Please enjoy I look forward to hearing your comments. Be prepared for some interesting turns of events. * * * * * Time: Modern day. Ari sat in front of her computer screen looking at the architectural designs of the building yet in the back of her mind she was thinking of the other building. The one in all her dreams, the one in Scotland, why was it that since she could remember this and other scenes plagued her dreams or even her waking thoughts? Ari shook her head to clear her thought and went back to the task as hand which was making sure the design was flawless before presenting it to the customer. Ari was a successful woman in the world of building design she worked for the family company call Black Wolf Designs Inc. She was V.P along with her brother since their father and mother past. There father did not last long maybe 5 years after the car crash that took his beloved Rosalina's life that snowy night 10 yrs ago. He had not been gone 5yrs yet but it was not so far off in the imitate future, that her and Antonio were going to go back to Italy where they were buried and visit. Maybe she would make a stop in Scotland and see if she could find the house, well more of a castle one would guess it would be. See if she could put a puzzle together as to why all this was happening. Maybe? Ari started making the plans already booking flights to Italy and to Scotland. Making reservations at hotels, rental cars all the things needed to get this thing all set and ready to go. Once done she sent the e-mail to Toni, the searched out all she could about the surround area she was going to go visit, before she got there as she was not one that liked to be caught off guard. She downloaded some reading material about the history of Scotland, she spent the next while after doing her work reading, basically she took the rest of the of the day off. By the time 5p.m came around Ari had learnt about as much as she could from the net about where she was going now it was a matter of getting there was all. She left work to meet Toni for dinner at Tavern on the Green, it was 630 by the time she got there, and he was waiting for her at their normal table. She wore a simple black silk cocktail dress with an over coat, while he was wearing his black Armani suit. He stood up from the he seat and hugged her, kissed her cheek then held the chair out for her to sit in, then retook his own. "Ari you always look so wonderful in that dress", he smiled at her as he had always liked that dress on her. The waiter came with their drinks as Toni had ordered a head a time. "I got your mail today; I was thinking, why don't we, go a lil early take like a mini vacation. BW is doing well and there are others that can take up the slack not that there is much. Wha'cha think there sparky?" Ari added sugar to her ice tea as Toni spoke to her about the trip. She smiled at him and sipped her ice tea. "Toni I think I would like that a lot, when do you wanna leave, like you said we are all caught up on the drafts and anything could be handled by the others." "Well I was thinking all day on it * as he spoke he pulled out something from his pocket* I was sure you would say that so I went and bought the tickets. We leave at 5 am tomorrow, I went home and packed for the trip so all you have to do is pack your bags get some sleep and we are off. How's that for efficient work?" he chuckled as he drank his scotch and water. Ari just could not help but laugh, Toni had always been one step ahead of her on some things as she had been thinking the same thing as he produced the tickets. She put her hand out, touched his, and gave it a squeeze. "What would I do with out you cookie monster?" she laughed as that had been her child hood name for him as he was always into the cookie jar at home and even now all grown up he was still a cookie stealer. "Well princess we would be lost with out each other" he took her hand and kissed the back of it. "We are all the family we have left just you and I Ari I won't let anything happen to you I swear on my life Ari, on my life. There is no one more in the world more important to me then you." Ari look at him with deep concern she just held his hand with hers, he was all she had left .The were close they had always been close even as infants she was always told if they were separated they were just unhappy as long as they were with in reach they were happy. When Ari was 7 or 8 months she got sick and had to be hospitalized no matter what was done she seemed just to stay stable till one night her father brought her brother to the hospital and laid him in the crib next to her, against the Dr's orders, the nurses on duty helped her father bring Antonio in, after about 4 or so hours Ari was starting to respond to the treatment. That is how close they were. It was amazing that two siblings could be so close and not be at each others throats fighting and tormenting the other, even thought he was older then her by a year, he had always been there protecting her and it made her feel safe and sound knowing he was there. They talked about the trip while they ate dinner and desert, talked about work as well and what big deals were coming up, then they went for a walk in the park, he hailed a handsome cab and they went for a night ride around the park and back to where they could get a yellow cab and go home for the night as they had a early day she would as it were barely get 6 hours sleep as it was.. Ari and Toni lived in a penthouse in Manhattan, it was big enough for them to be together but apart and have privacy if they needed, like Toni and his girlfriend, or is that girlfriends? That man had more women in his life then she could keep track of, he was such a wolf she swore it. She packed for the trip then went to bed she was asleep in no time almost when her head hit the pillow she was zonked out. Like so many nights before she started dreaming of a man tall, jet black hair, piercing blue eyes a strong body wearing a kilt and tartan in front of a huge window. Though this time something was different, this time he spoke to her. "Come Bella Mia you need to wake it is time for us to be together". He came close to her, put his hand to her face, leaned down, and kissed her, Ari was watching as if out of her self. He was tender yet so hungry for her kiss she could not tear her self away from it. Soon she was up swept into his arms and taken to a huge 4 poster bed which seemed to come out of thin air, it was draped in black and red curtains and bed coverings. Ari's eyes seemed glue to what she was watching, who ever this man was she had seen him all her life it was as if he grew up with her in her dreams. He caressed her face then slowly moved his hand down her length taking in the curves of her body under his huge hands. Their eyes never leaving each others as his hands roamed with out hindrance from her. She left her body to him like of in a trance, lost in his eyes. "Bella you have to wake, it is time, I am waiting for you I have missed you so much, come back to me Bella Mia." With that he leaned in and gave her a searing kiss, soon after that she felt the hardness of his body crushing to her stealing her breath, but in such a way it did not worry her not to breath. He laid himself between her thighs, while his hands pulled at the fabric of her clothing and tore it away from her sensual form. She heard the tearing of the material and whimpered into the kiss as her hands reached into his hair to pull him closer, the kiss never stopping, while his hands shredded her clothes. Soon she was naked under him and his mouth halted its attack on her lips just to continue on other parts of her body drinking in the heat of her flesh as if tasting her, feeding off of the burning desire raging under the surface. "yesss "she softly hissed as his head began to move lower over her swelled breasts, his mouth feasting on the succulent tender yet hard nipples that moments ago had been grazing his barreled chest. Her back came off the bed in a slender arch feeding them to him. Her head pressed into the pillows as fingers stayed in his hair guiding him, or was it the other way around. She could feel it burning in her stomach, that need the sense of urgency as if she did not give in to it she would burst into flames. Ari let her fingers slip away from him as his body slowly slid across hers and down lower till his head was above the soft dark neatly cut curls of her crotch. "I want you I want to taste you so long has it been ". He gently nudged her long legs apart giving him what he wanted willingly. Her eyes rolled back in her head as she felt the heat of his breath puffing on her tender skin. Suddenly she felt as if she had been struck by an electric shock when his rough tongue took a slow deliberate swipe over her slit as if he were savoring her taste. Her hands grabbed at the bed as she moaned loud just at that one touch, but it was not the last. Soon his tongue was licking slowly from bottom to top only to torment her already throbbing clit. He could smell her scent it had not changed he knew it was her, his mouth sucked on her clit with a firm but tender touch that is made her twist her hips, which he promptly grabbed and held her in place as his tongue beat the nub with fast strike like the tongue of a snack sensing the heat around it, locating its prey. He licked slowly and savored the sweetness of her juices as her body churned more and more. The fire growing as if a blaze being feed more fuel, it was what he wanted. He wanted her in frenzy, a passionate lust filled craze. He would not relent his devouring of her sweet spot, soon his tongue slapped hard against her clit making her almost buck off the bed with the jolts of lust he was driving into her. He held her tight to his staving mouth letting his tongue slapped its rough surface to the soft fleshy bit in his mouth making her gasp with need. He knew the need she felt, it was his doing. Soon they would be together again and he would reclaim his beloved, his life his reason for existing so long in this dreary world of ours. With one fast hard suckle and a few fast hard strokes of his tongue he pushed her over the edge, making her lust yield to his want of her. Soon he could hear her sweet screams as his mouth was touched with the sweet hot juices as her orgasm ripped through her like a bursting damm. She writhed under him screaming in pleasure as she felt the deep exploding inside her as she came in what felt like a gushing geyser popping after a tremendous build up of pressure finally let go. He feed on her ever drop, the sweat tang of her juices just made him drive his tongue into her more as if fucking her with it, wanting her to cum again and again he could not get enough of her. Ari's scream though not one of panic roused Toni from a dead sleep and he came rushing into her bed room and grabbed her waking her from her dream. Her eyes opened with a snap, she was panting madly and her whole body shook from well something. "Ari!" he said with a loud firm tone 'Wake up you were having some sort of dream, you screamed it woke me up, you all right?" he questioned her as he looked into her eyes wondering what in her dream made her scream like that. Ari looked at him and shook her head some, she spoke softly "No Toni.* she paused* fine really I don't know what made me scream. I'm sorry I woke you..go back to bed" she said as she caressed his cheek assuring him she was fine. But, he could feel the tremble in her hands but he would not press it. For as long as he could remember she always had rousing dreams, dreams that would make her sleep walk or talk in her sleep. "alright princesses but if you can't sleep come get me I'll make you some of the tea you like, hmm" * he kissed her forehead and then looked at her. He slightly raised a brow as he caught scent of her. The scent of sex that sweet smell woman have after having mind blowing sex. It accrued to him now why she screamed. She had a wet dream as it were, something so powerful it made her body react in the real world not just the dream world. "go wash your face and try and go back to sleep we have an early day." Was all he said as he left the room with a wicked smile on his face, he could use this to playfully tease her later on. Once he had left her room Ari slipped out of bed, her legs a bit shaky nothing like any thing she had felt. Despite the fact she was still a virgin Ari was not with out her means of self pleasure. She knew the feeling between her legs she was drenched like noting before. Had her dream been SOOOOO real? Well her body thought so. Instead of washing her face she turned on the water and took a relaxing shower. Soon the steam was filling the room and her muscles began to calm, from there tense state, she leaned her head on the cold of the porcelain tiles and sighed as the hot water ran down her back making her body just loosen up and go limp. While there she started thinking about her dream how real it felt worse how exploding that orgasm was in her mind that she actually came so hard for real. It just amazed her how it happened. Who was he why had he always been in her dreams always so familiar but yet so far away like if he was something from her past. But...Why..??

Chapter 2 Morning came and they were off to the Airport. After getting the bags checked and rechecked and their tickets stamped and all that stuff the went to sit in the lounge, the plane was not leaving for some time but they wanted to be early better that then late as they say. Toni looked at Ari and sipped the coffee he got from the waitress. "Sooooooo sleep better after your little um bad dream?" Toni was playing coy but it was gonna be fun to get his teases in He watched her face start to get warm. "You sure screamed awful louuuuuuud there last night, if I didn't know any better I would have thought you were having a go with some hunk in your room. You didn't like throw him out did ya?" he so tried to not giggle, but it slipped thru any way. Ari looked at her brother and threw a napkin at him. "Dam it your evil, it would not be any different that the thousands of nights I have heard you humping who or who's ever in your room." She quipped back at him with out thought. Toni smiled and looked at her. "Well least you got a good earful and know your big brothers a hot stud in the bed room." He winked at her, and all she did was laugh at his comment. She sipped her coffee; he was, well a hotty even if he was her brother. She could not deny he had a tight hard body from working out all the time. In and out of bed as it were, she chuckled silently to her self. The time passed quickly before the flight was called. Now here came the tough part, Ari was a strong willed woman little bothered her except being in a confined space. Well like planes for one, she and Toni got on board before most the others. After parents with children and the elderly and those with special needs, she and Toni boarded she always got the window seat. One thing nice about this flight was there were not many people in first class which was nice to say the least, there was herself and Toni and one other woman. After the pre flight speech from the attendant and all they took off things were going well she was calm and relaxed she had taken something to help her nerves while she was gonna be in air for 16 hours. The time passed and Ari fell asleep some time around 10 a.m. when she was totally asleep, Toni on the other hand was chit chatting with the hot looking brunette that was in first class with them. "So your going to Scotland?" he asked her politely of course. "Aye, I am," she said with this Scottish accent that just made Toni wanna drool all over himself but being the guy he was that would never happen outwardly. But inside he was just burning, his blood was just starting to churn, that fire that was always inside him ever since he could remember he always felt it. It was easy to just get any girl and fuck her till she passed out but Toni wasn't the kinda guy. He loved women there was no doubt about it but he was picky and he respected women. Something his mother and father taught him from a young edge. "I am Antonio Logan Selvaggio, and you are?" "Gavina Bryus, It is a pleasure to meet you Antonio Logan Selvaggio." She gave him a smile and her hand to shake which he did. They talked for what seemed for hours there was something about her that made him so comfortable and at ease to talk to her about everything and anything. They spoke of why and where they were both going and about Ari and her need to go to Scotland. Gavina seemed to hang onto ever word he was saying as if she had some vested interest in what he was telling her. Lunch time came around and Toni woke Ari from her sleep so she could eat. He introduced her to Gavina and they all enjoyed a nice lunch together. All the time Ari watched her brother and this well stranger interact with each other and it was all too weird that they seemed to be getting along so well as if they had knew each other for years. They chit chatted about this that and the other thing when Gavina spoke up and began to tell Ari and Toni about some things in Scotland. "Logan says you're going to Italy first then coming to Scotland, you'll love it there. There is no other place as beautiful as Scotland rain or shine hot or cold." She smiled at Ari as she sipped her tea. "Logan?" she chuckled. "I haven't heard him called that before except when our parents were mad at him and called him by his full name. That's when I knew he was in for it." "I like the name Logan I asked if he would not mind me calling him that, you don't mind do you?" "Nae its fine, just don't call him late for dinner. He eats like a wolf." With that Toni barked at his sister playfully, to which she answered. "Sit, down boy" then laughed. They all laughed then Gavina told Ari and Toni about an old folklore story just to pass the time wile in route to the first stop which happened to be London, there people would change flights to go where ever it was they were going. She began her tale with the words. "When I was a young lass my granny used to tell me about the wolves and why they were so protected by some people in Scotland. It is said that many years ago they roamed all over Scotland, like people do now. There were more wolves at one time then there were humans. There was a tale that once they ruled much of Europe, as Werewolves." "Werewolves, there's no such thing." Ari commented. "Well ok in stories and in movies but those are fiction" "Oh not it's true that there was more wolves then humans at one time, and as far as the other." Gavina just shrugged. "I guess each of us believe what we want. I like the stories most about the werewolves that lived live in Scotland about 300 yrs ago or so. It is said that the sprites of those that lived among us still linger waiting for some one to return, some one destine to bring them back from their long sleep in the other world." She smiled as she spoke. She sat back in her chair after kicking off her shoes and curling her feet up under her. "They say that the leader is waiting for his beloved wife to come back, seems she died in a horrible fight between clans, so the story goes. Seems the McCloud and Colinsforth clans had a huge war and she was caught in the middle. The story goes that this Italian Lady of state married into a well to do family, the McCloud's. Seems the lady and the Lord Duncan were childhood sweethearts. Lady Revali and Lord Duncan were married on the castle grounds in summer at night they say under a full moon. Sounds terribly romantic" Ari got a chill down her spine when she heard the name Duncan; it was like she knew that name but, she did not know any one by that name. She listened to the tale as Gavina went on to tell about the tale about how some time later about 5 years or so there was a major fight between Lord Duncan and Lord Colinsforth, which brought around the untimely death of the lady. "What was the woman's name Gavina?" Ari asked of the new friend they had made. "No one is allowed to speak her name it is an old tradition, out of respect I guess. But, she is only known as Lady Bella." Ari about went pale when she heard that, it was the same name from her dreams. She felt her body get cold all of a sudden, she got up and excused her self and went to the ladies room to wash her face with some warm water. Once in side she could see her hands were shaking. What the hell was going on, it was like some one stuck her in ice or something. She ran the water till it got warm and then washed her face and hands. Slowly the chill went away and she went back to her seat where Toni and Gav were still talking. Toni looked at his sis and went to her he took her hands in his and rubbed them gently. "Hey, what's the matter you look like you saw a ghost." He whispered so only she could hear him. "Nothing, just got the chill's is all I'll be fine. I think I am gonna take a nap, maybe I am just over tired from last night" He smiled and chuckled. "Well hot wild sex makes one tired," he could not help but joke he tried to make her feel at ease. "Just get some shut eye you'll feel better princess." He leaned up gave her a soft kiss and pulled a blanket down along with the pillow from the over head and tucked her in as it were. Toni went and sat on the other side of the cabin with Gavina and talked more. The time passing by as they spoke about each others pasts, interests, and such, while on the other side Ari slept and dreamt, and yes she dreamt of him. Her dream started like all the rest, like she was watching some romantic movie of her own device. A myst started forming about her feet though this time it was different now she could hear the sounds of water running like a stream or brook. She turned to see where the sound was coming from and there he was standing almost right behind her looking into her eyes. He was drop to your knees and thank god for men gorgeous. She could not stop looking at his blue eyes; they were like warm Caribbean waters, warm soft and totally looking right into her soul. He reached out and grabbed her with paw like hands that were some what rough yet gentle at the same time. He pulled her to him leaving his bare chest to press to her, while his arms held her fast and secure. Soon his lips captured hers in a fiery, blazing hot kiss that struck her to the core. Her hands grabbed at his huge biceps and held on to him, she could not stop him from taking this kiss, and she found her self giving into this stranger in her dreams. She could feel her knees go weak under her, and with a blinding move she was in his arms as he carried her to the waters edge. He laid her down in the grass there, but when she saw the face of her own self it wasn't her own, it was the face of some one she had never seen before. Who was this woman she saw, it surely wasn't her, but the woman was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen with dark thick curls, tanned light honey colored skin doe like eyes like the deep earth on a spring morning, eyes that you could easily get lost in forever. "Bella Mia, I have missed you so much, my life as been empty with out you in it to give me life, to give me a reason to live." He said in hushed tones. "Oh my beloved, it will not be long till you can hold me in your arms again and we can be together. I have missed my wolf as he has missed his Bella." With that she pulled him to her and kissed him passionately, her fingers in his hair pulling him to her. He crushed her sweet body under his own pressing hard to her. Soon both were locked in a passionate embrace. Ari found that she could not look away even if she wanted, something held her gaze. All of a sudden she heard the sound of weeping and cries of utter despair, there in front of her where the lovers had been was now a grave surrounded by a ton of people. The dark haired man knelt by the coffin there, beside him was an older woman and man and a rusty redheaded guy. All three had a hand laid to the kneeling mans shoulders, he weep like a child that had lost his parents, but he had not. A priest stood by and read the benediction of burial over the coffin of this person. Ari found her self moving towards the group; there on the grave stone she saw whom the burial was for. There carved in white and black Italian marble was the name Lady Castalena Revali-McCloud Loving wife, Niece, and Beloved Friend In memory of my Beloved wife Bella My one and only forever Love Ari felt her heart drop from her chest she had this overwhelming feeling of despair and emptiness as the coffin was lowered into the soft earth, then slowly people seemed to gently throw dirt into the grave, then they moved off slowly and the sounds of sobs could be heard clearly. As the night fell a lone black wolf padded its way into the grave yard, it made its way to the fresh grave where it laid down on the fresh turned soil and whimpered then out of no where it let out the most mournful cry she had ever heard, it was so sad that it broke even her own heart, she felt a tear fall from her eyes as the wolf lay down on the grave again its head resting on the dirt. Thing went dark after that for Ari, she must have slipped into a deeper sleep or something because the dream faded. While Ari was dreaming away Toni and Gavi were getting shall we dare say a bit friendlier with each other. Soon there was a spark between them and Toni could not help him self he leaned over and put his hand behind Gavi's neck and pulled her to him for a sultry breath taking kiss that seemed to last forever. It was a heart pounding kiss; something was waking in him, some inner beast that just woke out of no where with her. He broke the kiss and looked into her eyes, he whispered softly to her. "I don't know what it is about you but it's as if I have known you, and I want you." His voice seemed to get a rather deep tone even in his hushed whisper. She caressed his face with her soft fingers. "I don't understand it my self it is as if I was looking for my other half and then you came in and filled the void, my heart has never beat so fast before just from a kiss but it's electrifying." She looked at him and smiled, then was pulled to him again and into another kiss this time Toni's other hand pulled her body to him and into his lap, grasping her by the tight round globes of her perfect ass. His vibrations into her lips were like feral growls coming deep from in his chest. His breathing got harder and deeper the more he kissed her. Suddenly he broke the kiss and looked at her. "Ever been part of the Mile High club?" he grinned with a wickedly naughty smile. "No, why you asking if I want to join it?" she chuckled back an answer. "Go to the bathroom and wait for me I am going to check on Ari then I'll show you a wild ride baby." His words filled her with a liquid heat she had never had before. She got off his lap thinking good thing they were in first class and had a private lavatory. Toni watched her go and already his cock was so hard he could pound nails with it. Moving over to the other side he checked on Ari to make sure she was ok and still sleeping, then went to the bathroom, sadly this was going to be a quickie but it was going to be a mind blowing one. He stepped into the bathroom and she was sitting on the sink looking at him, he wasted no time, he moved up between her long legs, pushed her skirt up, grabbed her ass again, and pulled her to the edge. When his hands came up under her skirt he was surprised to find she wasn't wearing any under ware. He smiled and pulled her closer to him, and kissed her neck as he felt her hands grab at his hair and pull him to her. His hands left her ass and undid the zipper of his jeans letting them fall to the floor, once his jeans were gone her legs wrapped around his hips. Toni groaned and pushed himself into her with a hard fast thrust pulling her ass to him at the same time making it hard for her to get away. She threw her head back and moaned behind a hard bit lip, her silken and wet slit tighten around his cock throbbing and aching to be filled to the hilt with him. Her moan made him growl into her neck, almost biting her soft flesh, but he just gave it a hard nip. He could feel her hips rocking against him as she fucked him back as his thrust's got harder and deeper and faster, his need to be in her great that it drove him wild. In a whisper she spoke in his ear as she kissed his neck. "Fuck me harder Logan, deep and hard baby fill me with that hard cock." That was more then enough to make Toni just bang into her as hard as he could. Her body jerked as he slammed into her as hard as possible given the place they were screwing around in, Toni's growls got deeper and a bit louder as he got closer to cumming inside her. Her moans became whimpers and soft cries as her body started to tighten and shake, Toni bucked herder into her pushing her to the breaking point of cumming right there in a place they could get caught. "Cum Gavi, cum with me baby!" he growled into her neck biting her a bit harder then before. He heard her scream into his neck so no one would hear her scream, just then her body let go and her climax hit so hard her whole body shook with vengeance as Toni's cock just exploded inside her, filling her with his hot sticky seed. Toni's growls being muffled in the crook of her neck, surprisingly he bit her hard enough he drew blood. His tongue swiped over the trickle of blood and groaned more, her muffled cries echoed in his ears making his hips thrust harder into her. Slowly their bodies' clamed and her legs relinquished their hold on him. His hands held her hips still as he raised his head and looked at her, he wanted to say sorry for biting her so hard but the look on her face and in her eyes gave him the notion that that bite was nothing to worry over. His cock twitched in her quivering dripping slit making her gasp ever so softly. "Logan, that was incredible. I have never cum so hard before." She smiled at him, her hips moving in his hands. "Gavi, I don't know what came over me I have never had such a need hunger or want as I have with you." He spoke in soft words so no one would hear them, but his head turned as he heard something. He whispered in her ear softly. "Hurry some ones coming I'll leave first" with that he pulled and zipped his jeans up and scooted out the door before the attendant made it to first class. The attendant makes it to first class and smiles. "Is there anything I can get you sir?" she asked him sweetly. "Yes, when's dinner?" It was about 4 or 5 at night US time and his stomach was growling. "That's what I came to inquire if you and the others were ready for some dinner." "Yes, please that would be great thanks." He said to her with a nice smile as he saw Gavi coming from the bathroom looking like she had been washing her hands or something, she was throwing a paper towel away. Toni just had to hide a chuckle as the attendant asked Gavi what she wanted to eat. Once she had the orders she went to the galley and prepared the dinners. Ari work just in time for dinner. She looked over and saw her borther and Gavina smiling about something, what were they gloating as it were about? A Scottish Werewolf's Love Book 02 Ch. 03 ****I want to thank every one for the feedback and sorry that this has taken so long in coming. Real life seems not to like to wait for us writers *LOL* I hope like the others you all enjoy this next chapter in the saga. Thank you all once again.**** Scottish Were Wolf and the Italian Lady They finally landed in Scotland and meeting them at the Airport was Gavina, as she promised when she talked to Toni the night before. It was a surprisingly sunny day in Scotland for that time of year. Gavina picked them up at 10 a.m. when their flight arrived. She waited down stairs for them both by the baggage claim area. She wore blue jeans and a green sweater, boots her hair pulled back in a ponytail tied up with a green ribbon. She scanned the crowd as they came down to the claim area but nothing. Had she made a mistake on the flight or time? Finally, she saw them, she made her way up and hugged and kissed them both. "Welcome to Scotland!" She boldly exclaimed with that sweet accent of hers that just made Toni's blood race. Smiling broadly at them both, they walked off arm in arm to the luggage turntable. She explained them she had made plans for them to visit the Castle when they were rested, the next day while Toni grabbed the bags then they all headed off to her car. They drove for almost two hours to get to the quiet lil sleepy town where Gavina's family lived, she figured they would enjoy the countryside more then the City. Hoping the peace and beauty would wash away the dreariness of New York City. As they drove, Toni and Gav talked about this that what he and his sister did while in Italy. Ari looked to the lush greenness of the countryside getting lost in its splendor as her brother and Gavina spoke to each other about things she was not even paying any mind too. "Hey!She snapped her head when her brother poked her, pulling her out of her faraway state of mind. "You with us back there princess or what?" He asked her, with a chuckle in his voice. "Yeah, yeah sorry I was just thinking." she paused for a moment "I think I could be very comfortable living here." Toni looked at her with an expression on his face as if to say. "Where did that come from?" However, he did not say anything, not yet at least. "Well stay here on earth with the rest of us will ya." He smiled and gave her knee a grab slightly. Ari moved up, resting her arms on the back of the seats in front, making her move to the middle of the back seat where she was sitting so she could join in the conversation her brother and Gavina were having. "Gavi what in the hell do you see in this lump any way?" She shoved Toni some, snickering like a small child would. Gavi chuckled before she answered Ari's question. "Oh I don't know really, maybe he has an animal magnetism I just can't resist. Or it's the sex?" Gavina could not help but put that last part in knowing Toni more then likely did not mention the lil tryst in the bathroom on the plan that one time. Toni groaned when Gavi mentioned sex, he had not told Ari about the plane deal yet but guess now it was out and he heard her mind roll over and was ready for the loving sister torment and teasing. "Oh that good is he? Hmm never heard that from the other women, just heard lots of screaming and groaning." She chuckled knowing that would get Toni's boxers just in a bunch. "Hey do you mind when did my sex life become topic of this conversation?" Both women snickered a bit then looked at him. "What's wrong love, haven't you told Ari about the plane yet?" "No, I'm just not sure how my fucking around became so interesting all of a sudden, it's like I am the flavor of the month or something." "Baby you are the best flavor I have ever had. I am spoiled now I can never go back to Vanilla now that I have had Spumoni." Her cheery voice rang out making all three of them laugh like mad. "Ok, Ok I give. I know when I am beat. Fuck me I am surrounded by willful strong thick headed women I can't win for nothing." He said. They all laughed more as both women almost said at the same time. "But, you love us." He looked at them both shaking his head. He loved his sister with out a doubt, Gavina she was something he had never experienced before. Sure, he had his time with other women but she was something very different. She made his heart race, his chest tighten. Was he falling in love with her? He had not been able to get her out of his mind since that day on the plane, now with his sister he needed some one on his side, those two against him he was way out numbered. The rest of the drive all they did was chitchat, this, and that nothing important or of any consequence. While Toni and Gav rambled on in the front seat talking with each other Ari closed her eyes and just rested, the trip had been long and she was tired, soon they arrived at Gavina home. The car came to a stop waking Ari in the back seat. "Are we here already?" she asked in a sleepy voice. The house was two stories all stone with vines up the sides and front smoke coming from the chimney. It looked like a scene from a painting. The door opened and two people came out smiling and calling Gavina. "Welcome back lass! Thought you got lost or some thing." The man shouted as he walked to Gavina giving her a hearty hug. There was a woman who followed suit. Ari could see why Gavina was so beautiful. A man walked out making his way to Toni hugging him tight making him groan slightly as the man did so. "Welcome to Scotland my boy! We've heard so much about you from Gavina, she's has had nothing but nice things to say! Welcome, Welcome!" The man was a bubbly sort very friendly. Toni could see where Gav got it from now. Soon the mother followed suit hugging and kissing them both. Ari chuckled at the greetings her brother had gotten and smiled when the kind man gave her a somewhat tight hug as well. "Toni, Ari these are my mum and da. Steven and Marian. Mum, Da this is Toni and Ari." "Gavi has told us all about you and your brother, that you were coming to visit. Come, come you must be tired. We have your rooms all ready for you. Here I'll show you to the rooms that are yours while you are here. The house is like your own home while you are here, no need to stand on formality." Ari and Toni could not believe how sweet these people were being to total strangers, it was overwhelming. She heard and read about how nice the Scott's were but this did not seem to come close to what she imagined. Smiling the woman looped their arms together, escorting Ari into the house while her husband and Toni got the things from the car. They changed, clean up, and then meet the others downstairs. They were sitting around the table talking. Ari and Toni, Gavina and her parents talking getting to know one another a little bit better as dinner cooked. They talked almost all through dinner and desert and late into the night before Gavina, Toni and her parents had called it a night and headed to bed for the night. She could not get over how natural it felt here even Toni commented that he too he felt at home here strangely. Midnight came and they all headed to bed except Ari; she went outside to sit on the swing out in front of the cottage. Looking up she saw the dark blue-black of the sky with all its glowing sparkles of light it made her let out a soft breath, it felt so right to be here peaceful, no sounds of the city, no screaming, yelling, no guns going off just the sound of nature at night. "This is so wonderful." She uttered quietly to her self, but soon the baying of a wolf in the distance broke the silence of the night. Ari turned her head in the direction of the baying something about that sound made her smile. The next time it sounded closer, then again, even closer then before. Getting up from the swing, she moved out into the field the grass so tall her hand brushed the tips softly bending them as she moved. Heading off in the direction of the baying even though she was not sure where she was going but still she walked off. She was at the edge of a thick forest when she heard it again the baying like some wild call. Her heart starting to pound in her chest more and more the deeper she went. The sound was so hunting, pulling her in just like her dreams. She took another few steps she looked back the house it was still visible she could in the dark of night the glow of lights in the window like a beacon of safety. Foolishly, she kept going then it appeared a huge wolf standing in the clearing just beyond her, its head tilted to the sky its melodic haunting song echoing on the night air, it sent a chill up her spine. She felt a pang of fright when wolf lowered its head and looked dead smack at her. Her eyes locked on the shimmering orbs of some wild wolf it stole her reason and sense to run like mad back to the house, but her mind sparked the thought of just backing up slowly. The wolf began creeping its way towards her matching it seemed step for step with hers. "God it's just going to rip me to bits if I don't get out of here. Don't run what ever you do just don't run." She kept telling her self softly until she backed her self into a huge tree letting out a huff of air as her back smacked hard into the rough bark. She was stuck now she had nowhere else to back up too she was caught between this wolf and the tree, and it was getting CLOSER! No more then ten feet from her its strode till it was now three feet from her, almost close enough she could just reach out and touch it. She was sweating from the whole intensity of the moment, and then it was right on her sniffing at her, looking up at her. She heard a soft growling coming from the wolf, and then something made it jerk its head to the left. "Andrew stop that back off with ye now go on go!" This voice came out of nowhere. Andrew? Ari's head turned to the sound of the voice while the wolf seemed to understand and backed off with out so much as another glance at Ari. "Sorry lass some times he can't help him self he thinks hunting humans is a game he really meant you not a bit of harm." Ari's eyes could not see the body to go with that voice but she knew it some how it was familiar. "Who are you? What do you mean hunting humans?" Soon the yellow white light of a flashlight broke the pitch black of the night. "Andrew the wolf there he'd nea ever hurt a fly let alone a human less ye be hunting him then he'd nea give a fig what ye be. Now what is a lass like your self be doing out here in the forest alone on a night like this hmm?" Then she saw the ghostly out line of a mountain of a man no less then 6 ft in height and broad shouldered, was all she could see of him just yet. Then the light came up illuminating his face some, she took in a breath the first thing she saw were his eyes like none she had ever seen before. Her heart seemed to stop beating when she took in the image of his face, she could not believe it. There in full view he was the face in her dreams, Ari's world seemed to go for a spin with out her nothing but his face could she see no forest no sounds nothing just his face. "Lass, Lass? Are you alright?" he asked of her and yet she did not respond to his words, it was like an inaudible sound for a while then the far off echo's started to resonate in her ears and she snapped out of her haze long enough for her world to come into focus. "Lass can ye hear me are you alright?" "Huh? What oh yes, yes I am fine thank you very much." "You're the American I have heard so much about. Welcome to Scotland". "Thank you." was all she could manage to utter. She just looked at him still not able to figure out if this was real or a dream, her voice just barely over a whisper like something out of some old movie. "Right then up ye go." He said and with out warning he scooped her up as if she were nothing. His arms were like small tree trunks his just hard as a rock and his smell was like the forest. Ari put her arm over his shoulder as he carried her out of the forest and back into the tall grass field heading back for the house where she was staying. He was saying something to her but dam if she really heard anything she just stared at him like a child at Christmas time, meeting Santa for the first time. "Lass I think you best stay out of the forests from now on it can be a wee bit nasty out there if ye don't know where you're going." He said to her as he came up to the house and pulled the chain for the bell. It was not a few moments later when the door opened. "Lords to heaven what happened?" Steven exclaimed as he motioned to come into the house. "Ah Steven I believe this is yours" he chuckled. "She was out for a stole and found Andrew; I think she's a wee bit in shock." "Come in please her rooms this way." Steven said that while he walked up stairs then down the hall to her room was. Soon his wife emerged from their room gasping at the site of Ari in the Lords arms being carried into her room Marian's voice become startled and alarmed when she spoke "What in all heavens!" she uttered loud enough to wake the others soon Ari was coming to be put to bed a thick blanket being pulled up over her by him. "Rest Bella you'll be fine I promise." He murmured softly but it was still like a something out of her dreams. She felt a cold shiver run down her spine as his words rang in her ears. Hearing the commotion in the hallway Gavina and Toni came out of their rooms to see what was going on, once Toni saw it had to do with his sisters room he rushed across the hallway slamming right into the man coming out of the room. Toni went sprawling back but the other man's paw like hands grabbed and kept him up right. "She's alright lad she just had a wee bit of a fright out side. No worries." Toni looked at the man and felt the oddest sensation as if he knew him. Something odd about the dark haired fellow made Toni stop a moment before pushed his way gently past the man and went right to Ari's side, sitting on the bed taking her hand in his. "Ari? What were you doing out there? You alright?" he asked her a few times before she looked at Toni and nodded. In a soft voice, he spoke to him. "Yes I'm fine really, I just got lost is all." "Lost you never you could get any where from any where and back home." He said as his hand caressed her face softly. "Come, out with you all, she be needing some rest is all. It's been a long day for the lass with her trip and all. Out with ye now shoo." Marian said as she hurried them all out and looked back at Ari. "You go on and have a good rest things will be right as rain in the morning." Ari nodded it was like a blur all she could see was his face when she closed her eyes. Finally she fell asleep and started dreaming again, dreaming of him. Those eyes looking at her like a drilling gaze into her soul as if they knew her inner most self. It started out like most the others her walking along in this glen trees, tall grass the night sky above, peaceful serene. Slowly she walked into the glade there was a stone pedestal in the middle lit up by pure moon like, it was like a spot light, just illuminating the stone dais and its stone. She walked over to it and ran her fingers over the year's worn stones surface. She looked at her fingers dragging as she walked the length of the stone, she arched a brow as she saw a stain in the middle of the stone slab. It looked like it had been there for years and years. "They call that Binders Bed." A deep baritone voice said coming form out of the dark somewhere. Ari turned around not realizing any one was watching her, she took a step back away from the figure. Not knowing who or what it could be that was out there in the night with her. "They say the legion is that it was the rock where lovers took their undying vows to be with none other but each other. The couple would come here if she were willing to give her self to her mate and on this rock in the moons full light they would make love for the first time and that stain there is from her blood. That stain is of her purity it is a symbol of the bond that time, and tide can never break. Well so they say." He stepped out of the dark of the tree line. "You, how long have you been watching me?" she asked though her voice seemed to quiver as she spoke. "Not long I often come here for the peace and quiet and the beauty that comes into the glade." He said emphasizing the word Beauty in reference to her presence there. She blushed at his comment for some reason, she felt the warmth rush over her cheeks and turned away. "Do you believe in this fairy tale?" she asked wondering if he was telling her some folk tale or some strange tale to impress the strange American. He came closer to her almost reaching her in three huge strides, she moved back around to the other side of the stone slab looking at him. 'There is no need to be afraid Ari. I am not going to hurt you, matter of fact I was wondering when you were coming back to me." "Coming back? I have never seen you before how could I be coming back to you." He smiled and walked around to the side she was on and looked down at her he reached down some and cupped her chin, lowering his head to hers he kissed her softly but with such passion it made her knees weak. Unknowingly her body leaned into his, soon his other arm came about her waist, and pulled her into his hard strong body, a soft groan escaped her lips as they kiss intensified. She felt the fire of the kiss intensify the heat in her cheeks just as it had from the way he looked at her and spoke about the Binders Bed. She could feel her heart beat race making her breathing quicken as he deepened the kiss, she could feel his tongue parting her lips and she willingly let them part searching out his tongue with her own leaving it to dance along with his wildly. His hand rested on the small of her back, pressing her into him even more, pulling her tight to his form the other hand slipping into the thick mane of her hair as he pressed his lips to hers in an almost crushing kiss. He drank in the softness of her lips, inhaled her sweet scent, feeling her body molding to his, he was starving for her so badly it was like an endless hunger. Slowly he broke the kiss and looked into her eyes as if he were looking into her soul searching for something in her. He scooped her up in his massively strong arms and places her on the stone slab looking down at her he caressed her face, his body moved with a fluid grace as he positioned himself aside her body. Looking at her, he smiled while tenderly caressing her face. Slowly his hand trailed down over her throat over the bar part of her shoulder to the swell's of her breast's, down to her stomach trailing further still till his hand rests on her upper thigh. "Soon you will remember and understand and when you do I will bring you here again and make you mine." "Why do I feel like I know you? Why do you come to me like this?" "Soon Bella it will come back to you and you will remember but for now my love you must wake and dream no more this night of me." His voice trailed off into a whisper as he leaned in and kissed her again with the same fire and passion as the moments before. "Ari, Ari wake up sleepy, its morning." The voice in her dream seemed to get clearer as she started waking slowly but surely her eyes opened and there was Toni sitting on the edge of her bed shaking her gently to wake up. Ari's eyes blinked open and she saw Toni and arched a slender brow. "What the?" she exclaimed softly as she sat up in bed still dressed in what she had on last night. "Morn'n sleeping beauty, nice lil trip you took last night getting your self lost out there. Some tree of a guy found you brought you back, don'cha remember?" he asked her with a somewhat worried expression on his handsome face. A Scottish Werewolf's Love Book 02 Ch. 03 "No, you dork I mean why I am still in my, oh never mind get out so I can get cleaned up and changed." "Awwww what I can't stay?" he teased her just as she swatted the hell out of his arm laughing as well. "God dam your getting bad what's gotten into you?" Toni chuckled. "I don't know but your look was great!" * He laughed and got off the bed and went down stairs, she could hear him laughing the whole time. Some time later Ari came down wearing jeans and sneakers and such and sat at the table bidding all good morning. "Good Morning lass, feeling better then ya did last night?" "Yes sir I am thank you." "Sir? Pfft call me Steven lass that's my given name." She chuckled and smiled. "Alright Steven it is then." Soon breakfast was on the table and tea poured Marian dished up the sumptuous looking food. "Come now eat up before it gets cold." Marian said as she sat down. After a good meal and helping clean up Gavina took Toni and Ari to meet the lord of Black Wolf Castle, it came out over the hill like some stone guardian looking over the land. Ari could not believe her eyes it was the castle from her dreams it was real! She felt her heart begin to flutter and quicken the closer they got to the Castle. It was very real no longer did she think she was going crazy or insane. The got out of the car and made their way to the huge doors and pulled the chain to ring the old-fashioned bell then waited. Soon the doors open and a handsome red headed man answer the door. "Gav! I was hoping you would be coming over this morning. Come in lass come in." "Morning Drew, these are my friends Toni and Ari the Americans I told you and Duncan of remember?" "Aye, yes I remember. Come in all of you Duncan will be down shortly his lazy arse was still in bed till about 30 minutes ago. Please come in." They all walked in, Ari started looking around, and up taken back by how the old world seemed so alive in this place as if it was a living time capsule. "Let me introduce my self I am Drew, and you must be Toni?" He said as he put his hand out to Toni to shake it in a tight manly firm grip. The moment Toni shook Drew's hand he felt like a shock had gone into his body with the force of a hard punch to the gut but with out him doubling over, Toni's hand clinched hard to Drew's as they shook. "Aye Lad what a shake you got. Great grip you must be a boxer." Soon another voice joined in. Ari turned her head and her eyes widened when she saw him standing there in full light not just the yellow eerie glow of the flashlight. "Welcome to Black Wolf Castle my home." A Scottish Werewolf's Love Book 02 Ch. 04 Book 2 Chapter 3 Welcome To Black Wolf castle "Welcome to Black Wolf Castle my home." She could feel the blood drain from her face when she saw him. How could she not stare at him, he was very gorgeous. He had a smile that made her heart skip a beat. His eyes looked into hers yet again as if they were looking into her soul. She felt that same chill run up her spine like the other night when he and she meet in the glade. "Well, hello you two again, I am glad to have you in my home." He walked to Tony and shook his, then turned and walked to Ari whom was still just staring him like she was in some sort of trance. "Good day to you Ari, I hope you are feeling better then the other night when we met. Ari did not say anything for a few moments as she was just looking at him still. "Huh? Oh yeah I am feeling great thanks. I want to thank you again for all your help." "It was my pleasure Arianna. What kind of man would I be if I let you come to some harm and not step in and, shall I say save the damsel in distress?" He smiled with a wickedly seductive smile, which made her knees weak, but she managed to keep standing. "This house has been in my family since the old days, more then 500 years now. Many of the Mc Cloud family's descendants have lived here in this house for as long as I can remember being told by my mother and father. I hear you are interested in the history of my home." "Well, I uh well this is going to sound utterly strange but I have. Please don't think I am insane but, I have been dreaming about this place all my life, ever since I can remember. This house and Scotland." "Really, how odd. I do not think you are insane so your worries can be quieted. Would you like a tour of the house and the grounds?" "Yes, that would be great thank you." She said to him still not having looked away from him. Gavina looked at Duncan and Ari and smiled to her self, she reached out for Tony's hand and took him off in the other direction, while Drew chuckled and walked off to go do some things in another part of the house. Having not really noticed her brother and the others moving off she was taken by the hand and lead into the main room of the house. "This is the gathering room; it's where we all gather when we have get togethers like parties and such. Many wedding receptions have been held here over the years." "Yours?" she asked him softly. "Mine?" he chuckled. "No I am not married yet. But my mother and father were married on the grounds here and I was born here as well." She smiled and turned around and started walking off looking around at things as he told her the history of the house and the land it sat on. They must have spent hours together talking about the house and all that had gone on there over 500 years. By the time, they stopped walking they were in the rose garden. They both looked at each other and smiled. "Thank you so very much for the tour I enjoyed it immensely. I can't tell you how much this means to me. I have not been able to think of much else since I got here." He nodded and smiled at here then reached out and moved a strand of dark red hair out of her sparkling eyes the eyes that held the image of his past and her own. She might not yet remember it but soon he hoped it would come to her. He hoped with all his being. She shyly moved away from him, though she really wanted to loose her self in his eyes that just captivated her immensely. She moved down the narrow hallway between the great-room and seemed to be a study. On the walls on both sides of the hallway were hundreds of family portraits and memorabilia that he must have inherited over the years. There were so many strange images from her dreams. Faces she saw now in the paintings before her. She thought now for sure she was or had gone crazy. She turned to Duncan and then pointed to the paintings. "Who are these people?" She looked at him and the next words stuck in her throat cause she knew or at least thought he was going to think she was out of her fucken mind. "These are the Mc Clouds my ancestors, they are from the first Mc Cloud till my self. He took her gently by the arm, walked to the end of the hallway, and began telling her the Family History. He talked to her about the family for what seemed like forever till they stopped at one picture. Ari about fainted when she saw the woman in the picture. There staring back at her was a woman who looked almost just like her; the only difference was the hair color. The woman in the painting had the darkest brown silken hair she had ever seen and doe like eyes to match. "This is Castalena Revali, married to my name sake Duncan Mc Cloud. They were." Before he could finish she finished for him. "Childhood sweethearts, they were meant to marry each other from childhood." Her tones were as if she was far off in thought. "She died something tragic. She died saving someone she loved." Duncan felt his heart stop at her words. It was true his beloved Bella died saving him from being shot by Henry. She held on to life for a week after being shot but the injury had been to much for her body to heal and she passed early in the morning about sunrise. Duncan fought back the pain and the tears as he heard Ari speak of his beloved wife and mate. Air turned to him with that far off look in her eyes and cocked her head slightly to one side her hand wanted to reach out and touch his face but something held her back. "It is said that he died the day she did. He was so in love with her his heart could not go on. It is said he lived out his life in a small cabin not far from here. Never talking to any one ever, seems to me a true enough love has never been." He turned and pushed the door open to the Study. The suns rays lit up the dark wooded room and it shown with a deep rich rustic color that made Air marvel at the site, the woodwork was very old but seemed to be in pristine condition. Duncan told her the whole history of the house and answered any questions she had. When they were done it was some time after 2 pm and he invited them all to join him and Drew for an elegant dinner party they were having the next night. He also offered Ari and her brother and open door invite to his home any time day or night. Ari smiled and thanked him for all his kindness. She called out for Tony but he was not answering, she was sure he was out having well his fun time with Gavina. She decided to walk to the house; she wanted to be alone to think about everything that happened today. Things sure were not what she thought they would be. For sure she thought that this was going to just turn out to be some crazy trip and that none of this really existed. Nevertheless, god it was real and she saw it and touched it. She had no idea what she was going to do now. But, well she would try and make some sense out of it all. She must have walked for hours but not back to Gavi's house, she soon found her self out by the loch. She had been drawn there unknowingly; she found a place to sit down, rocks over looking the loch and a huge tree. For some reason she felt as she had been there before but, that can't have been she had never been to Scotland before this trip. Why was it all so real yet no foggy in her mind? She wrapped her arms around her and sighed softly watching the peace of nature pass her by slowly. Soon she found her mind drifting away to some other time, like a dream but she was awake least she thought she was. She sat there watching a man chase a woman around the tree below her. She watched them frolic, soon the two were swept up into some lust driven embrace. Ari found her self watching unable to turn away as if watching it all through some one else eyes. The scene unfolded like it had in the past, her past she just didn't know it. All these things were coming at her left and right, one thing after another and she was not sure now what was real and what wasn't. Was she really loosing her mind? Duncan looked out over the rose garden and took a deep breath, he could smell her scent in the air, it was heavenly. Long had he missed that soft warm smell of her on the air, long had it been since he looked into her eyes and saw her love for him, every night had he prayed she would come back, and now several hundred years past and now she had found her way back, back to him. "Duncan?" Andrew's calling of his name pulled him out of his thoughts. He slightly looked over his shoulder at his life long friend and brother. "Yes Drew?" "You alright, I know it must be hard, but she'll remember her soon enough and you can be happy and live on a long time together." Duncan sighed and turned, he looked out at the suns glowing rays as they peaked through the clouds. "I know I have waited this long I can wait a while longer. But gods man I wanted her the other night on the rock. I did not care either. I looked into her eyes and my heart about leaped out of my chest, every part of me screams take her. My head was the only thing that was reasonable, it was all that held me back." Andrew went to his brother and put his hand on his shoulder. "I know Dunc, I know just a lil longer I know I can't really know how you feel but I know some what how you feel and I promise it will all work out in the end." Would it, he thought, would it really work out in the end. Would she find her way home, back to him or was he going to live out his life like this forever, just in reach of his true happiness? He would wait and see, he would abide by what nature, and fate had in stored for him. Still on the other hand for him it was grinding on him hard, knowing she was with in arms reach and yet not being able to hold the woman he knew was there before him, breathing life's sweet air again. ** The year 1779** **Place Black-Wolf Castle Scotland** The three women sat in the carriage as it made its way down the cobble stone streets of Edinburgh. "Casta?" She heard her name ring out over the thumps and bumps of the carriage as it traveled along. "Hmm?" She said not really answering as she had drifted off into a daydream like state. "Oh don't bother dear she daydreaming about that large beast of a man and his ..umm endowments." Heather laughed heartily at her comment that seemed to snap Casta out of her dream. "AUNT HEATHER!!!" She screamed. The other two women laughed hard as they saw the red in Casta's cheeks just beam from embarrassment. In truth she was thinking about the night on the rock and what had happened. Her aunt was just so mean at times to embarrass her in such a manner but it was all in the good sprit of fun and it made life so filled with joy and love she could never hold it against Heather. The carriage came to a stop, the door opened the three women stepped out one at a time the front door to the ladies' dress shop opened, and a cheery woman greeted the trio. "Welcome! Welcome! Lady Mc Cloud how wonderful to see you, its been so long!.' The woman hugged Heather and then led her in fawning over Heather in such a good-hearted way that all the women had to smile. "What do I owe this pleasure?" "Well, we need two wedding dresses and a fashionable dress for my self as Angus and I are re-avowing our vows, so we came to you for your expert touch in dress making." The woman squealed and beamed, she was just in a tether about having to make three dresses for such lovely women, and for weddings. The woman called out to her seamstress's and the whole shop was in a uproar for the rest of the time the three were there. The rest of the day was spent on this and that, getting things ordered for the wedding, the one thing Heather believed in was when something was going on, on a massive scale she like to get all the people in the city involved, like Bakers and Florists and so on. There was nothing better then to help every one it was the best for all. Heather, Castalena, and Shannan sat at this quaint lil café sipping something to drink. They chit chatted and smiled having a good time, but soon the joy was broken when Heather caught the sight of him. Henry was coming down the street and right for them. Heather might not have been a werewolf but she growled none the less under her breath. She turned her head towards the carriage and the man nodded and disappeared suddenly. William spied the three and made his way in there direction. Heather got a very ridged back sitting there. She heard his voice; it was like drawing of a sword on metal, irritating. "Well well, ladies good day what a wonderful surprise to see you in Edinburgh, what brings you here?" Heather smiled politely as always then answered the insufferable man. "We are here having a ladies day out." It really was none of his business to as why they were there. "Ah how lovely, there is no such better site as to see woman out on such a lovely day. And do tell how are you ladies?" "We are well thank you kindly sir." Castalena said trying to get his attention off her aunt. Henry turned and smiled reaching out taking Casta's hand and kissing the back. "MMM Lady Revali always a pleasure being in your company." His words dripped with sarcasm. Castalena pulled her hand away after he kissed it and nodded. "Thank you." She said with a sharp end to her word. She slowly rose from her chair. "If you will so kindly excuse us my lord we must be heading home now. "Oh really can I not convince you to stay for just a moment. I really need to ask you something of great importance." "Oh, and just what could that be sir?" "Well I was really hoping to talk to your family first, but since your uncle is not about I will just have to ask you here and now. My good lady Revali, would you do me the honor and become my wife?" With that, Heather moved in and got between Castalena and him. "Sir I am sorry but with out my husband here that is utterly impossible, and any way she is taken and betrothed to my son. There fore your request must be turned down." Heather grabbed Castalena by the arm and Shannan's as well and headed for the carriage. She knew this would not be received well and was sure a scene would be made. "Really? Well my congratulations, I am happy for you." Henry was seething inside as he walked the women to the carriage and held the door for them. "I do wish you all the happiness to you and yours Lady Mc Cloud, please extend my best wishes to your son on his fine match with this gorgeous woman here.' Holding the door for them till they had all stepped in he closed the door and the carriage jerked and pulled away. Heather felt her heart pounding from the encounter as it could have ended badly. Soon there was a slight thud on the roof of the carriage. Shannan jumped some and looked up. "Worry not that is Carl." Carl had been the man that had left when Heather looked at the carriage. At that moment, he was in wolf form and had jumped on the carriage as it pulled away. A moment later, after shifting back to human form and hurriedly redressing, his head peeked in and looked at the three. "My Lady are you all alright?" Carl asked with a lil edge to his voice. "Yes, yes Carl we are fine just get us home as fast as you can." "Yes my lady." With that, the carriage seemed to speed its way back to the Castle, not much was said for some time as Heather contemplated the matter at hand. "Say nothing to your Uncle or to Duncan, I will speak to them on this matter." Heather said to them both, the tone in her voice making it clear she would handle this. The carriage stopped out side the door to the castle where the butler received the ladies home with a bow and a smile. "Welcome home M'ladies, the lords are in the garden, should I announce you have returned?" "Yes please and tell my husband I wish to see him in his private study as soon as possible." Heather told him as she took off her shawl and hung it by the door then making her way up stairs to the private study. The butler went and announced that the woman had returned and that the Lady heather was waiting in the study for the Lord and was not in a fair mood and wished to see him right off. Angus knew when his wife was not in a good mood it must be bad. He went right off to see what had her in a fury; he could feel her from the garden. He opened the door and found his beloved wife pacing and talking to her self, surely those were not good signs. "Beloved?" "THAT ARROGANT INSULANT BASTARD!!!" She yelled out having stopped pacing and turning to her husband. Gods she cursed and was yelling, some one truly pissed her off. He walked to his beloved wife and gently took hold of her arms. "Come now love who as brought this Scottish ire up in you? How must I kill?" Heather looked up at him. "William!" her eyes seethed with anger and hate. "That slimy self absorbed bastard, tried to play me for a fool, with his goodly ways and kind words!!! I should have slapped the bastard!" Angus caressed his wife's cheek softly lovingly, gods she was gorgeous when she was fired up, it was one of the things he so loved about her. "Shh my love, tell me what happened and I shall right what wrong was done to ye." Heather regaled him with what happened in the city and calmed some but not much, it took more then a caress to cool her anger. Angus listened to all she had to say and pulled her to him and from now where he kissed her with such passion and fire it caught her off guard. He kissed her for a long moment till his lungs began to burn, and then finally broke the kiss. "Oh what a devil you are." She said swatting his shoulder. "Oh and more beloved. I love to see you this way, but not to often I am too old to fight you back." He chuckled." That fire in ye I love so dearly, tis what drew me to you. Worry not about that worm, I will deal with him." She looked at him and ooo'ed at him as she tired to get free. "Blast you and your wiles on me wolf. Trying to sway my anger are ye? Well it will not work this time." He did not let her go, pulled her up into his arms, and smiled. "Nae, will it not? Woman you underestimate the will of this old wolf woman. I will have what I want when I want.' He gave her a wicked grin, dam but he was in a mood seeing her riled up, and it brought out his own beast. He took her to there bedchamber and kicked the door closed with his foot. All one could hear was a growl coming from the room and Heather yelling no to her husband but there was a laugh in voice so all was well. **Modern Day ** The Bryus's Home: The two men waited in the living room for the woman to finish up getting ready so they could all attend the party that Duncan was giving in their honor at the castle tonight. Finally after about five or ten minutes of Toni and Steven, mumbling and joking the three women appeared there was Marian, then Gavina and last but not least was Ari. The three were dressed in very Scottish attire for women. Toni and Ari wore clan colored Tartans of the Bryus's even though Ari and Toni were not of the Clan as it were they were guests and were honored as family. Steven had a inkling that fact of them being all family soon would happen, he was shall we say helping it along. Ari smiled and chuckled seeing Toni in a kilt all dressed in Scottish attire she could not help it he looked so dam cute and all. "Toni my what cute knees you have dear brother I never knew." She tried so hard not to bust out into the giggles while saying that. "Oh don't you dare start lil girl, you're not too old for me to spank." He replied as he walked over to her and kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear how totally hot she looked in that red dress she was wearing. But, not to leave the other two lovely ladies out of his charms and such he grabbed Marian's hand and kissed the back of it and gave her a wolfish grin. A Scottish Werewolf's Love Book 02 Ch. 04 "Dear lady you look vibrant and lovely I am not sure the men will be able to keep their hands off of you tonight. I think your husband might have to defend you." Toni looked up, smiled, and winked at her. "Good gods! Your horrible boy!" she laughed. "You're as bad a wolf as any in the country side!" Steven chuckled and walked to his wife and playfully smacked Toni's hand. "Down boy she's mine yours is there" Stevens head motioned back over his shoulder where Gavina stood in a black tea length dress her hair up in curls and her clan tartan draped over one shoulder. Toni winked at Steven and then went to her gently kissing her lips and smiling. "Gavina you look stunning." Ari could not help but roll her eyes at her brothers drooling over Gavina, it was too funny. Finally she thought her brother was now stuck, he was head over heels in love and acting like a drooling puppy over Gavina, it was sickeningly sweet and a nice change if she was being honest with herself. Soon they all got into the cars and drove to the castle. Ari sat in the back seat with Gav's parents while she and Toni took the other car. Ari's heart was pounding in her chest something fierce like it would explode at any minute, something in her wanted to flee and never come back, but yet in the same moment it all seemed so fated if you will. Why, how and for what reason she had not one clue. Ari never ran from a fight before she was not running this time either.
