Tine was so busy pacing that he almost missed the moment that Mira came down the stairs. Rushing to her side, he watched as her eyes dilated as their hands touched. He knew in that instance that she knew he was something other than human. He waited with no small amount of trepidation. Mira looked over at the man that she had quickly fallen in love with and smiled her best smile. In that smile Tine saw her love for him as well as her acceptance of whatever he was. Releasing the breath that he had unintentionally been holding, Tine returned her smile and leaned in to kiss her cheek."Here now! None of that!" Mira heard her mother say."Leave them be, dear. I remember when you chose me. We couldn't seem to keep our hands off of each others." Hearing his wife clear her throat loudly, he then tried to recant by saying, "Of c

The next morning Mira woke feeling incredibly refreshed. Her body didn't ache anymore, neither did her head. Her vision was clear and so was her mind. She sat and quickly began to dress in anticipation of seeing Tine and and making choices for their home. She was just getting into her dress when Mary entered."Here Miss, I can help you with that. We should get you downstairs. Cook has laid out a wonderful breakfast and your young man is waiting on you. Now, let's get you dressed for your young man." Mary smiled at Mira in the mirror as she laced up her dress for her.Downstairs, Tine and her parents were waiting at the table as she entered. Tine and her father stood as she entered the room. Reaching out, Tine gently guided her to her seat and cook passed the dishes to her mother, letting her serve herself and pass the dish to

After spending the better part of the afternoon with the young designer, Tine was ready to have some time alone with Mira. Standing, he nodded to her mother, who had just entered the room."I would like to take Mira for a stroll, if I may?" At her mother's nod, Mira smiled. Tine gently guided her with a hand on her lower back. Just as they were about to reach the door someone knocked. Tine was hesitant to answer the door. While his mate did live here, this wasn't his home to allow anyone entrance to. Just then, almost as if she had heard him, Lady Amethyst bid him to let the guest in. When he opened the door, Raptor stood there, his eyes wild and red rimmed. His hair mussed like he had run his fingers through it multiple times and his heart was on his face. B

Mira and Tine could feel the palpable tension when the entered her home. But Lady Amethyst, determined to keep their secret until the Harvest festival and the wedding, stood and greeted her daughter with a kiss on her cheek. "There you are, my darling. Look how wonderful you look. You're cheeks are flushed and your eyes a positively sparkling. You and Tine must be hungry. It is almost time for dinner and cook has outdone herself as usual. She has leg of lamb with mint jelly, squash au gratin, fresh pickles, leafy vegetables and a wonderful chess pie for dessert. Come in and get ready for dinner."Mira looked from her mother to Raptor. Only just then seeing the resemblance in the shape of their faces, the up-tilted eyes and the honey toned skin. Gasping, she squeezed Tines hand, needing something to steady her. Tine sens

Mira woke to the sun's rays coming through her window. She stretched lazily and got up out of her bed and started her morning routine. as she was about to pull her favorite light blue dress from her wardrobe, her mother entered the room. She was carrying what appeared to be a pair of trousers, a white shirt and a lightweight jacket."Hey you go, My Darling. I had these made for you earlier this year. The tailor just had them delivered to the house. I thought you might like to wear them while we are out with Tine. After all, we will be on horseback for quite a bit of time, and I thought perhaps you would be more comfortable in trousers." Lady Amethyst walked into the room and nonchalantly laid her packages on her daughter's bed like it was an everyday occurrence for her to wear pants. Many women in the village did. Espec

Looking at the site stretching out before them, Mira and her family were aghast at the progress that three days had made. There had to be at least two hundred men and women, craftspeople, working on the stone building. Mira, sitting up straight, suddenly realized something."This has been going on for longer than three days. This would take two weeks. Even with this many people. You've been very busy, haven't you?" She asked Tine with narrowed eyes.Tine had the grace to look slightly sheepish. Raptor looked from his great-granddaughter to her suitor and his friend, smirking. "Can't wait to see you explain this one. Especially since I wasn't here for your introduction.""Yes, well, I ....I started the day after the ball. I had already planned on moving back, but when I saw you, Mira, I knew that I had to stay in this area. I couldn't leave what has turned out to be the best thing that has ever happened to me, now could I?" Tine sat back and watched the effect his words had on his mate

Miles away..... Sitting in the back part of the common room in a local Inn three men talked quietly amongst themselves as they planned."Son, I'm telling you to wait. If you wait and let them get married an wait until MIra is pregnant, that boy will do whatever we want to get his heir back. He will even surrender his wife to you." Said the older of the three."That's the point, Father! I want her before he has her. I want to ruin her in a way that that bastard will not want her anymore. I want her to experience absolute terror knowing that I will impregnate her and there is nothing she will be able to do anything about it. I will then take my child from her and impregnate her again. I want to make he

"Oww!!! Mira yelled as another pin pricked her skin."If you would stand still, my darling, you wouldn't get stuck quite so much." Lady Amethyst said."Mother, I have no wish to play the spoiled princess, but I absolutely cannot stand this fabric next to my skin any longer!""The young lady is right, Amethyst. The fabric has yet to be treated and softened and is rather itchy." Stepping back, the seamstress crossed her arms and appeared to be in deep concentration, when she suddenly snapped her fingers. "I know. I have a bolt of the same material that has been cleaned and treated for softness and is a lovely shade of pale blue." Turning, she left the room and came back with a bolt of beautiful material. The pale blue was almost sparkling. When Violet, the seamstress got c

Far away, in the East.Fragrant incense burned and created a mist that seem to wrap around the tall, powerful man as he entered the room. When he reached the center, he knelt down and bowed with his forehead touching the floor."Rise, my son. I have summoned you for a reason. Join me and we will speak on many things." The old man, with a shock of long white hair, stood and began to walk towards the private garden outside the throne room. Despite his apparent age, the old ruler moved with elegance and grace. His body fluid. His movements, like that of the younger man, spoke of power and authority. As they entered the garden, a young woman, in her early twenties, ran to join them. The old man caught her up in his arms and hugged her. "I missed you, my orchid. How was your trip to the south?"The young girl, an identical replica of the young man, in feminine version, spoke, "Hot, humid, sticky and the people were so rude. They never did acknowledge me

Amethyst looked down at the note in her hand that her mother had sent her. Many emotions were going through her, chief among them, disbelief. The Eastern Kingdom had not visited their village in a very long time. Her grandmother had not been born when the trading and visits had stopped. Amethyst,Be prepared.
