After Kimo and Jonathan being called by King and Queen because they were welcoming Jonathan as Kimo's mate also, the Queen organized a celebration dinner to welcome new members in the royal family. It was Oliver's parents, Oliver, Anna, Kimo, Jonathan, Tanya and Ethan, those are the people who are mostly allowed to enter the royal house without an improvement, though everyone is welcomed but there are precautions to take first before you can be welcomed to enter anytime, the royal has to be respected as always.
Everyone is sitting on the dinner table and it's already late, dinner time. All different types of meats, fruits, vegetables and salads along with the drinks, are set on a long, huge table that can accommodate 20 people. Oliver and Anna seating together, whilst Jonathan and Kimo seating together with his other hand on Jonathan's thigh, he just doesn't want to let Jonathan be out of his sight same as Oliver who pulled Anna's seat to be closer to his.
Why does this food smell terrible to me? I tried to force myself to eat but each food doesn't taste good, they are so vile to my tasting and smell so terrible, I feel like throwing up. I stood up from my chair running to my bedroom with my left hand on my belly and my right one on my mouth, trying to hold myself from not throwing up and I heard footsteps behind me, running with the same pace as mine and that's Oliver, his scent doesn't leave my nose.
"Love, what's wrong?
"I don't know, I just can't eat anything anymore, everything tastes dull and smell horrible and I am scared because your mom will think that I don't enjoy her food."
"No, no one would think like that, I just think it's time we welcome you and Jonathan in the correct way."
"What do you mean?"
"Celebration ritual, it would be performed by Tanya, she will explain everything to you." Oliver said while rubbing my back. "I will tell my parents and her also so that we could starts preparing everything, we will do it tonight, I just want you to be okay."
After Oliver leaving me alone in our bedroom, I washed my mouth and my face then changed my clothes because I didn't feel them to be on me anymore, then I heard three knocks on my door.
"Come in." I answered.
"Girl, are you okay?" Jonathan asked while moving closer to me and sat next to me with his hand on my back rubbing it.
"I don't know, I thought I won't be sick after I see Oliver," I said with my hand on my belly, but Tanya kept looking on my belly giving me anxiety.
"Can I?" Tanya said with a gesture of me allowing her to touch my belly and I did allow her.
Tanya's eyes freaked us out they moment they glowed into luminous green and yet they looked very beautiful and cool, but I was very scared when they turned back and looked at me with a shock face.
"What?" I asked with my eyes wide and popped out.
"You are pregnant, and your baby seems like she/he's a fierce, already ready to attack anything or anyone who means harm," when I heard Tanya saying that I felt like my life is over because Oliver won't allow me to leave this place and my life is in South Africa, I honestly don't know how to react at this moment while Tanya and Jonathan are super excited, jumping with laughter's.
"We can't tell Oliver," My face was so rigid, so cold but also warm.
"Why not?" Jonathan asked with a worried tone.
"Because if he knows, he will not allow Anna to leave this place because he would want to protect Anna at all costs." It seems like Tanya was reading my mind, so I nodded looking at them both.
"And also, the way I see it, Kimo won't allow you to leave also, and I am sure wherever he is, he's already missing you terribly and same as you," Tanya said with chuckles between her words and that is the truth.
"Why did no one ever tell me that having a mate is the best feeling because I am happy all over my body, I don't know what to do," Jonathan was swaying and dancing while singing his words.
"Okay! Too much information," I said and chuckle. "Tanya please promise me that you won't tell him, because our jobs are waiting for us, and our lives, my family is there."
"I promise, but now, we have to perform welcoming ritual for you too, and I will prepare herbs for you and for your little Anna or Oliver there, and this means I won't be performing for this one too here." Tanya said with her eyes on my belly and tingling my belly, I guess she's so excited for my pregnancy other than me.
Oliver's mother knocked and I opened the door for her, she has traditional clothes in her hand for me and for Jonathan also. She had their traditional attires, very lovely, made with their fabric and the leaves. Oliver's mother she's so delightful, with her forever smile, she's just amazing. Seeing how excited she is for us, for me and Jonathan, she just makes everything so easy for us.
These attires made me and Jonathan to reveal most of our skin and I don't think Oliver would be happy about this, the way he's so jealous, don't want anyone to see his beautiful woman, I laughed from my thoughts.
"Kimo won't be happy about this, look how I just revealed my chest and thighs," Jonathan said scrutinizing himself and me also.
"Oh! They will be strong, even Oliver's father, he became very protective when he saw me in them but back in the days, we were just wearing this, everyday so that day I don't know what came to his mind but I just paused him and he behaved, you also do that," Oliver's mother said with a chuckle, and looking at Tanya I wonder if she ever had mate or she's waiting, but I hope she will meet hers soon.
"You look absolutely lovely," I said to Jonathan with a warm smile.
"You look absolutely gorgeous, and I can see that, damn girl, you are well shaped. Is it another perk of being mated to a hellhound?" Jonathan said with a whisper.
I whispered back and said, "Make love with Kimo first then you will know your answer." And he just stared at me.
"I think they are done now, so Tanya goes and prepare your things while I will be walking these two to the ritual side." Oliver's mom said and Jonathan and Anna were very scared, starts shaking because they don't what to expect because they don't have to know, it's a secret.
Oliver felt possessive when he heard everyone gasping and warriors along with followers howling and growling, he felt like he could just blind their eyes for a moment till they finish the ritual. Looking at Anna's body looking so lovely in the attire, swaying her body slowly and smooth when she's walking toward the big fire that Oliver and Kimo prepared for their mates while Oliver and Kimo they are also in their attire but sitting on the other side since they have to start with Anna and Jonathan first before they could join them.
Kimo, his hands are fisted, and his jaws clenched when he heard one of the followers saying, "I didn't know he heard abs and body like this, I wish I could see this the whole day."
Well, he can't stand up and beat the hell out of him, he has to behave, maybe he will deal with him later.
Jonathan could feel Kimo's gaze to him and he didn't want to look at him because he's feeling all shy to lock his eyes on his mate.
Oliver he can't wait to be beside Anna at this point.
POV: It's night.
Tanya began to sing alone at first, pouring some dark green herbal water on their heads then everyone followed her with the singing, and she sings very well along with everyone, when they sing, the nodes combine very well. She used a black ink and draw some lines in their palms then Kimo and Oliver stood up also, went to them, sat with their mates next to them. Tanya combined their lines on their palms together after drawing and Anna felt a strong force hitting her chest also Jonathan along with their mates.
"We are done," Tanya said looking back at Oliver's parents, then they also came along.
Oliver's parents start singing holding their heads combining their heads with their mates until they finish also. They gestured them all to stand up.
"We are done," Oliver's dad shouted with an excitement, and everyone starts singing and while women wailing and men howling, it was just so fun listening to them.
After they all done with the preparation and dancing, the King allowed everyone to go so that they could go and rest. Well, Kimo didn't want to waste time, he picked up Jonathan so well, like he's just a light weight, going to his room, this is the moment he's been waiting for.
"Do you know what's going to happen in our bedroom tonight?" Kimo asked Jonathan whilst he's carrying him.
Jonathan hides his face on Kimo's neck and said, "I don't know."
"Okay! You will see, and I hope you are ready because I can't wait to tear those attire on you."
He made Jonathan to bury his head now, while he's gripping Kimo tight.
