The lounge was decored with loving care. Salice moved about placing the decorations around the room. Making sure the fire was well sticked with wood and all the couches and chairs were clean and perfect.

The room smelt of sweet spices and the wood that burned within the hearth. Lovely hand made streamers were hung around the room with a helping touch of magic. Salice walked around with easy the only sister not so pregant , she didnt yet waddle like Shavyn and Shea. A smirk played across her face as Vanya ran through the lounge eating a spiced apple cookie. Audrey was footstpes behind her looking lovely in a long red dress.

Salice was happy, so happy. This year winter fest would be better than any other. Salice recalled the last one.So much had changed. Devron was gone now,long since out of mind. For some at the very least he was out of mind. But Salice always kept her mind keen on where he might be, or what he might do next.

The lounge was done, next would be the trhoen room where the wedding would take place. Another wedding, it seemd like everyone was getting married, well save for her.She was not divorced, at least that was the human term for it. But she had Lona and soon her son.Salice also had Etten. And what an odd pair they made.

Shavyn waddled through the room with a arm full of lovely streamers.

"To the throne roomw ith those Shay." Salice was making sure the tables were perfect. The smell of cooking food wafted throught he castle from end to end floor to floor. Salice then moved following Shay tot he throne room. Then with a breeze felt Shea would appear tea bags in hand waddling past the two kitchen bound.

Salice knew where Shea had been, Salice could smell Rhydin and feel its essence long before anything was ever said.

The throne roomw as cleaned with a spell or two, the pian tuned and the chairs set for the wedding. The streamers hung and the flowers put int here vases, it was perfect. The three sisters didnt have to lifta fnger to decorate really but they enjoyed it. Soon it was done and the throne room would be off limits to Jade and Darkmere. Until wedding time.

Up stairs Audrey tended to the wedding dress, and other dresses. Vayna sat in the chair across from her mother already dressed and ready for the fest to begin. It would start soon. Soon enough the rest of the guests would arrive.

While the ladies were inside taking care of the light work. Victor had the men work to get the outside ready for the coming festivals. Etten and Dark were busy with getting the outside of th palace to look al nice and pretty for the wedding.

Once they were done, they gathered in the garden with both Etten and Victor glancing to Dark. " Hard to believe the old man is going to be getting married." A smirk from Victor as he looked back to Etten.


" Maybe..but he's getting up there in the years..so he's trying to feel young again. " Etten chuckled before starting to head inside towards the gathering of women.


Victor followed soon afterwards, as Dark waited out in the garden for his lovely wolven lady. He grinned to what the two had said but knew they were just picking on him. Once they got inside..Shea and sisters would spot the two wearing pink..with cute pink bows in their hair.

" What? " Victor quirked a brow at the cackling women as they laughed, before looking to Etten. A couple of blinks followed, as Etten returned the look. Yeah..They just noticed why they were getting laughed at.


" He's so going to get it.. " With a poof, both were back to wearing their normal clothing. Etten then looked to Shea. " Yeah..the outside is done now. " Said as he moved to join Salice, while giving Shay a glare.


Victor chuckled before moving to sit with Shea, then tied her hair back with that nice pink bow. " There.." A big grin to her, before stealing her cup of tea.


Meanwhile.. Dark was sitting in the middle of the garden, in a more casual look. Hands rested on his knees, as he had his eyes closed. Just like in Nosgoth, he found peace and quiet in a garden, with no idea Jade was stalking him.

Victor chuckled to hearing about JAde sneaking around all day, before flashing Shea an innocent grin. " I'll try. " A chuckle to her telling him to behave, before relaxing in that chair.


Etten smiled and nodded to Salice as she headed off to get ready as well, before looking over towards Victor. " I bet Jade is out stalking the old man. " A smirk from him once the ladies and Kublin left.


Victor nodded to that. " More than likely, and knowing Shea..She'll ruin Jade's plan. She is always a buzz kill. Just don't tell her I said that. " A smirk in return from him.


Meanwhile, Dark would hearing Jade and Shea..before moving to stand up. He would follow them inside, then into the lounge to join Etten and Victor. " So..I guess they are trying to rush everyone into getting dressed? "


Both Etten and Victor shrugged, as Dark took a lean on the nearby wall. " You know how the women are here..They want to look all dolled up and such. " That got Dark to chuckle.

" Better watch it. Victor.. Shea would make you wear bright pink. Then make you model it for everyone.. " He looked towards the door..just to be sure a certain fiesty elf didn't hear him.

" Yeah.. They are getting dressed while keeping an eye on the bride. " A grin for Audreyas Victor picked Vanya up, and set her on his knee. The remaining men still had to get ready.


Etten and Dark both nodded to Mila and Aiden, before Kahn stepped inside. He too was dressed up looking rather sharp in his suit. " Alright you three..Enough playing around..Time for you three to get dressed. "


All three shot Kahn a glare, before Etten moved off to get dressed. A moment later Victor slipped Vanya down to get dressed as well. Dark remained against the wall.

Dark smiled down to Vanya, as the little one just might catch was was hidden behind that cloak. Yes. He was already dressed up in a very well taliored suit. He could dress up and such, but didn't like it all that much.


Kahn smiled back to Audrey as he moved up behind her, and slipped his arms around her. " I wonder who else is going to show up. " Said upon seeing Aiden and Mila, then Shuan and Sira.



No sooner than Kahn said something, Ghallon would walk into the room, with the lovely Willow with him. He too was dressedup, abit in a white tux. " So..he finally decided to get married.. I must meet the lady that captured his heart. "


Victor and Etten would finally return, upon hearing Ghallon. " Oh she's just as wild and dark as he is..Hard to say which one is the worst. " Victor grinned as he looked over to Darkmere. Whom just smirked back.

::And behind them came Aldaya ,Maewen and surely behind the two finely dressed ladies would be Raz and Max. Aldaya was wearing a dress for the second time it was deep green and her long blue locks were up. Maewen looked stunning as always ina long flowing dress of plum tonened velvet.::

::Then behind them came Alces Wolfe. Jades only blood family. He was dressed ina tailored suit that he hated wearing he much mroe liked his wolves fur to that suit but this was a imortant day. He looked to the staisr way knowing allt he ladies were likely getting ready, as he walked in and before he could greet the other guests a wind mage took him up stairs rather quickly.::

::Willow looked towards the stair way. And taking no time she wondered away to see what was going on.::

:;Up stairs Shea and Shavyn ere talking with Alces about walking Jade down the aisle. Things were off track, for one thing Shay was very worried, she knew she could go in to labor at any hour.Shay had been hoping to give birth days ago.Thing like this always happened.:::

::In the Lounge Shaun and Aiden got to talking with Max along for the ride and Sira,Maewen and Mila were all chating on the cough. Novella sat with Anala and was making sure her friend was in the most of comfort. Aldaya felt oddly out of place, not one of the family and just watching the goings on.::

Whats going on in there? :: Willow knocked on the door.::

::Salice poked her head out and pulled the goddess in:: Shh

::Jade sat facing the mirror all ready for the wedding.::


Meanwhile down stairs

Alright everyone if we could move to the throne room and take our seats those whoa re in the wedding party should take their palces. Mila You'll be needed up stairs. :;Audrey rose.:: Take Vanya with you please.

::Mila rose crossed to Vanya who at the moment had been staring at Magus before Mila took her away up stairs.::

::The double doors opened and out came Mila first walking down the asile to stand to Salices right. Thewn waddling down the asile came Shay.Kulbin watched her closely from his seat.Shay grinned as she took her place besides Mila.Lastly Shea came down the asile,waddling her way there to stand beside Shay and Mila. Then skipping down the asile came Vanya rtossing rose petals as she went. The music shifted to something slower.Shea grinned and in to the doorway stepped Jade. In a long elegant dress of light lavender the short sleeves hung off her shoulders,her auburn hair was up and curled,a veil of thin fabric of the same color hung over her lovely face. She walked slowly down the asile towards those gathered there.::

:;Jade blushed softly looking to ehr man all suited up.:: You look rather handsome :: whispered back.::

::Shea shot Victor a long look.And stuck out her tongue just for a moment.::

::Kulbin rose just to stand beside Shavyn,and make sure she was still holding up. Three very round women in the room.Shea,Shavyn and Anala all ready to pop.::

::Salice grinned looking between Dark and Jade.:: It is an honor to bring two people together. Even more so to bring these two together. Both of wild and free spirits,both of dark pasts. Their love shines so brightly. Today I am happy to be prosiding over Lord Darkmere Alcar and Jade Rosemnote-Wolfe's wedding. :: a glance between the two:: Join hands please.

::once they had she would continue:: It is a blessed thing to be so in love to want to spend the rest of your life with some one. I am honored to be joining two so worthy of being together. Now Under the light of the full moon of Hrive Merende, in the presense of friends and family. Exchange your vows. Miss Rosemonte-Wolfe shall go first :: handing the satge over to Jade.::

He smiled softly to Jade's words, before leaning down to kiss her brow once she was finished. He would then, rest his brows to her's before saying his own vows.


" Ever since that night we met..I knew we would always be together. We both have faced each problem together, and proved to theother we wish to spend out lives together. I vow to you, that I will always be your dark king..your lover..your friend, and your husband. I will love you..my lupine queen..till the end of my days. "


Once he finished speaking, he slipped the ring onto her finger, before catching her cheeks with his hands. He then leaned down to kiss her softly, before Sailce pronounced them husband and wife.

- Once he pulled back from kissing her, a soft grin crossed his lips to hearing the roat of clapping from their family and friends. Hands still cupping her cheeks, with his thumbs wipping back those tears - Jade Rosemonte- Wolfe Alcar.. - Murmured ever so lovingly to her -
::Jade smirked to that and leaned in to his hands upon her cheeks, she was so happy it showed so well, as she blushed to everyone clapping.::

He then swept her up to be craddled into his arms, before looking towards the others. - I guess it's time for the party? - A grin to them, as he had seent his lovely wife blushing, but wouldn't say anything right now -


:swept up in to his arms with so much ease.:; aye tis time to party. ::a long look to Shea and her sisters they had decked out the whole castle just for her and Dark's wedding the chairs were quickly cleared by a certain wind mage and Aiden stoled over tot he piano in the coner followed by Mila.::

Ladies and Gents It is my honor to introduce the lovely couple ::Shea said as she moved to lean upon Victor.:; And their first dance. ::The music started and for once in ppuplic at least Mila's voice rose in soft elven love song.::

He grinned to that, before carring the lovely lupine to the middle of the throne room then lowered her down to her feet. He then took her hand in his, with his other resting on her hip, then started to dance with her. -

- Victor slipped his arm around Shea, with the others doing the same to their mates..Each watching the newlyweds dance -

::Jade grinned from ear to ear::


:;Shea leaned in to Victor and looked around for Shay where had she gone.Kulbin was missing too.::


Victor glanced around, before leaning down to Shea's ear - I think it's time.. - Meaning Shay's child to be born. -


- Dark smiled softly back to Jade as they just continued to dance -

Shea nodded, Shavyn was due first after all.Shea leaned up and kissed Victors cheek before wadlding her way out to find Shavyn.Salice was close at her sisters heels and close at both their heels was Willow.::

::Jade grinned softly as she rested her head to her beloveds shoulder., her brows rose to the sisters leaving the room,it had to be that time.::

Dark moved his arms more around Jade, with a slight caress to her back. He noticed the ladies heading out..and guessed the same. -

::Jade grinned and danced on. Surely by the time one of the sisters reappered one or more child would have been born.There were three ticking time bombs ehre and all three had suddenly gone upstairs.::


- Victor was watching as the girls waddled through...Well Shea and Shay waddling..before going back to whispering with the remainning guys and ladies. Dark was still grinning -


::Aiden grinned and looked towards Mila. Soon his sister would be bron as well as many other little ones.::

::Mila tried not to giggle as she watched the laides go,keeping her mind on the song.::

::Jade grinned and moked Shea and Shavyn. now that they were out of the room:; quack

- And the " quack" got Dark to laugh. - Shh...they'll hear you...The ducks have good hearing.. - Whispered to hsi lovely bride of course. -

- Victor chuckled to hearing the quack as well..and nodded in agreement -


:Jade grinned.:: quack.. :; softly this time as she with her lupine hearing could now hear a baby cry.:: we have one down two to go. Vic better go make sure Shea hasnt poped..


Hey Victor..Shouldn't you go check on you round as she is tall wife? - He grinned as he scooped Jade up in his arms. -

- Victor shot a look towards Darkmere on that, before excusing himself to go find Shea. -

::Jade grinned.:: mmm ::she kissed his cheek softly and watched Victor go. The room was rather quiet now with Audrey and Kahn dancing with Vanya and Aiden and Mila ahd left the piano for the dance floor.Shaun and Sira were dancing still as were Max and Maewen.::

Looks like the ducks upstaged us.

He smiled to that, before moving to sit by the window to her - Tis alright..I am happy for them..as well as being happy for us..- Said softly to her.. - And will be more so..when we have our child.

:Jade nodded she was ahppy for her friends as well.Her family.:: Aye as am I, mm yes ::Her gloved hands touched her stomach.:: In a few months I wont be able to fit in this dress ...

- He smiled to that - True..you'll be round like the two ducks here..- He placed a hand with hers. - Then I'll be quacking at you

Three ducks :: recalling Shea,Shavyn and miss Anala.:: I will not be as round as I am tall. I hope at least. ::a smile then:: I was thinking about names. What names do you like?

- He chuckled softly - Not that I will care if you are. - Now holding her a little closer. - Names...- He tilted his head on that .-

for the baby ::a soft point.As she leaned in close to him.:: Mmm well if I am round as I am tall Id better be carrying twins or something. ::then lupine ears heard another baby cry.:; two down..one to go.

- He chuckled to that, and hugged her - I know it's for the baby..you silly woman..- He then nodded softly. - Aye..two down one to go..


Jade grinned:;I bet Adamina will be last :: a smirk then as she purred up at him.:: I have thought of a few names one in particular

Oh? - He looked down at her, then grinned .- I feel for Victor..Shea's probably yelling and screaming at him right now.

:Jade didnt hear and yelling but the castle was well sound proofed.:; aye I bet she is. ::a smile::yes well Shea gave me the idea really.

- He nodded softly to that, before lightly poking her belly - Well..what are the names you and Shea came up with

:she giggled to the poke.:: well I like Azura. It was my mothers name. ::hincewhy Shea gave her the idea.:: if it is a girl that is

Azura Alcar..- He seem to ponder on that, before grinning - I like that name.

::Jade grinned to that::It has a ring to it doesnt it. I havent thought much of boys names,your the expect on that

- he chuckled to that - Alright...I'll think on it..but for now..- He pulled her up to allow him the pleasure to kiss his lovely wife.. And he did just that -

::that kiss was greatfully returned.It was the kind of kiss that made her toes curl.He was always so good at those.::

- And her kisses were aloways good enough to get the dark one to purr for her. -

:Jade did so love that purr.::

:;One last cry would be heard and Willow was the first back in tot he room:: We have three babes all well and good,one boy and two grils as planned :; a smirk from the goddess. Looking at the newly wed lupine and her lover the vampire::

- He continued to purr for Jade..as he nodded to hearing Willow. -

- The others..clapped to hearing her..before getting up to follow Willow..So they could pay their respect..as well as give the new couple some private time -

:;Jade smirked watching everyone leave the throne room following the goddess back up to see all the new borns.::Look at that.. ::her fingers pressed to his chest and those nible fingers undid one button of his shirt.::all alone

- He smirked to that, as he watched her unbutton the top one of his shirt - That we are...and it is our wedding night..I say we go to sleep. - A sly grin to see if she'd growl to that idea..Seeing how the lovely lupine had been wanting to drag him off all day -

::she did growl to that and undid another button.:;sleep, I couldnt sleep. Not anything in the world could make me sleep. Its our wedding night,do you not wish to celebrate?

- He smirked more to her - I think I could manage to celebrate our wedding night...but I need a little help on deciding on how.

:she purred to him.:;mm well I didnt get all dressed up for nothing. I wanted to impress you while I still can. ::another button undone.::I have a few ideas on how to celebrate.

Oh really? - A wiggle of his brows, before moving to stand up..before she fully undressed him. And yes she was still craddling in his arms -

::she smirked as he held her still in his arms;; aye, but I can only tell you ina whisper. ::she leaned up and kissed his cheek then up to his ear lobe and whispered.:: I have in mind something to make you purr

he purred softly to her - Then I guess I'll have to carry you to our room here. - And he turnned to do just that, with a fanged grin on his lips -

Mmm yes, tis why they gave us a room after all. :: noting his grin.:: Then when we are alone I can impress you .. ::a wolfin smile.::
