Alex's P.O.V (Her Outfit ^^)

Aiden was meeting with Hayley, Jackson, and I near Jackson's trailer, where he dropped nearly a dozen moonlight rings into a bowl on the picnic table. "Well, that's the last of them! Everyone out here is officially ring-free." Aidan said and I smiled.

"And better off."

"Easy for you to say! You're a hybrid. I'm back to turning every single full moon. And, if the wolves who are loyal to Finn come back here, they're gonna rip right through us." I looked at Hayley and Jackson, feeling guilty, and Aiden looked anxious as well. "So, I gotta ask - when is this wedding?"

"Ten days. After that, Alex's power is your power. The full moon won't control you anymore." I nodded in agreement. "Spread the word - any wolf who wants, needs to be here to bear witness to the wedding." Jackson said.

"Yeah, I can do that. What are you guys gonna do?" Aidan asked the three of us and Jackson smiled at me.

"We're going to meet an Elder!" Jackson said and I looked at him and Hayley in confusion. Jackson turned to me to briefly explain what we're doing. "We need an old-school Crescent wolf to conduct the wedding. Then, there are the trials." I looked even more alarmed then I looked at Hayley, who didn't look alarmed at all, but Jackson laughed at me.

"Don't worry! Klaus and you say a few oaths, do some trust falls, smoke a little blue calamus root out of a peace pipe. Piece of cake!" Jackson smiled at me, but I was still nervous. Plus, I think Klaus is busy. Aiden noticed my hesitation.

"Well, good luck with that!" Aidan said and I nodded at what he said. He took that as his cue to leave, and I turned to Jackson and Hayley.

"Any idea where we can find an Elder?" I asked them and Hayley smiled.

"Well, that depends! You got any interest in meeting his grandma?" Hayley asked me. I good-naturedly rolled my eyes and smiled at them as we headed off to find our Elder.

Hayley, Jackson, and I were walking through the woods of the Bayou on our way to meet Jackson's grandmother. While we walked, I sighed dramatically.

"Are we hiking to Baton Rouge?" I asked them and Jackson chuckled.

"Just a little bit farther. You nervous?" Jackson asked me and I shook my head.

"Nervous on meeting your grandmother? No. Getting married? I'll get back to you on that one." I said and Jackson smiled at me.

"Don't worry, she usually likes the girls I bring home." Jackson said and I feigned offense.

"Ohhh! Really? Hmm. Exactly how many girls have you brought to meet her?" I asked him and saw Hayley blush behind him, then smiled.

"I've only ever brought Hayley to meet her." I looked surprised and Hayley rolled her eyes at me. "So, you've gotta make a good impression, since she's only got one person to compare you with." Jackson said.
