				Few people know it but we humans are not alone. Creatures of the night exist and in New York city it is the Werewolves that rule without question. They have influenced the times, technology, and politics for centuries and will continue to do so till the end of time. In New York there are two main packs that have existed, the Skywatchers and the Blood Claws. While all werewolves are warriors and shamans to some point these two packs have taken the practices to the extreme. It is with them that our story begins...<br><br>---------------------<br><br>On the outskirts of manhattan the Veldin manor had stood since the civil war, overlooking the river and in the distance the ocean. The skywatcher pack had originally built it and today the cities two packs would meet for the first time in almost twenty years. Tension between the two of sharing manhattan had never been easy. Fights happened but it never got pushed to all out war. Both groups alphas met and brought one bodyguard and the pups in question. The skywatchers had brought the young man Vincent Pore, a genius when it came to shamanism, spirits, and the spirit world. He had only been a werewolf for three years now and already he was responsible for ending a spirit plague that could have turned the city to rubble. <br><br>Vincent wasnt tall or short, he stood an even six feet in height and had a toned build. His light brown hair was short but somewhat scruffy, his face clean in fact he was so young that he had not yet grown a single strand of a beard, or at least none in his human form. His eyes were strange, one deep blue, the other gray, and both were hard to look into except for the most experienced of shamans like they held some deep and horrifying secret. Today he wore a navy blue business suit that made him look more cute then handsome but then this look wasnt his, afterall he was used to wearing the robes and bone decorations of a mystic then human clothes. <br><br>The skywatcher Alpha, an old man with a bushy white beard looked down at his watch just as they heard a ring at the doorbell. "Enter." he called in a rough gravely voice and the three stood tall as if presenting themselves to superiors.

				As her family arrived at the Veldin manor, Natasha looked up at the mansion. It was quite impressive, even for one of her stature. She wasn't overly taken by the place, just surprised at the general size of the home. What could the three of them need with all that space? Shaking her head a little, the girl stepped in behind her father, her wavy dark chocolate hair flowing around her and getting in her eyes a bit. She reached up to brush her hair out of the way before lifting the ridiculous dress her parents had shoved her into to step in the door. Letting it drop again she looked around the room.<br><br>And then she spotted him. The one who was to be her mate, obviously, by the young appearance he held. Similar to her own, though she was several years older than he, at least by the standards of the pack. She looked back to her parents as they headed toward the other elders and headed for the young one. She noted as her eyes adjusted to the lighting that he was at least not unpleasant to look at. Not that it mattered much to her what he looked like.<br><br>Standing tall and proud in front of him she looked up and smiled a little. "Hello, Vincent. It's nice to finally meet you." she murmured, taking in his interesting eyes. Her frame was small, she stood about six inches under him, though most did not notice her small stature as her presence made up for it. On this particular day though, she wanted to be good. This could be the end of the problems between the packs.<br><br>"You have very mesmerizing eyes." she whispered, almost entranced by them as she stared up at him through her vibrant emerald greens.

				He had been a little suprised as she came into the room and looked right at him. Was she really that warrior queen that he had heard so much about? There were lots of stories but then sometimes stories were only stories. "Um...hi." he said a bit nervously before trying to clear his throat. He tried to stand tall again like a proud and confident warrior but the truth was he didnt like battle shamanism was his calling and one that he excelled in. <br><br>The Skywatcher alpha took a step forward and cleared his throat before he spoke in a deep gravely voice. "Vincent, you and Natasha here are to be mated when the moon is full again." <br><br>Vincent turned about to say something but the old mans look shut him up without a word. "You will take her as your mate. You will share your secrets with her...and eventually you will bear some children with her. Both packs have already decided that this is for the best."<br><br>The boy couldnt help but nod slowly and sigh. "Yes sir"<br><br>Vincent looked back at her, this time into her eyes and noted how easy it was to look into them. There was nothing horrific lurking in them like his pack members. The difference was nice in a way. "Its nice to meet you Miss Natasha." Reaching up he set a finger under the gray eye and smiled "This one was scoured by a spirit, he cut it out and returned it to me after he put his unique way of looking at the spirit world in it. Its been like that since...sometimes I can see past the border of the worlds so it can come in handy...I uh, sorry...most people ask so I thought I would just tell you since were to be together."

				She smiled and nodded softly. "Don't apologize. It's something I should know eventually. My eyes change according to my mood, I've been told." she spoke quietly, using a gentle voice. It was hard for her to find something that wasn't a snarl of orders for her pack, but she managed it. With a bit of a cough she looked over at her father who appeared to be simply watching them. She couldn't help but to roll her eyes slightly.<br><br>"I feared that my reputation would precede me." she said adding a tinge of nervousness to her voice. "I know there are many stories, some are true, some are not. I suppose in time we'll come to establish which are which." she smiled softly, her eyes going smokey before turning a deep sapphire blue; indicating happiness. Green was her usual, calm and cool.<br><br>Something... she hadn't yet placed her finger on it... but something about this felt right to her. She knew already that her intentions were not as they had appeared... she intended to break him down and make him hers, in every way... but it still felt like they were doing the right thing. Something... maybe it was in his eyes? Perhaps it was just instinct, but it felt good. <br><br>For a brief moment, before the blue smoked back to green, she was actually feeling excited about this whole ordeal.

				Vincent kept a good watch over her eyes, making a mental note of the little change. It was usually easy to tell what werewolves were feeling because their emotions were far more powerful then normal humans. When a werewolf loved it was with all their being, when they were happy the whole world knew, and when they were angry people died. "Your eyes are just as interesting..."<br><br>The Skywatcher alpha took a few steps toward the others, giving them a nod. "I think we should leave these two be so they can get to know eachother. Ive left them a car so they can return home when they are done"

				"I... uh... thank you." she blushed a little, looking up at him. The compliment was appreciated but foreign to her. She never let her pack members comment on her, it ruined her authority. But coming from someone else, it was thoroughly enjoyable. She smiled, a rare occurrence, before looking over as their parents left them alone.<br><br>Shortly after they were left alone, the haze filled her eyes again and they turned to the same deep shade of blue. Something deep down was feeling his presence, and it was quite pleasant. The arrangement didn't seem so horrible anymore at this point.

				Seeing her smile calmed him a bit and he took a moment to breath deeply. "Um, would you like to take a walk while we talk? The grounds has an old fashioned hedge maze and a large rose garden I could show you...or we could stay here..." He wasnt sure how to break the ice like this but he was trying, wanting her to feel comfortable here and around him. He knew that the pack was considering giving this old mansion to them for their union and it was just a matter of time till they put their names on the deed. Might as well get used to the place now

				"I do love the outdoors." Natasha murmured, debating how forward she should be. Deciding to at least wait a little while to do something bold and fun, she chose taking his hand lightly. The grasp was light, he could pull away if he wished to do so. But they had less than two days now until the full moon, the eve of their union. If they wanted to be at least more than acquaintances by then, they'd need to push forward quickly. She gathered her thoughts as they made their way through the empty halls toward the back exit, out to the fresh air of the backyard.

				A nervous look shot over his face as she took his hand and he jumped a bit, almost pulling away yet something made his hand stay where it was. He wasnt sure how to approach this, he had never even kissed a girl before, let alone mated with another wolf. He took a moment to gather his thoughts before pointing toward the other side of the house. "T-this way please..."<br><br>They walked through the doors easily and when they came to the back he opened up a pair of double doors that opened into a huge rose garden and patio. It had been maserfully maintained and set out with white marble stone and statuary leading all the way back to the hedges over two hundred yards from them. "This is our rose garden, I like to come here to relax and read"

				Natasha raised her eyebrows a little at the sight of the garden. The soft scent of roses quickly caught in her nose, though it was not a bad one. It reminded her that she needed to get a scent for Vincent. But she would do that in a few minutes, he had nearly had a heart attack when she took his hand. The girl chuckled a little at the thought.<br><br>"This does seem like a nice place for that." she whispered, not wanting to disturb the ambiance by speaking loudly. She closer her eyes for a moment to mentally photograph the scene, adding the scent to it. It was a nice area, she wouldn't mind having a place like this herself, though the forest and it's interesting mix of smells was a little more exciting.<br><br>She shifted her other hand up to wrap around his arm before leaning against him a bit. Her head falling close to his skin to take in his scent in an inconspicuous manner.

				He jumped again but with less of an intensity this time. Looking over he smiled nervously as he looked into her eyes again. "I dont know for sure but I believe the pack will be giving this home to us after our union...its just one of several high class lands we control." He leaned over, taking another deep breath but this time breathing in her scent mixed with the scent of the garden. They mixed so well together, almost perfectly to give a feminine yet strong scent that only a werewolf could have.

				Natasha couldn't help but chuckle a little. "You need to calm down Vincent. We have two days. We can't exactly take things slowly." she murmured. It wasn't a very long time, but if he kept jumping at every touch or movement there was no way they'd be ready in the time allowed. She closed her eyes to print hist scent somewhere special in her mind. It was a bit of an overload, being introduced to the one you were expected to mate with two days before the expected ceremony, but they couldn't let their heads get away from them. There was no choice in the matter.

				"Sorry..." he whispered while looking into her eyes. He took a moment to collect his thoughts before leaning over to smell her agian. "Its all just really new to me...Ive never been with a normal human girl, let alone another werewolf...Im just really nervous I guess..."

				Natasha nodded her understanding of his nervousness. She unwrapped her arms from his and moved to stand in front of him. "She wrapped her arms around his neck gently and set her head on his shoulder, taking in his scent where the blood was strong. "Just try to stay calm. If you'd prefer we can shift?"

				"If...you want to." he whispered. He set his hands on top of hers and took in a deep breath. "I did dismiss all the staff for the day so we have the whole place to ourselves...and no humans for at least a mile except maybe on the roads..." He wasnt sure what to say to that, they were supposed to keep themselves hidden from the eyes of man and they did a good job of it most of the time but even in their homes yard mortals could look in for any number of reasons.

				Natasha smiled a little. She pressed her nose against his chest and inhaled deeply. "It doesn't matter too much to me. But perhaps we should go inside if that is what we are going to do." She shrugged a little, comfortable in both forms, it made little difference to her. But she thought Vincent might benefit from the calm that shifting could instill on him. From her view, it might be a good chance to let their instincts take over and let their hearts make some connection if it was there.

				He nodded slowly and took a step back toward the door, stopping to let her enter first in a gentlemanly manner. When they were inside he took a moment to remove the jacket and shirt, hanging them up on the nearby coat rack before he let his true self come out. Transforming into the half man half wolf form that had gained so much infamy over the centuries was a quick thing but despite his demenor she could see the marks of battles and deals with spirit burned, cut, and scraped into the deep red fur around his abdomen. He looked well built with the kind of natural muscle a farmers aid might have rather then a seasoned body builder

				Natasha watched for a moment as Vincent transformed. She was a little surprised by the red-orange tinge of his fur, but it was a warm color, she'd get used to it. Her own color was just as rare. Shamelessly sipping out of her dress she shifted quickly, looking over at him from her natural form, pure snow white fur falling in her eyes slightly. Shaking her head a little to get the fur out of the way, she took a step or two toward the other warily. He was larger than her in human form, and perhaps even larger in this state. She was still sure it wouldn't be a problem, she was a seasoned warrior, he was a shaman after all.

				As she looked over him the size of his body seemed a little odd. Most werewolves would gain a full foot or more when they changed but Vincent had barely gained a single inch of hieght. He opened his arms as if offering her a hug and smiled. "This is the real me, fiery red fur and all..." Tilting his head to the side he looked over her in great detail and with some amount of suprise, he would have thought she would sport a pitch black or gray coat but not pure white.

				Natasha nodded and stepped forward to lean against him a little. "Looks can be deceiving, it seems for both of us." she chuckled. His form was very vibrant, she was beginning to like it. She'd never seen fur of such a color before. Though it was probably because she spent most of her time with warriors like herself, who were often dark coated. Stepping back again she looked around the room and gave a bit of a sniff. "Perhaps we should go upstairs? Less windows."

				"We all have our secrets..." he whispered before offering his arm to her. "We could do that. The room that I often use has some dark drapes to cover the windows. It has a ton of candles though, I like to read by candlelight and some rituals work better with it then with artificial light."

				She tilted her head a little at the offer suspiciously, but nodded. Dark was good, candles were...good, if curious. She supposed the explanation was acceptable, but it still seemed a bit interesting. The bit about the rituals was what caught her belief. It was true. "Rituals should never be disgraced with artificial light..." she murmured, taking his arm and letting him lead her.

				He lead her upstairs to a room at the far end of the east wing. The door opened into a vast suite with jet black curtains hung by the windows and hundreds of candles layed out on every surface and piece of furniture that could support them. There was a bed here, but only a double and one that didnt look like it was used often. By the windows were two huge bookshevles holding books, scrolls, a stone tablet with words inscribed on it, and even a skull of some kind of canine. <br><br>Vincent didnt waste any time before entering and pulling out a chair for her, offering her a seat in a gentlemanly manner. "This is my room...or at least its my study. I dont come here often though because Im usually in the spirit world"

				Natasha took the seat with a thankful nod and looked around the room. It looked appropriate for study or sleep. She could imagine he may do a fair bit of ritual in the room with the number of candles. She noticed the book shelves and her eyes drifted over the tablet before she paused on the scrolls. They were rare to come by in these times. Eventually taking in the entire room, she heard him speak. "Does that mean that I will not see you often when we are wed?" she asked curiously, already feeling a little disappointed for some reason she could not comprehend. <br><br>

				"Im not sure." he answered as he pulled out another chair and took a seat. He tilted his head to the side for a moment as he looked over her, thinking about what to say. "Sometimes I enter the spirit world to solve a problem or find information, other times I enter for my own curiousity. I suppose when we're mated things will have to change a bit. Ill have a responsibility to you...right now I dont really have many ties that keep me in this world."

				She nodded softly, understanding his meaning of little responsibility. Before she led, she had plenty of extra time to muss about with what she wished. Though her life was concentrated on planning, discussions, meetings and research now, she knew that much of the responsibility would be placed on a beta when they were mated. The families were expecting children, and they would likely act by accordingly removing much of the weight on the couple's shoulders to give them time together. <br><br>"I understand." she murmured, looking up at him from her daze around the room. "So, surely there's something important we should talk about, but I can't think of what..."

				He layed back on the bed, looking up toward the ceiling as he thought about that question. "Well we are supposed to get to know eachother...what do you want to know about me?" he asked. After a moment he sat back up and looked at her. "Or you could tell me about you."

				Natasha shrugged a little, looking over at him. "I'm not really sure what to ask." she chuckled a bit. "How do you feel about this whole thing? I guess that's a good place to start." she smiled a little, shifting in her seat visibly, trying to find a comfortable place to be stationery. Eventually she gave up and clambered to the floor to lay out on her belly. The one reason white fur was horrid, everything made it dirty.

				He tilted his head for a moment and considered the question carefully, as if looking at it from multiple angles. "Its incredibly awkward and frustrating being forced to be with someone I know nothing about and who comes from a very different lifestyle then me...then again, instinctivly and perhaps romantically theres a hint of joy for the idea of having a mate. Someone to share in my life, to help tend my wounds, to look out for me as much as I look out for them."

				Natasha nodded her understanding of his mixed feelings on the situation, hers were similar. "I'm glad that our union will end the tension between our families and their followers." she murmured. "Though I'm anxious to know you better so that I can be a proper mate for you. I only worry that a mere two days will not be enough to distinguish any important differences that would flare the tensions again later on. And yet all at the same time, I'm excited to have a mate to share my life with." She smiled a little, looking over at him.

				He looked up at her and smiled after a moment, shrugging his shoulders. "Well we seem to feel the same thing about the situation. I dont know what kind of conflicts might arrive but Im sure we can at least keep them private. There wont be, or at least shouldnt be any need for war if its just a philosophical difference. Im sure those will be the problems we encounter most afterall."

				She sat quietly, pondering to herself for a few moments. "Yes, this is a good point. I'm just nervous... please don't take any offense from my questions." she murmured, feeling a bit silly for having asked now. She simply had to trust that her parents took the time to discuss with his about if they were compatible. It would kill her to be the cause of something breaking out between the families.

				He smiled a bit at that comment and shrugged again "We're both nervous. Its not an easy idea to adapt too though so its to be expected. What about common interests? I tend to spend most of my time in the spirit world talking to them but when I do get some rare times to myself I like scholarly pursuits. What about you? I have a hard time imagining the subtles enjoyments of a warrior."

				"I suppose I spend a lot of my 'free'..." she paused to make the word obvious that it was not entirely as it seemed. "...time plotting new tactics and drawing plans. But when I actually can do something that I actually want to do, I like to read and I rather enjoy outdoor sports and the like, in human form, of course." she chuckled a little.

				His eyes lit up for a moment at her mention of enjoying reading, there was something they had in common afterall. "So what kind of books do you like? I tend to prefer all kinds of fiction but sometimes I like occult books on how to deal with ghosts, spirits, or whatever other kinds of creatures are out there. Occasionally I read manga's as well, some have spectacular plots and character development."

I've done a fair bit of reading into the occult myself, though not particularly about creatures rather than the topic in general. She sighed contently and stretched a little, trying her best not to yawn. She hadn't been able to sleep very well leading up to this, it was stressing her out quite thoroughly. But at least now that she knew he wasn't some crazy man she might manage a bit of sleep.

				As she sat down by him he swallowed hard before nodding and laying back. "Seeing how were expected to be sharing our lives and even mating in a few days I agree. Its kind of like jumping into the deep end without knowing how to swim though." He gave a slight chuckle as he looked down into her eyes. "Do you think that this will really work? Not us, but the situation. Will it really stop anymore warring between the families? You and I seem to get along just fine but with such dramatically different philosophies if calling eachother kin will be enough."

She looked at him curiously, speaking seriously for a moment. "In due time, it will be our rule that will join our families together. As you shall control the Skywatchers, I will rule over the Shadowhunters. How can they refuse?" she smiled a little. "Ultimately, the only thing continuing after an order stop would get them, would be expelled and forced to band with those they were fighting in the first place. I hope that our packs are smarter than that."

				"I don't think that our parents would set us up for failure." she murmured softly, looking at him, her eyes smoking back to blue for a reason she wasn't quite aware of. "I think that we can work through things as they come up, and that as long as we're willing to compromise, we shouldn't have any problems. I think anyone can work through their issues. In all honesty, there may be someone better matched for both of us out there, but I don't see a reason why we can't work out our differences just as the rest of our clans must do." She smiled a little, curling up slightly on her side, knowing it was much more comfortable to sleep in her human form, but she was willing to try like this for his comfort.

Knowing its what she wanted he closed his eyes for as the fur ungrew itself from his body and his muscles and bone structure reshaped themselves to take their original shapes.

She shifted toward the center of the bed and laid her head on the pillow, yawning softly.

She focused on her breathing, doing a bit of quiet meditating as she pushed herself toward sleep.

				Vincent fell alseep quickly and it wasnt long till his mind was filled with a beautiful dream. It was a dream of a hunt where he would stalk, run, and bear his fangs at his prey. He was not one to snore or move in his sleep but on occassion he did say a word or two, barely understandable to someone with the best hearing. He dreamed peacefully, his hands holding her close and his breathing shallow till everything was shattered as the sound of beeping filled the air. He stirred but didnt sit up, electing to lay there longer as the alarm kept beeping.

				For the first time in weeks, Natasha slept fairly soundly. She rested quietly and unmoving against the soft, warm body behind her, feeling thoroughly relaxed. It had been quite some time since she'd felt that way. She could take a guess that it may even go all the way back to when she first learned of what she really was. Her peaceful rest was disturbed eventually by the incessant beeping of the alarm clock. Grumbling lightly she cracked open her eyes and moved her hands to cover her sensitive ears from the overly annoying sound. She rolled lightly in Vincent's arms to face him and smiled sleepily up at him, waiting for the sound to quiet before she would speak.

They would have to make certain fast leaps in the relationship like that afterall. He leaned his forehead against hers and breathed deeply, taking in her scent once again as his arms held her. "Maybe it wont be so bad afterall." he whispered, reassuring himself as much as her.

				She was almost surprised by her own actions, but assumed it was more so making the best of the situation. If she was going to be wed to him in... just over a day at this point, she may as well get as close to him as she could over the time they had. It would be official, and very difficult to get out of, after the ceremony. Though at this point, she didn't think there were going to be any real problems. At least from her point of view, they seemed quite compatible, and she didn't see them encountering any major problems.

He knew that if they didnt climb out of bed soon they would spend all night there, or at least thats the way it seemed.

"I make it a point to never change outdoors unless its dark out, or its an emergency. Its probably not needed here but I do prefer to be cautious, its kept me alive more times then our war form." <br><br>He kept his back turned to her, giving her some measure of privacy to dress without his eyes wandering all over her, although honestly he wanted to look and take in everything that was her.

At least she could thank her parents for not forcing her into something with ties and clasps. She pulled it down properly so it would hug her figure the way it was meant to. Though it wasn't too tight, she preferred something shorter that hugged her better, or just plain clothes that she could move in.<br><br>Stepping toward the door she smiled gently over at him as she waited for him to join her.

"I like to come out here and watch the sunset, it looks beautiful when the sky turns orange and shines down over the garden."

It was an interesting thing to watch, just for the sake of watching. She always recognized the beauty in the changing colors of the sky, but she'd never bothered to watch them slowly change.

There were some mice and a rabbit close by, she didn't need to put her nose to the floor to know that, and bigger animals had more intense scents.

				He stalked through the hedges slowly and near silently like a perfectly honed predetor. She could tell that while he wasnt the best of trackers he could certainly conceal his presence without much effort. After a few minutes it seemed as if the corners had turned every which way until they finally came into the center of the garden where a huge white marbel fountain stood with dozens of birds scattered around. Vincent let his joints bend till he was low to the ground and if he hadnt been right beside her he might have seemingly vanished altogether. He was ready to pounce on the nearest flock of blue jays, just a few yards from them but he waited patiently for her.

She leaned down, shuffling her front paws slightly in order to move. Slowly, stealthily, she made her way near the animal she wanted before attacking. A quick death with the snap of a neck and she pattered out from inside the bush she'd taken cover in, a nice sized hare in her maw. She looked over to see how Vincent's pounce had gone.

				She saw him creep even closer to the birds till he was so close that it seemed impossible for them not to notice his presence and then a quick snapping sound was heard as he attacked. Jaws and claws raked into the flock and took two kills in a split second and sending the rest of the flock aloft toward the sky. That first moment of tasting the fresh warm and bloody meat was like a euphoric moment whenever a werewolf took a kill and Vincent reveled in it as if it was some kind of natural high.<br><br>Once they were caught he brought the birds over to her and placed one on the ground in front of her.

She laid herself out on the ground lightly and took the bird from the place he'd left it, placing it between her paws and going to work on viciously tearing it apart. Instinct took over. She licked her chops again when she was finished with it, a low growling sound coming from her chest; a slight purr. <br><br>She picked the hare up by it's neck and quietly pattered over to the place he'd settled himself to have his meal before laying herself down beside him and setting the brown furred animal on the ground between them. "I'd like to share, since there was only one."

				He didnt wait a moment before ripping his prey apart and feasting on it, enjoying the taste of the bird as much as any freshly killed prey. He leaned over and nuzzled her for a moment before nodding. "I'ld like that. Go ahead and split it" he answered

				He smiled and pawed it closer, whispering "thank you" before tearing into the meal. It had not been freshly killed by his own fang or claws so there was less enjoyment this time but she could see he truely appreciated the gift. When he finally finished the meal he sat back and looked up toward the sky before giving off a howl that echoed throughout the night. The sense of pride in a successful hunt prevelant in his voice

				She ate ravenously, ripping the dead animal to bits as she did so, her grunts and growls showed her enjoyment as she rolled, chewing the thing until it was gone. She lifted herself off the ground and shook her fur out roughly, leaning down on her front paws and howling loudly her response. She licked her muzzle clean and sat down to check her fur over for anything she might have gotten caught in it.

				Once the howl was done he moved over to her, nuzzling against her once again before looking back to the path. The night was out and it was getting late, most werewolves hunted through the night but some lived at the same times as humans to further their secrets by living with the sheep, unoticed by most. After a moment he turned back and gavea&nbsp; toothy smile as his tongue lapped at the blood on his muzzle. "We should head back...were you going to stay here tonight or do you need me to drive you home?"

She turned her head to look back before shaking out her fur once more and continuing the walk back to the house. Letting him catch up to walk beside her she nipped at his ear playfully before shaking her head a little. "If you don't mind I'd rather stay." she murmured, lifting her nose at a caught scent. She followed it a little but let it go, turning her head back toward the house and brushing up against him a little.

There was no rush this time to get into the house, so she wandered along, pausing to sniff at something interesting here or there as it caught her interest.<br><br>Eventually making her way back to his room, she climbed up onto his bed and curled up around herself, nosing the blanket up over her lower half.

				She gave a quick nod, waiting for him to leave before stepping into the room he'd mentioned and changing back. She washed herself up for sleep and slid her dress on to go back downstairs in search of the bag she'd brought with her. Finding it by the door she pattered back upstairs and brushed her teeth, changing into a pair of loose lounge pants and a plain black tshirt. When thoroughly satisfied with her appearance she padded back into his room quietly, making his bed from their nap and sliding in under the covers to get comfortable.

"I suppose for now it's not so much about planning events as seeing what comes of the day. We've only got tomorrow left, so we should try to open up a little more, I think."<br><br>She yawned softly, pulling the blanket up over both of them and shifting to lean on his chest gently.

He stayed cuddled close to her the whole night, dreaming of things to come and of ideas that floated around in the back of his mind. <br><br>When the first rays of sunlight hit the curtains of the room the alarm sounded again. That annoying beeping sound echoing throughout the wing of the mansion. Vincent stired and just layed there for a few moments before yawning and sitting up slightly to look at the time.

What better way to learn about each other than to delve into intimacy; they didn't have to go far, but a good snuggle could only do them good. She smirked as she kissed him, a hand settling on his chest gently as the other reached up behind his neck to settle.

				His hands reached up to grab onto hre wrists for a moment but he stopped there and looked up into her eyes. This time he pressed back up against the kiss but he was a little suprised at how she had climbed on top of her. He wondered if she was thinking the same thing he was, about a long morning filled with passion and exploration. Often when werewolves met they were usually two steps away from a brawl, and one from an orgy, he wondered if that would ring true for the both of them.

				They were not firsts for her, but firsts with someone she actually saw herself caring about. Her first kisses had been stolen by a boy from school, she hadn't wanted them, which had lead her to finding her dominant nature when it came to this sort of thing. Feeling his lips part for her, she let her tongue slip into his mouth to caress his tongue, gently encouraging it to play with hers.

				As their tongues touched it was like spark of pure passionate emotion went through him. His tongue reached out and swirled around hers, massaging it as they kissed. It was a very emotional moment for him being that this was many firsts coming at once and with the first girl he had ever really had a connection with.

She could tell by the way that his hands stayed put on her body that he was nervous, giving her the tip that he'd never done this before either. Still clothed in her pajamas from the night before she pulled her hands up to her own body to pull her shirt over her head, exposing the skin of her upper half to him before returning her hands to their place of teasing him.

				That suprised him even more. It was common to see packmates naked because shifting often destroyed clothes, leaving them little more the strips of material. This was different though, undressing in front of him with the intent being just that, to be naked and close as they touched eachother. A little moan escaped his lips after a moment and he tried being a little more adventurous as he let his hands slide down the rim of her pants onto her bottom.

				Natasha smiled a little as he pulled away to look up at her, her green eyes looking back into his. Her smile was bright as she caressed his cheek softly. "I really feel something for you..." she whispered, her eyes lighting up a little. She'd never felt something like what she was then before, but it was a wonderful feeling and she wanted more of it. She knew by this point that they were going to be just fine as mates.<br><br>She felt her heart jump slightly at the kiss he laid on her lips. There was more emotion to it than some of the kisses they'd shared before. She liked it though... they were bonding, exactly what she'd wanted to come of the situation.

				He kissed her softly for jsut a few moments before thier lips parted and he looked up into her eyes and nodded slowly. "I really feel something for you too." he answered. He wasnt sure how deep those feelings went but there was something there, something that he liked and wanted more of.

				She smiled and nodded her head, her lips pressing gently back against his as her fingers moved to explore lower. She hooked her thumbs in either side of his grey shorts and gave them a gentle tug downward, signaling to him her wish to pull them down.

				Natasha smiled up at him and nodded softly as he did, she didn't want to push him too far if he wasn't willing, but he did take his hands away. Slowly, just in case he changed his mind, she pulled his shorts down, letting them slide over his ankles and onto the floor beside the bed before she crawled back up his body to kiss him again.

				As she crawled back up he let his hand move around her back and hold her close. As their lips touched again he let out a soft moan and his hips pressed up against her. The hardened flesh pressing up against her body wantingly. He wanted to make love her her, every fiber in his bieng cried out for it but he wouldnt let his body determine how this situation went. He liked her and wanted her to know how he felt, what he wanted in his mind and soul, not just his body's reaction. <br><br>Looking up into her eyes once again he smiled warmly and held her close before kissing her one more time. "If you want to, Im fine with it..." he whispered. He wanted to make love but he didnt want her to feel she had to, it was the only way he could say it.

				She smiled as he spoke, her head nodding as she parted her lips, tongue reaching out to lick them lightly. She bit down on her bottom lip softly, pulling her body up against his tightly as she pushed her lips to his for a moment. Pulling back she looked down at him, a smirk on her lips and desire in her eyes as she whispered "I want <em>you</em>...."<br><br>Leaning into him a little harder, she slid her pants off without even having to get up, leaving her entire body naked and exposed for his eyes. Gliding her way up his body she smiled, her cheeks warm from the thought of what she was about to do. Slowly, she pulled herself up above him, her nethers lining up with his just perfectly as she pulled a blanket up to her hips to contain some of the heat. The room was chilly. Shivering softly, she pressed her lips to his, and at the same time let her hips begin to push down on him, slowly pulling his member into her.

				<em>"I want you..."</em> he thought as her words echoed in the back of his mind. He leaned up again and kissed her, pouring in the emotions that were swimming through his mind and soul. "You're so beautiful, more so then any godess could hope to be...and whats even more important is...I like you. I really, truely, like you." he whispered as their lips parted. It was perhaps the first and maybe even last romantic thing he would say aloud. She had managed to crack the shy shell that he hid his true self in but it was just a crack and far from becoming a whole in that mental armor. <br><br>He layed back amongst the sheets and pillows as he looked up into her eyes and he let out a pleasurable sigh as she guided him inside of her. He had never experienced this before, never dreamed that it could feel so good, and never imagined that soon his mind and body would feel so much better.

				Smiling softly, Natasha let her hands plant themselves on the bed, holding her up above him as she slid down slowly, letting his entire length slide inside of her. She paused once she'd pushed her hips down onto his. She growled low in her throat as the wild let itself out a little, her eyes picking up a luminescence as she fought against the beast inside, wanting to experience this in her current form, at least this time.<br><br>Looking back down at him she looked into his eyes, letting herself get lost in the mystery for a moment. It managed to contain the beast for the time being, allowing her to begin shifting up and down against him, a soft moan leaving her lips as she tilted slightly, hitting a pleasurable spot. Rocking herself against that spot for a moment she looked down at him, her lips parted as she drew in ragged breaths, the pleasure plastered all over her face and even more apparent in her eyes.

				He let a light moan escape from his lips before she heard a light animalistic growl. He found himself wanting to change, to let go and let the animal run free for a small time. Looking up into her eyes she saw him start to change but only for a moment before he gained enough control to return to his human form. <br><br>As he looked up into her eyes he let out another light moan as she moved on top of him and he leaned up just slightly till his lips pressed gently against her breasts.

				She chuckled softly as she realized that they were both having the same trouble taming the wolf. Smiling a little she looked down at him. "Next time we'll have to shift first, see how it goes that way." Her mind wandered to what ti might be like to shirt during the act, but she didn't want to find out this time. They would have plenty of time to experiment.<br><br>It dawned on her then that the wedding was to be the next day, she smiled a little, content with the arrangement as she drove herself up and down his shaft, moaning softly from time to time, the touch of his warm lips on her chest only serving to send her further into her pleasure.

				"Definatly..." he replied as he thought about making love in their hybrid form. He preffered being in the infamous half man half wolf state but he was always careful to only enter it when he was alone or when he crossed the border between worlds. <br><br>As she moved on top of him he let his hips move forward just slightly as he found his body wanting to move just as much as she was, if not more. Soft moans escaped from his lips as he looked up into her eyes and she could feel the desire in each soft kiss against her flesh. His lips were burning with passion just like his eyes, betraying how much he felt for her.

				She shivered softly as Vincent's hips began to push up against hers, the feelings changing quite a bit, though definitely for the better. She gave a moan as she let her chest rest against his, her hips still pushing up again down against his easily.<br><br>Natasha let her face slide in beside his neck as her breathing quickened, her muscles tensing up slightly as she enjoyed the pleasure of his manhood inside of her. Rocking her hips into his she let her lips attach to his neck, finding a nice place to claim for themselves as they parted, gently beginning to suck on the skin there, marking it as her own.

				He let out a deep moan from his gut as she took the smooth skin into her mouth. He found himself wanting to say something, to ask for more of that feeling but he couldnt seem to form words for the moment. His mind was to focused on the moment and the feeling of his body and his heart. <br><br>Once again the change came out as his fingernails turned into short yet sharp claws that dug into her skin for a just a moment. "No..." he whispered, more to himself then her. <em>"Dont loose control..."</em> he thought before breathing deeply, steadying himself for what was going on till the claws receeded.

				Natasha let out a low growl as his claws dug into her skin, her body shuddering roughly against him as she moaned, slamming her hips down into his. "Oh God Vincent! Do that again, if you can." she murmured, half moaning as she spoke. The feeling of his sharp claws dragging against her skin... god, she loved it.<br><br>Pulling herself up and slamming down on him harder and harder she could feel her teeth become sharp, her own claws growing slowly as she let her body mingle between forms. She could control it, at least she was confident that she could for the tie being. She let her nails pull down his chest lightly as she sat up on him, her eyes twinkling as she moaned again.

				Hearing her call out he nodded slowly and closed his eyes, trying to concentrate. Fingernails started to grow again pressing into the thick hide between her fur and muscles.

				The love bite made him moan again as his claws dug in just a bit more. He looked up into her eyes and whispered with need and desire in his voice. "I cant keep going much longer..." The muscles of his body were at their peak, barely able to keep up and ready to let go in pure exhaustion. Yet he never wanted this to end, he enjoyed it to much, wanted more of it and couldnt let it go till his body just couldnt take anymore.

She moaned his name softly as she let her head rest against his shoulder and neck, her body writhing with the pleasure of their colliding hips. "Vincent... ahh... just let go..." She was practically whimpering her words by the time she spoke, her body shuddering with her held back need for release.

				He nodded slowly as he looked over into her eyes and his arms pulled her as close as he could get her. In that same moment every muscle in his body stopped holding him back and his body was filled with an unparalelled feeling of pleasure that overtook him as his hardened flesh filled her entrance with his essence. <br><br>His body seemed to tense up for just a few more moments before he slumped down, barely able to move from a sudden rush of physical exhaustion that overtook him as hard as his orgasm had

				It was at about the same time that Vincent's body froze up that Natasha's did the same.

				She whimpered softly from the after-affect of the intense orgasm that the deed had caused. Her body laid against his, limp and barely able to shift as she panted, still trying to catch her breath. She felt utterly exhausted, and they'd just barely woken themselves up.<br><br>"Can we go back to bed now?" she asked with a small chuckle, her arms wrapping around his body gently as she let her head fall to rest against his chest lightly. "I feel like I've just exhausted myself, and we've barely got up..." she laughed again and looked up at him for a moment before her head fell back onto his chest.<br><br>"God, I just want to stay here all day now...

"Mmmm, how about a long nap and then brunch then maybe back to bed?" he suggested. <br><br>He couldnt think of anythig they had to do today, the day was theirs to do with as they pleased afterall. Leaning up he kissed her once again and smiled "We have all day to ourselves so we can do anything, or everything. Our wedding ceremony is tommorrow though, so we do need a good nights sleep."

She was rather tired again after what they'd just done, and cuddling was never a bad way to spend time with each other, especially when they had so little.<br><br>Her arms lifted as she stretched, a squeaky yawn leaving her lips before she placed her head back on his chest. "That sounds good." she murmured, closing her eyes as she listened to the beating of his heart in his chest. For one day, she was sure that they could afford to just relax. They would have all the time in the world to stalk the limits of their home and visit the other realm.

				He layed back and relaxed for the first time in the morning, letting his arms just hold her close as his eyes closed and he breathed deeply. Each breath through his nose bringing her wonderful scent to him. It was soothing to smell a female nearby, more so to smell the scent of a female werewolf. <br><br>He layed there thinking, mostly about her and what was to come tommorrow night when they would be joined.

				Natasha rested against his chest for a while, her sensitive ears listening to the calming sound of his heart pounding in his chest for a while. Her breaths were slow and calm, unwavering as she tightened her hug around him gently. She'd wanted to say something about how nice it felt where she was, but her lips refused to move as she attempted to open them.<br><br>With little luck in that, she just relaxed. The words could always wait for later. She made a small sound of content, eventually drifting off into a half-sleep. She was still somewhat aware of what was happening around her, though at the same time she was entirely resting her mind from thought. It was a very interesting state to be in, and she often wondered if a regular human could find a state of being awake and sleeping at the same time.

				Vincent closed his eyes but excersized his mind through thought, thoughts about her, thoughts about the territory, thoughts about the spirits that they would deal with together, and thoughts about the future. Future thoughts were what plagued him the most, he wasnt sure if he was ready for that, he was ready for her to be in his life, but the package that came with her was different. Especially the idea of children, he had never thought about having them before but now he was thrust into a situation where they were expected some might say even needed. He could put it off for a few years easily but what then he wondered. In a way he felt released and yet trapped at the same time. Free from one responsibility and thrust into another.

				Natasha let her mind drift as she laid in Vincent's arms. Thoughts of the heat that radiated between them, and the way her breath would catch every time they kissed. She could feel her attachment to him, it wasn't overly strong yet, but it was there, and for the time being, that was what counted. Sighing contently she curled herself up under the blankets, and before she knew it the afternoon had come and the sun was just making it's way to the height of it's journey across the sky for the day. She sighed softly as her eyes flicked open, looking around for a moment before realizing that she'd been dozing right there in his arms. She smiled softly, looking up at him and yawning. "Should be get up?" she asked softly, debating if it was worth it to stay in bed for the entirety of the day, or if they should actually attempt to do something productive.

His concentration was broken when she finally looked up into her eyes and said something. He titled his head to the side as his hand cupped her cheek, the thumb slowly stroking her skin.

She grinned, pondering what they could do. There would probably be a vegetable patch around the yard fairly close. She could work on that and send him off to find a rabbit or a fair sized bird for them to set to roast while the went about something else. it was still just noon, they should have plenty of time for the animal of their choice to be caught and cooked while they had some fun. Perhaps they would manage to go for that walk around the property.<br><br>"That sounds like fun. Let's make dinner together.

She smiled brightly, slipping up from the bed, her naked form dancing about for a moment before she giggled, stealing his shirt from the previous day and sliding it on. His form was big enough that it covered her well. One sleeve-covered hand reached up to pull the collar of the shirt to her nose, her body relaxing from the scent of him.

Potatoes, tomatoes, zuchini, a bunch of different herbs...what did you have in mind?" he asked curiously. When he seemed stretched out he reached over to the nearby dresser to pull out a pair of deep blue silk boxers and slipped them on before walking over to the window.

She was thinking about exploring a little as well, surely this makeshift bedroom within the library wasn't the best room to settle themselves in, at least not once they were officially together. And really, she'd prefer to have whatever room they chose cleaned up and aired out by the time the ceremony was complete.

				He kissed her hand one more time and then turned around slowly to look back at her. He had a caring smile on his face for a few moments till he took a step to the side. "I think Ill take a shower and then go for a walk...or I could show you around the place. What do you think?" <br><br>He didnt wait for answer before walking over to his closet and pulling out a black button up shirt and a pair of deep blue jeans. Laying them both out on the bed before getting a pair of black socks and shined slip on shoes out as well. He stopped there and looked over at the dress they had tossed on the floor hours before "Want me to wash your clothes for you? Theres a washer and dryer in the basement."

				She raised a curious eyebrow, as he'd showered the night before, but nodded anyway. A shower was something she wanted as well. "Go ahead, I'll explore while you're out and I plan on getting a shower myself." She smiled, squeezing his hand lightly before letting it go as he stepped away from her.<br><br>She nodded her head slightly at the outfit he'd set out, finding it rather cute. "Well, I think I'm just going to explore the house today, so I'll be fine to borrow some of your clothes while my dress gets washed, so long as you don't mind." She gave her best puppy eyes, which worked rather well as her eyes even flashed yellow, the pupils large as if she were sniffling. Chuckling softly she pulled on the sleeves of the shirt she'd already 'stolen', her hands disappearing under the material as she waited for a quick response before wandering off.

				"Alright, Ill see you later then" he said before giving her a kiss on the cheek and taking all the clothes with him. <br><br>He took her clothes down into the basement and put them in the washer first before going back upstairs to the bathroom next to his own room. There he layed out his clothes again and then stepped inside the shower, taking his time to rinse himself off before lathering up his body with a bar of soap. He stood in the nozzle for a long time as the hot water cascaded down over his toned body and relaxed his muscles. Occasionally lathering up and rinsing off again<br><br>After almost half an hour he finally reached down and turned the water off before stepping out to dry off. He took his time combing his hair and brushing his teeth before putting the clothes on to create the look of his handsome self. He always tried to look imaculate no matter what the occasion and he was pleased with his look today. <br><br>When he was dressed he went down to the first floor and into the kitchen, took some time to arrange the pots he would need and got to work on making preperations for everything.

				Natasha nodded as he kissed her cheek, watching him go before raiding his dresser for a pair of boxers to borrow for the day as well. She slid them on before taking to exploring, moving about the upstairs hall and opening the doors, pushing windows open in most rooms to let the dust air itself out. She found the Master bedroom at the end of the hall, the linen closet nearby coming to great use. After changing all of the dusty linens to clean ones and opening up the windows, she nodded her head and picked up a towel, heading back down the hall to the bathroom to get a shower herself.<br><br>She turned on the hot water and let it run over her body, refreshing her fully as she cleaned herself up and let the heat relax and rejuvenate her muscles. After finishing up she slipped out from the heat, a little reluctantly, and dried off, sliding back into the borrowed clothing before picking up the dirty linens she'd left outside the door and making her way downstairs.<br><br>After dropping them off in the laundry room, she headed up to the kitchen to join him, washing her hands and smiling as she moved to stand close to him. "What can I help with?" <br>

				As he heard her voice he looked up and over, smiling handsomely. "Um...well I need an onion from the garden...if you get some potatoes I can mash them for dinner too." he answered as he walked over to the counter. He took down a roll of alluminum foil and layed it over the pan before getting the roast out of the freezer and setting it inside along with just a bit of water. <br><br>He paused there and set an old wicker basket on the counter for her to carry everything in. "We could use a vegtable too...how about steamed carrots? Oh and what do you want to drink with it? We've got some wines downstairs, or milk, soda, and water." he asked.

				She blushed lightly as he smiled, the brightness of his own smiling lightening her mood a little. She nodded her head slightly, making a short list in her head as he spoke. <em>Onion, potatoes, carrots.</em> She picked up the basket, holding it gently as she let him speak again.<br><br>She pondered only for a moment as he mentioned the different drinks he had before chuckling quietly. "Wine seems best fitted to a nice dinner, perhaps water on the side. I'll pick something nice when I get back in from the garden." She smiled, heading out into the yard and making her way to the vegetable patch, picking out the things he'd asked for and setting them in the basket, eventually making her way back in.<br><br>She set the basket in the sink to make it easy to wash the veggies, quickly skirting off to the basement to find the wine cellar.

				"Thanks" he said as she placed the vegtables by the sink, and he didnt waste a moment before going over to get to the next phase of preparing their meal. He measured the proper seasonings for the roast, adding in a pinch of salt and pepper as well as a small amount of basil. Once that was done he moved to the sink, taking his time to wash the vegtables thoroughly before peeling the potatoes and carrots and then cutting them into much smaller pieces as they piled into seperate bowls he had set out. <br><br>Then he cut the onion and the huge waft of its scent made his eyes water, normal humans sometimes cried when they cut onions so for a werewolf the scent was extraordinarily powerful. Using the knife he cut them into very thin pieces and sprinkled them over the roast before finally closing the alluminum foil and placing it all in the refridgerator. He would have to wait till the afternoon came to really start cooking but most of the preperations were complete.

				She nodded her head once as he thanked her, disappearing into the basement in a flurry of clothing that hung from her smaller body. Poking around in the dark for only a moment or two, she hit the lights and have a deep sniff to the air. Noting the smell of grapes, she followed it to one of the corner areas of the basement, a nod of her head as she opened the small door to the wine cellar, turned the light on, and slipped inside.<br><br>Natasha rolled her fingers along the bottles, checking names and years as well as types. Finally settling on a bottle of Pinot Noir, she tucked it under her arm and turned off the lights before making her way upstairs. She offered the bottle to Vincent with a smile. "How does this one look?" she asked, checking on the state of things and quickly realizing that the preparations were as far as they could come. She would hand it to him, he was a wiz in the kitchen, and she didn't particularly mind. It was nice not to have to worry about cooking from time to time.<br><br>Once she'd slid the bottle into the fride to chill a little more, she slid her body up against his, pulling his arms over her shoulders as she nuzzled against his chest happily. "I like it here, Vincent..." she murmured softly, feeling protected and yet respected within the hold of the man in front of her.

				She was purring now, it was a quiet rumble that came from her chest. Her head rested under his chin very gently. "I think I'd like a tour." she smiled, curling in close to him once more. She couldn't seem to get enough of it, just being close to him like that... perhaps a good thing, she wanted to be with him. After another minute or two of being close to him she took her place at his side, her fingers curling up into his. "Lead the way..." she grinned.

				He nodded slowly, reluctantly stepping away from her arms and taking her hand. He held it gently as he lead her back out to the front door and stopped there. "Well this is the entrance way, you got to see thsi earlier so lets go into the ballroom." he suggested before leading her down the west hallway and to a pair of double doors. <br><br>He opened both of them and lead her inside where a huge room with a hardwood floor stood. It was decorated in light colors like peach and white with long drapes hung over each of the windows scattered around. "This is the ball room. We dont use it very much except for parties when we need to influence human politics. I sometimes use it for rituals as well."

				Natasha smiled, wrapping her arms around one of his and nuzzling against it as he led her through the west wing, the intricately carved double doors proving that whatever was sealed behind them would be a sight worth seeing. She nearly gasped as he threw one of the doors open, the shiny floors of the ballroom within calling to her. Dancing was one of her hobbies, though she didn't get to indulge it in too often. Perhaps with such a wonderful place waiting for her, she might enjoy it more often.<br><br>Her head nodded slowly as he mentioned what the room was used for. It sounded like she would have plenty of time to use it if she so wished. She twirled off into the center of the room before spinning her way back to him with a giggle. "I think I'm going to have fun in here." she grinned.

				He watched her with a warm smile, noting how she moved and especially how graceful she did it. He didnt expect that of a warrior, at least not one who lived by the lifestyle of one. "I suppose dancings a hobby of yours? I cant say Ive done it much,usually I just show up so people know I was here and then I go back to my research and spirits."

				It was actually with surprising grace that a true warrior would stalk the woods. Bounding through and over things that would keep them silent, while still looking as elegant as the wind that rustled through their fur. She had taken a lot of time training to learn to move through the brush in such a way, and from the flowing movements of her hunt, she'd found a love for dance. <br><br>She nodded as she returned to his side, taking his hand again. "It is, something I learned through my own 'studies'" she chuckled, nuzzling her way back against his arm and letting him move on to the next room.

				he took her hand and kissed it once before leading her out of the ball room and back down the hallway. He stopped halfway to look at the doors and take a moment to think. "Lets see, you saw the entrance way, the ball room, the kitchen...the back yard, the hedge maze...I know!" he finally announced before leading her out the west wing and to an old building a few hundred yards away. <br><br>He opened it and lead her inside to show her a swimming pool with water filled. "This is the pool. I dont use it a lot, but sometimes I come to the hot tub in the other room or to relax here"

				She was happy to follow along as he led her outside to the pool, a smile on her face as she nodded. "Mmm... this looks like a fun place to relax. Is there a sauna?" she grinned, her favorite place to be when around the pool was steaming herself in the wonderful heat of the sauna. <br><br>"I've seen the majority of the house. I think I picked out the Master Bedroom for... us?" Well that was an interesting thought. The next morning she'd be preparing for her marriage, which would happen in the moonlight, the next evening. How it had ended up that she would meet her potential-mate two nights before the full moon, she wasn't sure, but it had. And so far, it looked good for them.<br><br>"Hey... if we have nothing else to do... we could do a little... relaxing... of our own, right here." She smiled mischievously up at him, thinking that hopping into the hot tub without their clothes could be a fun afternoon. They both knew the result of being in range of another single were of there kind... it was automatic to want to be all over each other... and that was how she was feeling again.

				She smiled, setting the Sauna to heat up as she headed on a straight shot for the hot tub, her fingers lifting up to the buttons of the shirt she was wearing slowly undoing them as she made her way over. By the time she got there, she'd already managed to get all the buttons undone, the shirt hanging open and loose on her body. She smirked, pushing her shoulders back and watching it drop to the ground, the borrowed boxers following shortly after.<br><br>She had nothing to hide from him, they'd already exposed themselves, so why not enjoy herself. She turned to look at him and winked playfully as she stepped into the hot tub, moaning softly as her body began to warm.

				He was unable to take his eyes off her as she moved away, mezmerized by her charm, grace, and playfullness. As she looked back and winked at him he felt his cheeks flush as they grew a more crimson shade. He breathed deeply before reaching up to unbutton the shirt, fold it, and set it to the side and then he did the same with his pants, boxers, and socks. Leaving the shoes on top of everything. <br><br>Standing fully in the nude he walked toward the hot tub and let his hand run through it to test the tempeture before stepping in and sitting down on the side opposite of her. He let out a pleased Mmmmm sound as he felt the warm water carress his skin and he leaned back against the edge, breathing deeply again.

She watched as he slid into the water with her, a smile on her face as she let her head tilt back into the rest. Giving herself a few moments to relax, she planned what she would do to him. Hot water and a hot man, there was no way she could pass this opportunity up.<br><br>Once she'd given her body a chance to relax for a few minutes she slid through the water to straddle his lap, her lips moving down to press against his gently.

				Her suprise caught him off guard, and his hand moved to her shoulders instinctivly. As he realized who was there he relaxed a bit but it didnt take away the suprise. Looking up into her eyes he nodded slowly and let his hands set on her hips, smiling. "Im not against it..." he said in an unsure tone.

Once it was done there was no turning back, but before she could lose her place.<br><br>She nearly growled as he called her 'pretty'. Was that all?

				It was the natural position for the warrior to take her place in control, it could be an issue for a little while as the pair worked out which of them was more so in charge. Ultimately it would likely come down to her. A shaman against the top warrior of the pair of clans... it was near impossible that he might come out on top if things turned physical.<br><br>She held him back in the relaxed position gently, her lips only touching his when she allowed it. Slowly, but surely, she was already beginning to work into the place that she was natural to.

He forced himself to relax even more by breathing deeply and letting his fingers run along her spine. His fingertips moved along the ridges of her back, adept fingers gently massaging the pressure points all over her back.<br><br>&nbsp;He was good at massage, having learned the techniques from pleasure spirits he had delt with and even distracted his fingertips had a certain touch that made the surronding enviroment seem more sensual and arousing

				Natasha shivered softly, purring a bit from her throat as she felt his fingers releasing the tension from her back. She moaned softly as he worked on massaging her, her head falling to his shoulder gently as she nuzzled her nose in against his neck, her lips still managing to keep up their gently kisses on the soft areas.<br><br>She felt a shudder run along her spine, some combination of his fingers, the heat, and her own teasing working to arouse her body greatly. She could feel that between her legs would be wet with something that was not the water of the hot tub, and she'd not even yet let her truly sensitive areas be touched. This was definitely working the way intended, she thought to herself, another soft moan leaving her lips as his fingers released another pressure point.

				She was quiet for a few moments as he worked on her shoulders, an occasional murmur of pleasure leaving her lips as she laid still, letting him work the tension from her body with his magic fingers. She groaned softly as her shoulders dropped back slightly, relaxation seeping through her thoroughly excited body.<br><br>She purred a bit as she kissed at his neck, her tongue reaching out over the skin from time to time as she worked on sending that height just a little further. A hand slid from his arm down through the water, running over her abdomen and further down until her finger tips very gently teased over his member through the water, just barely touching it and letting the water do it's work.

				His member was harder then it had ever been before and it throbbed uncontrollably as the blood rushed through his body. He lifted his head up more for a moment before looking back into her eyes and smiling handsomely. His fingers stopped as well and moved from her shoulders up just below her jaw. <br><br>He was learning a lot from her, how to arouse her to a point that was difficult to achieve and how her body responded to nerve stimulus. He wondered, if given enough time, if he could eventually learn to birng her to pure exctasy with a few touches. It was an intriguing thought, and his scholarly mind wondered how interesting the search for that answer would be.

				She smiled a bit as she felt his member throbbing under the tiny touch of her fingers, her smile brightening slightly as he did the same. She leaned in slowly as his fingers touched her chin, her lips pressing to his in a deep and passionate kiss, her desires pushing through to the front of her mind as she realized just how aroused and wanting her body was right now. <br><br>Natasha sighed softly into his lips, pulling back and looking down into his eyes as her hands moved to his shoulders. She shifted her hips to sit above his, slowly letting them settle, her nethers pushing to his very gently. She rolls her hips, teasing them both gently as she went, her lips locking tighter to Vincent's.

				As their lips touched it was like electricity shooting through the two of them. The spark of passion striking the core of his being like a lightning bolt striking him but unlike lightning it didnt strike and disapate in a moment. For him it drove him onward to kiss her deeply with desires he hardly realized. He wondered if his body was at its limit or if he could become even more aroused he couldnt be sure of which

				Natasha was getting impatient with herself now. Her arousal was still growing by the second, and her body was beginning to ache for something more than the teasing touches she was giving. She knew she was approaching the line, if she wasn't careful, she'd end up breaking out in fur and claws soon. She groaned a bit as she continued to grind their nethers together, looking down to see if he was getting as impatient as herself.

				Vincent was a patient man, or at least far more patient then most werewolves were but then many of his dealings had forced him to be like that. Smiling he leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on her lips and look into her eyes. "I dont think Ive ever been turned on this much...and I want so much more." he whispered

				She returned the kiss feverishly, holding his lips against hers as long as she could possibly manage to. With a soft groan she rolled her hips against him once more, setting her positioning just so. "We can work on that, love." she murmured, letting him slide inside of her, though just a tiny bit. She chuckled, moaning softly as she rocked into him, teasing that small section that she allowed to enter her.

				He let out a light moan as he slipped inside her and the walls of her soft flesh hugged his throbbing manhood. It was the most sensitive part of him and even now he found himself on a precipice of pure unparraleled pleasure and a desire for so much more. He leaned forward again as his hands set on her shoulders and he kissed her again in a long yet soft kiss as emotion and pleasure mixed with his body's desires.

				Natasha was quiet for a moment as she slid her soft wetness let only the head inside, teasing it slowly, ensuring that he was dying for more before she would make a move to give more. Her hands shifted to his shoulders for support as he pulled her into another passion ridged kiss, her body finally giving in to the pleasure she wanted so badly. With a soft groan she let her body press down on his, her hips sliding forward and colliding with his as she sheathed his length within her body. Her lips pressed to his again hungrily as she began thrusting slowly, not wanting to waste the long teasing process by moving too fast and letting them end quickly.

				He let out a deep moan as he felt her walls hug his length and it made him look into her eyes with a deep longing for more as well as a desire to be with her. His hips moved just slightly forward, pressing tightly against her nether regions as he stared into her eyes. Just like the last time he felt something special , not because of the sex itself, but because it was with her. <br><br>Leaning forward he pressed his lips gently against hers, kissing her deeply and letting his tongue brush against her lips. He found himself wanting to kiss her more, even more deeply then he had before but he realized that this was supposed to be slow and full of passion and meaning so he fought the urges and tried to go with the flow, letting her lead the way

				Natasha moaned gently into his lips, her hips slowly moving against his, rolling in circles from time to time between her up and down movements. She managed to keep her movements slow and timed, somehow keeping herself from speeding up like she so dearly wanted to. The self control it required was something she still wasn't sure she had, but was miraculously managing for the time being. <br><br>She pulled in a shaky breath as she leaned back in to let her lips connect with his once more, her tongue finding his again and slowly caressing it, teasing them both with the slow and sensual movements of her hips, the electricity from their tongues only adding to the flame. She moaned softly once more, pulling back to take a deep breath as her hips continued working, the heat from the hot tub working her into a more relaxed state and helping her ability to keep herself under control.

				It was hard for him to let her pull away but he fought that idea of control. With every slow movement of her hips he let out a pleased sound, sometimes a moan, sometimes just a sharp breath as pleasure raced through his nerves. His hands moved behind her back and he pulled her close till they were chest to chest and he held her as tightly as he could like a true lover.<br><br>The warmth of the hot tub relaxed him and he found the sensation quite different then when they mated in his bed, yet still very pleasing and sensual. He found this constant state of arousal something that was also different yet felt so good. The ideas of climax and more instense and faster movements were in his mind but he found himself torn between what his mind and body wanted, it was a fighteningly similar battle when compared to the instincts of his werewolf self and the human reason that were often at odds.

				Natasha worked slowly for a while, still unsure of how she had managed to keep herself in check so long. Slowly though, her ability to control her desire began to fade. The instinct to want her way became stronger with time, and she would begin to lose control, her hips pushing faster and harder against Vincent's. It had been a considerable amount of time, at least. Enough that the passion was not leaving no matter how quickly she pushed.<br><br>Her lips stayed glued to his as she worked on getting exactly what she wanted from him. As her hips pushed faster her moans became louder, her shudders overpowering her ability to think. Growling softly through the pleasure, she pulled her lips away to take a long breath, her teeth moving to his neck and beginning to nip and bite gently on the skin there. she needed something to focus her attention on, and perhaps fortunately for Vincent, that would be his neck.

				He was a little taken aback as she broke the kiss and he blinked in a confused manner at first, until he felt her teeth sink into his neck. The nip was strong enough to get his attention but yet soft enough not to hurt the thick hide of skin. <br><br>Again he felt like the pleasure in his body had built up to such a point where he might explode any second. His arms held her as tightly as he could, holding her like a lover as she moved along his member. A gentle moan escaped from his lips as he looked down, wanting to see her eyes again.

				Natasha was quiet for a few moments, just breathing heavily and listening to the sounds that Vincent made for her. As he looked down at her and she caught his eyes, her lips parted slightly to allow a soft moan to escape. Just the look in his eyes was almost enough to drive her right over the edge.<br><br>Moaning again as she rolled her hips and moved her body along his length, she gasped for a breath sharply, her nails gently digging into his arms as her entire body shuddered above his, the cry from her lips and the look of pure bliss on her face the signal that she'd just given in to her body's wants.

				The look of her face pushed him over the edge and made his body plummet into a sea of pleasure that he had never experienced before. The similarity was there but the intensity made it so much more. As his warm essence poured into her she could see his face was a reflection of the bliss he felt rushing through his body. <br><br>

				She gasped and moaned her own pleasure for a few moments afterward, eventually beginning to calm down and slipping her body up from his. Sliding back into the backrest and letting the hot tub go to work on her muscles, she sighed happily and yawned. "I think I'm going to be needing a little more sleep from now on." she laughed.

				For a few more moments he found himself drowning in an ocean of pleasure but as the seconds passed he slowly was drawn back into reality and the feeling of exhaustion and lingering feelings of pleasure fading from his body. He was a bit disapointed as she lifted off of him and layed against the side of the hot tube though. <br><br>He chuckled softly at her comment and layed back as well, relaxing as the hot water worked on his body. "We'll have lots of time to sleep later...maybe a nap before dinner and after dinner we could do something else." he suggested.

It won't be bad for me, I'm sure, just not use to having my mind blown more than once per day." she smiled a little.<br><br>Once her muscles had been given a chance to relax, her body beginning to calm down, she glided through the water to his side, settling in the seat next to his and resting her head on his shoulder. "I think that this is going to go well, Vincent." she murmured, feeling an attachment to him already. It was likely her wolf instinct, as he would be the new male whether she liked it or not, but something deeper was forming, and she was glad for that. She didn't want to be unhappy for the rest of her life, even if it did mean peace among their packs.

He took a long time to look at her, smiling handsomely as he put his arm around behind her and breathed in deeply to take in her scent again. "This reminds me of a divination I did when I was twelve, it told me that a goddess of wolves would visit me and that in time I would care deeply for her. I think that time has come."

She closed her eyes as she listed to him speaking, the scent of his body drifting in to calm her with each breath that she would take.

				"No?" he asked suprisingly, smiling as a finger trailed across her forehead to wipe away an errant hair. "Perhaps my interpetation of that divinination was wrong." he said in an even tone. As he stared into her eyes he breathed in deeply again so he could take in her scent before whispering. "All the same, I like being around you. You're...for lack of a better word, fun." <br><br>He tilted his head to the side while staring into her eyes, his chest rising and falling slowly as he continued to breath and smell her. "I think I would like to go hunting again soon, not for food or anything like that but for answers. Im used to hunting in the spirit world for answers to obscure questions or forgotten lore...I'ld like you to come with me next time though.

				Natasha smiled a bit, nuzzling back into him gently after a few moments. "Fun... hmm, interesting." she was quiet for a few moments debating on her own thoughts. "I like being with you too, Vincent. But I think it's more because you're so interesting, and it just feels right to be with you." She smiled, her lips debating kissing his neck before deciding not to tease him too much.<br><br>An eyebrow raised slightly as he spoke of the 'place that wasn't'... she would ask questions, but somehow she knew they would be explained when it was important. "I would love to go with you." she murmured, wondering if she would go often with him to the other plane. Obviously it would be permitted, anyone could go over, but there were always sites that required certain levels of knowledge to enter. "I've only been once before, and I wasn't there long. I'm sure you can show me things I'd never find on my own."

				He nodded slowly and took a moment to think about how to explain it. All werewolves were shamanistic in some way, they all new that a balance between the two worlds had to be maintained and that they had been appointed the predetors to keep that balance but few really knew the specifics. "Alright well, you know that both worlds exist but most dont know that the spirits world is mirrored by our own. Human memories are the main things that shape it. If people remember a vast forest being where a skyscraper is then the two terrains will intermix. The building might be filled with the forest's setting. Concepts take form too, the idea of heaven for example likely exists somewhere in the other world, likely in the sky. Places that arent are such conceptual places. A building that doesnt have a thirteenth floor in our world, will have one in the spirit world and it will be filled with spirits of all types"

				Natasha just listened and nodded. It was a concept she had some knowledge of, but of course he would be the expert since he was specifically a shaman. She nodded along, letting him explain before taking a few moments to let it sink in totally. "It's a rather interesting concept." she murmured, still thinking it over as she wondered what exactly she should think of something like heaven existing on another plane. "It almost sounds crazy, but I know it's true.... I don't know if I could be what you are an stay sane." she laughed a bit, pressing close against him. "But I suppose we all think of everyone else's specialties in that way. Not many people would lead battles for their life and be sane." <br><br>She looked up at the sky through the nearest opening, judging the time quietly. "We should probably get back... dinner might be well to go in the oven now."

				"At least Im not speaking in riddles this time." he said with a soft chuckle. He looked over at the windows and nodded slowly as the sun stood high in the sky. "Two hours for the roast, about half an hour for everything else to cook...yeah we should get back and get started." he answered. As he looked back into her eyes he smiled a bit "Although I really dont want to leave." he said as his hands moved away from her hips and back. <br><br>Once she had moved he got out and toweled himself off before slipping back into his clothes. She could tell that he wasnt used to wearing fancy garments like today, in fact he wasnt used to wearing much at all since he relied on all his forms for his trade. When you had to negotiate as a human one moment and then change into a wolf to chase it down a split second later clothes only got in the way. As he finished adjusting the the jacket he moved to the door and waited for her, offering his hand when she joined him

				"Aye, it is good that you're not. I'm not sure how well I'd do at deciphering them." she laughed quietly, slipping out from the soothing heat of the water and shaking herself off slightly. It was embedded into her somewhere, even if it didn't work so well in a human form. Once she'd managed to dry off slightly she slipped back into the borrowed clothes, dreading putting the dress back on once they got back to the house. By this time of the day it would surely be clean and she wouldn't want to give a bad impression.<br><br>After she caught up to him she gently placed her hand within the offered one, still finding the feeling new, though very pleasant. She smiled and sighed happily, adjusting the collar on her borrowed shirt so that she barely had to tilt her head downward to get constant whiffs of his scent. "So where did you learn your skills in the kitchen?" she asked curiously, quite sure that none of the men she knew would have any clue how to cook anything that hadn't been set in the oven already.

				"A spirit." he said softly as he reached forward to open the door for her, letting her go first and following her outside a moment later. "A year ago I wanted to learn a gift and could only find one spirit to teach it to me, a spirit of Gluttony. It wanted a momentous meal served in its honor so part of our exchange was it teaching me to cook several dishes. I must have spent three days in its kitchen, learning and cooking for it before it was finally sated."<br><br>As they walked through the green grass he looked toward the sun, noticing that it would fall below the horizon within a few hours.

				Natasha nodded slightly as he spoke of the way that he had learned to cook. It was a response that she never could have predicted or expected, and a very unique one at that. She walked with him, pondering it for a few moments. "So what was the gift that you wanted to learn from such a spirit?" She was a curious being, it was in their nature perhaps to want to know things about others. And her own curiosity for someone who she was to pair with was quite high.<br><br>"Oh... I would prefer to sit outside so long as the bugs aren't bad." she smiled, heading through the door back into the kitchen. "I might invest in a screen for the sitting area out there, or would there me some way to magically shield off the area from pests?" She doubted nothing.

				He reached down to take her hand and hold it as they walked, thinking it was a good way to help build a romantic relationship with her. "Normally we can only survive on regular food like meat. Gluttony spirits tend to eat whatever they can find and essence, that energy that all spirits are made of, is like crack for them. It taught me how to channel essence into a form of nutrition. It still leaves me hungry but I cant actually die from starvation as long as I can find essence from a locus or even killing a spirit to consume the essence it has."<br><br>As they walked past the tables near the backdoor he looked about for a moment and then shrugged slowly. "I know how to ward an area against humans and predators but not insects. Assuming there is such a gift out there." he said with a slight chuckle before continuing on to the door.<br><br>As they came to the door he opened it again for her and followed her inside, making his way to the kitchen. He didn't waste any time in putting the roast into the preheated oven and setting a few pots up for boiling. "The roast should be done in about two hours, two and half at the most. In the meantime we can work on the side dishes."

				She nodded along as he continued to explain, finding great interest in the spirits that he worked with. The one he was describing at the moment didn't sound very pleasant to work with, but it's abilities did sound quite useful. She found his lifestyle to be something quite interesting, if odd, to her.<br><br>She slipped through the door beside him, arching her back slightly as she tries to stretch out her spine. After feeling a crack here and there she moaned happily as the tension released, letting her move more comfortably as she joined him in the kitchen to start working on some of the side dishes that had been chosen. She pondered as she worked on some of the vegetables, eventually piping up.<br><br>"So, we wed tonight... when the moon is high. Do you feel ready?" she asked quietly, wondering about the whole thing. She felt comfortable with Vincent, but it still seemed very fast. Of course, that was the way their species seemed to work - whatever was best for them would be what would happen. And since their union would bring two clans together, it wouldn't be an option to have more time. Somehow she didn't feel too bad about it. They would come to know each other well in time, it was just getting past the ceremony. She was beginning to think that perhaps it was just the impending ceremony that made her nervous. She had confidence that things would be fine, but somehow she still had jitters.

				He stopped his work a looked back, shrugged after a moment. "I want to say yes but I'm still nervous. I think that's to be expected though. I'm sure everyone who swears their love to another for the rest of their lives feel the same nervousness." he answered before looking back at her. His right hand reached up and brushed away a few hairs from his forehead. "I think our parents could have chosen much worse mates for us both. At least I can honestly say that I have hope for our marriage, you don't understand me but you still accept me and that means a great deal to me."<br><br>He set up a second pot and filled it with hot water before setting it up to boil. Then he moved back to her and hoped up on the counter, sitting there as he looked at her. "I'll try my best to be a good husband to you but I am still nervous...Are you as nervous as I am?" he asked softly.

Even those who have known each other for their entire lives have nervousness before committing themselves to one another for life, at least any of those whom I've known."

But yes, I am nervous too." she murmured, turning to look at him as she finished chopping the vegetables. She dropped them into the pot to sit for a while before turning around to look at him right on. "I think I am more nervous about disappointing others, than wedding to you. I don't have any bad feelings about it, and I find my gut feelings are usually correct."<br><br>"Well, if we have a couple of hours... you mentioned visiting the other plane?" she tilted her head slightly, curious. "Do we have time for a quick visit there?"

				He listened carefully to her, definitely relating to how she felt. He moved past her to the drawers to pull out some utensils and lay them out before going back to her and setting a hand on the small of her back. "There's a locus nearby that we can use to cross over. We could run over, pop in for half an hour or so and then head back."<br><br>He stepped past her and reached up, unbuttoning his shirt, folding it, and setting it on the far counter before starting to work on his other clothes. "Better go over in wolf form though. We can get there faster and with less chance of being seen."

				Natasha nodded, smiling as he placed his hand gently on her back. "That sounds fine to me." she murmured, looking up at him as she laid her head gently on his shoulder. She enjoyed just being close with him for a few moments before pulling herself from his shoulder and stepping back toward the door to the backyard.<br><br>She stretched out, pulling the clothing she was wearing off and folding it into a small pile. Leaving it there by the door she shook out as she changed, her fur erupting from her body as her body changed, eventually leaving a white wolf standing in her place. She yipped at Vincent, wandering in a circle while she waited for him.

				He double checked the burners to make sure they would all be fine while they were out of the house and then he undressed completly. Leaving each garment folded neatly on the window sill before he stepped outside, completly nude. He took a moment to stretch before kneeling down and taking the time to change his form to that of a small but fit black wolf. <br><br>He took a moment to step toward her and smell her before looking out toward the road and dashing off. Going slow enough that she could easily catch up to him. He ran along side the road till they came to a city park with a playground built into it and an old library next door. He stopped there and looked back to make sure she was still with him. When she ran up to him he approached an old tree that had to be forty feet high and as he stood in front of it he seemed to fade away, passing over into the other world.<br><br>They appeared on the other side where things seemed darker and yet the light of the moon and the pinpoints of the stars seemed much brighter. The ground was still dirt and grass but around them were wooden bookshelves, stuffed full of tomes. Spiders the size of a humans head moved slowly, sorting the tomes and all around them they could see spirits of various kinds. Some animals that history and lore saw as intelligent, some were books and computers, and yet others had to shape they simply <em>were</em>.<br><br>Vincent took a few steps back, letting his nose brush against her furred neck as he smelled her again and spoke in the wolves tongue. "This is the field of knowlege. A place that isnt. A place where the park and library bleed in together to create this masterpiece of learning."

				Natasha followed right on Vincent's tail as he moved along the road, her eyes watching the ground where their paw marks would come together. She huffed in a laugh as she noticed that she was a fair bit larger than him in this form, but it was likely to go along with their positions in society.<br><br>She paused, her steps moving much slower as she realized that the world had suddenly changed. Her body jumped back as she saw the over-sized arachnids working at keeping books in order. Spiders were not her thing... shaking her head a little to jerk the feeling away she moved closer to Vincent, pushing her head against the side of his neck in a small gesture of affection.<br><br>This world, there were so many strange things about it. She had never seen creatures of the likes of the ones she was seeing now in her life. And she had travelled for years with her family, and then again as the head of the warriors for her pack. Either way, she could see that this was no part of the world of humans and living beings. This was a world beyond all that, another plane where the impossible was possible and the non-existent existed. It was a fully new experience for Natasha, but she was enjoying it nonetheless. The strange world captivated her attention, drawing her into it's song.<br><br>She took a hesitant step forward, moving in between two bookshelves toward a strange but interesting smell. Her nose led her until she found herself standing in front of a large flower the size of her body. "What is this?" she asked curiously, giving it a cautious sniff. She didn't want to stick her head into anything that might grab her, and she had no idea of how violent of disguised the predators on this plane might be. "It smells wonderful." she murmured, unable to keep her nose from the edge of the plant.

				He followed behind her coming up from behind her and letting his nose brush against her neck. He leaned forward and sniffed once. "A flower with a strong, yet sleeping spirit." he answered before sitting down and looking at her. "Things that have powerful spirits inside them tend to be larger and your senses will pick them up easier. All objects have spirits in this realm but there are a lot of objects in which the spirit is sleeping, oblivious to whats around it till something happens to wake it up. The trigger could be anything but usually its something having to do with the spirits choir."<br><br>As he sat there he tilted his head to the side while looking over the flower. "Its kind of strange though. Spirits of a single choir dont usually become very powerful. They always have multiple aspects to themselves but this one only seems to be a plant"

				Natasha sat down and nodded as he spoke, explaining the way the world they were in worked. The concepts and thoughts were very interesting to her, though she couldn't fully comprehend much behind the 'this is how things work' mask. Her curiosity demanded to understand why things were as they were, but Natasha had a strong feeling that the question itself might be unanswerable. Even if it was something that had a process to it, the complexity of the world told her she would never fully understand it, if at all.<br><br>"I see..." she murmured as he finished, her head nodded as she pushed her nose into the flower, wanting to understand what drew her so intently toward it. She took a long sniff of the nectar inside and was sure that she understood now. The exotic scent was just up her alley. "Where can I get this in an <em>Eau de Parfum</em>?" she chuckled, the sound more of a hitching growl.

				"Im sure you could find something like it, just not nearly as potent." he said as his emotional scent changed to indicate he was amused with the idea. Vincent slowly padded off over to one of the shelves looking over them and smelling the mix of spiritual essence, leather, paper, and wood. As his eyes spotted an old tome as thick as two bricks he shifted again into a form that many would think of as the wolfman. It was not the hybrid form or fully human but a mix with just a bit more human in it then wolf. <br><br>Two clawed hands reached forward and slowly pulled the old leather bound tome out before cracking it open to see a fully handwritten book. "Journey of the harbinger..." he said softly, tilting his head to the side as he thought about it. "Thats an old deed name...sounds like the late seventeen hundreds..." he was about to turn the page to the first chapter before he stopped himself. "We had better get back, these books have a spell on me. I can never put one down after I start reading it." he said with a slight chuckle

				Natasha shook her head a little. "No, I'm fine with enjoying it's delicacy when I can." she gave a little purring sound, more of a rolled soft growl, but it was close enough. She sat back on her hind legs and watched him as he moved to the bookshelf, her head tilting slightly, her curiosity getting the best of her. She was about to ask him what he was doing when she saw the clawed fingers reaching for one of the books on the shelf. A light whine left her throat as she worried that he would get distracted with the reading.<br><br>Her fears were confirmed as he spoke, but she was glad to see he had already closed the book. He was right, time must be slightly off in this world because it seemed they had only been there a few moments, though a feeling inside of her told her they should return to their proper plane of existence. She gave a nod, pawing toward him to follow back to their rightful world.<br><br>"Well that was fun." she smiled as her fur disappeared into skin once again, her shift taking place mere seconds after they had entered their own world. "We should go again sometime when there is no hold on time..."

				He followed her toward the center of the field before shifting back to their true world. As he appeared in the open grassland he took a moment to stretch before looking back, wondering what secrets were in the book he found. His concentration was shattered at the sound of her voice though, forcing him to look at her once again. <br><br>Though he was clearly distracted he nodded slowly, stretching out the beautiful black fur coat of his once again before making a few strides toward their home. "Next time." he assured her. "I spend a lot of time there anyway, its where I do most of my research and meet my spiritual contacts."

				Natasha nodded, stretching her fresh human body out before moving toward the place where she'd left her dress folded neatly, waiting for her return. Slipping into it she smoothed out the creases and tightened it to fit more of the way she liked. It really wasn't her type of dress, but whatever her parents wished in this one particular case.<br><br>She stepped into the house again after shaking herself off from any remaining fur, heading over to the stove to check on how dinner was moving along. After giving everything a check and a stir she nodded, sure that it was very close to being complete. "A few more minutes." she smiled as Vincent entered the house behind her.

				Vincent walked in on all fours, still in the form of a wolf with pitch black fur. He stopped by her, taking a moment to smell her legs before moving past her to the counter. In just a few moments his form changed from the beautiful wolf to the form a slim young man. "Could you set the table while I get dressed?" he asked softly as he slipped into the pair of slacks. He took his time getting dressed, making sure every garment and button was in place so that he would look his best for her. He was not used to clothes like these, acctually he wasnt used to clothes at all since he preffered to run free in the form of a wolf <br><br>As he slipped the tie back on he looked over the meal and when he thought it was ready he spooned it all into bowls and plates that would be used for serving and one by one brought them to the dinning room table. The scent of expertly cooked food filled the room as they gathered. Once it was all set he moved to a chair, pulling it out and standing behind it for her while presenting her with a warm smile "Your chair m'lady." he said softly<br><br>

				She nodded gently as he asked her to set the table, taking out the needed silverware and setting it on the table, neatly folded into the cloth napkins that she'd found. After bringing down two crystal wine glasses she poured the wine that they'd chosen for the night into each glass. A match lit the candles in the centerpiece to give a gentle flickering light to their dinner, as the sun was beginning to set now. It was a beautiful orange, pink and purple sky, it would be a nice day, she was sure.<br><br>She moved back to the counter to get plates to set on either side of the table, giving them a place to put the foot once it had been dished. Nodding to herself, Natasha washed her hands and smoothed out her dress. She couldn't wait to be in a dress of her choice, or even normal clothes, again. She sighed at the thought, hopeful that the moon would rise soon, then she could get out of this thing and into the 'dress' she'd chosen for the ceremony.<br><br>After shaking her hair out a bit to give it some lift, she looked up and smiled as she noticed Vincent step back into the room and move to get dinner to the table. "Oh my... why thank you." she murmured softly, blushing very lightly as she sat down in the chair he offered. Such things were far from common in her life, but appreciated none the less.

				He seated her as best he could though it was a bit awkward since he was not used to such pleasentries or even a dinner around a table for that matter. When she was seated he walked around past the head of the table and sat across from her as a sign of them being equals, at least in a human perspective. He took his time dishing things up, taking a healthy portion of all the dishes that had been prepared.<br><br>He sat there fora&nbsp; few moments looking across and at her face, searching for something to say. It was a long pause till his lips finally parted and he squeezed out some words. "Well...lets eat..." Even though he found himself wanting to talk to her about things his mind wandered, going back to that book he had found. Even now he could almost feel the leather and paper in his grasp yet what he really wanted was for those words to be etched into his mind<br><br>From the moment he picked up the fork she could see this was not his enviroment. He tried to exist in it but it was far from something he was used to. Yet after a few moments he looked up smiling "So...what do you think?"

				Her eyes furrowed slightly as Natasha watched the way that Vincent acted once they sat down and had the food dished to their plates. She could see by looking at him that he wasn't really there... he was off in some other world, dreaming of something else.... She was going to say something, try to snap him back to her, but he was one step ahead, and she nodded as he mentioned the food, her fork coming to her hand as she pecked at the food slowly.<br><br>Her eyes became more intense as she watched him, worrying now about whether or not this match was what she had first thought it might be. Would this mate ever really be present with her, or was he destined to be off in his special world at all times? She sighed gently and decided not to worry about it. Things would be as they would, and somehow, they <em>would</em> make this work.<br><br>It wasn't a union for love, not for either of them. It was something she had to keep in mind as she felt her feet grow cold over dinner. This union would be the end of voilent wars between their families, and whether they cared for each other or not, they could surely deal with one another enough to keep the centuries long violence from continuing.<br><br>Her eyes jumped up to his as he spoke, she'd wandered off into her own thoughts it would seem. "It's good." she murmured, about half of her plate finished without her even paying attention.

				He ate though he didnt really enjoy it, food like this was fine for keeping up the facade of humanity but there was nothing as satisfied as the freshly killed bloody raw meat that ones prey could give a wolf. Looking up he watched her for a few moments, his mind still wandering but being held in check. "You look lost in thought. Whats on your mind?" he asked, hoping to break the silence.

				She looked up and shrugged softly. "I'm just concerned..." she didn't want to start the relationship on bad communication. "I'm worried that we will be too different in our... settings... to really find what we want from marriage." she looked back at him, hoping that he wouldn't be offended. "I don't mean it to be rude... I just hope that this can be more than an arrangement to stop the war."<br><br>Sighing gently she continue with the meal, pondering over it, though less intensely. "I want to truly care, rather than keep up appearances... but if we don't see each other, or cannot be ourselves, I worry that that cannot happen."

				He played with a piece of meat for a moment as he thought about what she had said. "We both want that...I'd like to be able to say I love you but I think we both know that we need more time before we could say that. While Im not sure if I could love you or not, I do know that I like you. You're kind of like an enigma for me and I like trying to figure out enigma's, you're also fun to talk to and be around and like I said earlier I think you're cute...Physical attraction, intellectual stimulation, personal enjoyment. All real relationships are formed on those three points of interest so maybe something will spark one of these nights."

				Natasha nodded a little at his first comment. It was far too quick to say anything so serious. She liked him, perhaps was beginning to care about him, but it would take time to say anything like love. She worked on finishing what was on her plate while he spoke. It was true they had discovered the main base points of a relationship, but they seemed to belong in different worlds. Her place was here in the world of the living, fighting to keep others from crossing into his world, the world of souls. She nodded when he'd finished talking, taking a sip of her wine before looking up. "I suppose you're right, it's just... a lot to think about." she smiled a little. "I would imagine most people feel this way before such commitment, though."

				"Im sure they do." he commented as he worked on the meal in front of him. "I know I've said that I could teach you everything you would want to know about the spirit world...maybe you could teach me how to fight better? Usually my kills are made from a single precise attack launched from a hidden position but it might be nice to learn your focus as well. It would give us something else to focus on too."<br><br>Smiling he reached over and poured himself a glass of wine, drinking it slowly to savor the taste. "Its only a few hours till our families show up...we should probably get ready. I still have some things to do to prepare...does your family have traditions for marriage? Like what they should or shouldnt wear?"

				Natasha nodded and smiled a little more meaningfully as he spoke again of helping each other to understand the other's life more. That sounded rather pleasant to her, actually, she wouldn't mind having something to do with him, something to bring them closer together. It wouldn't be a bad thing, she just had to get over the jitters.<br><br>She gave a nod as they finished up with dinner, leaving her wine to sip as she went. She cleared the table and put the dishes away, sighing softly as she picked up her glass and pondered, sipping it. "I do believe as long as you are dressed nicely, it should be fine." she smiled a little. "Anything I should know?" It wasn't really as if she could change her dress at the last moment, but she would do her best to respect any traditions of the other clan. She would leave it to her parents to say if there was anything they wanted of them, since really she hadn't a clue.

				He helped her put things away and put the leftovers away himself, though he didn't think he would be eating them anytime soon. Her questions made him frown a bit as he thought about their traditions. "Like the spirit world, our family is all about symbology. A normal wedding for us will have the pair standing beneath Luna in our hybrid form, naked as the day we were born. That symbolizes that by revealing our bodies to our mate we reveal all our secrets to our only true equal and to those that we share blood with. Once the pair meets they pledge themselves to each other in their own way, usually its a howl of emotion but Ive seen weddings with songs sung, poems spoken, and gifts given...I think my pledge will be a combination of words and a gift. Anyway, once the pair is acknowledged by each family they run off into the night to be with each other till the sun rises. Those few hours are a time to truly be what we are, to let ourselves go and to let instinct take over. The pair might hunt, run together, mate, or do a number of things but when the sun rises and they return home together they are mated till death comes for them. At least thats the tradition. In my case, I'll be wearing an old gray hooded cloak which is my most prized trophy...I think I can convince everyone to let me wear a nice suit and stay in my human form though. "<br><br>

				She nodded as he spoke of the tradition held in his own family. By her own pack's tradition it was generally the ceremony chosen by the groom's family that would be held. It sounded nice, she would admit. "Don't worry about it." she murmured, shaking her head a little. "My parents try to fit in so well with the humans that they forget what we really are." she chuckled a little, looking up at him. She didn't want to leave, even if it was to get ready. "Your tradition sounds just fine." she murmured, nodding her head toward him before thinking about how she would make it work.<br><br>"The only problem is I don't think I have anything appropriate to wear." she shook her head a bit. "My parents, they wouldn't let me pack a bag, of course. They wanted to bring it with them tonight, thinking they know my necessities." She was obviously not a person to accept authority well, at least by the way she spoke of her parents and their attempts to make rule in her life. <br><br>She sighed a bit, wanting the comfort of his arms again, but knowing that she needed to go and get herself ready for what would be the most important night in the history of her family. Natasha gave a gentle sigh as she noticed everything had been finished in the kitchen. She topped up her glass before making her way toward the stairs where they would head their separate ways.

				"I'll see you soon." he told her as she walked up the stairs. He didnt want to turn away, he wanted to stay and talk more. To comfort her and be comforted but they didnt have the time for that now. They only had a few hours left and he might not have had the time to make all the preperations as it was. <br><br>He retreated to his room where his few posessions were neatly laid out and he undressed, showered, and when he had cleaned himself to the point of being immaculate in his appearance he shifted forms to that of his wolf form. To many it was the thing of nightmares that would make the instinct side of all creatures flee in a panic. He sat and took out a small container and inside it was a small bit of white paste that he dipped a single claw into. Alone he painted his family symbol on his right shoulder, leaving a ghostly trail of white lines over his raven black fur till it formed a full tribal symbol, one that had been used in his family for centuries. <br><br>Almost two hours later he had finished the intricate design and there was only his clothing now. He walked over to the walk in closet and moved the garments to the side. In the back there was a gray cloak that hung there, seeming to flow over its own power as if it blew in the wind. Reaching forward he undid the seal around it and threw it over his shoulders, letting it flow down his body as a trophy was supposed to. "Its time old friend. We both have another person joining our lives tonight." he said as he tied the string around his neck. <br><br>With his preperations completed he looked at himself within the mirror and even though he seemed small for a werewolf he was handsome for a man and beautiful for a wolf. Almost any female would have been glad to have him as their mate. Then he heard it, a loud howl that carried throughout the night. It was the signal to let him know his family had arrived and were waiting for them. <br><br>Almost reluctantly he shut the doors to the closet and walked downstairs and outside, to see two dozen animalistic eyes staring at him as he exited the back door. Some like him were in the hybrid form, others the form of the wolf, and even a few in human form, dressed in little beyond their tribal vestments. He stood there and bowed low "Thank you all for coming to witness my marriage." he said softly. As he rose they all seemed to swarm around him, some offering congratulations, others offering words of advice, and still others simply taking in his scent.

				She nodded, heading up to the room that she'd found to call theirs. She wondered if her parents had managed to have her things brought over yet and was thankful to find a bag with a note on it. She read the note of how they would arrive in the originally planned outfitting, but they would change if needed to conform. A breath of relief left her lips as she opened the bag they'd brought, hoping that her own very special cloak would be held within.<br><br>After rooting through the entire bag, she was rather relieved to find the black length of powerful fabric that had been with her since she accepted her place at the top of the warriors of the pack. It had been passed on through their leaders for centuries, and it was by far, like his, her most prized possession. <br><br>It was very customary in a wolf wedding for each to wear their family crest and symbol, she knew that much, and was glad to see the powder she was looking for within one of the pockets of her bag. Once she was sure she had everything she needed, it was off to the shower for Natasha as well. She wouldn't be heard from for some time after as she moved back to the room, drying herself before shifting forms and similar to Vincent, beginning to draw the symbols of her family in a pure black powder upon her snow white fur. Once she'd finished with her symbols, she clasped a chain around her neck, a gift from her father for her marriage.<br><br>The black cloak, standing out violently against her white fur, was the last piece to go on. She tied the hood once she'd lifted it, just in time to hear the howling and rustle of commotion outside in the backyard. It was with shaky nerves that she would check herself one last time before picking up the gift that she had brought for Vincent, tucking it into an inner pocket of her cloak. She made her way down the stairs shortly after, giving a sigh as she tried to calm herself from her heightened state. Slowly, she made her way to the front of the house, where her family would be waiting.<br><br>And sure enough they were all there. She was relieved to see they had all taken forms more appropriate after noticing the way the others had come. After exchanges of congratulations and affection from her close family, she watched them make their way to the back yard to join the crowd, signaling to them that she was ready. She waited beside her father for things to begin. Though the ceremony was different than originally planned, he still wanted to give her away.

				Vincent and the man she had met earlier approached the alter that had been set up for them. It was simplistic yet elegant, carved from stone to create a true work of art. Together the two created a circle made of salt around it and together summoned a spirit together that presided within the circle. Visible to all. <br><br>Then they approached the other family, trying to seem peaceful though as Vincent moved closer he could hear an unhappy growl or two which concerned him. The older gentleman was an veteran with scars all over his body even in his hybrid form, perhaps as many as the veterans of her own family. "We have summoned the spirit witness for the union. There is no rush but the ceremony can begin as soon as you are ready."<br><br>Vincent stood there, his nerves frayed and his whole body betrayed the feeling of his mind. In the back of his mind something told him to bolt, to run for the hills as fast as he could and never stop. However the logical and stronger side of his mind forced him to stay no matter what his instincts told him. "What happens next is we approach the alter, your father can go through the tradition of giving you away and once the spirit has recognized that we make our pledges to each other. The pledge can be as long or short as you want it to be and it can take any form you like...once the spirit has recognized them both the ceremony is more or less over. You and I will have the rest of the night alone together."

				Natasha walked with her parents to the back of the house where Vincent and the other were setting up the altar. She smiled at him best she could, shivering a little, her nerves running high as he began stepping toward them. Her anger flared as the growls rose, and she turned, barking violently at those who would dare to ruin this moment for her. Silence followed her demand of respect, and she sighed, shaking between nerves and now anger.<br><br>She reached out a hand to rest it on Vincent's arm, squeezing gently, reassuring him. She could feel the way he was thinking, and her thoughts were not unlike his. "It will be alright." she whispered very softly to him, then letting him talk to her and her father about the ceremony itself. She pulled back, listening quietly to his words.<br><br>Both herself and her father gave a nod as he finished speaking. It was understood the way things would happen. She gave him time to go back to the altar before stepping up with her father. He gave Vincent some words, she didn't try to overhear them. And then he moved his hand from hers, offering it to Vincent. She smiled between the two, trying not to let any tears fall. It was an emotional even, if nothing else.<br><br>She smiled as she laid her hands in Vincent's, waiting for the acknowledgement of the spirit. Once it had given it's signal, apparently the rather inspirational howl that left it's lips, she stepped closer, reaching into her cloak. She pulled the gift that she had chosen from her pocket, unwrapping it from the black silk to reveal a very ornately decorated dagger. It had been her first prize after taking her position in lead of her pack's warriors. It was a very meaningful piece to her, and she hoped that Vincent would accept.<br><br>Clearing her throat slightly as she offered the item to him, she looked up, speaking quietly. This was for them, the others were just witness. "To many years of health and happiness. I hope that we find love within each other's arms, and that we may be the end to the wars of our families."

				He follwed the lead of her and her father, taking her hand and holding it tightly, yet still nervously, as he listened to her speak. When she offered the dagger he took it in his other hand, looking over the the item in detail before his eyes looked back at her and he nodded slowly in acceptance, placing it back in the box for her. <br><br>When it was his turn he reached up to pull the thin leather apart, letting the bow that held it around his neck and shoulders come loose so he could pull the cloak around till it was cradled in both arms. He kneeled down, lifting his arms up in offering yet his gaze was toward the floor as he spoke. "Two years ago a spirit began to plague our city, our territory. I tore this very cloak from his skin and bound the rest of him inside it. It is my most important trophy, as well as a valuable tool that will make you virtually immune to disease. With this gift I pledge myself to you as your mate. Whatever may come I will be with you. When we hunt I will run beside you, when we face danger my claws will rend our enemies, when you bleed I will tend your wounds. I offer myself to you, wholeheartedly and without pause, to be everything that you need in a mate and more."<br><br>As he finished his pledge he looked up into her eyes, almost crying himself at how emotional this pledge was for him. To stop being a reclusive shaman and to truly be a mate, not because of duty or expectations, but because of a true desire to have an equal near him to share in his victories and defeats was the most emotional moment in his life. "Will you accept me?"

				Natasha listened to his story quietly, eventually unable to hold back the tears from rolling down her cheeks. Her hand reached down as he looked up at her, gently caressing the side of his face. "Of course I will." she whispered, accepting him and the gift that he offered. She dried the tears from her eyes on the back of her furred hand, turning to give her family a smile before they would disappear into the night. <br><br>Before going anywhere though, she leaned into his neck, taking a long breath to draw in his comforting scent. "We should put these things inside and be off?" she asked, unsure of his tradition. There didn't seem to be any complaint, so with her hand in his they walked to the back door of the house, setting the items down on the kitchen table and leaving the house again. Natasha trusted that her parents, or his, would take care of ensuring the house was safe before they left.<br><br>With that she turned back toward the doors, slipping down and walking with him past their grouped families, now meant to be one large clan, to be ruled by them in the end. As they reached the end of the small group, she shifted to all fours, taking her full wolf form and howling loudly as she took off at full speed, her white form sticking out in the light of the full moon. She ran, she wasn't sure for how long, but after a time she found herself climbing up a hill to a tree that looked just perfect to settle herself under.<br><br>Panting gently for breath, she moved up to the tree, laying down and curling herself under it, waiting for her mate to follow along. They could decide what they would do with the night after he joined her.

				Her acceptance of him was the most wonderful words he had ever heard. If it were possible he felt even more emotional about their marriage and the ceremony. Looking over, he saw the spirit nod slowly and then as it was dictated he disappeared, reentering the other world to spread news of their union.<br><br>Vincent entered their home and placed her gift, not in its box or anything like that but made a sheath for it within a few moments from a mix of old leather and string that he had put away long ago. The sheath wasnt pretty but it was functional which was more important for the moment. Later on he would consider binding a spirit into it to keep the weapon sharp and ready to use. Eventually he hung it up above his, or rather their bed, as a sign to anyone that even when they slept they were protected. <br><br>When everything was prepared the old werewolf that Natasha had met earlier came forward, patting him on the shoulder. "As I mentioned, this house is now yours. You and your mate are the masters of it to decide how its used and for who but remember your family too, both of them. If they come to rest, heal, or seek guidance, try to help them."<br><br>Vincent nodded then "Yes grandfather, I dont even intend to turn away our blood if I can help them."<br><br>"Good boy, now go and join your mate." he replied.<br><br>Still feeling emotional he lept forward transforming from the nightmarish hybrid form to the four legged wolf form. He was only a few dozen yards behind her but he ran as fast as he could, trying to catch up with her. Still it was not till she arrived at the tree till he could catch her, it seemed that running was not his strong point but as he arrived he looked up to the moon and howled loudly before moving to lay beside her.

				Natasha gave a wolfish laugh as he joined her, though she shuffled closer, resting her head over his shoulder gently. She wasn't quite sure what she wanted to do with the night, but she was quite open to discussion on that topic. She was almost purring, it was something of a very soft growl in combination with a whine, but it sounded right in the end. Closing her eyes she nipped at his neck and settled herself against him.<br><br>"Is there anything that you'd like to do with the night?" she asked quietly, nudging her nose into his neck gently.<br><br>"I haven't any specific request yet, so if you do..."<br><br>She closed her eyes, giving a soft and content sigh as she yawned, letting her body form against his, stealing and sharing the warmth of his body. It was almost too comfortable to just lay here with him under the stars, enjoying the way his body would keep hers warm. At the same time she almost wished that they could get acquainted with their new home, but any time spent with him was what they needed right now. They needed to know each other, to love each other, to be one with the other, and this was the best way to start.

				He looked up toward the sky, paying attention to the stars in the sky instead of the moon and he nuzzled against her, not minding the nip at all. He breathed deeply, smelling her again, taking in that wonderful scent once again. It was a scent he wanted to learn, to be able to pick out amoungst a billion other scents around him.<br><br>As he laied there his eyes closed till they were only slits and he enjoyed being next to her, feeling her warm body beside him. "We've hunted and we've mated...in both instances I enjoyed being with you...but now, even though human tradition would say we mate till the sun rises, I just want to talk...about anything...about everything...I want to enjoy talking like I enjoyed hunting with you. We are mated now after all, I want to learn to love you and I want you to learn to love me for all my strengths and weaknesses."

				Natasha pushes her nose against his neck, taking in deep breaths of his scent. She was doing exactly as he wished to do, committing his scent to memory. It was easy enough for her, since she was always tracking one being or another. All she had to do with this one was to ensure it wouldn't leave her memory after a time like most did. Though that likely wouldn't be too much of a problem since they would be living in the same home. <br><br>She gave a nod as he finished speaking. "That sounds like a very nice idea." she murmured, laying down on her side on the soft grass. She wished it were warmer, but he made a good space heater.&nbsp; Giving a slight yawn, she laid her head down and closed her eyes, pondering over what she should say, if anything, or should she wait for him to bring up the topic of his choice? She decided quiet was nice for the moment, just enjoying each other's presence.

				He laid there next to her for a little while, just looking up at the stars and the moon. She was quiet though, as usual, but that may have been one of her charms. Silence could say so many things. After a few more moments he looked over at her, smelling her again as he thought of a question. "What kind of bands do you like?" he asked softly. <br><br>It wasnt till after he asked it that he wondered why that question of all things. Could he have asked something more meaningful? Something more philosophical? Something more intellectual? Then he realized, it didnt matter what the question was. Nor what the answer was. The only thing that mattered was that they were talking, sharing, and being with each other.

				She pondered his question for a moment. "Honestly, I like almost all music. I hardly come across something I don't like." she gave a bit of a push of her nose to some different spots on his neck, no particularly reason aside from her playfulness escaping. "What about yourself?" she asked after a moment, letting her nose come to rest in the scruff of his neck as she shifted her position to be comfortable.<br><br>She thought about the question for a moment, and it didn't really matter why he had asked the question he had, to her. Eventually, all would be found out. It didn't particularly matter how big or small the first thing was. Though she too did now have questions about why he hadn't asked something more meaningful. It didn't matter though, they were with each other and in time they would know everything they could think of and more.

				He let out what seemed like a chuckle as she brushed against his neck and looked back. "That tickles." he said softly. As he laid next to her staring into her eyes he leaned forward and let their muzzles brush against one another as if to kiss her. Though the form of the wolf prevented such an act, it was still an intimate moment. <br><br>He laid back down against her as a cool breeze blew by and crickets began to sing. Thinking about the question and how to answer it before speaking again. "I dont listen to much music...I like classic rock and some pop here and there. The only kind of music I dont really care for is rap. I mean how hard is rhyming your way through a song? Seems like a talentless form of expression to me...Your turn, ask me something, anything." <br><br>

				She laughed, well more of a bark, as he mentioned she was tickling him. "Sorry." she murmured, still trying to hold herself back from laughing. Her eyes closed slowly as she felt his muzzle press against her own. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, rubbing gently back against him. She hadn't been expecting it, but her body had reacted for her, and it was a rather pleasant reaction she could admit.<br><br>Natasha sighed happily as she curled back up against Vincent and pondered her own question for a few moments. "Do you want children?" she asked after a few moments. She wanted it to be something that wasn't so easily answered with yes or no, something to spark a bit of discussion, at minimum. She smiled and tilted her head just a little as she waited.

				"I dont know..." he replied as he rolled over onto his back, looking up at the stars and her. "There are times I think having a boy or girl would be interesting. It would be nice, imparting everything Ive learned to someone I helped make. I also have doubts though, I know that Im lost in my own world a lot, gone for days at a time in the other world, and endlessly seeking answers to unanswerable questions. I have to wonder, would I make a good father like that? Im not sure...Grandfather was clear though, I have to have children eventually. Whether I want them or not doesnt matter."<br><br>Looking over at her he smiled warmly "At least I can be sure that I'll be happy having them with you. If they take after you I know they'll be beautiful and strong, yet still have my cunning and intelligence...yeah I like the idea of children that take after you, espcially if they have a bit of me in them too. What about you, do you want them?"

				She rolled along with him, but decided that she wasn't particularly fond of having her belly cold. Setting herself right she laid her head over his stomach and yawned quietly, her ears twitching as he spoke. She nodded along with a lot of his concerns, in some ways, they were very similar to each other. She pondered over the idea herself and rolled her shoulders a bit. "I'm neutral on the idea, I have reasons to go either way on the idea. Similar to yourself, I spend long amounts of time away when it is required... since all of the clan's battle decisions are left up to me, when we do have troubles with other packs, it can mean I am away for much longer than I like to be."<br><br>She gave another little shrug. "I suppose either way it doesn't matter, you're right on that. We just have to make the best of it, at least if we can." she murred quietly and closed her eyes, her head moving to let her cheek and muzzle lay across his body, her nose touching just under his neck.

				He looked up toward her and smiled as he listened to her talk. They were so close in their thoughts it was almost frightening or was everyone like that? Questioning whether or not they would be a good parent as well as whether or not they could really be there for their children. He noticed her yawns too and silently wondered if she was just making conversation so she wouldnt fall asleep, or was it because she didnt yet trust him enough to watch over her while she slept? His eyes trailed from her up to Luna marveling at their ancient mother and how her light blanketed the land and pushed away the darkness. <br><br>"Luna's bright tonight. Casting shadows of us even when there should be darkness. I think she approves of our marriage." He leaned up brushing his nose against her again as he rolled over, taking a moment to stretch as he stood. Looking back skyward he seemed to smile again as he thought about how she seemed tired. "I think I would rather talk about all this in a warm bed...well that and after a hot shower. Tradition says that we must spend the entire night together but it doesnt say anything about returning to our den or home. Do you want to go back?"

				Natasha simply didn't want to go to sleep yet, but out in the air under the stars she always found herself getting tired earlier than she wished. It was nothing of Vincent's fault on either of his thoughts, she simply didn't want to fall asleep on him quite yet. It had been a long couple of days though, and she supposed it was catching up. They would likely want a nice relaxing day or two after all of the stress the days before the wedding had brought. She doubted that his family had made it any easier on him than her own had on her. It had been a painful preparation as well, perhaps a nice relaxing lay in bed was exactly what they needed.<br><br>"It seems that she does." Natasha smiled in response to his words about Luna's energy tonight. "But I believe I agree that we both might enjoy ourselves more after cleaning up and getting comfortable." She stood up and stretched, leaning forward and back before pawing her way up the tree, stretching her back out. She stepped up beside him and nodded her head in the direction of the house. "Shall we take our time going back or would you like to make a race of it again?" she chuckled, pressing her nose against his muzzle loingly.

				His nose pressed back lovingly as if he were kissing her in the form of a wolf. The little moments of affection he showed seemed to be good signs for the both of them, being loved and loving her. He put his front paws forwards and stretched again from the back and then moving his body forward to stretch the muscles in the other side. "Lets go back together. Its not like we're pressed for time. In fact we have all night if we want it." he said. <br><br>He took a few steps forward before darting off, knowing she would be right behind him. He was running, though not sprinting like the last time. Still it would get his heart pumping again and allowing him to get much warmer in the process. He jumped over several fences on his way back, giving her time to catch up and to give himself a better work out. Yet as he jumped the last one a flock of crows burst into the air and he could not stop himself from leaping upon one, jaws open, and making a killing blow on the poor bird. With a meal earned and a hunt taken in one split second of instinct he took a bite out it and waited, thinking he would share it with her if she liked.

				Natasha waited a moment or two, giving him a chance to get ahead, at least slightly. She gave a laugh as she took off behind him, catching up fairly quickly but staying in pace with him instead of trying to get ahead, there was no need to rush. Just as he’d said, they had all night. And besides, she wanted to spend time with him. She watched as he took to one of the night black birds that had lifted into the air, admiring his inability to control the instinct. It was almost an amusing process for her to watch. She stepped up beside him after she was sure that instinct had calmed, laughing a little as she continued along toward the house, not particularly interested in the meal. She preferred larger prey, or perhaps she was just picky about what types of animals she would eat, no matter her form.<br><br>She pressed on toward the warmth of the house that they would now officially call their home, finding the scents and views becoming more familiar as they got closer and closer to their own yard. She slowed a bit as she found the property line, debating between changing forms or waiting until they had a chance to get into the house. It seemed a bit cold to wander outside with no fur and no clothing, so she paused to nose the sliding back door open before stepping inside and sitting down to wait for him to join her in the house.

				He grabbed the bird and brought it with him, figuring he could put it away for another time in case he got hungry. His paws pressed against the dirt and his legs propeled him forward with speed and control, he moved quickly and with fluid grace. He stopped at the door and set the bird down before stepping inside and shifting into his human form, just out of the view of any passer by's. His black fur and bones changed till he was in his fully human form again. He stood up and stretched a bit and a few pops of his bones echoed in the night as they put themselves back in place. "Mmmm, that was a nice little run." he said softly before he grabbed the pants he had laid out by the door. He slipped them on and fastened them before stretching again <br><br>"Im gonna grab something to put that bird in..." he said, not waiting for a word from here before he wandered into the kitchen and came out with a huge ziplock bag that it would fit in. Once he took care of it he tossed it into the freezer and came back out, grabbing the white button up shirt he had laid out and began to put it on as he looked back at her and smiled. "That was fun. Did you enjoy yourself too?" he asked, hoping that she did.

				She watched from her furred form as he changed back, sitting up slightly before letting her own body follow in the change of structure and skin. She stretched roughly after she'd shifted, popping her joints back into place before cracking her neck loudly. Feeling most of her bones settle into their places she yawned and stepped into the clothes she had left for herself before going to wait patiently by the stairs for him to deal with the mess of a meal that he'd brought home. Her mouth twisted slightly as she thought that the freezer would likely soon fill with partial meals, but that was likely to be expected from a lycan.<br><br>She nodded a little once he was in range. "I did enjoy myself, of course." she smiled, a slight twinkle in her eye as she led the way to the stairs and then up them. The poor boy behind her had no idea of what he'd just tied the knot with. She smirked slightly as she made her way to the bathroom, expecting that he would likely follow as she slipped out of her clothing and let it settle wherever it would on the floor. She turned the water on and let it run as she turned to check if he had indeed followed or if she would be bathing alone tonight.

				He followed her without a second thought all the way up to the bedroom. When there he opened one of the windows to let some fresh air in and looked out over the pinpoints of light in the distance. <em>"It's been awhile since I just stopped to look at the scenery."</em> he thought as he leaned forward on the window sill, thinking about the events that had unfolded so far and what was still expected of him, or rather both of them. <br><br>As he heard the water rush through the pipes he was snapped back into reality and looked back, thinking once again as he slipped out of his clothes and let them drop onto the ground wherever they happen to fall. He stepped into the bathroom but as he saw her nude form he turned his back, partly to hide his innocent human side and partly to give her some privacy, away from his prying eyes. <br><br>"Um, Natasha?" he began, his voice soft and yet unsure. <em>"She's your mate now Vincent, tell her what you really want and how you really feel."</em> he told himself. His lips parted once again and his head turned just far enough that he could see how pathetic and indecisive he looked in the mirror. "I want...to join you. If that's alright..." he finally said, somewhat more assertive and assured in this tone of voice yet there was still underlying doubt in his voice till a gentle sigh escaped his lips. "What am I saying...I want more then that. I want to hold you and to be held by you. To kiss you, to make your mind, skin, and soul burn for me. I want to make you feel like you're loved especially tonight and for as long as were together."

				((Sorry about the wait, I'm taking things off hold now, so it should speed up.))<br><br>She gave a bit of a smile as he followed her into the bathroom, her body exposed, the cold air leaving goosebumps on her flesh as she waited for the water to warm up to temperature. She turned around as he finally spoke, one hand lifting to rest on her hip. She let him finish, a soft smile appearing on her lips as she heard the sweet words that came from his mouth. "Turn around, Vincent." she murmured gently, at the same time taking a step toward him. "You don't have to be shy... my body is yours to look at." she sighed gently as she took another step, standing right behind him now. Natasha smiled a bit to herself as she leaned down, her lips touching the back of his neck gently, trailing a row of kisses up to his earlobe before tracing them back down.<br><br>Teeth nipped gently at the soft skin on the back of his neck, teasing him playfully as she reached around his body, letting her hands trail down from his stomach, her fingertips teasing the soft hair above his nethers. She kissed his cheek softly before letting her hands slip away from his body, her back turning to him as she slipped back to the shower, the water warmed up by now.<br><br>She stepped in, watching him through the clear shower curtain to see if he would turn around and do as he had wanted, or if he would stand in shock. She purred quietly as the hot water rolled over her body, warming her through from the chill of the wind outside. She closed her eyes, let her head fall under the streams of water and used her hands to help the water work into every strand of her deep red hair.

				(Its alright, you're well worth the wait)<br><br>As he felt her hands cover his stomache he reached down, setting them on her wrists for a moment as he took in a deep breath. He stood there for a moment about to say something else when she pulled away and stepped into the shower. He followed her inside, setting on her thighs as he stepped up to her, placing his chest firmly against her back. His arms then moved forward, around her stomach and he layed his head on her shoulder. "Thank you." he said softly as he held her close and smelled her. For once he felt like he belonged with someone else rather then on the fringes of social groups <br><br>He placed one kiss on the side of her neck and then reached past her, picking up a bar of soap from the rack as the water covered both of them. He lathered up his hands first and then let them flow over his body, covering it in a mix of soap bubbles and water that fell down the length of his body and into the drain beneath them. <br><br>Still he had to keep reminding himself that he was no longer alone in the world. She was part of his world now and it left an odd feeling in his mind yet his heart welcomed her. Loneliness had been something he knew very well and adapted to but it was not his choice to be alone so much of the time and now it seemed like she had freed him from those shackles.

				Natasha smiled as he slipped in behind her and wrapped his arms around her. She sighed happily and leaned back against his chest, letting the water run over their bodies for a few moments before she began to pull herself away. She shivered as at the last moment his lips touched her neck, raising a line of goosebumps down her back. "You don't have to thank me, Vincent." she whispered, turning to him once he had taken the soap. "You can join me in anything, whenever you like. That is what union is about, wouldn't you think?" she smiled, taking the bath lily she'd brought from its hanger on the wall and lathering it with her raspberry scented bodywash.<br><br>She let him tend to himself as she did the same, drawing the crimson colored bath lily all over her skin, ensuring to clean the paint off especially well. Though she had painted her fur, it remained when she turned forms, as most dirt and other whatnots would. The one thing she was always thankful for though was that burrs wouldn't stick to skin like they would to fur. <br><br>As she rinsed the soap from her skin Natasha watched Vincent curiously, wondering how he would react to see her this way... naked and dripping with soap and beads of water. Once she'd finished with rinsing she found her shampoo and began lathering her hair, leaving her nude body exposed to whatever Vincent might try.

				He stood there, letting his hands mix with the water and soap, meticulously cleaning every inch of his body till his skin smelled like fresh cut strawberries mixed with his natural scent. When that was finally done he stepped back into the shower nozzle and let every last sud wash away and drain down into the plug hole at their feet. He then did the same for his hair with a similar shampoo and took just as much time before he seemed to be finished with the entire process and stood in front of her as clean as one could possibly be. <br><br>He let out a soft sight as he turned around and looked at her, this time taking in every inch of her form rather then the quick yet shy glances he gave her earlier. <em>"Share in everything..."</em> he told himself as he took a few steps toward her, placing his hands on her hips while he stared into her eyes and smiled warmly. She could see the shy and inexperienced side of him reveal itself as he looked away from her eyes for just a moment but even so his lips parted as he forced out an intimate question, something he desired deeply. "Natasha...could I kiss you?" was all he said. In his heart he doubted the need to ask her yet it felt right to him.

				Natasha laughed softly as she righted herself, clean and drenched standing in front of him, hearing his words. "You don't have to ask..." she whispered, a little <em>yet</em> ringing in her head as she smiled innocently. Her body shifted a bit closer, she would make it simpler for him for the time being. It was kind of cute, she had to admit, the way he was so shy... it was almost like he was inviting her dominant side out. He really was just begging her to take control, and it was getting very tempting to do just that. But still, she didn't want to scare him away, he needed to get settled in before she even thought about doing something that might make him reconsider.<br><br>Even with her instinctual desire to take the Alpha spot in the home, she knew that the general marriage was more important that her desires. Truce between clans, creating a larger family, these were good things. Things that would help in the battles to come... she, as a warrior, knew that there would never be a day that she could relax and know another battle would not come. The wolves would never be at peace. Not amongst themselves, and not so long as leeches walked the earth with them.

				"I guess...it just feels right to ask. To me at least." he answered while staring into her eyes. His hands slowly slid behind her back as he took a step forward, letting their chests touch one another as he moved closer. His arms cradled her and pulled her into him as if he was hugging her and then his lips pressed softly against hers. As they kissed he held her tightly as if needing to feel her so close against his skin that there was nothing between them, not even the air. This kiss was soft, sweet, and filled with emotion and need. It was the kind of kiss that virgin lovers would share before they explored sex and their sexuality and it was most fitting for him, still being so inexperienced and unsure of himself. <br><br>Perhaps a minute passed, perhaps longer, but eventually he withdrew his lips and opened his eyes once again so he could see hers. Even though he didn't say the words she could see appreciation in his eyes and face. "We should get to bed and...spend some time together." he said, once again unsure how to say it. He didn't want to sound overly sexual since he did want to talk more tonight and yet he didn't want her to think he wasn't interested in mating with her again. <br><br>

				It ran through Natasha's head that perhaps Vincent was <em>exactly</em> the type of lap dog she wanted hanging around the house, but still, she wasn't ready to push. She leaned back into his kiss and closed her eyes, letting her body enjoy the real passion tangled in his lips. It hadn't been often before Vincent that Natasha would feel any real emotion from her partners, they were just there to get what they both wanted and get back to what was important. In most cases it was her guards or higher stationed warriors who would end up being victim to her needs... not that anyone had complained before.<br><br>With a soft sigh, she let her head pull back from his at the same time. Her body took a small step back into the heat of the water as he spoke. She gave a nod. "Yes, you're probably right." she murred, enjoying the heat for another moment or two before turning off the water and pulling back the curtain. She stepped out onto the bath mat and picked up her towel, wrapping herself in the warm fuzziness and enjoying it for a moment before beginning to wipe down the wetness from her skin. She came to her hair finally, giving it a good ruffle with the towel before letting it drape messily around her face as she tucked the towel around her body and headed into the main room to find something comfortable to slip on.

				He stepped out of the shower and grabbed one of the towels, scrubbing down his hair first and then wiping down his arms, chest, stomach, and continuously moving lower till most of the dampness had been gathered on the towel. Then he took a minute to brush his teeth as well. The whole process left his body spotless and smelling wonderful. <br><br>He walked into their bedroom and dimmed the lights a bit before he sat down on the bed, picking up an old hand written, leather bound book that had been set on the table next to it. He took a moment to flip through it, stopping to read a few passages to himself as he leaned back into the pillows and blanket so he could relax. He wondered if she would want to stay up for awhile or sleep and then the idea crossed his mind that they had not slept together before and he wondered what she would be like when in his arms and lost in the land of dreams.

				Natasha would find a nice pair of comfortable silk pajamas to settle into, the lavender color complimenting her auburn hair and green eyes. She brushed her hair through before taking over the bathroom once he'd left. After getting herself all ready for bed, she would slip back into the room and climb into their bed, yawning softly as she laid her head down on the pillow.<br><br>"It's been a long couple of days... I'm glad tomorrow we can finally just relax and try to be ourselves." she whispered softly, her eyes already beginning to close on her as she peeked over at him. "I'm sorry, I'm not very interesting when I'm sleepy Vincent." She gave a soft yawn, covering her mouth with her arm as she turned onto her side, her hands curling up under her cheek. "I'd love to stay up and talk and just spend time with you, but I'm afraid if I try I will only end up falling asleep in the middle of a conversation." She leaned over and kissed his cheek softly as she nestled in closer. "Goodnight Vincent, sleep well."

				He looked over at her and nodded slowly before laying down beside her and letting his hand slip over her stomach as he moved just a bit closer to her. "Its alright. We have all day and night to be ourselves tommorrow. You will spend most of the day with me right?" he asked, thought he was sure the answer would be yes. A swift meeting, a meaningful wedding, and now they faced bringing the clans together. It had been a long couple of days and he felt the weariness in him building as well. He didnt really wait for an answer as he closed his eyes and snuggled up with her, taking in her scent as he laid there. <br><br>As he laid there he listened to the sound of the wind blowing just outside and relaxed as he relized it was the beginning of the storm. One that would rage all day tommorrow or perhaps the next few days. It would be raining constantly, leaving that familiar and comfortable sound of rain drops falling onto the roof.

				Natasha had been drifting off already as she jumped from the touch of his hand on her belly. She was very accustomed now to waking up to small touches and light whispers, as came with the life of war. Taking a breath to calm herself, she listened to the rain begin falling off the roof as she nodded a little. "I have no where to be but here in most cases." she added, starting slightly as she had begun drifting again when the first crash of thunder sounded. She loved the way that a storm like this would help her sleep, at least if she could manage to get herself to a calm sleeping state.<br><br>In the field, thunder, though wonderful for covering up your own sounds... was a great cover for the enemy to get close, and she had often gone to battle in the middle of a storm like this one. But tonight she was home, safe within her home and the arms of her new lover. There was nothing to keep her awake from a peaceful sleep, dreaming of what the future could bring for them. It would not take her long to drift into the world of the sandman, comfortably warm within the blankets and the embrace of her husband.

				"Goodnight Natasha." was all he said before he closed his eyes and slowly drifted off into the land of dreams as well. He would dream of traveling the shadow with her at his side, his mate and partner in everything as he hunted down spirits and even darker entities. They were wonderful and terrifying dreams that made him wimper and move suddenly at times, and yet offer him complete peace in others. Yet for the whole night he would sleep soundly with her nearby. <br><br>When morning came the dim rays of light that could break the overcast sky and let a few brush against their faces. The cloud cover was thick and the sound of rain could be heard but thunder had long since faded into the night. Vincent continued to sleep soundly though, holding her close the whole time.

				By the time he said goodnight, she had already drifted to the land of nod and was happily dreaming of returning to the spirit world that he had taken her to earlier that day. It was a fantastical world to her, something of a dream - and now she was dreaming of it. The dream of the other plane was so vivid that she could smell the delicious aroma of the pink flower she had discovered the day before. Morning would come too soon with the warmth of his arms and the pleasantries of her dreams to keep her held in sleep's embrace.<br><br>Though eventually, she would be forced to open her eyes. The sun was high in the sky now, signaling that they had slept in. She smiled to herself as she realized where she was, and whose arms were holding her. As she nuzzled against his neck happily, she yawned, debating if she should drift back to sleep or start her day.

				After a little while longer he stired and his eyes opened slowly. His fingers running along her smooth flesh for a moment before they moved lower and away from her, to his crotch. As if subconciously his fingers ran over the hardened flesh that had developed each morning since he was thirteen or so. Then his eyes snapped open as he caught her scent and realized that he wasnt alone. He breathed a sigh of relief that he had realized that before the situation became awkward again. <br><br>He yawned before placing a single kiss on her shoulder before rolling over to his back. "Are you awake?" he asked softly, not wanting to wake her if she wasnt. He layed there for a moment, staring up at the ceiling for a moment before he slipped out of bed and headed to the bathroom so he could relieve himself.

				Natasha was quiet as he stirred, her back to him so he couldn't see the little smirk that lifted on her lips as she felt his hand move. She turned slightly to face him as he spoke and nodded, smiling a little as she watched him slip away. "Come back here." she grumbled, the twinkle in her eyes the only give-away to her thoughts.<br><br>She turned onto her back, lifting her head slightly to watch him, to see if he would come back or not. There were plenty of excuses she could see him using to get the few moments in the washroom he needed, but she was prepared for that. The wedding was over now, and she had no reason to hide herself anymore. Though she wasn't sure how it would work out, she would surely make the attempt now to assert herself as the true Alpha of the pair, and the clan.

				He was only a single step inside the bathroom when he heard her voice, muffled as it was. Still he stopped and poked his head out of the doorway to look toward her direction. As he looked over her he couldn't help but think how lucky he was to have such a beautiful wolf in his life, let alone his bed. He offered her a smile as he came back into the room and sat down on her side of the bed, reaching over to let his hand set on her thigh as he looked into her eyes. <br><br>"Something wrong?" he asked softly. He noticed that something seemed different about her yet he was far to innocent and inexperienced with women to notice that side of her. He could recognize the predator in her but then he saw that in all werewolves, they were predators without equal and their prey was everyone, even at times each other.

				Natasha watched him pause in the doorway, a little smirk settling on her lips as she watched him make his way back to her. She slid her hands up his arms as he sat down beside her, her cheek pressing against his bicep gently. As she nuzzled her cheek against his arm and smiled innocently up at him, she wondered to herself if he really had no idea why she had called him back from his adventure in the washroom.<br><br>She chuckled softly as he spoke, questioning why she had called him back. "Not quite. But what do you think you're off to do?" she smiled mischievously as she tilted her head slightly, raising an eyebrow as she waited for his answer. The twinkle in her eye might give away that she knew exactly where he was going, and what he was doing, and that she'd have none of that.

				He smiled and leaned closer to press his lips against her forehead in a moment of sweet bliss between them. He wasnt surprised about her questions, after all they had only spent one morning together so far and even then he skipped the routine to spend time with her. It seemed only natural for their unique situation. "I was just going to pee and then go through my morning routine. A hot shower, a quick run, and then I would see about making some breakfast...I guess I should ask, do you prefer eggs and sausage or something more traditional...like pancakes with syrup?"

				She sighed a little as explained, pondering the actual truth of that routine and what he was forgetting to include. Closing her eyes though, she was still much to sleepy to mind what he was off to do for the next little while. "Mm... pancakes..." she whispered quietly, her eyes drifting closed as she thought about the sweet treat that somehow made a good breakfast. Before she realized what exactly was happening, she had drifted back into the dream world from the night before, her nose sniffing for the recognizable flower as she had somehow lost her way in the strange world.

				As she went off to sleep he made his way into the bathroom and took his time cleaning up before he came back intot he bedroom and slipped into a pair of shorts and a sweat shirt. It wasnt long till he left the house and ran down the road. He didn't jog like most people but ran, pushing his body to a greater limit. He came back about ten minutes later, with a smile on his face. His run was enough of a workout to get his body moving and his heart pumping for the days events. <br><br>He let himself back in and went right to the kitchen, picking out various items that he would need to make everything. Perhaps half an hour later the smell of food made its way all over the house, filling each room with a mixture of smells. On the dinning room table there sat two plates full of pancakes with butter and a strawberry on top. In the center was a bowl of chilled strawberries, hot sausage, and fresh baked bread rolls. He only had to prepare their drinks and then see if she was awake and ready to eat.

				It wouldn't be too long after he had set the food on the table that she would appear in the kitchen, comfortable still in her silky pajamas. "Good morning."she smiled, sitting down at what had become her seat at the table and yawning softly. "Smells delicious, and looks like it too." she laughed softly and poured the glasses on the table full of the orange juice that was set out. After setting a glass at each dish, she settled into the chair and waited for him to join her, not wanting to eat while he was still finishing up.<br><br>Once he joined her, she didn't hesitate long to dig into the breakfast, the smell had already been teasing her for some time now, and she was rather hungry by this point. Digging in, she smiled, giving an "Mm" to express that she was too busy enjoying it to compliment him. With a little butter and syrup they were exactly what she'd love to have for breakfast every morning. And on that thought, she pondered how difficult it would be to push him into the role of her personal chef... well, that and anything else she wanted him to be.

				Vincent offered her a warm smile as he poured himself a glass of milk and then joined her at the table, sitting next to her. He collected some of the food and then sat back, but his face told her that this wasnt the kind of meal he liked most. He looked like a man but as a werewolf in true form nothing tasted better then warm, bloody meat that had just been killed in a long and invigorating hunt. He could stomach human food but it just wasnt the same. Still even though his face betrayed his thoughts, his personality didnt. He followed suit, digging in and eating a bit of everything but it was obvious that he left most of it for her. <br><br>His attention was more focused on the morning paper at his side, that he read intensly. Like every morning, he scanned the articles for clues on spirit activity. He wasnt expecting to find much though, large news orginizations and papers couldn't print just anything and so when they came across the supernatural they would pass up any story. Tabloids, "nut jobs" blogs, and other such media were more accurate and less willing to leave out fine details that made no sense to them. Still he had gotten lucky with the papers a few times before and it never hurt to look<br><br>

				Natasha was a little surprised as she noticed the way he didn't seem to enjoy the food he'd made. Her eyebrows crumpled a little as she ate, pondering over it. She supposed that just as she had a distaste for killing things, he might have a taste for it. She supposed that her own dislike probably came from the fact that she was forced to kill other werewolves and animals in her duty to the clan. His life seemed much more peaceful than her own, which she could understand might cause some inner need to hunt to be intensified. In the end though, she was simply hungry and enjoying the meal.<br><br>After she ate a few pancakes to fill herself, she ensured that he was finished before munching on the strawberries just as they were. Fruit was always tasty, but it wasn't particularly her favorite with something else, plain or with a little touch of sugar was always best. "Thank you for breakfast. It was delicious." she smiled, getting up to clear the table and bringing the bowl of berries with her. She washed the dishes as she finished with the strawberries, leaving them in the drainer to dry themselves. "Was there anything you had in mind for the day?" she asked quietly, not wanting to disturb him too much from his paper.

				She startled him for a moment, making him jump slightly as he looked upwards to her face. He couldnt help but smile as he looked at her face before shaking his head side to side and set the paper down. "No, you werent disturbing me. I was just looking for clues." he said before he slid out of his seat and took a moment to stretch slowly, working out the tightness of his body in a few moments. <br><br>After a second he tossed the paper to the side on a small wooden table that was out of the way yet had dozens of other items on it. At first glance it was used just to take notes and figure out mysteries. He walked closer to her and offered his hand as if it were a gesture to hold her own as his lips curled into a smile. "I just thought we could spend the day together. Doing whatever comes to mind." he answered

				She tilted her head to the side slightly, wondering if he had just read her mind before shaking her head a little and shrugging it off. "Clues?" she inquired curiously, wondering what the hell he was talking about. Really, she had no idea what his day would consist of, they had spent the past few days together, yes, but they hadn't been routine days. She expected within the coming weeks they would get back to their normal days.<br><br>Natasha noticed the gesture of his hand and slipped hers into his palm as she stepped closer to him. "Sounds just fine to me. What have you got to do around here?" she asked, wondering if there were any activities they might get up to within the house. Maybe a movie or something of the like, or perhaps it would be back into the outdoors for a walk or another activity. She wasn't quite sure of what the home and surroundings had to offer yet.

"Probably better to let you in on my clue searching later. I dont spend much time here...theres the pool and the hot tub we used the other day.

"Although...you know what I would really like to do?" he said, taking a moment to look back at her as his smile brightened. "I think it would be nice to cuddle up in bed and read a book together. Nothing overly complex, just something to make us think while we enjoy the story."

				Natasha was a little surprised by Vincent's last suggestion, she wasn't quite sure that she'd ever heard of anything like that, but none the less it sounded like it could be an interesting idea. "Alright, that sounds fine. Do you have any suggestions on what we should read?" she asked, tilting her head slightly and smiling a little. The way he answered might give her a few more clues as to what type of books he liked to read for leisure as well, useful information.<br><br>She started on her way toward their bedroom as she waited for his responses. Curling up in bed was nice for a day, but she was still beginning to wonder what life would really be like with Vincent. They hadn't spent a 'real' day together yet, and really had no idea if their lifestyles would be very compatible.

				He walked behind her slowly, thinking about the question as their feet trailed along the padded carpet. He enjoyed all things intellectual, but there were times when fiction had its charms as well. "I think I've read every book in the house at least twice but there is one in particular. Have you ever read, or heard of a book called Thus spoke Zarathustra? Its a philosophical novel by a german man named Nietzsche. Some say that its just a step below Shakespeare's work. Although I have to admit, I've never really liked Shakespeare"<br><br>After a moment he laughed a bit as he realized he was starting to ramble as he often did in social situations. "Sorry, I guess Im still a little nervous. It's hard to adjust to having you hear so easily, I mean I've never even really been on a date before and now I find myself married to someone I hardly know. Not that I'm unhappy about that...I guess I havnt had many chances to be in normal social situations."<br>

				She shook her head a little. "No, I've never heard of any book with that title before." she murred, wondering if it was actually good light reading. Didn't really sound like it, but she didn't want to shut it down before she gave it any chance. "Myself, I'm a fan of Shakespeare, I enjoy his writing." she shrugged a little, they didn't have to have the same taste in books. She knew that most people didn't like the same type of reading that she did.<br><br>She made her way to the library, assuming that he would want to pick something out from there. "I think maybe something light and simple is probably better reading material for two people. Anything too complex and we'll never get anywhere because everyone processes things differently, right?" Really, it was beginning to sound like for him, something filled with philosophy might be a light snack, but for her - a warrior, not the type of person to sit around with a book very often - she might go for something easier on the mind, reading was supposed to be fun when it wasn't for work.

				He followed a few steps behind her, thinking about the ideas she portrayed yet he couldnt really say he understood them. How could someone enjoy a work of art without using their brain to decipher the hidden meanings within? He didnt understand, but at the same time he realized that it was alright that he didnt. They were different people, what mattered was that they shared in things even if they didn't understand one another. <br><br>As they came into the room lined with shelves as far as the eye could see Vincent frowned slightly at the stuffy feel of the room. As he had done a hundred times before he walked over to the windows and opened then one by one till there was a cool breeze moving throughout the room then he sat down on one of the tables as he considered it. "How about some easier fiction? Maybe Alice in wonderland?" he suggested but after a split second he frowned a bit at how he phrased that. "Well not easier...but...ok I dont know what to call it." he finally admitted as he gave a wry smile

				Similar to the way that he didn't understand why she would want to enjoy a story without thinking too much about every detail of it, she didn't understand why he would want to make his brain work so intensely on something that she considered to be an activity for leisure. Natasha knew that she couldn't relax if her mind was running a million miles a second trying to figure out the hidden meaning behind every word of a novel. <br><br>She shrugged a little. "Sure, Alice in Wonderland would be fine for a <strong>light</strong> read." she chuckled. Shaking her head a little, she began wandering already, thinking about how on earth they were going to spend time together when they had completely opposite views on many things. He was intellectual, she was physical. Emotion wasn't really something they had explored together on a deep level, at least not yet. His timid nature though was quickly igniting a dark flame within her, pushing shadows of thoughts to the surface of her mind and pushing her to act on them, to take advantage of him.

				"Thats what you call a light read?" he said with a bit of surprise on his face but after a moment he gave a light chuckle as he shrugged. "Right, different lives or maybe cultures would be a better word." he said with a smile as he walked past her, letting his hand brush the small of her back as well as taking a quick look into her eyes for just a moment. He kneeled down by the shelves below the windows and began looking for a copy of the age old story, occasionall bending down to look at the ones on he lowest shelf. After a few minutes he reached in and took out one book, holding it up to show her. "Found it! Grandpa's filing sysem was always odd but I remember the few books of fiction he kept were always under the windows."<br><br>He hopped up onto his feet and almost seemed to run over to her, showing the same kind of excitment a child might when they were being rewarded for something. He held the book out for Natasha with a smile, looking down at the worn pages. The book itself had seen better days with the bindings torn up, the pages worn, and some of the pages loose. "It's not in the best of conditions, my grandmother read it a lot before she passed on. I think it was her favorite book. She used to teach me about spirit negotiations and she would always talk in riddles associated with it. Eventually I understood, when negotiating with a spirit things like logic dont apply"

				`Natasha gave a bit of a shrug. "A light read to me is something that you can enjoy without it weighing on your mind. It goes by smoothly and before you know it the book is finished." She watched as he knelt down to pick the book out from one of the lower shelves. "I have to wonder why you haven't updated the filing system if you spend so much time in here?" she chuckled a little. Natasha was a little be obsessive compulsive with the things that she used often. Her filing was done meticulously and the slightest mistake could ruin her day. But like he'd been thinking, different things work for different people.<br><br>"Relax now, it's just a book." she chuckled, taking it from him to read the back for the millionth time. She nodded a little before handing it back and chuckling at his talk of spirits. "Six impossible things before breakfast, right?" she smiled, turning out of the little library to head for their bigger and likely more comfortable bed. Once settled she let him deal with the book, she wouldn't touch it too much unless he offered, and besides, she was interested in perhaps having a bit of a nap if he was going to do the reading. She yawned softly as she wondered what was making her sleepy, but she had never been the type of person to get up early so a nap was not a bad idea.

				Vincent walked a few steps behind her, taking a second to job a few more ahead till they were side by side and going down the hallway. Although he let her go inside first. He took a minute to arrange the pillows so he could lean back comfortably against the headboard and then set down, adjusting them once again so they were just right. Then he set the book to the side and opened his arms slightly, offering her a spot right by him and even to lay over his chest if she liked. <br><br>He took a moment to toss his shirt and pants to the side as well, it never felt right laying in bed with a bunch of clothes on but just his boxers were fine. Finally he plopped down on the bed and opened up the book, showing her the inscription just inside the cover. "To my adorable Uria and our children to follow. Know that we love you and like Alice will always be watching." he said quietly before looking back up to her and smiling. "Uria was my grandmother. I guess in a way, you're part of that family now...maybe one day you can share your family heirlooms and treasures with me."<br><br>

				She chuckled a little. "If I ever come into family heirlooms. You are the male, you get the inheritance, I am the only child in my family but I am female, my parents are still trying to have a boy to carry on the family name and inherit the estate. It seems that no matter how far you go in life as a woman, you can never be equal." she sighed a little and shrugged, debating if she should apologize for that outburst. As she curled into the offered place on his chest she closed her eyes.<br><br>After a few moments of meditating quietly she was feeling better than she had been, at least able to forget how she felt about her life sometimes. She cracked her eyes open so that she could see the words on the pages and took a slow breath.&nbsp; Relaxing into him she pulled the blanket up and placed an arm under her chin to keep it from pressing into his chest and making him uncomfortable. "I'm ready whenever you are." she said quietly after settling in, her eyes slipping shut again as she pushed the rest of the thoughts out of her mind and prepared herself for a new experience of reading a book with someone else.

				He found himself a little shocked at that revelation, his family had evolved past the idea of sexes being different. In shamanism there was never the luxury of sexism, some could do the job and others could not but it had been proven centuries past that sex was never a reason for failure or success. "Now that you're a part of my family you wont have to worry about that anymore, only your capability matters." he whispered before kissing the top of her head. <br><br>He let the thought linger as he turned the page to the very first page of the story, like the others the words were faded and pages showed age had set in but even so the book was whole and readable. He began, reading slowly aloud to her as he held her close with one arm around her back and the other holding the book up so they could both see the illustrations within. He would continue till the chapter was over and then he would kiss the top of her head again and speak once more. "Its your turn if you like, or I can read it all."

				Natasha smiled a little at that thought, letting it mull around in her head as he read the first chapter of the classic tale. When it ended she shifted slightly to have a better reading angle and read the second chapter at the same pace, keeping her volume just loud enough for the two of them to hear. She was a little surprised at how enjoyable she found the activity, it was nothing that she had ever tried before, reading for leisure wasn't often something she had time for.<br><br>After the second chapter was finished she shifted back to her previous position, curled close on his shoulder, her eyes closed as she imagined the events of the story as he read. When the next chapter came she would ask quietly if he didn't mind continuing, Natasha had not had anyone read to her since she was a child, and this was a rather enjoyable experience for her, she wanted to take every moment to heart.

				Vincent listened intently, handing the book over and taking the brief moment of reprieve to hold her against him. He needed this short time with her, to feel wanted and welcome as they cuddled together. These short times together, just holding and sharing with one another were always what he had pictured as the ideal personal side of marriage, devoid of carnal desires and purely emotional.<br><br>Her request seemed odd to him since she had wished to experience reading together but he nodded all the same. He went on with the reading, reciting each word with fluid eloquence as if he had read the book a hundred times before. The truth was that he had read it only a dozen or so times before but he still knew the book by heart and stopped to show her the illustration within each time the scene shifted to represent it. <br><br>After a long time he closed the book slowly and whispered "The end." Leaning down he pressed his lips lightly agaisnt the top of her head once again and breathed deeply, taking in her scent. "Did you enjoy yourself?" he asked softly as his hand free hand moved upwards to run down the length of her hair. This moments were like a fleeting dream that he wished would never end but like all good things they were destined to.

				Natasha herself had hardly thought of what she expected to be the best moments of marriage. The fact that she could now call Vincent her husband was still something she had yet to fully comprehend. Getting married was never something she had expected for herself. With the way her place in the clan took her away from life so often, she never expected to have time for another person in her life.<br><br>In the future she was sure that she would enjoy taking turns reading chapters of a book aloud but at this point she wanted some time to adjust to what this new life could hold for her. She wanted the time to enjoy listening while also having the opportunity to be one with her mind, to figure out some of the things that continued to run through her mind. It wouldn't be long before they both had to get back to their real lives, taking their very different places in the hierarchies of their newly connected clans.<br><br>As the book came to its end she hadn't really sorted out anything more than was sorted when they started, but the time to enjoy listening to him and beginning to organize her thoughts was greatly appreciated. "I did really enjoy that. I would definitely be interested to do it again... well, with a different book." she chuckled softly and kissed his cheek.

				He set the book on the nightstand by their bed and then reached down to place his hand on her cheek. "Next time you can pick the book." he said in a soothing tone before leaning forward, stopping just a few milimeters from her lips. He found himself wanting to kiss her, his mate, his wife but instead his lips slowly parted so he could speak. "Natasha, could I kiss you?" was all he said as he looked into her eyes. <br><br>Once again he found himself wanting to feel wanted by her and to be intimate with her if only for a little while but at the same time the last thing he wanted was to force such a thing. It was more important that she wanted those moments then for the moments to happen. As small as he was, as frail as he seemed to others, he was still a man with desires and needs but he would never put them over her own.

				She nodded a little as she looked up at him, agreeing to decide on the next book. She was already thinking about it but that thought was quickly stolen from her mind with his next question. Natasha laughed softly as she shifted to climb atop him, straddling his waist as she leaned down and kissed him with the fiery passion of a woman in need.<br><br>Pulling back she looked down at him, judging his feelings on how to progress for a moment. She slipped back after seeing the glimmer in his eye, lifting her arms as she slipped out of her top. She had to shift from one side to the other as she wiggled out of the matching pants, letting them join their companion top on the floor. This time she was definitely going to make some attempt at showing him the way she liked to do things.<br><br>Natasha was quick to pull his boxers off, the last remaining piece of clothing between them. She smiled mischievously as she reached over to the table on her side of the bed and pulled the drawer open. Looking down at him with an innocent smile she swiftly took one of his wrists and cuffed it to the headboard, the other following in quick succession before she took a moment to watch his reaction, deciding her next move.

				A short and sweet kiss. It was all he asked for and all he really needed to get by for a little while. Yet his face turned into a pleased but somewhat shocked look at the way she kissed him but even more so as she stripped herself and him down in a hurry. They had already had sex a few times but since their marriage he had wanted to consecrate their marriage just to make it recognized in all forms from spiritualy to physically. <br><br>As she removed her own clothes he leaned up and began to kiss her neck and shoulders, feeling a need to have her burning skin close against his own and closer till there was nothing, not even air, between them. "This is...different..." he whispered into her ear as his lips pressed against her cheek once last time before she pretty much forced him down to the bed. <br><br>The calm smile and forwardness calmed him as well, all of their kind were forward at times and most of them knew how to express their desires and needs. Vincent was an oddity in that regard as his social side never really developed as others did due to the long days and nights reading old occult lore and figuring out spirits. Then he felt the handcuffs and looked up, unsure what to think he looked back at her and smiled meekly "Very different...what are you thinking Natasha?" he said softly, feeling a bit nervous but at the same time feeling a sense of thrill spread through him

				Natasha knew that she would be taking him by surprise, possibly scaring him away but now that they had been united officially, she had nothing to lose. There was no such thing as divorce for a couple such as themselves, bringing two clans together as they were. Really, he had no choice but to deal with whatever she threw at him, and that would prove to be much more literal than it sounded.<br><br>"That's for me to know..." she grinned at him as he spoke. "Now shush before I have to make you." She smiled innocently as she debated how far to take it the first time around. There would be plenty of time to push him further but it was probably best not to break him into a million pieces right off the top. It was always more fun when they decided to struggle anyway, especially against someone of her level.<br><br>After only a few seconds, but what seemed like several minutes in her mind, she was shifting around atop him, squirming forward until she planted herself to be sitting lightly on his shoulders, her slick netherbits only inches from his face. Though she was unsure about how he would feel about it, she wasn't about to take no for an answer. Wiggling forward ever so slowly, she was attempting to gauge his reaction before smothering him entirely. She would at least give him the opportunity to resist, if he really wanted to, though she wasn't sure if it would matter ultimately.

				He didnt really fight her, in fact he was more curious about what she was planning. Yet as her nether regions hovered over his face he smiled a bit and leaned up to give her slit a slow yet long lick. She tasted sweet, so sweet that he probably could have licked her for hours and leave her in a state of long lasting arousal. "Mmmm, I wanted to do this earlier but we didnt get the chance. You know you taste divine." he said, his tone betraying his attempt to try and sound at least a little naughty as well as happy. <br><br>He leaned up more, giving her entrance a few more long but slow licks before he withdrew his face again. "This would be easier if I could use my hands, but its also kind of fun." he whispered against her skin before diving in compeltly, trying his best to let her feel that high tinge of pleasure. Vincent had always wanted to do something like this, as well as much more and now he would bury himself into her folds to revel in both the experience and the knowlege that he was pleasing his wife. <br><br>If she would let him he would spend literally hours licking her or at least till the muscles in his jaw began to ache. He wanted to hear her moan like she had when they had sex the other day, proving that he was a good husband as a lover even though he had more to learn. Yet that fact alone, that she had taken his virginity just days before also made him a bit nervous about not having that experience

				Natasha smiled a little as he spoke but shoot her head and pushed herself down against him. "Shush, not time for talking." she chuckled devilishly, leaning forward so that she was kneeling over him, her crotch planted into his face. Though the attempt to seem naughty was a failure, she did find it cute that he was at least trying. It wouldn't be long though, she would change him enough to be truly naughty, that much she could tell already. Time was no issue, they had plenty.<br><br>It wouldn't be terribly long before he'd managed to find the right spots to have her grinding her hips against his face, moaning and crying out in pleasure as he pressed on. Natasha was a little surprised that his tongue hadn't yet tired, but she wasn't going to complain, enjoying it to the most as she leaned back to settle on his chest and shoulders again, forcing him to lift his head to continue with the help of her hand pulling him into her.<br><br>As he pushed her closer and closer to the edge, signaled by higher pitched moans, she would manage to stutter out a quick "Don't... stop!" as her body began to tremble, edging up on the bliss that was orgasm. With the thought of making Vincent her toy in her head, Natasha groaned as ecstasy took over her body, the waves of climax taking over as she pulled at Vincent's hair lightly in appreciation. As the high slowly began to wear off she lifted herself from his body and flopped down on the bed beside him, taking a few moments to bask in the afterglow.

				He didnt stop, in fact he let his tongue slide out of her for a moment before his tongue would lick her clitoris continueously, instead of staying inside her. He continued to lick her till she had finally had enough and slipped away from him. Every little moan and squeel made him that much hornier, wanting to continue but also wanting to do much much more.<br><br>As she slipped off of him he leaned over and wiped his lips clean of her juices, leaving them on his upper arm. As he looked up into her eyes he smiled warmly, loving the look of her in that after glow. Everything looked perfect from her creamy pale skin to her dark chocalate colored hair. "You look absolutely gorgeous." he whispered and after a moment he tried to reach up to embrace her in a hug but in a split second had forgotten about his hands being restrained. Smiling again he looked up at her and whipsered "Looks like I wont be able to hold you for a bit...Can I at least get a kiss?"

				As the shivers and tingles of the afterglow passed, Natasha groaned happily and chuckled. She leaned up and over him, releasing his hands for him before curling in close. She leaned up to give him the kiss he’d asked for, her lips pressing softly against his, her tongue playing over his lips lightly before ducking back into her mouth. Giving a little yawn she laid her head on her shoulder and sighed gently.<br><br>At least while she relaxed from the wonderful pleasure he’d offered, he’d let him have his arms back. If they decided to continue she’d have to decide on if he would have his hands to help or not. For the time being though, she was content to cuddle and let her body gain back its strength. She was sure that Vincent must still be in need of her attention as he hadn’t yet had any help for his own <em>little problem</em>. She supposed that it would only be fair to use her lips to give him pleasure now, but fair wasn’t always the game Natasha played.

				As she released his arms he reached up and hugged her, pulling her into him and pressing his lips tightly against hers. It wasnt everything he wanted but it was what he wanted most in that moment, to feel their skin pressed tightly against eachother and to feel their lips and tongues tangled in an intimate moment of romance. Even the cuddling was special to him, a sign that he had pleased his wife like a good husband always should. <br><br>As he held her he laid soft kisses along her neck, partly in a desire to encourage more and partly for him to show apperciation for her. Yet after a few minutes he withdrew his lips and looked into her eyes, smiling warmly. The entire situation has made him as hard as he could be and left him with a desire for more then just cuddling. "Natasha, do you think we could mate?...or...hmmm I would like to say make love but Im not sure if were quite there yet." he asked softly, although he wondered if she was to tired now or just wanted to wait for a bit.

				Still feeling the after-effects of the pleasure he had just given her, Natasha sighed happily and snuggled in close against him, tilting her head back to give him better access to her neck. She moaned softly, letting herself give in to the new sensation of pleasant tingles over her neck and down her spine. She eyed him with a slight chuckle. "Mating is for making babies, which is the last thing I'm worried about right now. Find a better way to say it, and you might have a chance." she grinned mischievously.<br><br>Shifting slightly she pressed her lips against his neck, nipping at it lightly as her leg slid over his, her knee brushing against his manhood with every intention of teasing him. She knew by now that her plan of making him wait a little longer was going to fail miserably. With the feeling of his hardness under her knee she couldn't help but feel the excitement begin to light up within her again. Hopefully he would find a way to tell her what he wanted without making it sound so terribly clinical.

				"hmmm, Ive never been that great with words...well not spoken words. Putting my words in written form usually helps me sound more articulate." he said with a slight chuckle. Leaning over he kissed her neck again, his hands holding her close as if he could not bear to be parted from her for any length of time. Still his fingers trailed up and down her spine as he thought. <br><br>After a few minutes he sat up slightly and his hand moved down to her exposed thigh, slowly stroking it as he looked into her eyes. "Natash, I want to feel your body tight against mine. Muscles and sinew moving together as we give in to both emotion and instinct and I want us to go on and on till we collapse from exhaustion. What do you think, would you join me in the throws of passion? "

				"Interesting." she commented, pondering for a few moments. "Perhaps at some point you could write me a letter then." a soft giggle escaped from her lips after the suggestion, leaving it open to interpretation of being serious or joking. Distractions quickly pulled her mind away from that though, as she felt the touch of warm lips upon the sensitive skin of her neck, her fingers lacing with those of the hand he used to hold her close to him. <br><br>With the touch of his fingers along her spine a slight shudder would precede an audibly shaky breath from her lips. Her hands suddenly moved of their own accord lifting up around his neck, the tips of her fingernails scratching gently at his spine. Smiling just a little with a slightly devious sparkle in her eye, Natasha responded with a whisper in his ear. As her knee slid up to tease him again she spoke "Is that enough of an answer for you?

				That teasing knee seemed to make him quiver for a moment as his hands moved upwards and to the back of her neck, setting there so he could pull her closer into a soft kiss. Their lips meeting only for a moment as he looked into her eyes. For a few moments he could do nothing but look at her and think about how lucky he was to be paired with her. Arranged marriages did seem to work, at least in their case. <br><br>His lips curled into a handsome smile as he leaned closer, setting his forehead against hers. "Mmmmm, I could try to serenade you or recite some epic poetry confessing my hearts desire." he whispered though his face showed a bit of a teasing look as well.

				She returned the kiss gently but cautiously, she wasn't ready to give up this battle quite yet. She smiled a little and watched him stare at her for a few moments, wondering curiously about what he could be thinking about. He had been lost in space for a few moments when he suddenly smiled and pressed closer against her. She chuckled at his suggestion.<br><br>"Somehow I think that would be a bad idea, for someone with such lack for words." She smirked devilishly and used a flat palm to push him down on the pillows before getting up from the bed and skipping out of the room in a playful manner. He wouldn't get it quite so easily this time, she had no reason to give it all away all at once.

				The moment she skipped out of the room he felt that longing deep in his soul trigger. In refusing his needs she had triggered his desire to hunt, though not for food and not for sport. Werewolves hunted for many reasons and now he planned to hunt even her to fulfill his desire to be with his mate. He sat up, taking a long moment to stretch before he slid off the bed. He stood there, counting silently as he gave her a bit of a head start. This, like any hunt, would mean nothing if the prey wasnt a challenge.<br><br>Once he reached ten he took off after her, his legs carrying him in his human form quickly down the halls, following that intoxicating scent he had been growing used to over the last few days. Soon she would find him right on her heels, unrelenting, untiring, and focused only on her.

				Natasha had been making her way down toward the pool. She'd been longing for the outdoors and the refreshing cool of water against her skin sounded quite pleasant in the warm sun. By the time she made it to the door into the back yard he was already on her heels. She smirked to herself. So, she'd lit up his desire to hunt - the need to exert his dominance and establish himself as the Alpha.<br><br>He'd have another thing coming, but she'd let him figure that out. The warrior Queen of the Veldin clan would be be satisfied to be anything less than the Alpha in her own home. But she'd let him try, it would be fun, she was sure, to watch him struggle. Without paying much attention to him she continued on her way to the pool, pretending she didn't even know he was there.
