The Blue Wolf

Part 24

Arabella's Perspective:

Willam was talking to some council members about twenty feet away from me. I had met them earlier on in the party, and from what I gathered, they were very serious and boring people, I couldn't talk to them for more then five minutes before zoning out. But they were very nice to me, and said I had their protection in any circumstance.

One of them had brought her one year old son with her. I started making goofy faces at her baby. Her son had taken an immediate liking to me and reached out to be held by me. I asked the women permission to hold her son, and she said "Of course, you don't have to ask Luna Ara." I had grabbed him right away and the council member seemed very pleased with my action.

I took him to the dance floor, to dance with him and sing to him whatever song was playing. I mostly just swayed him around lightly, as he laughed his adorable laugh.

I had been doing that for around five minutes when Will came to the dance floor. He looked at me with a very sincere expression. I kept swaying the baby as I said "What?" He said "Do you want one?" I said "A bottle wine so I can get drunk or A baby?" He laughed. I smiled at Will "In a few years." Will looked at me happily "Really?" I said "Yes." The thought of having a little Will or little me running around made me feel euphoric.

I had taken the baby back to his mom after that. Me and Will danced to another slow song. Before going to our table.

I was sitting at our sweetheart table gazing at William. I inhaled deeply thinking about how lucky I was when someone tapped my shoulder gently. I turned around and saw Ryker in a charming navy blue suit.

I got up off my seat and hugged Ryker. He gave me a light laugh and hugged me back, with one arm. Once he pulled away from me, he sat down. I said "Did you just get here?" He put his hands up "Yes., I'm sorry, forgive me. I had business to deal with. He grabbed the bottle of wine I was sipping from and took a chug. "You look very beautiful. And Alpha Willam looks great too. You've married a great guy."

I said "Thanks man. So what'd you bring me as my wedding gift?" Ryker laughed his warm laugh "Dude I do have something but I'll show you tomorrow morning if William would allow me."

William arrived at the table then. He sat down and kissed my hand. He asked with authority in his tone: "Allow you to do what?" Ryker stuck his hand out, Willam took it, while shaking William's hand Ryker said "Congratulations William." Willam nodded with a forced smile.

Ryker said "Your guys's wedding present. Can I borrow Ara for an hour in the morning?" I looked at William, I couldn't read his expression but his thoughts were conflicted, Willam said "When?" Ryker looked at him "From eight to nine, then I'll bring Ara right back."

Willam thought about it for a few seconds, "Alright Ryker. You can. She'll be outside for 8 am. But by nine. She's back. Is that understood?"

Ryker shook William's hand happily then, and said "Yes completely." He got up, "Alright, guys I have to somewhere to be right now but I'll see you in the morning Ara." I nodded, then Ryker left.

When he was gone I turned to Willam in shock "Whaaaaat? Are you sure you're okay? What have you done with my William? Why were you so cool?" Willam smiled and took my hand "You're mine forever, and I trust you, just don't let him get too close though."

I abruptly hugged Willam and said "Thank you. I love you so much." Willam embraced me back "I love you more then you'll ever understand Arabella."

I had been standing outside for five minutes now. It was only 7:35 on the clock when I was gonna leave our room upstairs, so I could make myself a cup of tea before Ryker came. I got ready quickly. And I was giving William a kiss before leaving.
