When I woke up this morning I was very relaxed. As I lay there in bed everything started coming back to me from the night before. I was shocked at myself for the things I did. But I was also excited by them.
After I got out of bed I looked at the sheets. I knew I had to change them so I did that quickly before I took my shower. Next I took my shower and added those clothes to the pile. Then I ran everything down to the laundry room and got it started.
Once that was done I went to the kitchen to see about breakfast. Mom and dad were both there waiting for me.
"You didn't have to wait for breakfast because of me."
"To be honest we didn't wait for breakfast, this is lunch.Well when you didn't get up right away we knew all of the stress had gotten to you so we let you sleep. I checked on you a few times to make sure you were alive but other than that we left you alone. Then we heard you moving around so I started lunch. And this is where you come in."
"Oh my gosh I slept the day away! Did Elyon call or anything? What about meeting his parents? Oh my God I can't believe I slept so long."
Then I heard his voice," Sweetheart do you need me? Are you okay? Let me call and we can talk about it."
Then my phone rings, when I answer it I hear his voice," Good morning sweetheart how do you feel this morning? Are you okay? I thought I relaxed you last night."
Out loud I said," Good morning, or should I say afternoon. I seem to have slept the day away. Did we miss your parents?"
While in my mind I say," Yes last night relaxed me so much I over slept and it worried me. I have to say I enjoyed that so much and would like to do it again."
"For you baby anytime. But we have to be good around our parents."
Out loud he says," No my parents only got here fifteen minutes ago. They were asking when would be a good time to meet you. But I said I had to call first."
"Let me find out when would be a good time. Don't they want to rest first?"
"No they just want to meet you. Whenever your ready they want to come over."
"Okay hold on let me ask."
So I talk to mom and dad, they decide on a half hour from now if that's okay. So I ask him if that's okay. He in turn asks his parents and it's decided they will be here in a half hour. I hung up the phone and finished my food. Then I went upstairs to change my clothes while mom and dad cleaned up.
exactly thirty minutes later there was a knock at the door. In my mind Elyon says," Its us, just relax and talk to them like normal people."
Dad opens the door and says hi to Elyon then invites everyone in. He shows them into the front room. Mom and I walk into the room, when she sees me the queen smiles.
"Hello, my dear my name is Annalise and this is my husband Victor. As you know we are the king and queen of the England international coven. I am so glad Elyon has finally found you. He has been searching so long we started to worry for your safety. Now please introduce us to your wonderful parents."
" This is my mother Melissa and my father Kevin. They have raised me since I was two. They have both been my rock through all of this. Elyon as shown me more about myself than I ever knew. He found my lost family. I am so glad we met. Without him I surely would have been lost when the change happens."
"Thank you for being honest young lady. Elyon will be staying here with you to run our new company. I am glad he has a worthy mate."
"Dad come on, I told you how much she helped when I first got into town. You don't have to be snotty about it."
As Annalise puts her hand on Victors arm I do the same to Elyon. My mom smiles at this gesture because it calms both men down. Annalise sees it and smiles at me. Then she looks at Victor and says," Victor they are mates no matter what you think. Look at them they have bonded without completing the ceremony. You won't be able to separate them no matter what you think."
Mom steps forward and says," Won't you both sit down we have a few questions if you don't mind."
Annalise smiles and pulls Victor over to the love seat, while mom and dad sit in their chair, and Elyon and I sit on the couch.
"What are your questions Melissa? I will answer everything I can."
"Thank you Annalise, first of all what is the ceremony you spoke of?"
"It is the equivalent to the human marriage ceremony. It will happen tomorrow night during the full moon. After her first shift. With the blessing of the moon goddess and the night god they will be bound. They will mark each other and exchange blood. Then they will be bound forever. What other questions do you have?"
" I should have asked her aunt yesterday, but do you know how long she will live.?"
"On average pure blood werewolves like her will live to be at least three hundred years old. After their first shift their metabolism changes and everything slows down."
" Okay finally how is it that a vampire and a werewolf are soulmates?"
"All I can say to that is the gods and goddesses are the ones to choose our soulmates. We have no control over who they are. We can if we really want to reject our mate. But as you can see the kids have bonded, neither will reject the other. Now a question for you both. How are you handling all of this?"
Mom and dad look at each other then they look at me and mom says," To be honest it was a bit confusing at first. Then Elyon talked us through it. He answered all of our questions. Some of them several times. He went out and found her lost family to help us and her. I have watched the two of them together. I see the love he has for her. This is the happiest I have ever seen her. She is my daughter and I will support her no matter how strange things get. So all in all I think we are handling it all very well."
Annalise smiles and nods her head. After that I kinda zone out because both my parents and Elyon's parents exchange background information about their family's and things. Elyon excuses us to our parents and we go for a walk down by the water.
"So what do you think of my parents?"
"I like your mother a lot. She is honest and strait forward. But I'm not sure about your dad yet."
"It's okay I know what you mean. Dad is a bit hard to take sometimes. But when he decides he likes you he will protect you with his life."
"Cool, but I want to ask about last night. Was that real. I will say I enjoyed it a lot. But why did it wear me out so badly? Is that normal?"
"Lat night was very real and I hope to do it again. You were exhausted because it was your first time for several things. The more we do it the better you stamina will get. It won't wear you out so bad. I am glad you enjoyed it. Now we should get back inside, my parents only stopped over to meet you and dad wanted to check the opening of the company. They will have to leave soon. And since mom like you it's best to stay on her good side."
I laugh at that and we goo back inside. We sit down on the couch again and listen to the parents talk. After about a half hour Elyon's parents say they must go. We all say good bye and Annalise kisses my cheeks and hugs me while Victor just nods his head. Elyon tells me he will talk to me later and kisses me good bye, Then they all leave.
After a minute of silence dad says," They are interesting I like them. Victor is a bit gruff but Annalise is sweet."
"I agree with your father, they are good people. You could have done worse. Now let's get dinner going I'm starving. After dinner I go to my room to prepare for tomorrow. I'm not sure what to do really so I look at the pictures my aunt gave me and then fell asleep.
