Aku's POV

She is so beautiful. My lune, my U-da-li-i. She was too tired and slept to realize that we're sitting near the fire, cuddling in each other's arm. Her one hand on my bare chest and the other, intertwined with mine. Is this how everybody felt around their mates? Thank-you Oh moon god, for bringing her back to me. What I'll not do for her to cuddle with me willingly?

Not that I'm complaining this precious moment, but hoping she won't try to run away once she knows her value in my life. So far all good.

Baku came towards me with a smile on his face and crouched infront of us. He was happy for me, I can see that. "Nina agreed for Waya to claim her. Tomorrow's the wedding ceremony. Grandmother said, your Hé'e needs to be there too." I nodded my head in understanding. Our claiming ceremony are very sacred and no outsiders are allowed, but as Jaci is my mate, she has to walk with me and stand by me throughout the ritual.

Baku smirked with his eyebrows wiggling. "Coming full moon, it's your turn. I hope she gives you a hard time." he said chuckling. I offered him a fake glare and smiled down at my sleeping moon. How am I going to explain it to her about our rituals and customs? Will she except me as her Hetane her U-ye-hi ? "You're overthinking Misun. She is destined to be your soulmate. The sprits have united your souls again after 20 years for a reason.

Believe me Aku, your bond is stronger than you think. Everyone is talking about how they have never heard the moon god communicated with us directly to save an outsider. Trust me, no one can separate you two. She's your's and your's only. And by the way, we are Hetane. We are supposed to win our bride's heart. You have to woo her Misun. Be a man." he said, nudging my stretched leg a bit. I nodded my head and looked back at the mother of my future children.

A smile kept on my face when Baku laughed, knowing how whipped I'm already. "There you go. I got food for you guys. "Malia said, bringing two bowls of food. She smiled at us, but when her eyes fell on Jaci in my arms, she frowned. I can understand her pain. I unnecessarily lead her on, even though I didn't make any false promises. Actually I never thought, I would find my mate ever and that is why, I never stopped her advances on me.

She looked at me hurt, then turned around and left. I sighed as Baku started eating, not at all bothered by Malia's reaction. I wish, I was a little bit like him. Carefree, but I'm the Chieftain of my clan. I can't ignore my people, when they are in pain. I'll talk to her later, after the ceremony. Jaci stirred in my arms. Baku paused his eating and looked at her blinking. She opened her beautiful hazel eyes to meet mine.
