Bleeding Moon

Chapter 6: More problems cont'

I was able to calm damien down. It has been weeks since we recieved the threat and we have spent even more time together! The threats made to force us apart have brought us closer together. Tonight my parents have asked me to invite damien for dinner or in my father's exact words " When the Hell are we going to finally meet this vampire Mate of yours?!? I need to see if this is truly your mate! You will bring him for dinner tonight or you'll be sent to the wolf's  school on the reservation! "
It's  the only other place I hadn't been booted from! I didnt want to be surrounded by potential enemies so I agreed to ask damien over.

When damien and I got to our usual lunch table it was time to ask. I looked at him nervously biting my lip and shaking my leg silently mulling over how to ask...damien chuckled and reached out grabbing my hand.
"I would be honored to join you and your family for dinner. The way your dad worked his request was funny!"he said flashing me that million dollar smile that made is dimples pop.

I gasped..."how-" "how did you know what I was thinking!"
"Well ...before we discovered our bond I couldn't  hear your thoughts. It was silent all the time and drove me insane. However after the letter surfaced things changed...I began to feel your emotions  and have been hearing your thoughts occasionally. I can't  hear them all the time. My parents believe  that once we mate and are both marked we will be able to communicate telepathically just like the wolves in a pack since you're a werewolf!" He said with a look of embarrassment.

We finished out the day in a normal fashion but instead of heading to our separate homes I rode with him to his place so he could get changed.
He lived about 20 minutes away from school so by the time we returned to my house it was already dusk.

My parents had made a big deal out of it they even made sure to have blood bags brought from the local blood bank to ensure damien's comfort!
I was shocked they were being so supportive about this seeing as for a huge part of their lives  we were at war with vampires.
We had a lot of normal conversation such as "what are your intentions? How did you know she was your mate?aren't you afraid of this bond being dangerous?". For every question  damien had exactly  the right answer which only caused me to swoon!
At desert  my father asked one last question  ...."so damien, where is your family from and were they ever involved  with the wars?" He asked with a serious  expression  that I had never seen before.

"Well sir we are from Europe.  I spent a bulk of my life in Italy, I was born a vampire not created. My family had no part in any war which made most of the vampire's  we met despise us! We see no reason that there can't be a peaceful resolution and born vampires like those of my family are rare. This makes us outsiders however,  it also gives us the ability to have children and families. If addie and I were to complete our mate bond by making everything official we could bring about and entirely new line!one that has never been seen before. If we were married and had children they would be both Vampire and Werewolf...this could  potentially  end the war but I do feel there would be many on either side that may try to stop us for fear of the unknown!"

Damien took my hand smiling widely. My father stood from his chair at the head of the table and strode over to us taking each of us by the hand, he slowly  smiled and said "I think that all of this is a blessing and after your parents give their  approval  I would be happy to see you both married here in our home. It is long over due to have a celebration  and the possibility  of not only your life together but the peace that could come with it is more than enough to celebrate"
My father's hazel eyes met mine as my heart raced and I jumped into his arms to hug him like a child. Damien laughed at my display  towards  my father and decided we should meet his parents the next day.

His mother had eyes dark as night with hair so blonde it looked like it was white and his father was a well built man that looked almost like damien's twin. The dinner went well and we were able to walk away with everyone's blessing in Hope's of better lives and peaceful  futures.
