimination because we will be one .... and ofcorse we will have to produce an heir .... that is what a marriage is ... we will be fully giving ourselves to each other which means we must consummate infront of the goddess." i was embarrassed but it needed to be out in the open.
He smiled again and i let out a breath i was not aware i was holding. "good ... i would hate to see my people be shoved aside for my choices ... if you had answered any other way i would have had to disagree with you"
I looked at him sideways and smiled" at least we agree in the most important things ... our people are important" and with that i strode over and pressed my body to his. His eyes trained on me in shock and amusement. "And what pray tell are you doing miss?" his hand instinctively swept the hair from my face as a grin turned his lips up. he was quite handsome i had to admit.
I looked down all of a sudden shy ... i had to kiss him before i lost my nerve. "I don't want our first kiss to be at our wedding ... i have to try the product before i buy it." i smirked then i swung my arms around his neck and pulled his rather tall self down to my small frame planting my lips on his before he could protest. there it was .... the fabled spark ... it felt like hot electricity playing with my lips. His arms snaked around my waist pulling me closer to him as he pressed deeper into the kiss yet still respecting me and not trying to take control. My teeth played with his lip as i grinned against his mouth. He let out a breathless chuckle, "it looks like the goddess approves of our union... can we do this again sometime?"
that made me giggle ... ok so this is a good thing ... "ofcorse ... after our handfasting ... when you are my husband you can do that as much as you want... possibly more than you want ... because i want to" as im standing there about to kiss my future husband again my best friend bursts in the door.
"so i think we should go into town for shopping there are these stores for kids with costumes that i think Rayne will... like..." her eyes trained on us and she came into the kitchen and she stopped in her tracks. she instantly jutted her hip out and crossed her arms and grinned. Storm was about 5 foot 6 inches with straight black hair and a slim muscular build, she was a sleek warrior ... perfect huntress. a smirk trails on her lips.
"did i interrupt something?" we sprung apart as she starts a hearty laugh. I attempted to smooth my shirt, my fiery red eyes trained on her as i steady my breathing. "nope just communing with the Goddess herself ... she told me to proceed".
Storms eyebrow raised as she smiles again."I guess we need to find a dress too huh?"
My face went red and alex grinned. "I mean ... I would prefer to be wed as soon as possible after that" he eyed me and smiled" commune with the goddess ... with her blessing our circles will unite and prevail"
Storm came and grabbed my hand and smiled at Alex "be careful Romeo ... april showers bring may flowers ... with the way you two were just attached i would not be surprised if she were pregnant by the end of may" she teased. his smile dropped to a face of awe as his eyes shone with excitement.
I have lived with him for a week and now im sure of one thing ... I CAN do this.
- -a bit later out with Storm- -
i was trying on dresses when Rayne clapped while i was wearing a simple almost pale blue dress with royal blue accents, it had long see through flowing sleeves that felt like wings and it fell around my hips loose but also showing off my curves. i think it was supposed to be a knee length high low dress but it was almost floor length with a slight train for me ... its hard to find floor length dresses at almost 5 foot tall ... even harder to find things that dont make me look old with my white hair. its supposed to show that im goddess chosen ... but for what?
"what is it my baby love? is that the dress? is that the dress aunt Everly is going to wear tonight?" Storm cooed at Rayne as she blew spit bubbles. shifter babies develope a little faster that human babies so at 4 months old Rayne was already sitting up and crawling ... but she was still the same size as a human 4 month old.
we bought this dress and i planned to wear no shoes, then we headed to the baby clothes and picked out a few things that would look great with ears and a tail to help hide that Rayne was a shifter.
