~Tyson’s Point of View~The sun was setting and it was absolutely breathtaking. I wondered if Livia was watching it. It would have been awesome to get married with that as the backdrop but I knew all the vampires were going to come soon. We would have had a huge wedding party if I had all the groomsmen I’d really wanted, so we decided to just have a best man and a maid of honor. This was all completely new to me anyhow. I had only ever been to one wedding, and it was when a witch Shadow married last year so I didn’t have a lot to compare it to.Chance and I were both wearing khaki colored shorts with white polo shirts. We had yellow and purple tulips pinned to our chests. We weren’t wearing shoes or socks, we didn’t really see the point. Chairs had been set up for guests and there was a white archway decorated with flowers and vines. There was a red carpet laid out in the sand as an aisle for my bride to walk down. It was perfect, I just hoped she thought so too.“You doing all right
~Livia’s Point of View~The vampire was speaking, but I couldn’t focus. Tyson looks absolutely mouth watering and the way he looks at me, makes everything inside me scream and jump. I can’t believe he still wants to marry me even though I confessed about Orion. Even though I don’t deserve him.But … once I was finally able to smell his scent, the utterly intoxicating aroma that is his essence, I understood that nothing in the world could possibly matter more than him. Being with him, making him happy, seeing him smile. Being the reason for his smile.I’d read about fated mates and what happens, and heard about it from people who’d experienced it. But there’s nothing, not a single thing that can prepare you for it happening to you. There was literally no way I could look at another man out of lust again, or be beholden to another man. So when Tyson proposed, I didn’t need to think about it.Yes, I maybe should be a bit concerned about my father, but I am a grown woman and the more I do
~Tyson’s Point of View~*Yeah having our mate chase us around is hot and all but marking her would be way hotter,* Axel whines, panting after half an hour of Livia chasing us around on the beach. I completely agree with him, but this will have to do for now. And fuck, she looks so happy.*Tomorrow, I swear,* I say back to him.“You’re so beautiful Axel, what do you love the most? Your ears rubbed? Your belly? Tell me handsome,” Livia coos, stroking Axel’s head.He rubs his cheek into her hand and then abruptly rolls over, shamelessly wanting her to rub his belly. His tongue hangs out the side of his mouth.*This is beneath you,* I tease, mocking him.*Fuck you, you get to kiss her, do all kinds of things. I don’t get a she-wolf but I’m not complaining. I want this one, she smells so damn good,* he says, purring. I sigh at that. It will be hard on him not to have a she-wolf, but the Goddess knows best.All of the shifters had changed and been running around for sometime, but I noticed s
~Livia’s Point of View~Tyson was beyond the best thing that ever happened to me. I would do everything possible to spend the rest of our lives making sure he knew that. For someone who’d never been with a woman before, Tyson certainly knew his way around my body. After our hot session on the bathroom sink, and then in the shower, he made love to me … for hours until we both had no sense of time. I had no idea where he started, I stopped or anything. We were just one body tangled around each other.We collapsed intertwined like that out of sheer exhaustion … but some time later my bladder reminded me it didn’t care about sleep. I had to wiggle out from under his big arms and that took a great deal of effort. Literally every time I moved an inch he grabbed and held me tight like he was afraid I'd leave.I wanted him to get as much sleep as possible. I still had no concept of what was going to happen today, but the sun was rising at home and soon we would have to face the music.The tho
~Livia’s Point of View~Now that we had a better handle on my father, I felt a lot more confident. If Katrina hadn’t worked so quickly, he could have blocked her from spelling him. I was desperate to grow my magic capabilities with their family, but that would all have to wait for another day.“You’ve been so damn flighty I went ahead and picked the dress for you to wear before the wedding,” Carrisa says, handing me a hanger. “What’s wrong with what I have on,” I frown.“Livvie come on, I have been very patient with you this week but today is about more than just you, we have the entire community watching,” mother says.She immediately turn to begin barking orders at the hair and make-up people and maids to bring drinks.“Yes, surely MY wedding day is all about you, and everyone else,” I say, matter of fact. It takes me a bit, but I manage to get on the dress.Carrisa snorts and holds up two different pairs of shoes. I point at the ones I like. “So … spill! You haven’t talked to me m
~Tyson’s Point of View~I was sitting in the bleachers, in between Diego and Susie, ready for the show. I had a front row seat to watch these morons tear each other to shreds so I was feeling pretty good. Every couple of minutes I looked over at Livia, I still couldn’t believe she was mine. She was so perfect and beautiful. Axel purred with delight at the visual, remembering last night and how she felt.“Mr. Fowler, Mr. Holden … you may now morph if that is your wish, but that is the only magic allowed, you may be in either fay or human form,” Godfrey said, in all his glory as the center of attention. Even if he was hiding under a tent.Both suitors began grunting, shredding their shorts and taking on their change. I wasn’t thrilled at the prospect of having to fight one of them, but I’d fought demon
Axel was being a show-off and there wasn’t much I could do about it, even if I wanted to. He strutted around in front of his injured enemy, showing that even though he had several deep cuts and his back and ass hurt from falls, he wasn’t that bad off.Some random people in the crowd started yelling for Orion to submit, but I think it just egged him on. He finally got to his feet, blood soaked his shoulder and chest. He let out a massive growl and Axel just cocked his head to the side as if asking, “is that the best you can do?”Orion swooped his big hands down, trying to scoop us up but Axel jumped out of the way. This went on for several minutes before Godfrey chimed in.“Come on now, we hardly want to see you just try to pick him up and throw him,” he said, mocking Orion.The crowd applauded in agre
~Three days later~~Livia’s Point of View~“So this is my office,” I said, more excited than was truly necessary.I walked in first with Tyson just behind me, holding onto my right hand.“And here’s where I spent most of my life,” I said, reaching forward and touching my desk.It was just as I’d left it, a tidy mess. Several stacks of paperwork, waiting for attention. I actually missed it. Of course I missed it, there was a very real chance I would have lost it all. Lost my identity.Suddenly big hands gripped my waist and whirled me around. I was lifted up and deposited on my desk as Tyson stepped between my legs, forcing them apart. H
