Korwait sat with his soon-to-be family member. “So, Niyu, are you ready to be a family?”

General Niyu Haynin smiled shyly, her scarred face glowing with happiness. “I am more than ready. Hargu has run out of reasons to delay.”

Korwait laughed. “You agreed to have the first child then?”

Niyu smiled. “I did, and the next day, our engagement was official. I have to say that I am excited at the idea of being a mother, now that I have gotten used to it.”

Korwait leaned back and grinned. “She has always been stubborn. I have been waiting for her to be settled before I found my own match, so I will tell you, I am relieved.”

Niyu served him a glass of water, and she sat back with her own. “Do you have someone in mind?”

“Six months ago, I ended up on Yaccaro, retrieving a politician who had offended enough of the population to require extraction. There was a seer there who painted me a portrait of my mate-to-be, and I have to admit, I was rather surprised?”

“Something with claws?”

“No. A new species to our space. A female of incredible beauty and incredible damage.” He sighed and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “I have no idea how long it will take to court her.”

“You are running out of time, old wolf.”

He chuckled and shifted his features to his Kozue form, his wolf head, his Nikowaik form and a dozen others before resuming the face she was familiar with. “I am only as old as I choose to be, Niyu. You are joining the family. I thought you should know.”

Niyu gulped some of her water. “I thought you were just aging gracefully. You look the same as when I met you a decade ago.”

“It is a matter of record, but few bother to look it up. I am Nishan and thought that the older appearance would be more...accepted by the locals. It worked.”

Niyu laughed. “It did. Now, what do you know about your future bride?”

“She is currently getting your bride dressed. That reminds me. Into your uniform. You are getting married in an hour.”

Niyu grinned and got to her feet, taking her dress uniform off the rack next to her. “Thanks for the reminder. Go and change yourself.”

Chuckling to himself, Korwait put on the formal robes of the official, and he checked the fit. He shifted himself until the fit was perfect. Gaze may have been born stunning but he had to keep his body in check.

He helped Niyu Haynin settle her uniform tunic and the wedding drape. She was biting her lip, and he patted her shoulder. “You look beautiful, Niyu. You are a welcome addition to the family.”

The general swallowed and smiled weakly. “I hate crowds.”

“This isn’t a crowd, this is a celebration. You two are embarking on a new life together.”

The general smiled and paced slowly back and forth for half an hour until the gong brought her head up with a jerk.

Korwait smiled. “It is time.
