I moved as if hypnotized, unable to take my eyes off of her. Then, something happened that angered me.
“This is impossible.” An exotic looking man with golden eyes and a beautiful mahogany complexion spoke with disbelief, disdain, and anger in his voice.
“How is it impossible?” Joaquin smiled at the man. “This is a wonderful thing to have happened. An event so filled with love that it is spreading to those around us.”
“It is not right that one of us should mate with a shifter. We are not of the same type of people. This is not proper.” His exoticly accented voice was trying to nullify everything that was happening for me.
“Is the Fae Queen against a relationship like this, Breon?” Joaquin asked him, slight anger in his voice.
“She does not usually approve.” The man named Breon answered.
“I admit it has been quite some time since I have met with Gloriana, but when last we spoke she was more open to a new world way of thinking.” Dietrich stood up from the table that I have been sitting at. “I am certain that she would have no problem with the union. The Fae have mixed with humans, why not another powerful species?”
“It has never been done.” Breon told him. “You simply would not understand.”
“I understand more than you think.” Dietrich smiled down at Shawn as he spoke, causing Shawn to blush under his gaze. “I have recently mated within this pack myself.”
“You, Dietrich, the leader of all vampires is allowing yourself to be sullied like this.”
“Breon! Stop this.” The beautiful girl that I couldn’t take my eyes off of yelled. “I am certain that Queen Glory would have no problem with it at all.” She turned and smiled at me then.
“Acacia, you understand nothing.” That was her name? Acacia? So pretty.
“I understand everything Breon. I am the one who feels what the spirits are telling me.”
“I trust in Casey.” Another woman in the group chimed in. “We must follow not just our hearts, but also the whims of the spirits and gods. We are but pawns in this world for them to move at their leisure.”
“Thank you River.” Acacia smiled at her, it seemed Casey was a nickname for her.
“Is this truly what you wish to do? To lower yourself to this point?”
“It seems to me Breon, that you are the only one with a bias here. Believe in the powers that lead us all. That is all we can do, is it not.” Riviana spoke up, unable to remain quiet any longer.
The man Breon looked at my Luna and first love in disbelief. He simply was not understanding it yet.
“How can you all not see what is happening here?” He asked in desperation.
“You have not been mated yet have you Breon?” Breon shook his head. “Then you would not understand the feeling you have when you are with your mate. The sense of completion, the feeling of being at home no matter where you are. You would not understand the longing you feel for that person even with the first meeting. You would not understand the sense of peace you feel when looking at them, seeing the love and adoration you feel reflected back in their eyes as well. I am sorry that you have never felt that, Breon, and I ask the Moon Goddess to help you with finding you mate soon.”
“That may happen sooner than you think.” A strange, gravelly voice spoke out and rang through the entire reception.
Following that the newcomers told us Riviana was the new Luna Queen and Goddess Incarnate. I always knew she was special. But I had a mate now, and she was all I had eyes for.

Breon was still having a fit at the end of the wedding. He kept telling me that there was no way that Queen Gloriana would allow me to mate with a wolf. But there were things he didn’t know. There were things that Breon wasn’t privy to simply because he was not a woman.
Like, he didn’t know that my cousin Aaron had been with a wolf. He was a pixie, unlike me who is a Dryad, but we are both nature Fae and we both mated with a wolf. Well, Aaron less mated and more toyed with one but that’s different. Being a pixie made Aaron a natural trickster.
Mine wasn’t a trick though. I could feel the nature spirits all around me telling me that Cedar was my mate. And just his name fit me so well. Cedar was a type of tree and my names, Acacia and Aspen were both trees as well. We were literally made for each other.
I wished that Breon would just be happy for me. I wished he would just let me live my life the way that I wanted.
The first step was for me to get to know Cedar, and the second step was for me to introduce him to my Queen. I was excited for her to meet him. And I really wanted to tell her that Cedar’s Luna, who just got married at the wedding that I had attended, was a Queen as well. She was the Luna Queen, the Goddess Incarnate. This new development would be amazing and special.
I told Breon I was staying in town following the wedding, that was something that had angered him but he had no choice but to accept it. I saw him and the others off at the door of our hotel room and waited until I could see the man that was my new mate. He had promised me that he was coming to see me the day after the wedding.
I didn’t have to wait long. It was maybe twenty minutes after everyone else left that I heard the knock on the door. I was so excited to see him that I actually jumped off the bed and ran toward the door.
When I pulled the door open I saw him standing there, his handsome face, his gorgeous eyes, and a sweet, sweet smile. I felt myself smile as well and the warmth from the mating began to spread through me.
“Hi.” I said in a breezy voice.
“Hey.” Cedar smiled at me in return. “I was hoping that you would like to go out on a date.”
“Of course.” I grabbed my jacket and purse that were sitting by the door and was out before he had said anything else.
Cedar took my hand naturally and held it all the way out of the building. He led me to a blue car that was parked out front and opened the door for me. So far he was being the perfect gentleman. He drove us out to a remote spot near the river. There was a clearing where the water cut through.
I had just had time to think that it was the perfect place to have a picnic when I saw Cedar pulling a blanket and a basket out of the trunk of his car. He had the same thought I had apparently. I like that we thought alike.
