Prologue: The Wedding

A/N: Comment on anything. It can be random, good, bad (but not mean just to be mean).

Daric's POV:

The sky is beginning to change colors and the air is becoming colder. I wrap my arms around my niece, Theadora, bundled in her warm blanket. The ceremony is about to begin.

It is October, almost a year after the Henrick rogues incident. It has been almost a year since I was kidnapped and tortured because some twisted guy didn't get to meet my uncle, his mate, before he died. Two months ago, I turned 17. That is the age we are old enough to sense our mates. However, I ave not found her yet.

I have four siblings. The youngest is Tyler. He turned two a few months back. Let me tell you, with that kid, I am not looking forward to the terrible threes. He's already loud and asking a lot of questions. Okay, so maybe I am most annoyed because he always asks about the scar on my cheek. I don't talk about. However, he mostly asks Mom and Dad questions now. No complaints here.

The second youngest, and youngest daughter, is Mikena. She is six now. She is a major dad's girl. However, Dad lucked out on her. She is like my older brother in the sense that she loves to learn and is pretty self sufficient. She doesn't ask Dad for too much stuff. Although, she does ask for a lot of his time.

The next kid up the list is my twin sister (although she is day younger than me. She was born just after midnight), Shelby. She is now 17 (duh). She has a mate. They actually found each other last December. I guess most people would say she lucked out, finding her mate so much earlier than most. Her mate's name is Carter. He is the future Beta of the pack and is the same age as Logan, my older brother.

Logan is a year older than me and the future Alpha of the pack. He found his mate, Amanda (same age), who is a halfie (aka half human/half wolf) along with her parents. They stayed with us through the big rogue fiasco. They left a month after that. However, back in April, Amanda became pregnant. She moved back in with us because Alphas are very protective of their mates even before they are carrying their pup. Last month, she gave birth to the bundle in my arms: Theadora. (Werewolf pregnancies only last six months).

Now that she no longer has a swollen stomach, they are getting married. That is where we are right now.

The pack and a few higher ups from other packs are present for Amanda and Logan's marriage. We are standing in the woods in a large clearing. There are two thin openings opposite of each other in the formation. These are where Amanda and Logan will enter at the same time. Amanda will be lead by her father and Logan's. Logan will be lead by his mother and Amanda's. They will meet in the middle of the circle. Only they will be there. Their parents will join the circle. Unlike a human marriage ceremony, there will be no religious leader guiding. They will be doing it by themselves. Also, no best man, maid of honor, etc. will be inside with them. Just the two.

Everyone falls into silence as we hear twigs snapping. Everyone looks between the opening waiting for the couple to walk in. I am standing in the middle of an arch so that we are equally distanced from each opening. They step through.

Logan is in a forest green suit with a tan shirt and a brown tie. It is customary for the groom to wear a green, blue, or brown suit. The colors are an expression of the forest with which we-- werewolves-- live.

Amanda is in a long pale yellow dress. There is flowery lace over the whole A-line dress. The back is open in a 'V'. The bride wears a pale color such as a pink, blue, purple, or yellow-- though not limited to those four-- to symbolize flowers, leaves, or even the stars. She also wears a crown of white and pink flowers on her head.
