*Caleb*'You are distracted... is everything ok?' She whispers to my mind and I smile.'I guess I am physically ok, but mentally drained. I want to go home soon.' I reply while I nod to Craig, as if I am listening to him.'Well let's finish all this soon so we can go home, shall we?' She sends back at me and I chuckle."I am quite surprised, and truly excited about this new destination for my people, and it is not that far from your lands in case either of you wishes to visit us." The Queen smiles with enthusiasm, I am happy I made Craig do the research while he was courting Bella back in the city."Queen, we thank you for all you and your people have done, please know you can always count on us for aid if ever should you need it." I say to her; she bows her head and smils, two of her escort find her side and she proceeds to leave."Safe journey, Queen Isilwen." Meadow says as she stands next to me, I squeeze her hand and she follows me."Leaving already Rowen? You are not stayi
*Caleb*"Did you always know...?" She whispers and I tilt my head to see her eyes closed."Know what...?" I encourage her to continue, brushing my lips on her forehead."About the cave... did you know she would be there...?" She speaks quietly and I smile, her tiredness transmitting through her words."I didn't know what was there... My father, more than once, told me that if I ever felt in any danger, I should trust in that place to protect me. Many times I tried to go there but something wouldn't let me in, I never understood what it was until my father said I wasn't ready, nor was I in any danger... In time I forgot all about it, and simply kept going due to the beauty and peace that place gave me. When you mentioned how it gave you the same feelings everything came back and I knew you would be safe there..." I squeeze her to my arms softly and she sighs with a smile."So you didn't know she was there... you just knew it was going to be safe." Her words almost faint and I cuddl
- Four Months After-*Meadow*I smiled as I looked at myself in the mirror and my cheeks blushed a deep red when all I could see in front of me was a fairytale come true; I felt the heat and the excitement of my image in the soft cream vintage gown and I grinned at Cara's open mouth as she stared at me from the doorway."Oh my Goddess... Luna, you look... I am... You... I mean..." She kept stumbling on her own words and I couldn't help to laugh."Thank you, Cara... and you can call me Meadow, we are not in public, and you are myfriend... why do I have to keep reminding you that?" I teased her and smiled as a very shy Bella walked in behind her. I love how cute and sweet she is, and how smoothly she was fitting in our pack.At first, when Craig said he came without her, I was surprised, but he said it was because he didn't want to put her in any danger. She was still human but they were engaged now, Bella's mother was out of the roof happy about it. She was also aware of what we ar
*Meadow*I finally shook my head and three of them laughed at me. "I am not nervous, I am excited to begin the next step..." I replied."Well, it is time to get ready, are you sure you want to do this?" I asked Agape as I got up and she smiled brightly while she nodded."I really want to, it has been a while but now I even have practiced, so you better be there." She chuckled and walked out the door."Now let's see the final touches on your makeup and we are ready to go." Cara pulled me to a stool and grinned. "Bella, can you let everyone know that our Luna will be down sharply in 30 minutes? And they better be ready!"Bella giggled and nodded as she headed out and we were both left alone. She seemed a bit nervous but happy, and I tried to hold myself from asking her what was going on, but before I could think of anything at all, she started sobbing. I pulled her to me, not even caring if my dress was ruined and I held her tight. "Shhh... relax... calm down... what is wrong Cara?"
*Meadow*So there I was, standing in front of the doorway, my breath heavy and my heart beating fast. Bella and Cara both in front of me as we waited for our signal. While we waited, I heard the beautiful melodies of Agape's violin begin and I half closed my eyes to hear her play. "She is really good at it." I heard Bella say and I nodded, looking at the proud Gideon standing close to her."Yes, she is... and she is also a very nice person." Cara replied, her and Agape had become friends during the last months and I was very proud of them both.I could also feel Caleb close by, he was as anxious as me but a little more restless. I have felt his presence around during the day while I was getting ready but he and Alex were on a bet, to see how long would he stay away and leave me alone with the girls without him contacting me in any way. Caleb wanted to win the bet, yet more than once he had been close to lose it.The truth was, Caleb and I share a very unique bond, one that allows u
*Meadow*He smiled at me as he began, speaking calmly. "In your eyes, I have found my home. In your heart, I have found my love. In your soul, I have found my mate. With you, I am whole, full, alive. You make me laugh. You let me cry. You are my breath, my every heartbeat." He cleared his throat once more and I realized I was holding my breath when he whispered to me. 'Breath...' I chuckled and breathe heavily as I tried to hide my blush and he continued. "I am yours. You are mine. Of this we are certain. You are lodged in my heart. The small key is lost. You must stay there forever."As I heard the last words, he rubbed away a tear that I didn't know I had, running down my cheek. I kissed his hand and took a deep breath to share my part of the vow. "You are my inspiration and my soul's fire. You are the magic of my days. You help me laugh, you teach me love. You provide a safe place for me, unlike I've ever known. You free me to sing my own song. You are more of an amazement to me,
*Meadow*He sat me in bed and pulled a chair in front of me where he set. I began to chuckle for all the ceremonial he made and he ran his fingers through his hair, a little unsure of what was happening. "I am sorry love, if I worried you... I swear those were not my intentions." I began and he nodded, taking my hands in his and squeezing them tenderly."That is ok, Princess. I just know you are always up front about things, so you holding something that required my attention made me worried. It must be important." He assumed correctly.I nodded and sighed, holding his hands as much as he held mine. "I haven't been feeling well lately, so I went to the clinic and they ran some tests... The results were very conclusive..." I said and his eyes grew wide with worry. I couldn't let him go through that for long so I finished it quickly. "We are going to have pups... and by pups I mean... three pups..." I finally laid the truth and I could see his face change drastically with a wide grin.
*Eight Legged Intruders*He stared at his hands as his foot tapped on the floor repeatedly, his back leaned against the hospital wall as he checked the clock one more time. It was only 6 minutes after 7 in the late afternoon and all the nurses kept smiling at him, offering him drinks or snacks, their phone numbers.He sighed with some frustration, why above all the gifts the Goddess could give him, she had to give him a charm for the females in both were and human world? He didn't have it in him to flirt around or chase tails, as his mother would say.He was a man who wanted nothing but to do his job, make his Alpha and pack proud, get home with a smile. Well, and now her."Hey baby... do you want some free candy?" A voice startled him, he lifted his gaze and his nose twitched when the sting of alcohol and pot from the body of what it would look like a 30 year old woman a few meters away, reached him.A cop pulls her from her wrist and makes her yelp and focus on him again while t
