Frizabelle
A month passed
Friday - Morning
5 am
I woke up early once again and immediately went for a run which I am not sure why I did wake up early this time. But taking some run fresh in the morning which the sun wasn't showing up to the misty sky was definitely exciting.
'Excited?'
"Not much but I love this adrenaline I am feeling." I honestly told Lena while we took some jog around the perimeter.
'Well, it's been a month since we had that dream with Ion.'
"Yeah and those past few weeks, Ceres became busy but still never forget to irritate us with her sweet-teaseful comment." I said as I jumped from log to another then do some somersault before landing to the ground.
'But be honest, you love that affection and time she was showing.'
"True but I'm just hoping to see Ion as well in Ceres. I've sort of wanted to make love with them both after the wedding." I answered as I jumped from a stone then to the trunk of the one oak tree before climbing it.
'Oh someone is horny.'
"Shut up Lena. I know you feel the same way." I countered as I jumped from branches to branches of each tree around.
'Can't argue with that.'
As I did 360 somersault and landed smoothly on the ground I heard some rustling somewhere behind me which I didn't care at all. I just kept running as my feet hit the ground. I ran like a speed of light then immediately shifted into my half form before meeting Ceres claw. Honestly, it would almost hit my face if I didn't catch it.
"Getting better on quick shifting." Ceres said proudly while she kept on attacking me which I defended and countered as well.
"Well, I have a great teacher and a very supportive mate next to me." I told her which made her smile and moved swiftly behind me as her arms began to snaked around my waist but I didn't let her. I suddenly did a flexible split before I did some backflipping and ran away from her.
"Dang it. I almost caught you." Ceres playfully whined before running after me again. I can't help but giggle from it as we both run around the perimeter.
We might have looked like we were having fun and playing but to be honest our senses still could feel the threat if there was something or somebody passing our territory. As we kept running around the woods, we finally made it to the last stop of our patrol which was on the open field. I was panting and trying to get some cold and fresh breeze from the air that was blowing on this cold morning. I was about to go back inside the house when a very bloody red rose popped in front of me. I smiled and took it from the hand of my lovely mate, Ceres who was grinning like a lovestruck teenager.
"Like feeling like a teenager?" I asked her which made her blushed but she definitely wasn't hiding it either. She was smiling before she pulled me into her arms and inhaled my scent before kissing me forehead.
"Ready for bells, my beloved queen?" Ceres asked which made me look deeply into her eyes and I saw Iolana waiting for my response as well. I just gave her a knowing smile with a wink before dashing off inside the house. Leaving her in her lustful thought.
As I got back inside the house, in the kitchen I took a refreshing drink of water before taking two or three pieces of red seedless grape on the island countertop before heading to my room. When I got inside the room, I immediately did my daily routine within the bathroom and when I was finally refreshed, my mother suddenly bragged inside my room. Good thing, I am wearing my bathrobe.
"Mom, seriously!" I groaned as I walked past her since I had to prepare my clothes but I couldn't or my mother won't let me.
"Who told you to get prepared on your own? Do you know how to wear them or even how to fix your makeup and be a beautiful lady for once in your life?" Mom suddenly surprised me with her outburst about beauty. I'm totally speechless.
"Mom, you sounded like I am not even a lady in the first place." I sighed heavily as I dismissed what I just said. I am still wearing my bathrobe and she bragged inside my room. There goes my privacy around her.
"You're not a lady, you're still a girl until later." Mom said directly at me which hurt by the way but at the same time I knew what she was referring to. I sighed and went to give my mother a tight hug.
"Oh my baby is getting married." Mom teared up as she hugged me back which I chuckled since its very rare to see her cry. She's a tough woman.
"Mom, Ceres and I will still live here or maybe build some house of our own somewhere in the perimeter." I told my mother which made her nod before pulling me inside my walk-in closet where my mother's wedding gown awaits.
They made some alter from simple one tone color white gown into something Ceres and I have the same touch which was blood and chocolate. It was still a simple venus-cut white chiffon dress but we added another layer of beautiful white see-through which has faded to red. It also contains a swirling chocolate vines with some dust of silver along and a thin silver belt but for the shoulder of the gown, there's a bloody rose pin that came from Leonora, Ceres' grandmother.
Each time I am looking at this gown, my mind still can't believe that I am going to be married at my early age of 18 since my mother was indeed pushing me too. Well, we're not technically living in the lives of human society - meaning, we have our own way. As we found our mate, we could either marry them or just be rejected and wait for another chance in love. In my case, I'll be marrying my mate later this afternoon which means I'm not in school. Well, it was also a great escape from the school part but after being married, I've got the feeling I still have to finish schooling before my father turned the Alpha title to me. Anyway, my mother and I with some of my friends help me get ready for my wedding while for Ceres, I just hope my father won't kill her on their hunt around the woods. My father said it was for their bonding and welcoming in the pack. Well as for me, he always does that each time I am needing my mate next to me. Just thinking that made me want to devour Ceres and making me feel a little hot as well excited.
"Friz, you'll have her tonight just be patient." Yume told me which I can tell that she sensed my heat slipped out from my body.
"Can't help it, Dad took her away from me again…it's okay if they just talk downstairs but nope. He chose to hunt in the woods." I pouted which exactly made Avery put the rose pink lipstick on my lips.
"Oh, you know your Dad, always do some stunts like that because I told him to be cautious around people new to him." Mom said as she fixed my hair which made me sighed.
"Mom, how did you feel when you married Dad?" I asked out of the blue since I've got some blues around my feet.
"To be honest, I really want to kill your father because I am a rogue and I still do want to kill him. He irritates me but mostly when he was too busy around the pack businesses. I want his attention all to me but aside from that, walking the aisle while he was waiting at the end of the altar, Honey, I really want to run where he was. I want to stay beside him as long as the goddess let me. I love your father very much to the point of wanting to kill him with my own hands. I'll be in my hysteria if someone did that before me." Mom answered which made me smile though some part of it made me wonder if it's true or not.
"Frizabelle, honey, you choose to be mated to the great fallen rogue. You'll do great being with Ceres and I can tell that this pack will stir up something new that the moon goddess prepares us to be. Just be ready and stay in love with your mate. Your father and I love you very much." Mom continued which made me think of what the moon goddess planned for us but I didn't dwelled on the thought since there's a big butterfly that I need to face today. My very own wedding.
After the preparation, my friends, my mother and even my sister who just came up to my room to check me were giving me such a awe expression like they never saw me fixed myself - well, I don't do so much to myself since I like plain and natural. Just me. Anyway, I was looking at them since I am waiting for them to say something but they were just staring at me like I am new person.
"Do I look okay?" I asked a little shyly which made them shake their heads and speak all together which I couldn't understand.
"You look beautiful like your mother." Dad spoked behind them which made everyone shut their mouths.
"Am I?" I asked for confirmation which made him approach me and kissed my forehead.
"You always do." Dad said which made me hug him tightly.
"Don't you dare cry!" Mom suddenly said which made us giggle since I almost cried over this one.
"Let's get going." Francesca said as she pushed everyone out of the room and left me and Dad in my room.
"Shall we, my princess?" Dad asked like a gentle knight like he always did when I was still a little kid. I nodded and took his hand then he led me out to my room.
Nerves was getting into me as we walked down to the stairs since our wedding was in our pack house garden.
"Take a deep breath, princess." Dad whispered as he patted gently my hand that was on his arm.
1:00 pm
I did what he told me and we took some few steps to reach the garden. I could see everyone in the pack were smiling while some of the kids clapped excitedly for some unknown reason but they were here. I knew some were not happy with this because Ceres was a vampire rogue but they couldn't do anything about it since it's the alpha decision and I am his daughter. As we almost reached the half of the garden, a melody from a piano suddenly played which I really know. It's the only song that I never speak or tell to anyone since I'd rather dedicate that song to someone really meant for me, my other half, my mate, my lover, my partner, my wife and the song was entitled I Do by Marie Digby feat Jericho Rosales.
When the music ends
When the lights go dim
When there's no one else around
I will still be here
When the colors fade
When the darkness breaks the light
When hope is out of sight
Love will be our guide
I was on my own and just going with the flow of life until Ceres came and crushed that very night. She became my irritation and made my emotions resurfacing. She was the only one who could put my mood into such a swing even though I hurt her in the process, her love never failed me. She stayed even if I didn't ask her. She just possessed the kind of unconditional love that made my heart finally submit to the feeling of loving her.
'Cause love is strong,
Love is never wrong
Love is where we belong
Hearing this line, I began to cry while walking to the altar that they made which was underneath the cherry blossom tree.
I'll make this clear
I will always be here
I love you, I do, I do
So smile, you have me for life
I love you, I do, I do
I do
Even though I am crying while walking down the aisle and still holding onto my father's arm, Ceres was there, wiping her tears as she watched me with those longing and careful moonlight eyes of hers.
Love will be our song
Let this love be known
Love is God's finest work of art
Love will shine in the dark
If it feels colder
We can start all over and over and over again
As the chorus repeated, I finally reached the altar and my father hugged me for one more time before giving my hand to Ceres who also received a hug from him. I was crying, so does she but as our hands touched each other we felt the bond became stronger than it used to be.
If you feel lost
Let me remind you my love shines and I will always find you
Have no fear, love is here
Love is true, love is me, love is you
I do...
When the bridge of the song kept playing behind as our background, our tears won't stop just because we were having a sacred matrimony. The priest saw and felt the love we both shared since our love wasn't just a pace or something that would easily be torn apart. As the ceremony kept going the priest turned to Ceres and asked her if she prepared some vow which made her nod.
"I actually don't know what vow should I say to you since I already mentioned them but...once I was lost and broken till I fatedly ran into your land where I never thought I would meet my heart and soul. I was ready to die back then but you saved me. You healed me though it was a struggle just to make you say yes but here we are. My beloved queen, I will always love you like the song on our wedding day, which I won't be tired of showering you the love that you deserve. I know I am not a perfect mate but I will be your eternal love that you can run back into like a home. I'm always here, I loving you Frizabelle Marshall." Ceres said her vow which made me cry but she helped me wipe them carefully then the priest asked me the same thing that I just nodded to.
"I might not know exactly what to say but my lovely mate, you already got me from day one but I'm not sure if it was just love at first sight and you prove me wrong. Whatever kind of love it was called, love is love. Love can never be bound to a single word or one reason. Love is so free which most of us reflect them in different ways but that's our mind speaking. As the mind and heart speak in one language of love, I finally understand that loving is also accepting all the flaws and greatness of a person, I saw all of them in you Ceres. You taught and showed me what real love can do for a person. That's why like the song on our wedding day, you'll have me as your eternal love, I love you Celestial Ceres Aspire." I stated my vow which made Ceres chuckled though she was also tearing up like me.
"As the vow is being exchanged, now you can have the ring." The priest said as our ring bearer gave us our wedding ring.
Our wedding ring was indeed unique which looked like a puzzle because if we combine it, it'll become one thick ring. The rings were both tri-color of silver, red and blue with engravement detail of vines and four roses and as for the stone in the middle was rainbow moonstone like I have in my engagement ring.
"Celestial Ceres Aspire, do you take Frizabelle Marshall to be your lawfully wedded wife to live together in marriage, will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, so long as you both shall live?" The priest asked which made Ceres look lovingly at me while smiling.
"I do." Ceres replied which made my heart feel so warm.
"Frizabelle Marshall, do you take Celestial Ceres Aspire to be your lawfully wedded wife to live together in marriage, will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, so long as you both shall live?" The priest asked me the same question which made me stare as well to Ceres before smiling at her.
"I do." I answered as we both tightened our grip to each other.
"By the power blessed in me, I announced you wife and wife. You may kiss your bride." The priest announced which made Ceres take off my veil and kissed my lips passionately. Oh how I missed her lips today.
We could hear everyone was clapping and even whistling at us which I didn't care about right now since I want to kiss her more. I pulled her closer to my face again, so that my lips could have another taste of hers. As I was kissing Ceres, I could also feel that I was kissing Iolana which I couldn't contain my tears. I am feeling them both in my arms.
"I love you mates." I mate-linked at Ceres which made her smile and kiss my lips even more.
'I love you, Belle.'
'I love you, my beloved queen.'
As I heard them in choro, I began to chuckle and pulled her into a tight hug. Oh gosh, I am married to my mates.
Ceres
'I love you mates.'
I was taken back when she linked that to me but it was also making me happy and warm since I am too. I'm so in love with her. I bet Iolana was feeling the same thing toward Frizabelle. Hey, they already made love already. It's my turn tonight. I hope I won't lose my senses since I've the feeling everything will be so intense.
