run into town pick up Reverend Davenport bring him
out here, tell him there is to be a wedding, tell him to bring all
the necessary papers, and to tell no one. Pend go home get Kelly,
the rest of the females to come back here. The rest of you keep
watch until Pend gets back."
Pend left for the alpha house, Rain turned to
Raw, "after the wedding get on the internet, and get me as much
information as you can about this man, name Mark Hartman. Also Raw
when on the computer check to see what packs are near Casper,
Wyoming. And Joe head into town, and see what you can find out
about this guy asking questions about Amethyst."
"No problem Rain each man stated." They went
out side and shifted into wolf form and kept watch.
Half an hour later Reverend Davenport and his
wife drove up the lane. The Reverend Davenport was a stocky man
standing five feet eleven. He wore lifts to make him appear taller.
He had gray hair that was kept trimmed neatly. The Reverend stood
with his back in an arch, as if lecturing, or giving a sermon at
the church. His chest was puffed out like a roaster trying to
impress some hens. Talking to each one of the men then turned to
Amethyst. He had a friendly smile and made her feel at easy
immediately. Smiling he said leaning over, "child you are a delight
to these old eyes. I do not think I have ever seen such beauty as
you possess." Amethyst blushed and smiled up at him.
Kelly was five foot five; beautiful light
brown hair with blond high lights in it from the sun. She was well
formed with long slender legs. Kelly wore a plain skirt, and white
top. She was very pretty, and kept glancing at her mate Pend. She
also noticed Pend kept and eye on her as well. "Awe must be love."
Once Amethyst was dressed she decided she looked elegant! The skirt
Kelly lent her was splashes of multi-colors. The top was tucked
inside which was white lace. Her hair lay down her back free with
little waves in it. She refused to let Rain in to the cabin to
shower; she didn't want him to see her dressed up before the
wedding. He had to clean up in well water that was heated on the
stove and sent out to him. Pend had brought him clean jeans, dark
blue shirt, and his favorite cowboy boots. He looked handsome in
his western clothes.
An hour later Pend was best man Kelly his
mate was maid of honor, and Rain stood by her side, and promised to
honor, and keep her, and love her. And she in turn spoke the words
that bonded them by law. Reverend Davenport signed the papers and
said, "I will take them to the court-house, and have them
registered." The Reverend handed Rain the originals and he took the
copies for the court-house.
Rain spoke softly and told the Reverend
Davenport to call him once the papers were registered legally. Rain
handed the Reverend a hundred dollars. "Thank you for marrying
Amethyst and I."
As Amethyst hugged the Reverend Davenport she
handed him a piece of paper, asked him to have it taken to the
court-house, and register it, to tell no one about it. He whispered
he would and hugged her back told her to tell Rain about the paper
she gave him.
Speaking to Rain and Amethyst he said "I will
say prayers that your lives be filled with happiness." With that he
stepped out side the door and drove away.
Smiling she thought, "Hartman will never know
what she had done. Rain had left her to go out side to speak to his
pack members before they were mated, she quickly wrote up a will
leaving everything to her husband Rain Walker with a nice sum to
keep Anna her nanny well off for the rest of her days. She made a
quick hand written copy of it and stuck it into the brief case. She
would tell Rain tonight about the will."
The Reverend Davenport drove his own car,
when he left the cabin he did not drive into Coyote Ridge as Rain
had instructed him to, instead he drove north to Spring Water a
half an hours drive north. He had thought to call a friend who
worked at the court-house an hour later Paul his friend had
everything taken care
