January 13

Tanya, Maureen, and Lily burst into the room. "Wake up Jules. It is time to get up and start our day."

They pulled Jules from her bed. They started pulling her pajamas off. "Stop, what are you doing?" Jules looked at the time and noticed how early it is. "It is 7:00 in the morning."

They laughed and Lily called out, "Tanya go grab her a sweat outfit" Tanya goes to the dresser and opens it and pulls out underwear, socks and a lavender sweat outfit. She brings it to her. Jules start to walk to the bathroom. "Take a quick shower and get dressed. We have plans for you."

Jules goes to the bathroom and does her business, takes a shower and gets dressed. She walks back into the bedroom. They all walk out of the bedroom and head downstairs. They walk into a dining room and it is filled with only females: elementals, warriors, pack wolves, coven members, councilwoman and they all shout, "SURPRISE!"

Queen Vicky, "since you're the first mating aka wedding we are having we decided to plan a special day. Starting with buffet breakfast. As the guest of honor you will serve yourself first."

Jules goes through the buffet line and everyone lines up behind her. She fills her plate with pancakes, eggs, bacon, and a bowl full of cut up mixed fruit. She heads to the chair that is decorated with a MATE TO BE sign. She realizes she is next to where Vicky's chair is usually reserved for Jonas. She sits down and an omega gives her a cup of hot tea and a glass of orange juice. "Thank you." Everyone serves themselves and eats their breakfast.

When breakfast was done she is lead into the gardens where a table if filled with gifts. "Second ok surprise. Even though wolves don't do this, vampires give bridal showers," Maureen calls out. She is lead to a chair. Cassie places a sash that says BRIDE-TO-BE and a crown on her. She spends over two hours opening gifts. Some gifts were practical household items and others were lingerie, sexy underwear, and bedroom toys.

When they were done most of the guest left. All that were left were Lily, Maureen, and Tanya. "Now we are heading to the Royal village. We will stop for lunch. Then head to a spa and beauty salon. Come back here and finish getting you ready for your ceremony.

Jules had decided to let her blue-black hair be loose curls flowing down her back. She had the front part braided back with baby breath in the back where the braids came together. She was very careful coming back from the salon for it now get messed up.

Maureen and Tanya help put on the dress and lace up the corset in the back. Her dress was white heart bust line. The bottom was a layered southern bell with tulle that flowed down to the floor with a couple feet train flowing behind her.

Lily and her mom helped place a short veil that held in place by a comb by the baby breathe.

Maureen applied her makeup: a rose pink lipstick. She did a light layer of blush and pink and purple blended eye shadows.

There was a knock on the door. Jules called out, "enter unless your my groom."

The door opened, "Not the groom, but I am your future sister-in-law, Margaret, but prefer to be called Margie." Jules had not met her future sister-in-law when her future in-laws arrived a couple days ago. Margie only arrived today. "I am sorry we did not meet when the rest of my family arrived. My mother asked for me to get something from the family vault. I went home to retrieve it. I brought you something old and borrowed to wear for your wedding. If you wish." slShe held out a velvet box to Jules.

"It was a gift my great grandmere had made for my grandmere's wedding and several brides (aunts, cousins, grandchildren have worn since. I even wore it for my wedding last year. I was hoping you would wear it today as a surprise for my brother." She opened the box and held up a gold chain necklace and earrings with a black stone. In the middle was white diamond shade in a fleur-da-lies which is the coven's symbol.

"Oh course I will wear it. Can you place it on me?"

Margie walks behind Jules and she holds up her hair as Margie attaches the necklace and puts in the earrings. She kissed Jules on the cheek. She turns to leave and Tanya says, "Oh my goodness, I forgot about that wedding tradition since most wolves don't do human style weddings."

Margie turns toward Tanya, "what tradition?"

"You know old and borrowed."

"Oh that tradition the saying is something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue."

Tanya replies, "the dress is new, the jewelry is old and borrowed, but we have nothing blue."

"Did you get a garter?"

"One came with the dress, but we did not put it on since she wasn't wearing pantyhose."

She replied, "give it to me." Maureen grabs the box sitting on the table and hands it to her. Margie ropens it up and inside are two garters and a blue satin cloth rose that can be attached to it. She attaches the rose to the garter. "Now slide this up your leg. You will have your blue." She once again turned toward the door and left the room.

Lily, Tanya and Maureen quickly got dressed. They were all dressed in maternity sage green high-low length with A-line Scoop Asymmetrical Chiffon.

King Jonas and Mayor Dietrich stood on the stage wearing a dark purple suit with a black tie. that the council had sat on a little over a week ago. It had been transformed. The stage had white columns with white sheers curtains hanging down in the back. With purple lights cast on them. Some sheers were draped with flowers and fairy lights attached to them. There were large white vases filled with pillars of flowers. There was a white and gold lounge chair in the middle. Plus white and purple floral garland across the front. They stood looking over the crowd that were made up of all of Raging Vatic, Supernatural Committee, Elementals and their family members.

Off to the far side of the stage from the steps was a band set up and stood a couple of people.

Dietrich says, "Tonight, we are gathered under the cloak of darkness to honor Mother Night and Moon Goddess who blessed a bond between Demetri Roush and Julianna Adler, in eternal companionship. Let us welcome them this full moon night," and he points to the top of the stairs.

The crowd looked at the top of the stairs. Demetri stood at the top with three men who were wearing tuxedo suits like Jonas. The band started playing and one of the people started singing TONIGHT'S GONNA BE A GOODNIGHT (The Black Eye Peas). The groom followed by his groomsmen danced down the stairs as they made their way to the stage. Several people in the crowd started moving to the music. When the groom and groomsmen stepped into the stage the song stopped.

The other singer stepped forward and the band started singing, FROM THIS MOMENT ON (Shania Twain.) The crowd once again turned toward the steps. They see a stroller that can hold five pups. The stroller is covered with various shades of purple flowers. It floats down stairs. Lily is walking behind the stroller. Following a few steps behind her is Maureen carrying a bouquet of flowers that matched the stroller. Next came Tanya carding a bouquet.

When Lily gets to the ground floor she starts pushing the stroller toward the stage. Inside were the bride and groom's pups. They looked adorable as they were sound asleep. When they got to the stage the stroller floated up the stairs. Lily pushed the stroller toward the center. She stopped with the stroller close to the lounge sofa.

Demetri stepped to the front of the stage. One of the singers walked to the stage and handed him the microphone. He looked toward the top of the steps. Everyone followed his eyes. They saw Jules and her parents. Dad stood to the right and mom on her left. She had her hands hooked on both arms closest to her. The band started playing LADY (by Kenny Rogers.) and Demetri started singing. His eyes never left hers. When they got to the bottom of the stairs they stopped walking. They stood there until he finished the last note. He handed the microphone back to the singer. When Demetri and the singer were back in place the band started playing THE WEDDING MARCH. Jules and her parents walked toward the stage and up the steps of the stage. They stopped between Lily and Demetri.

Detrich asked, "Mr and Mrs Adler, "do you freely give Julianna over to her mate?"

"We do," they say. They both kiss Jule's cheek. Then hand their daughter to Demetri. They turn to leave the stage. They walk to stand in front of the stage to watch the ceremony.

Detrich takes the bride and groom's hands and joins them together. "From this night forth, they shall walk together in eternity, their hands clasped, their still hearts possessed completely by the other. This is not a vow entered into lightly by those who shall not be touched by the withering fingers of time. Do you two accept this bow?"

Looking into each other's eyes they say, "we do."

King Jonas says, "The bond is unbreakable. Their blood shall become as one." He pulls out a knife. He unclasps their hands and cuts their palms and then rejoins their hands. Their blood enters mingles and a light blue glow appears for about thirty seconds before disappearing. The couple are looking at their joined hands"The goddesses accept this union. Should one be struck down, so shall fall the other, but also so bonded, their strengths shall be joined and the love in their un-beating hearts shall fill their dead flesh with an impossible warmth."

Ditrich says, "Look into each other's eye," their eyes move up until they gaze at each other, "so that you may look upon the visage that shall be one with you for the rest of time."

"Demetri, Will you, son of darkness, swear by the very un life that fills you, by the stolen blood that pounds through your veins, to give yourself completely, utterly, without question or doubt, to this mate? To hunt with, offering always the choicest prey first to her before taking it yourself, because you love her?"

"I will."

"Jules, will you, daughter of moon, swear by the very un life that fills you, by the stolen blood that pounds through your veins, to give yourself completely, utterly, without question or doubt, to your mate? To hunt with, forsaking the choicest prey even when offered, because you love him? To spend your days of slumber protected in his arms? If he hungers, to feed him from your own veins until he is quenched? To use your body to shade him should the hateful sun seek to touch him? And if he is taken from you, will you remain by his ashes until yours too are mingled with his own?"

Jules replies, "I will."

Jonas speaks, "May the shadows of the moon hold you both safe in its velvet folds as you begin this journey together that shall not end until time itself has no meaning."

Detrich says, "The rings now." one of the groomsmen walks over to the stroller and picks the rings up out of the trey by the handle. He carries them over to Detrich. He walks back to his place to stand. "Goddesses please bless these rings."

He hands the rings to the bride and groom. The couple exchange the rings.

"Do you, Demetri, Take Jules, to be your Queen?"

Demetri says, "I Do"

"Do You Jules, Take Demetri, to be your King?"

Jules replies "I Do"

Jonas says, "Jules and Demetri please move to the lounge." They go and sit down on the lounge and face each other. He looks out over the guest, "for this bond to take as different species the wolf must first claim her mate. The bride may now mark her bites mate." Jules canine extend and she bites Demetri where the neck runs into the shoulder. When she pulls her teeth out she picks the wound until it closes and leaves her mark.

Detrich says, "The groom may now bite his bride." Demetri bites his bride on the neck. He sucks her blood for about a minute before he removed his fangs. He sniffs her neck and the wound closes.

Jonas replies, "It is done. What the darkness of the night has brought together, let no one take them apart. You are now joined together as mates and beloved."

Detrich adds, "You may kiss the bride." Demetri leans over to kiss his bride. They kiss and fall asleep. "Groomsmen carry them up to their suite while their body now accepts each other's species." The groomsmen walk over and go to three of the corners and Detrich to the fourth corner. They pick up the lounge and carry them through the crowd and up the steps. They walk into the castle.

Lily looks out into the crowd. She makes eye contact with her mate, "glad this is over. My water just broke."
