Sébastien and Drake finally arrive at his parent's home. What they didn't expect was for the house to be in full swing. So this is the reason mother wanted me home. It wasn't because she missed me, she had other plans for me. The question is what were those plans. I turn to look at Drake did you know about this. He looked as confused as me, because he notices not only his parents car, his younger brother is here also. You didn't know about this. Man I have no clue what so ever, I was not informed of a meeting between our parents. Well we are here now there is no since debating what's going on. We both get out of the car and make our way to the house. With Vampires throughout the house everyone is aware of our arrival. My mother opens the door and greets us. I am so happy you were able to come. Mother I didn't come for whatever this is I need to speak with father it's important. My mother senses the seriousness to my voice and says okay son, I'll have your father meet you in the study. Is this something we need the council for. No mother but I really must speak to dad. Ok, son you and Drake go to the study and I'll have your father meet you in there. Thanks mom, as she turns to go I see a glimmer of worry across her face, but as quick as a blink it's gone. Me and Drake make our way to the study to wait on my father. What do you think is going on here. I wasn't aware of any meeting, so what's really going on here Drake says. I don't know but something is definitely up. Guess we have to wait and see. The door to the study opens and in walks my father followed by my mother. Should have know she would not be left out. Hello son, your mother tells me you need to speak with me. Drake, did you speak to your parents, my father asks. No sir, I will on the way out. Mom dad what's going on here. My mother smiles, it's just a gathering of family and friends. I look at Drake and he smirks, thinking what I'm thinking that this was way more than a gathering of family and friends. My father asks what is it you wanted to speak to me about? I think I may have found my mate and needed your advice. My mother squeals, her face is lit up. I could not be more happy for you son, my father says. What seems to be the problem. I guess I really don't understand how the mating works. Who is she, my mother asks. I look at Drake then back at my parents. Well you see she is human and her name is Elexsia Bradburn. My mother and father look at each other and my mother sighs. What is it I ask. Well son human mates are not all that uncommon. But Damien, no there is no buts Lacy my father says. A mate is a mate. What aren't you telling me I ask? With human mates there is a choice the human has to make. A vampire can't mate with a human fully until they have agreed to turn. If a human decides they don't want to turn their mind is wiped. You would never be able to go around her if she decides she doesn't want to turn. Because as you know once her mind is wiped, if she ever comes into contact with you she will start to remember and I'm told this is very painful and could cause permanent damage to the brain of a human. My mother has a worried expression on her face, so I ask what is it mother. If she doesn't agree then you will have to wait another century for a mate. I never wanted that for you. What are you going to do Sébastien, my mother asks. You can always just ignore it, if you don't go around her anymore maybe you can find a different mate. I can't do that mother I love her. I don't think I can stay away from her. Lacy you know as well as I do the pull a mate has over you. I know Damien, but he is our son. I don't want him to hurt if she rejects him. He has to do this for himself, you nor I will be able to interfere. Well you have given me a lot to think on I think I will go home. Sébastien, my mother calls after me. Yes mother, if possible can you bring her here this Saturday for dinner. I will see if she will agree, I won't force her. No son that's not what I meant. I am formally inviting her to dinner. If she's not comfortable then I will understand. I kiss my mother's cheek and tell her I will try. That's all I ask, thank you. I love my boy. I know you do mother I love you to. My father turns to Drake, you better go and talk to your parents. He shakes his head and heads to the living area where everyone is gathered. My father grabs my arm and says I'm happy you found your mate son. Thanks dad, tell Drake I'm in the car, I'm really not in the mood to be around guest tonight. I understand I will give your greetings to everyone. Thanks dad I love you. I head to Drake's SUV to wait on him. Ten minutes later he gets in the car. He starts the engine and we make our way back to Rosalee's.
