My friends will love her. She’s a vision in her gown that flows down to her feet. My pack…when I see them again, will love her as well. That time will come soon as I’ve written to let them know that I have found a mate. My throat tightens as emotions overwhelm me, and I push them down. Everything will come in time, that I am sure of.
Idalis looks around, wide-eyed, at the joyful chaos around us, her hair flowing down her back in curls and her cheeks pink with excitement. Although she may not want others to see her, she certainly enjoys seeing others.
It’s been quite a long time since she was in a crowd of this size.
I let her take her fill. Then, when she bites her lip, I pull her into my arms and hold her close. Nothing compares to her. Not the cities or the celebrations or the grand displays.
I know that she’s nervous, because inside the city walls, there are more people waiting for us. My commander Jorge. The prince and the princess…although I have been told something has changed. Many of my comrades.
“They will all love you,” I promise her.
“I’m the witch who is so frightening she must live alone. So powerful she should be feared.” She smiles, letting out a nervous laugh. Apprehension shines in her eyes.
“You don’t live alone anymore,” I point out. “And you are lovely. Many lovely people wish to live in solitude.”
“Do they?” she teases. “Are you sure about that?”
“I have enjoyed my solitude with you.”
She tips her face up to mine for a kiss. “Don’t leave my side, please.”
“I would never,” I swear to her. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” Idalis answers.
She lifts herself on tiptoes for one more kiss before we step inside to join the celebrations.
The kiss seems to go on forever, and I wouldn't mind if it did. It is a kiss shared with every part of me.
My soulmate.
My fated lover.
Mine forevermore.
My powerful little witch.
