Chapter 32

Belle

Once our ceremony was complete we had to stand back and watch the others. It was hypnotic, like I was placed under a trance as I watched the other girls descend and seal the bond with their chosen, like a dream I was never going to wake from and one I didn’t want to leave.

My bond with Ash was powerful, every few moments I could feel his presence like a warm caress against my mind, see him looking through my memories and sending me images of our future. One included both of us surrounded by children. Stifling a laugh behind my bouquet, I asked, Just how many kids do you want?

What?  He replied with a sly grin as the image with the children doubled. Is thirty too much?

I choked on air at his response and Annabelle who stood next to me rolled her eyes and thumped me on the back as everyone glanced at me in confusion.

Thirty!? That’s not possible!

Well if we start right away, it is, Ash purred, his lips twitched as Kyle sent him a disapproving glare.

We’re wolves, not fricking rabbits! I groaned and rested my head on Annabelle’s shoulder. She giggled slightly and patted my head.

“Why did I agree to this?” I muttered into her shoulder hearing Ash chuckle softly on the other side of me.

“Regretting your decision,” Annabelle murmured back. “Too late now.”

“He wants thirty kids, Anna,” I groaned.

I had to give it to her, she held her composure for a full moment before cackling so loud that everyone gawked at her. Her shoulders shook so bad that I had to raise my head and she bent over wheezing and pointing at me.

“I...I guess we know who’s gonna be locked up in the kitchen,” she giggled loudly for all to hear. “Or should I say bedroom!”

I felt my face burn with embarrassment as around us everyone fell into little fits of laughter. Maddie was the worst, she stepped out of the line we were in and stared from me to Ash then back to me and said in a deadly serious voice. “You’re naming the first one after me!”

This caused another bout of laughter to fill the room while I hid my face in my hands and glared at her through my fingers.

“What if it’s a boy?” Ash wondered.

“Call him Madock!” Maddie grinned.

“Hell no!” I gasped dropping my hands as around us everyone watched with amusement. “I am not naming my son that!”

“No, you’re going to call him Silver,” Annabelle said dryly.

“Oh!” I screeched rounding on her as the boys chuckled. “I was ten, OK! At least I wasn’t the one who’s gonna name her daughter Mrs Higglebottom!”
