Chapter 19 ~ We Are Unique

We danced a few more songs and shared a drink with Grandma and Grandpa. It has been such a wonderful night… but now, I want some alone time. I took Aaron’s hand and tugged him to his feet. I said “Good night everybody!” He scooped me into his arms and ran.. He whispered “Everyone is going to know what we are going to be doing, with that little good night of yours” .. I giggled and told him “Sureee.. Let’s go with that.. because lifting me in your arms and running out of the room wasn’t a clue!”

We barely made it to our room! He started kissing me.. undoing my dress and still carrying me. A man of many talents! When he stood me on my feet, beside the bed.. my dress fell to the floor. He gently laid me down.. kissing me and running his hand up my thigh.. hip.. following the curve of my waist, until he cupped my breast and squeezed.. gently flicking the nipple with his thumb.

He positioned himself above me.. after making sure I was lubricated enough to stop some of the first time pain. He whispered “You are so beautiful. I love you” He kissed me deeply as he plunged through my hymen.. I practically screamed into his mouth. He kept saying “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, baby!” But, it wasn’t his fault.. that privilege belongs to our creator!

We showered together and he showed me the meaning of ‘saving water’ … making love while we washed each other’s bodies. He was insatiable..and I was voracious! I wanted to experience as much as I could. Once our bond completely kicked in, after our wolves shared their venom..which is a marking seldom done anymore…but Esterlin and Artemis wanted their marks to show, as well… we fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up before Aaron even stirred… Stretching, I was surprised to find I wasn’t even sore. Going into the bathroom, I flipped the lights and let out a loud yelp. The front of my snow white hair had black strips framing my face. Then, I noticed my mark. It looked like a tattoo.. covering my left shoulder and running down my upper arm to my elbow. Esterlin and Artemis stood proudly under a weeping willow tree.. Artemis howling at the moon with Esterlin’s head tucked into his neck. It was beautiful.. and startling.

I ran into the room and over to Aaron. Shaking him, I kept saying “Wake up, babe! Wake up! Something’s happened.. we need answers. He groaned… rolling over. He grinned at me and asked “You colored your hair? I like it.. Gives you an edgy look.” I smirked back, saying “Yeah? Come with me.. I want to show you something “ Leading him into the bathroom, I dropped my robe and turned us both to face the mirror. He yelled “What the fuck!?” Nodding at him, I replied “Yep!”

His hair had a shock of white on the right side…the same color as my hair. Mine was the color of his… like side bangs, almost. He examined the tattoos and whispered “What does this even mean? I have never heard of anything like this!” After we showered, we were walking out of the dressing room, and Grandma opened the door and walked in

She yelled “You’re awake!” Running into the hall, while Aaron and I looked at each other. The fuck was that!? Shortly, she returned with Grandpa, Andrew and Gavin. Andrew said “You sure had us worried! The first day, we thought.. okay.. rough night.. so nobody disturbed you.. the second day, when a housekeeper couldn’t get you to answer the door, she told Gavin. He came to check on the two of you. When he couldn’t rouse you, he came and got Dad and me. Yesterday..the tattoos appeared.. now, today, the hair. Strange shit! But, you’re awake now! We are researching.. have come up empty, so far!”

Aaron and I stood listening.. flabbergasted! He says “Three days??? No wonder I’m starving!” And walked out the door, pulling me behind him. He’s going to attack this with a full stomach!

We sat down, filling our plates.. when Aaron asks “So, what do we know? It obviously has to do with our wolves mating… I would think. Has anyone read the Elven Chronicles? I had started it.. but the legends are worded strangely and I couldn’t follow it”

Grandma tells us “Tremaine and Evan have been in the library since yesterday morning. We haven’t heard what they’ve found.. if anything.” I nodded and asked “How did this happen? Has anything like this happened before, that anyone knows of? Don’t get me wrong.. it’s kinda cool! The tattoo is badass.. and my hair looks like I’m a biker chick!”

Aaron laughs and says “Yeah! And mine looks like I’m a Punk Rocker! Not a good look for an Alpha.. do you think?” Everyone laughs and Grandpa says “Nah.. you look distinguished. It just gets curiouser and curiouser with the two of you!”

I look at Aaron and smile “I’m going to the library to help the guys.. Whatever this is… it’s significant! We need to figure it out, before Callan constructs his portal… I have a feeling it’s something to do with that! I will be checking the history of the past wars between the realms. There may be something there.. something similar! Most assuredly, there has to be a record of something like this happening before!”

Aaron responded “I’m not sure I like the idea of history repeating itself.. I prefer to think… We are unique!”
