The Young Wolf & The Mother of Dragons

Chapter 5

When the king had announced that he would be coming to Winterfell to see his sister wed, the wedding became an even bigger fuss than it would have been. Catelyn had planned everything down to the last detail. She would ask Dany for her input, which she would gladly give, but Dany found she was more excited for the actual marriage than the ceremony. Another reason she was excited was because she'd finally get to see her niece Rhaenys. It had been years since they last saw each other and now her niece would be arriving in Winterfell tomorrow accompanying her father.

Daenerys was currently getting ready to go outside and take a walk with Robb in the godswood. They often spent most of their time together whenever they had a chance and Dany cherished those moments. Robb was easy to talk to, he was a gentlemen, and she found him incredibly attractive. It seemed that the more time she spent with him, the more attractive he became and the more sure she was about their union. Their wedding would take place a day after the king had arrived, giving him and his party time to settle in before they began the festivities. As happy as Dany was about being wed to Robb she also couldn't help the nerves that creeped in at the thought of her brother coming North. Since it was revealed Daenerys had began having strange dreams. At first she had thought nothing of it, until the dreams became a recurring theme and felt so real. Each time she was so aware of what had happened and how she felt in that moment. It was beginning to worry her.

When she made it outside she noticed Robb already there awaiting her arrival. When he spotted her he smiled at her widely, the same smile she had been falling for each day ever since he'd graced her with it for the first time. She returned it with a smile of her own before she made her way over to him and took his hand as they began their walk. They didn't say much at first, just walking in a comfortable silence knowing that each other's presence was enough. It scared Dany how much she yearned to be with Robb at all times. It pleased her to see he felt the same way considering how he always sought her out when he was not occupied. Jon and Theon had jested plenty of times about how Daenerys had stolen their companion. It was finally Robb who broke the silence as they were still walking.

"They say that your brother's party will arrive some time tomorrow. Which means our wedding shall take place the following day. I hope you are ready to be bound to me forever." He jested at her with a small smile.

"There is no one else I'd want to be bound to." Daenerys said before they stopped  in front of the heart tree. Dany turned to face him squarely. "I'm..." She swallowed, and made herself say the rest, even if it was so hard to do when looking right into Robb Stark's lovely blue eyes. "I'm glad that it's you I'll be marrying someday, and not someone I couldn't trust, or respect."

"Plus, you are very pretty. Seeing your face every morning will not be a hardship, provided you keep your looks." She jested.

To her relief, Robb burst out laughing at this, even as his cheeks went poppy red. "I'll do my best to please you in that regard, my lady," he said in a tone of exaggerated chivalry, bowing over her hand.

But then he paused, his head still lowered, and then brushed a faint kiss against Dany's hand. So faint and so quick that it might not have happened at all, except for the way that Dany's entire hand was left tingling.

Robb looked upwards at her. "Is this all right?" he asked, his mouth only an inch away from Dany's fingers, his warm breath sending little sparks of feeling from her hand all throughout her body.

"Yes," Dany said, barely recognizing her own voice, she'd become so breathless. "I like it."

Robb's gaze darkened at this, but he lowered his head and pressed a soft kiss to her knuckles. Then, to Dany's surprise, he turned her hand over to uncurl her fingers and pressed another kiss to her palm, right above the pink scar that bisected it.
