“I would like to go see your parents sometime soon, with you there if that is possible.”
“Well, you already met our parents, twice, but if you want to do it again, then that’s fine. I can get something ready for tomorrow or the day after.”
“Thank you Shane.”
“No worries, I will text you when it’s all set.”
“I will be waiting.”
I wanted to officially announce our engagement to his family, and of course to his Alpha and Luna. I don’t have any family left, but I will announce our engagement to our people. Ha, it’s going to be a trip for them when they hear me through a mental link.
When I snuck back into the bedroom Shawn was still sleeping. I crept to his side and knelt on the floor beside him. With a quick kiss to his cheek I roused him from his sleep. The sleepy look in his eyes was so sweet and endearing.
“Hmm, Dietrich? What’s going on.”
“I wanted to be the first thing you saw this morning, my love.” I kissed him again.
“When we get married you will be the first thing I see every day.”
“Sometimes, the things you say are just the sweetest things in the whole world.”
“They might stay sweet, as long as you have a good reason for waking me up so early.” He was so cute when he joked like that.
“I have something for you my love.”
“What’s that?”
He was blinking the sleep out of his eyes now, waking more fully. Without another word I took the ring from my pocket into my right hand and grabbed his left hand in mine. I pulled his hand toward me and slid the ring onto his ring finger all in the same smooth motion.
“What’s this?” He said when I released his hand.
“The ring I was going to use to propose to you with. But you beat me to the punch.”
“You were going to ask me to marry you?” He looked so surprised, too surprised, to hear those words.
“I wanted nothing more than to marry you, Geliebte, and I am beyond ecstatic that you asked me. You may not have been as prepared as me, but you love me just as much as I love you, and that is what matters.”
“I was just happy that you said yes.” He looked away from me sheepishly then, seemingly worried about what he was saying.
“Did you really think I would say no?”
“For a minute I did.”
“I love you too much for that, Liebling, I love you more than life itself.”
“I love hearing you say that.”
Our morning went wonderfully, with a little extra dessert that we must have had left over from the night before. And I had received word from Shane that we could meet with their parents in a few days, after the funeral.
When we finally went to see them, to tell them that we were getting married, it went better than I could have expected. Shane was more supportive than Shawn had thought he would be, which was good. He didn’t even crack a joke that day. And they were all quite accepting of Shawn having become a Hybrid. Given that it was either I could change him or I could let him die it was a pretty convincing sell.
Honestly, what surprised them the most was that I was no longer the Vampire Emperor but now the King. I was really happy, all things considered, that day had gone very well. And we were set to get married the first weekend of August.
We were planning a simple ceremony. Something small with just Shawn’s family, Riviana and Joaquin, and Gabriel from the Sentinelle acting as the justice of the peace. It was going to be small and intimate. And we were getting married in the mountains at our spot. I couldn’t wait for that day to come.
Also, the house I was having built for the two of us to live in would be done sometime in the next month or so. We should be able to move in shortly after our honeymoon.

Things were all coming up aces for us right now. Since the battle with the Warlock and I had almost died. Ever since that day I was a changed man, literally. I had asked Dietrich to marry me, I lost another form of my virginity, and we had set a date for our wedding.
Now all we had to do was make the preparations.
We were having a small, intimate wedding so there wasn’t much to plan. But there was a small reception being held at the pack estate afterward.
Dietrich was ordering new tuxedos for us, and I just about died when he told me that they cost over forty thousand dollars each, which was apparently twice as much as the suit I had worn to Riviana and Joaquin’s wedding. If I had known that I was wearing something so expensive at the time I probably would have had a heart attack. But strangely, I was getting more and more OK with it. I mean, I had already done it once right.
We were at a bakery now though, trying to find a dessert for the wedding reception. And for some reason, Shane was with us.
Shane had been relatively better since I became a Hybrid, he didn’t joke about me as much, and he was truly happy for me when he found out Dietrich and I were getting married. But I just knew something was going to give soon.
