Chapter 106 - The Blessed Luna

Shelby's POV

Thomas and I talked until we both fell asleep about wedding stuff. I'm already exhausted over it and it's just begun. It's lunch time now. After lunch someone else is suppose to pop in about our dresses. This morning has already been busy as well.

Persephone's Pop In

"Hello, little goddess. I was checking on things this morning in my garden. Would this flower be to your liking?" She said while handing me a beautiful huge peach pixie lily.

"That is perfect. I love the color."

"Great. We will get to work making a field of these."

"We have 2 days. It takes longer than that to grow a lily to full bloom."

"Not when you're the Goddess of Spring." She chuckled and was gone.

Rhea's Pop In

"Darling, how many people will be there? I have the perfect person for party advice and wine."

"I'm not sure. Thomas, James, and Joel are handling that."

"Fine then, I'll pop over to his office."

A second later, I heard two grown men scream like little girls and knew she was there.

My Mom's Pop In

"Tired already and it's not even halfway done. Don't forget your dress fitting today. Be ready with the girl's in the living room."

"Can you tell whoever your sending to meet in the basement?"

"Why?"

"Two reasons: One, Elizabetha is one of the bridesmaids and sunlight, need I say more. Two, I don't want any of the guys to 'happen to walk in'. Thomas is sneaky and overly excited." I said with a laugh.

"I'm so glad you included Elizabetha."

"Well you are the one who gave her to me."

"Honestly ... it wasn't my intention to make you a tribrid. Elizabetha made a lot of enemies just by being turned. She has the soul of an angel, but not everyone saw her that way afterwards. She became a close dear friend, as close as a daughter. Now I'm glad she has the chance to walk freely and love wholeheartedly. She had to be hidden before Daminix was born."

"But ... how will they have any kids? Daminix said they use humans to produce any children."

"That will be a gift she can receive from a very special person. A person who has already reversed the Fates design."

"Me?"

She smiled, hugged me, and disappeared. How? What? I'm so confused.

The morning was pretty busy. After lunch we headed downstairs to meet with Elizabetha.

"How are things going since we separated?" I asked her while giving her a hug.

"Amazing." She beamed. "I never thought I'd get to experience such a love. It's all thanks to you."

"I didn't do anything. You are mates."

"Yes, but you let me go. You freed me."

"It sounds like she's a genie." Jackie laughed.

"Are those real too?" Jenna asked.

"Pretty sure they aren't." Jackie laughed at her.

"I have never seen one. Good afternoon ladies." Damininx said, kissing Elizabetha's head. "Ahh, my little goddess. It's been too long."

He took my hand and kissed it.

"It was just the other day."

"Are you and Hermes kin by any chance? You're both shameless flirts." Jenna giggled.

"When you have been around as long as we have, nothing is worth having any shame over anymore."

A figure popped up in the room and Daminix yelped. The four of us laughed.

"You might not have shame, but you are a scaredy cat." Elizabetha teased him.

"She just popped up, no warning." He said turning red with embarrassment. "I'll leave you ladies alone to collect myself."

We turned to greet the new person and introduce ourselves.

"Hello, goddess. I'm Rhapso. I'll be making your dresses."

"Is it possible in 2 days?"

"With thousands of years of experience, yes." She chuckled. "What would you like? What color?"

I startled her when I took her hand. She relaxed and I projected an image of the gown I wanted, my maid of honors gown, and my bridesmaids.

"Seems simple enough."

"Really? It's not over the top?"

"I have made dresses for goddesses for so long. Aphrodite is over the top. Your dresses are a short calk walk compared to what I have done before." She laughed.

"Soooo ... Jenna is the werewolf version of Aphrodite." Jackie laughed.

Jenna just rolled her eyes. Elizabetha and I couldn't help but giggle.

She took each of our measurements and wrote them down.

"Where are the guys? I can do theirs as well."

"Really?" I was surprised. "Well Daminix is in the room over there and the others are ..."

"Just mindlinked them. Told them it was an emergency." Jenna grinned.

Within a few moments you could hear, what sounded like a herd of wild buffalo, running down the stairs.

"What's ... wrong?" Thomas had to catch his breath.

"Is any of you hurt?" Liam shouted.

"Jenna?" They all said together.

We all busted out laughing. Damininx ran out of the room when he heard the commotion.

"What is going on?"

"We need you guys to be measured for your tuxes." I simply said.

"That's it? Jenna said an emergency. You need to learn the difference, babe. We all about fell down the stairs. Thomas almost collided with Liam on the way here."

"Sorry, not sorry. You got here and fast." Jenna chuckled.

"This is Rhapso, she needs to take care of our wedding party's clothes." I said turning to her. "Black with my color choice."

"Well then, we will be on our way then." Jackie said as we went to go back upstairs.

I was exhausted. I have no clue how wedding planners do this, but I have a lot more respect for them now. This is only one wedding, I couldn't imagine hundreds.

"How's everything going?" Garrick asked as we entered the living room.

"Hectic." I giggled.

"Not to mean it in a bad way, but why are you here?" Jenna asked curiously.

"I snuck out. Joel is going crazy with invitations. Since it's short notice he's been calling and running around like crazy." Garrick chuckled.

"Hello?" We turned to see Timothy walking in the door. "Shelby, just who I was looking for. I need to speak with you, now."

"Let's go to my office."

Once inside, Timothy shut the door.

"What's up?"

"We have had another request to join your pack. They say they are ancients. I thought that was all done with, we won our war."

"That was just a small battle. Sit down." I took a deep breath as he took a seat. "There is a revolution coming to a head, apparently, we are all going to join the battle, if there are more ancient wolf soldiers coming forth. I figured it would be just us."

I sat back and sighed. What is going on now? I hate being in the dark so much. I guess we need to get together after the wedding and hold a meeting. I'm also guessing a trip to see the Fates is coming soon too. One thing at a time.

"Just keep bringing them and keep all the ways we use to have set in place. There must be a reason for this. We will figure it out and let you know. I will tell the others. Go downstairs and talk to Garrick."

He stood up, bowed, and left to go find Garrick. I sat there lost in my own thoughts, until Thomas walked in.

"A penny for your thoughts?"

"Timothy just left. There are more ancient wolves."

"I figured it will just be us six to help the gods."

"Me too. There is a reason for this and we will find it. Now, though, let's just worry about our wedding."

"Agreed." He beamed.

--- Flowers, check. Cake, check. Dresses and Tuxes, check. So much more to go, check. ---
