The Brotherhood-RETURNED -Book 3

Chapter 38

Ire was calmly sitting at her vanity getting ready as Eboney and Layla were running around panicking. She laughed to herself and finished putting her earring in as Willow helped her with her hair.

"Your really very good at this." Ire complimented.

"Well I have done this a few times now, maybe one day it will happen at my own." Willow joked.

"Well when it does you promise to let me help with something...perhaps not hair, I am not very great at that, I use to be but not any more, but I am quite good at many other things."

Willow smiled, "Oh I will, every one of you will be there and your all getting jobs!"

Ire smiled jokingly at Willows humor, they chatted until she was done with her hair and then Ire got up and looked over her dress before she put it on. She had a seamstress put it together for her she didn't really care what it looked like, but with the help of her new friends it came out rather beautiful. It was a black A-line lace off the shoulder gown. It was very simple but she thought it was absolutely perfect.

"Of all the colors and you chose black?" Eboney asked.

"Just seemed perfect."

"Making fun of her color, you picked the human wedding white, talk about... of all the colors!" Willow teased.

"It was also perfect!" Eboney argued.

"Hey, at least you got to choose I had to wear red and I didn't get to pick my dress or color so... I think it's lovely." Layla said getting it off the hanger.

"If you had chosen Layla, what color dress would it have been?" Ire asked.

Layla smiled down at Ire's dress in her arm.

"Well my dress was rather special it was the dress all the females before me had worn including my mother, it was very special... but I feel like it was never worn in love ya know so if I could have chosen my own dress it would have been a dark blue maybe or maroon... I'm not really sure, but I do know I will never regret my mating day it was perfection."

They all smiled.

"Well all I can say is at least all of you are mated, I don't even have that." Willow sighed.

"Willow it will happen, maybe something lovely will come of this night." Layla spoke kindly.

Willow nudged her arm and Layla whimpered in pain and then tried to laugh it off.

"Umm, you okay?" Willow asked.

Layla smiled, "Yes... I think, ever since the brothers found out I have been out fighting they have been making me train like a brother and spar with Ahgoney and he goes much harder than Hharm ever did with me, Hharm hit me hard, but Ahgoney... hits me like I am one of his brothers, which is fine... but I didn't know getting hit by a large vehicle over and over and over was part of the deal."

"Did he teach you to stop him, from hitting you?" Willow asked.

"Yes I already knew... but with his mind reading he is unbelievably fast and it makes me very predictable as well."

"You don't have to do this." Ire smiled.

"I'll be okay, if just makes me wonder how much Hharm was actually holding back and if I can even do this now or if I was just lucky all those times."

Willow smiled knowing what Layla was doing was huge for females in their world on top of, it was the princess of their kind so it was even bigger, but also it's a little concerning for that exact reason.

"No one would be upset with you if you want to stop, you don't have to do this. There is other means that could use you." Willow spoke up.

"Like what?"
