Kissing The Shadows

Chapter 9:

Aryanna didn't really feel comfortable with Lance but it wasn't like how uncomfortable she was with Augustus. She wasn't comfortable with Lance but she still wanted to be around him, all the time. She didn't know much about him however, so she must learn more.

Aryanna left the practice room and went straight for Dr. Morgans room. Dr. Morgan was Lance's father, so he must know about him. She knocked on the door and after a few knocks, he opened. "Come in," the Docter whispered," What can I help you with, Aryanna?"

"Can you, uh, tell me about, Lance?" Aryanna said looking down. A shadowhunter should never look down because of a Werewolf!

"What would you like to know," Dr. Morgan chuckled. "He is a trustable person."

"I don't really know, anything," Ary said, ignoring his last comment.

"Well, he has three siblings," Dr. Morgan smiled," He is the oldest then his two sisters and our youngest child was another boy."

"What's their names," she asked him.

"My wife and I have Lance, Marybeth, Avery and Tallon."

"How did you meet your wife," Aryanna smiled," If you dont mind me asking?"

"She is my mate," Dr. Morgan sighed. "Do they teach you of mates?"

"No," Aryanna laughed," Their is no such thing."

"Oh, but their is." He said, straight faced," Every supernatural being, whether downworlds or of the clave, even some humans. When you find your mate its magical."

"How?" Aryanna whispered.

Just as Dr. Morgan was about to answer, the door swung open and Aryanna's mother Isabelle came in telling her it was time to discuss their wedding. As she made her way out of the room, Aryanna heard Dr. Morgan behind her say slowly, "If their your mate, you will know."

Aryanna thought of this as she sat down at the table. Everyone was asking tons of questions but she could only nod with her head filled with thoughts of another subject jar. She looked up slowly," Father, how do you know if Augustus is my mate?"

Her father was about to answer but Isabelle cut in," Aryanna, their is no such thing. We exist to fight in this everlasting war. Mates, they just don't exist honey."

"What kind of flowers now, dear," Augustus smiled.

"Why don't you try to guess what flowers I want sweet heart"

"White roses"

"Of course" Aryanna said even though she hated them and would have much rather had Azalea's.

"Oh honey look how well they now each other isn't it so sweet." Aryanna's mother said.

"Yes it's lovely."

How Aryanna dreaded it as they picked out their wedding things. She learned something while doing all of those things though Augustus was defiantly not her mate.
