50 Exotic beauty (2/2)
”Jamila, are you bothering these kids again dear?” Rin's father stepped out into the courtyard before Shelly had time to ask all the questions building in her head.
Jamila laughed as her radiant eyes turned from the couple before her to her husband. ”Ah, Rudra! Come, love, join us!”With a flick of her wrist another wine glass materialized out of thin air, she filled it as Rudra made his way over to the blanket.”I was just telling our dear Shelly here about the first time we met her parents.”
”Ah yes…” Rudra snapped his fingers and a large photo album materialized. He sat it one the blanket in front of Shelly before sitting down beside her. He held his hand over the book and the pages began magically turning.”Ah, here we go.”
Shelly's eyes glistened as she stared down into the smiling faces of her parents, speechless with joy.Rin Wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder.”Your mother, she was beautiful… she looked just like you.”He held his hand out mimicking his father's actions.The pages quickly turned. The page it finally stopped on, there was another picture of her parents.In this picture her mother was holding a tiny baby; and, to her shock, Rin was there holding a second tiny baby.Below that picture, there was a close-up of Rin and the baby.His eyes shined in a warm awe down into the giggling face of the infant who held his finger tightly in chubby fingers.Rin kissed her shoulder, ”That was the moment I fell in love with you.From the second our eyes met; I knew there would never be another woman in the world for me.It was both the best… and the worst day of my life…” He released her as she turned to look up into his sad eyes.
”Why would it be the saddest?” She asked bringing her hand up to stroke the soft beard of his sharply curved jaw.
He cupped the hand on his jaw, emotions intensifying his brilliant eyes, ”Because it was the first time in my long life the shackles of a Gin I wear truly felt like a curse rather than a blessing.” He brought her tiny hand to his lips.”It was the day I realized I was hopelessly in love with a peer breed werewolf princess.Your parents' deaths three years later only made that knowledge more painful.” Rin pulled her into his arms, ”I swore if I couldn't be your lover, once you were old enough, I would offer myself to you as your Gin.I would give you the power you needed to regain control of your kingdom…”His eyes twinkled as he stared down into her eyes.”I am still willing to make the bond and give you that power.”
Shelly glanced around her, into the eyes of his parent as they waited for her answer.She could feel the anticipation and nervous energy-generating around her.Rudra nodded his head as her eyes pleaded with him.She watched as Jamila took his hand, excitement etched all over her face.Shelly looked back up into Rin's determined eyes, ”You… You… Say that as if by being with me as… 'my Gin' that… that we somehow wouldn't be together.” Her mind tried to remember what he had told her thus far about Gins.”
His features stayed set in absolute determination, but his eyes held a spark of the sadness he felt as he explained, ”You would have to remain a virgin to access and control the full power of a Gin.”
Realization hit her like a ton of bricks.Earlier… Rin would have held back earlier regardless of the circumstances… it's the real reason he had never made an advance toward her romantically… because he had always planned on making her this offer… for the full power of a Gin.She set back on her heels staring into the exotic swirl of gold, green, and blue orbs reflecting back at her.Her features contorted into fierce resolve, ”Yes, Rin.” Her hands fisted into the fabrics of her skirts, ”I want you by my side for the rest of my life.” She watched as he tried to hide the sadness her words caused. {He has misunderstood my words, as I figured he would.But… that's fine…}
Rin pushed up onto his feet and held a hand out for her to take. ”Then we should go, my princess.The sooner you have my full power the safer you will be.” As soon as her hand was fully in his the disappeared.
Rudra let out a heavy sigh as he took a sip from his glass, ”When did our son become so blind, do you think?”
Jamila giggled, ”Do you think we should have told them?”
Rudra turned smiling eyes toward his wife. He took another long sip of wine before he answered her, ”No, let them find out on their own. It will strengthen their bond.” He held his hand over the album and the pages flipped to blank pages. He waved his hand over the pages. As his hand moved across them the pages began to fill. Several images of Shelly and Rin appeared with an image of the moment Rin proposed to be 'her Gin' showed as the largest of them all.
Jamila peered over her husband's shoulder. She held her hand over the book and the pages only flipped twice more.She waved her hand over the pages to revile the images there.Her face fell into a frown, worry etched across her beautiful features.Rudra held his worried wife's hand, both stared at the image of Shelly holding an infant in a birthing bed. The image of their son, embracing Shelly with one arm and his new child with the other, kept fading in and out of focus.”Their future is still not certain.” Jamila pouted sadly as she shot concerned eyes up to her husband.

He kissed the top of her head and tucked it beneath his chin not wanting his wife to see the worry in his own eyes as he answered, ”Don't worry, love, our son is strong. He will live to see his son be born.” He smiled down at his wife as tears filled both their eyes, ”Rin is too stubborn to die.”
