Chapter Sixteen

Mel was nervous as she waited with Snow at one of the back gates leading into Reservation. Every minute seemed to drag by forever. Their ceremony was going to start in an hour. It would barely leave her time to put on her dress and get ready.

“She’ll arrive,” he promised, keeping his arm around her.

“I hope so.”

“Are you sure I should be here with you? One of my friends could have escorted you. Tradition says it’s bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony.”

“No way was I going to sleep without you last night, now that you’re mine, and Mary said she trusts you to keep her safe.” Mel pulled out her new cell phone and pulled up the text. “See? I mean, she worded it differently, but she said she’d be here.”

Snow read the text out loud. “I get it, Mel. He won’t let anyone maul me because he loves you. Why can’t I get drunk first again? Oh, right. I can’t drive, and it would take forever for me to stumble to where we’re meeting up. I’m leaving now. I’m going to imagine they are all naked or something. That should help, right?”

Mel looked away from the phone and spotted movement on the road. “She’s coming! I see her.”

“We’ll hide,” a New Species called from the upper wall.

She turned to flash them a smile. “Thank you!”

Snow chuckled. “This has to be a first for the NSO. We usually show a strong front to humans who visit, to intimidate them into behaving. Now they are hiding to avoid frightening your friend.”

“I appreciate it, too.” Mel shoved the phone into pocket. “Hide your fangs and try not to growl. It’s sexy as can be, but Mary…”

“I understand.”

She flashed him a smile. “Sorry, baby.”

“I love when you call me an endearment.”

“Even when I called you a sexy beast in the shower this morning?”

“Especially then. That was my favorite so far.”

Mary pulled her car up and parked it on the side of the road. She wore the pretty cream-colored dress Mel had ordered for her. It had arrived in time by mail. She also noticed that her best friend hadn’t put on much makeup, and her normally puffy hair was a little tamer. It made her love Mary even more. She might be scared, but she’d listened when Mel told her about New Species being bothered by certain smells.

“You came! Thank you!” She pulled away from Snow and rushed to Mary, giving her a hug.

“I love you,” Mary whispered. “I love you so much, this proves it.” She nervously glanced at Snow. “Swear to me I’m going to be safe.”

“Species would never harm you, Mary. You have my word, and that of the entire NSO.”

Mary gave a jerky nod. “Okay. Pretending they’re naked.” Then she blushed and glanced up. “Not you, Snow. Just everyone else. It would be wrong if I imagined you without your clothes, since you’re going to be like a brother-in-law to me.”

“Tina, is that you?” Mel couldn’t resist.
