Fixing the last strand of errant hair into an elaborate up-do, Eira sighed. She couldn’t say she’d ever thought she’dd be wearing a wedding dress, even if she’d admired them on all the TV shows she’d watched. As much as it had taken her off guard, and as much as it still seemed odd she needed to wear one, she trusted that Leth knew what he was doing. If he said that it was tradition, then she’d have to trust him.

A rumbling of voices revealed that Josh and Rueben had arrived, and something like butterflies started playing in her stomach. She wasn’t nervous about seeing them as such, more about what they’d think of her in the dress, which was stunningly beautiful she had to admit. Taking a deep breath, she stepped out of her bedroom and into the main room, to find three pairs of eyes immediately fix on hers.

“E, you look…” Josh started, the first to actually respond.

“Beyond stunning,” Rueben added, looking like he was about to storm over to her and ravish her on the spot. She wouldn’t say no if he did.

“You look just as good as I thought you would,” Leth said, making his way over to her and kissing her cheek. “What’s this? Did I hurt you earlier?” he asked, smoothing a gentle finger over her forearm. She looked at where he meant and her stomach sank.

“No, you didn’t,” she answered quietly.

“Then where’s it from, Frostie?” He tried to look in her eyes, but she looked away, refusing to meet them.

“Has it got anything to do with your call earlier?” Josh asked, getting up and walking over to her so that he could look too, Rueben hot on his heels. “Hell, E, it looks like he grabbed you hard.”

“It was a vampire.” Rueben’s statement of fact shocked her, and she looked up to find angry blue eyes boring into hers. “Eira?”

“Yes, it was Edward,” she answered, not looking away from him.

“Fuck, the little—”

“Hey, Rueben, it’s alright. Vampires do dickish shit all the time, so do witches and fae. You can just report him to your Council, right?” Josh asked, and something odd flitted across Rueben’s face.

“You mean Elders,” Leth butted in, but was ignored. Rueben pushed a hand through his hair.

“Can you?” Eira asked softly.

“Sort of, but there’s a couple of problems with that.” He sighed, but none of them said anything as they waited for him to continue. “He is an Elder.”

“What?” Josh demanded, angrier than Eira had ever seen him before, including the time that someone had broken his little sister’s heart. Rueben took a deep breath.

“And so am I.”

She stared at him, not quite sure how to respond. “An Elder?”

“Yes.”

“How old are you?” It wouldn’t change anything, she knew it wouldn’t, but now she was curious.

“A hundred and seventy ish I think. I’m not sure I spent most of the early nineteen hundreds drinking away the memories.”

She pushed past Josh and placed a comforting hand on Rueben’s arm. “I’m sorry.”

“For asking? You have every right to know.
