Now it's time for everyone to wine down, have some fun and party the night away. I had such a hard time thinking of their wedding dance song. I had a lot of choices but i went with the one i did because it just sounded like Alastor talking to Heart.

Ch 44: The Married Dance
(Heart's POV)
Nifty had just got done taking pictures of the whole wedding party around some parts of the hotel. We started on the stairs and took a few there and a solo one of just me by myself and then Alastor by himself then both of us together. Then we went outside to the front of the hotel and of course Charlie and Alastor were playing around with the front door to recreate their first-time meeting. I thought it was cute to see them reenact and laughed so hard when seeing the door slammed in his face. I then asked Nifty to take photos of me and Alastor by ourselves in the garden. That place meant a lot to us so I figured some romantic photos of just the two of us would be nice to have. We even stood by the tree I had carved our letters into. It was just a nice little photo shoot. I enjoyed it so much. There was a feeling I would have a lot of pictures to go through when I got back.
Since they didn't finish the room just yet, we decided to mingle with a few of the guests that were around for a short moment. We found Yumi, who was an Asian dragon slash dog demon, and his boyfriend Rad, who was a devil cat demon. I knew them from the art studio I had joined years ago. I haven't gone back there in a long while, but I still kept in touch with Yumi now and then. When sending them an invite to my wedding I think they were the first to respond. Yumi was an artist while Rad was a writer for the city newspaper. I haven't talked to them in a while, so it was nice to see them again, catch up, and introduce them to Alastor since they have never met before.
"Heart it was amazing to see you again. Especially like this when you are so pretty." Yumi said to me as we pulled away from a hug, my tail wagging.
"It was definitely nice to see you again as well. Both of you guys." I smiled at both him and Rad.
"We'll let you go mingle right now with everyone else. Was nice to talk with you." Yumi looked to the deer demon beside me. "It was nice to meet you as well, Alastor."
"Of course, young sir." Alastor said with a small bow. "Please do enjoy the rest of your time."
"We will, thank you." Rad thanked us.
We then walked away from them to mingle with others.
The whole time we talked with other guests Alastor never left my side. His arm wrapped around me. As we walked around, we stopped at the bottom of the steps. I looked up at Alastor confused a moment before he nodded his head up the stairs, telling me to follow. We did as so, walking up the stairs while everyone was distracted with each other. We walked down the hallway a small bit before Alastor double checked to see if anyone followed us.
"Alastor, no funny business till later." I warned him softly as I put my ears back.
"I wouldn't do that, darling. Not here. I just wanted to talk with you a moment. Away from everyone so that we can be alone." Alastor said as he had a small grin on his face.
"Ok well what is it you want to talk about?" I wondered, my ears going up slightly.
Alastor put a hand to my cheek and then with his other hand I felt him grab a hold of the see-through fabric on my arms. "I wanted to tell you how beautiful you look today my little wolf. I never got the opportunity to tell you. You took my breath away when I saw you today."
A blush started to form on my cheeks, "Well you are pretty handsome yourself." I told him as I looked up into his crimson eyes.
He then laughed. "Made me wonder if it was actually you."
I smacked him on the arm playfully with a giggle. "Shut up. Just because I get dolled up for one day doesn't mean it isn't me. It's my special day as much as yours. I'm allowed to go all out." I crossed my arms and put my ears back down.
"Don't get your wings all tied up darling." Alastor put his hands up in defense. "You know I'm only kidding around. You do look absolutely stunning though. That dress is you. Purple is definitely your color." Alastor said as he brushed his fingers against my cheek.
The blush on my cheeks got warmer and my ears went back up slightly. "Thank you, Al. I loved this dress as soon as I saw it. It was hidden so I'm happy I found it." I put my arms down.
"It was meant to be then." Alastor smiled wide. "I'm so happy right now though."
Flashing my fangs, I returned his smile. "I'm happy too. I love you, Alastor." I wrapped my arms around his waist then leaned up for a kiss.
Alastor put his hands on me as well as his one hand laid on the back of my neck and another on my cheek. He started to kiss me back. The kiss was gentle at first, but he soon had me walking back until my back was up against the wall. He pressed his lips harder to mine, his body closer. I let out a hum in the back of my throat as I was enjoying the kiss so much. He probably has been wanting to kiss me like this all day since he saw me. My hands gripped onto the back of his coat as we continued this kiss. He even wanted to make it deeper as he snuck his tongue into my mouth and explored for a few moments.
"Alastor." I huffed through our lips.
He pulled away a moment and hovered his lips close to mine and I felt his breath against my skin as he was breathing a little heavy. "What is it dear?"
"Do you think this can wait till later?" I asked as I tried to catch my breath.
"No." He answered right away. "I want to enjoy you for a moment more before we have to go back out to the crowd."
Alastor said nothing else as he pressed his lips back to mine. Again, making the kiss deep and passionate. I couldn't really fight back because I was enjoying it. If we got caught, I wouldn't care. We could indulge in each other for a moment.
Our little make out session was interrupted as we heard Charlie down in the lobby.
"Ok everyone you can come back into the event hall now." She announced. "Sorry for the wait. Everyone's names are on the tables so please find your correct seat. After that we will get the wedding party back together for introductions. Thanks again." Charlie finished.
We pulled apart and walked back down the hallway and looked down to see the guests going back down towards the event hall. We waited up there as we saw all the guests leave. Vaggie just walked back into the hotel and had Rufio in front of her. I was glad she was ok with looking after him through this whole time. I'll have to thank her later and do something nice for her and probably Charlie too since she has been such a huge help.
Once everyone had gone, all that was left was everyone in the bridal party. Russ and Angel were being flirty by the bar with Husk looking uncomfortable as he sat a little way down from them. Vaggie walked up to Husk and started to talk with him.
"Guess we should head down and wait for Charlie to come back." I assumed.
"Good idea." Alastor agreed and we headed back down the steps.
Being careful to not step on my dress, I bunched up it up as we walked down slowly. As we got down to the bottom of the steps, Kota and Lizzy then walked back in from outside. Most likely they were taking a smoke break.
Angel then noticed us, "There ya are. We was wondering where ya guys disappeared to."
Alastor looked at Angel sternly. "That is none of your concern. Just had a moment alone to get away from the crowd." Alastor told him.
Angel huffed and laughed. "Sure ok." He elbowed Russ lightly who also started to laugh.
I just rolled my eyes at them.
Charlie soon came back. "Ok guys are you ready? Everyone is in there now."
"Yea let's get this party started!" Angel said as he jumped up from his bar stool.
We all shook our heads at the spider demon. Rufio jumped in surprise from the action and growled at him bit I ordered him to calm down and he did so. We all started to head down back towards the event hall. As we got closer, I could hear people talking inside as well as the music playing. Alastor was against it at first but I did manage to convince him for us to get a DJ for the reception and Russ knew one of his theater friends that did DJ in his spare time so that worked out well. I've met the friend before, if I can remember his name was Nicholas and he was a squid type demon, but looked more humanoid, who had multiple arms, he was a good demon and Russ trusted him so I did as well.
Charlie all had us line up outside the doors. She said that the DJ would call us in and should go smoothly.
Charlie opened the doors and I heard the DJ change the song to something more old school. I made sure to let the DJ know to have a lot of old-time songs for Alastor's sake.
He then went on to announce everyone coming into the event hall. Starting with Vaggie and Rufio, the hellhound jumped up and down with excitement. Charlie and Kota then got announced and they walked in, Kota gave Charlie a small spin as they walked in and made people cheer a little.
Russ and Angel were next, and I knew that the spider demon was enjoying the attention, but I was surprised when Russ took the tall spider demon and dipped him down into a kiss. It threw Angel off in surprise but gave a thumbs up. People started to woo and wolf whistle at the two. I gave a small chuckle at them. They were too much.
Lizzy and Husk were the last to enter and they didn't do anything but that was mainly Husk because Lizzy was the one waving to people.
I took a deep breath and let it out. It was just a moment, but it was weird to be walking into a room full of people and they were going to see me and Alastor again. I was nervous in a way, my ears went back.
I felt Alastor put a hand on my arm that was already looped into his. "You are ok dear. Don't worry."
I nodded, "I know. I just have a wave of nervousness, that's all."
Alastor leaned down to kiss my forehead, "Our guests are waiting for us dear. Let's go greet them in our new light." Alastor said to me with a big smile.
I took another breath then smiled back and nodded.
The music changed again but it was something jazzy and then the DJ built up the atmosphere, making me nervous for a moment.
I then heard him announce. "Let me introduce the married couple of the day, Alastor and Heart. Come on in guys!"
I took another breath, put my ears up, and we both walked into the room. This was my first time seeing how the room was now set up. Charlie and I had the idea of how we wanted everything, and it looked just as we pictured. The tables all had alternative colors, purple and red. The centerpieces were old radios with flowers planted in them, a nice touch I wanted to do for Alastor. Each flower was the opposite color of the tablecloths. The plates were black on every table. The wedding party was sitting at their own table and Alastor and I had our own in front of the room. Our tables have purple with some lights swirled into them. Like a galaxy with stars. The dance floor in the middle of everything.
I managed to take in all of this as we walked in and it all looked fantastic. As we were walking Alastor gave me a small spin as everyone was clapping for us. We stopped at the middle of the dance floor. We were going to do our first dance right away. It would be weird, but I feel it would calm my nerves because I didn't mind dancing with Alastor in front of others.
The DJ then announced, "Now that everyone has been introduced. Why don't we start the party off with the first dance?"
Alastor and I looked at each other a moment and we both smiled wide. Of course, we have danced before but this one would be different. It was our first dance as a married couple. It was special. The song we were going to dance to would be our song. It was hard to figure out a song we both would enjoy but we both eventually chose something that made it all worth it.
The lights dimmed around the room until there was only one that was on and that light was on us and the dance floor.
I took a breath as Alastor and I got into a position.
"Are you ok?" Alastor whispered to me.
"I'm ok, this is probably the best feeling I've had in a while." I whispered back with a nod.
"This is the best feeling I've had ever. A feeling that's different than I have ever felt and only you bring me this feeling, my little wolf." Alastor admitted to me.
I smiled wide and I felt my heart flutter at his words. "Oh Al."
Alastor put both his hands on my hips while I put mine around his shoulders.
The song soon started. I felt the crowd's eyes on us disappear. It started off slow and we slowly swayed before the lyrics came in.
"How many times do I have to tell you
That you're the person that I adore?
How many times do I have to tell you
And not repeat what I have said before?"
I thought this song would be perfect. In a way I think of it as Alastor talking to me. Always saying that he misses me over a short time and that I am the most important person to him.
"How many ways can I say I miss you
And skip the ever familiar rhymes?
How many times do I have to kiss you?
Don't make it less than a million times"
A chuckle almost wanted to come out loud from that line. My tail wagged though. It was honestly so true because Alastor smothered me and I honestly didn't mind it at all. I felt Alastor pull me close to him and it felt like he may have thought the same because I felt his chest move quickly from a small chuckle deep in his throat.
"I've said over and over and over and over again
That you are my one obsession
But I'd be willing to say it again and again
If I thought it would make an impression"
I feel that's something we can both agree to, being obsessed with each other and I honestly don't mind that at all. It made me happy. This was the best moment, just me and him and it felt like no one else existed.
"How many dreams do I have to sell you
To make the one in my heart come true?
How many times do I have to tell you
Before you know I'm in love with you?"
There was a break from the lyrics and in that moment, I decided to lay my head onto Alastor's chest and hold onto him tighter. I didn't want to let him go, I never would. He was mine forever and everyone would know about it. I felt him hold me tighter as well and he placed his head on top of mine. I felt his breath brush up against my ear. I felt tears form in my eyes and then fall, covering his chest in my tears. They were happy ones because I was just so overcome with joy from everything.
"How many dreams do I have to sell you
To make the one in my heart come true?
How many times do I have to tell you
Before you know I'm in love?"
As the song ended, we stopped swaying to pull apart slightly and he leaned down to kiss me softly. Placing one of his hands on my cheek.
When we pulled apart, I heard the clapping of the crowd and I felt myself blush. I did actually forget there was almost over 100 people watching us. They watched us dance and I saw Nifty off to the side holding a camera, so hopefully she was taking more pictures. Alastor took my one hand then leaned down to kiss it before leading us over to the front table. He pulled my chair out and I sat down, being careful of my dress.
The night was just starting, and I was already having a very wonderful time.
As we both got settled down, the DJ came over to Charlie and gave her a microphone. The hell princess was going to give a welcome toast to start off the other part of the night before deciding to serve food. I was honestly nervous about what she was going to say. Alastor reached for my hand that rested on my lap and just held onto it. I looked to him and he just looked at me with a reassuring smile. I'm sure he was going to keep me calm through the whole night.
With the tapping of a knife to a wine glass, Charlie stood up as everyone looked to her. I saw her take a breath. "Hello and good evening, Welcome to the reception party. I am Charlie and I am one of Alastor and Heart's friends. I helped her out by letting her use my hotel to treat you all, letting her use my event hall to house everyone here for the ceremony and reception. I'd like to start off the evening by telling a small story." Charlie then looked over at us. "If that's ok with you two?" She was asking us to be sure it was ok to do so. We both nodded. I was not ready to be embarrassed. "So, I wanted to start off by saying I met Alastor first who came to my hotel for reasons I still don't know to this day. He was helping me though to get my hotel off the ground. Then a week later Heart showed up to be a patron of the hotel, little did I know that having these two in the hotel together would cause its own sort of chaos." Everyone laughed at that, even I did. I felt my tail start to wag more. "To make a long beginning to a love story short, after two months Heart fell for Alastor's charm after he ran out to save her from a demon who was trying to mug and injure her." I just felt my face start to get covered in a blush as she talked, remembering that day. "It wasn't till then I saw the signs, that he actually did care for someone other than himself." I heard Alastor give a small chuckle. "After that day, the two were inseparable from each other because Alastor took care of Heart and her injuries. Even though they were keeping their relationship a secret at first, I found out right away because I caught them red handed cuddling in the bed." Charlie looked over to us with a smirk and I tried to hide my face. God, just reliving through some memories were going to be so ridiculous to hear out loud being told by others. Charlie laughed. "Anyway, I'm going to end that story there, but there will probably be more throughout the night." Charlie lifted her wine glass. "I would like to start off the night with a toast though. To Alastor and Heart, who have gone through a lot and I can't wait to see what else they encounter together. So, I make this toast for love and may it be endless. Cheers."
I saw everyone lift a glass and the wave of cheers that filled the room. Made my heart feel warm to at least be surrounded by people I at least knew. I took my glass and took a sip as well.
Charlie sat back down, and people went back to talking as I saw some demons come in to get ready for dinner.
Alastor was still holding my hand, he brought it to his lips to lay a kiss on it. I looked to him. "I'm sure we will both be embarrassed throughout the night." He said to me low with a chuckle.
I just giggled. "Most likely. We have a weird story after all."
"I will agree to that my dear." Alastor leaned down closer to my face. "I regret doing many things to you, but at the same time there are some things I do not regret. It all has led us here. I would go back and change some things if I could, but for now I am happy with what I have." Alastor flashed me one of his big, almost scary, smiles.
"I wouldn't take back anything. Maybe a few things I would have like to have changed but I am happy. I'm happy with you. I'm happy for us. Maybe the universe threw us through some tests, and I think we passed. So far anyway." I added in.
"The tests will never end; we will continue to be tested." Alastor said as he held tighter onto my hand.
I nodded, "It's up to us to make sure we pass. Together."
Alastor leaned forward and kissed my forehead, "Together." He whispered.
They served dinner and it was very great in my opinion. Of course, Alastor being the foodie he is, thought it was ok and needed something. He ate it though and enjoyed it, I think. While everyone was finishing Lizzy decided to grab the mic and talk about some embarrassing stuff about me when I was younger and when first in hell. Then said how she hated Alastor and still kind of does. How she beat the shit out of him a couple times for reasons she didn't explain.
Lizzy finished with, "I know what's best for my sister though deep down." She looked at us. "And I know in my heart that Alastor is good for my sister because together they can get through anything. I've seen it firsthand what they are capable of together and that's some strong shit."
After Lizzy, Husk decided to say a few words. And by few, I mean like a sentence because he was already getting drunk. "Those bastards love each other, and they are crazy getting married, but they are good together so do whatever the fuck ya want." That's all he said.
Me and Alastor both laughed at him.
Since both our parents weren't with us, I thought it be fun to have others want to dance. At least with me since Alastor wasn't much on people touching him. The DJ announced this dance and had everyone form a line on the outer side of the dance floor. To my surprise I had a good amount of people. Everyone had a minute to dance with me.
The DJ put on some slow music and the first one to dance with me was my sister.
"Surprised you wanted to dance with me." I told her as we started to dance.
"Yea me to." She answered.
I laughed, "You just wanted a moment to talk?"
"Maybe. I just wanted to tell you that I love you ya know. I know I say that because I'm your sister, but I do love you. You're my one and only big sis and I'll look out for you. No matter what."
"Thanks Lizzy. I really appreciate that coming from you. I love you too. You'll always be my little sister." I told her as I hugged her tight.
"Absolutely. I'll always have your back." Lizzy told me as a small smile came onto her muzzle.
We danced for a few more seconds and it was Charlie who came up next.
Automatically I wanted to thank her, "Charlie, I can't thank you enough for this amazing night."
"Aw Heart I was absolutely glad to help you guys out. You don't really have to thank me." She smiled.
"Well, I'm thanking you anyway. Everything looks amazing. I wouldn't have been able to do this without you." I said.
She giggled. "It was my pleasure. I want to thank you for letting me be a part in the wedding as well."
"Absolutely. My wedding wouldn't be the same without you." I smiled.
Soon it was the end of Charlie's turn and Vaggie was next.
As soon as we started dancing, the moth girl apologized to me. "Heart, I just want to say I'm sorry to you."
"Sorry? For what?" I asked her.
"For how I convinced you to treat Alastor when you first got to the hotel." Vaggie said.
I shook my head at her "Vaggie its ok. I didn't listen and we had our arguments, but we are here now, aren't we?"
"Well, yea I guess so, although the road was rocky."
I gave a small smile, "What road is smooth?"
Vaggie just laughed.
When Vaggie was done I danced with Rufio, who was sitting in line waiting for Vaggie. I took the hounds giant paws into my hands and laughed as we did a small dance together. The hound had fun as he barked and then leaned up to give my face a lick.
After that, it was time with Yumi and Rad, then I danced with some other guests, even Angel decided to dance with me. All he talked about was Russell and how he was going to try his best to catch the bouquet. After about two more guests, Russ came up to me.
"Howdy." Russ greeted as he came up to me, tipping his head like he had an imaginary hat on.
I smiled, "Hello Russ."
We went into a dancing position.
A little after we started Russ said, "I know we have said before and I'm sure others have said so, but you look very beautiful today."
I felt a small blush, "Thank you Russ. I appreciate that."
"Absolutely." Russ flashed his snake fangs in a smile.
"Russell, can I apologize to you?" I sighed.
That night with Russ when he kissed me never left my mind. I know that he still liked me even though he couldn't have me. He loved Angel though, but I still feel bad about breaking his heart.
"For what Mrs. Heart?" Russ asked as he tilted his head.
"I know it's behind us in the past and I've said it once before, but I still feel the need to say this." I took a pause. "I'm sorry for breaking your heart back when we first met."
Russ just gave a chuckle. "Heart, I've told you that I forgave you for that. Besides, we are more like friends now and I would have never met Angel thanks to you." I saw him look over my shoulder and I saw a soft gaze come to his eyes.
A soft smile came to my face. "You love him?"
Russ turned to me, "Absolutely I do."
"What if he catches the bouquet today?" I asked him with a smirk.
"Then I hope I catch the Garter." Russ answered with a laugh.
I laughed as well.
Soon Russ's time was up and then Dr. Talon walked up.
"Ah, Marcus, it's good to see you." I said to him as he started to dance with me.
"Nice to see you too, ma' lady." Dr. Talon said.
I'll be honest that I was afraid of the wolf demon at first but that was only because of what he did to me and being under the control of a crazed demon who decided to have things done to me. Now though I found him as a friend, and I knew I was going to get closer to him because of his experiment.
Which reminded me, "Dr. Talon, can I see you after the party is over or close to being over?"
"Why of course. What is it you need from me, fit bird?" Dr. Talon wondered.
I took a pause and looked away from him a moment, but then looked back up at him, "I want...I want you to inject me with your serum before I leave for my honeymoon." I finally got out.
I felt the wolf demon's tail wag, "Oh yes, I do remember you mentioning that to me." I smiled as he said that. "I have some ready upstairs. So just find me later and we can go up to my room to take care of you."
My tail wagged to. "Thank you. I just want our time away to be special you know."
Dr. Talon nodded. "I understand. It's a big day for you guys and I also feel that your days after should be special. We can talk more about it later."
After Dr. Talon left from our dance, I had a few more guests to dance with and last in line was the small bird demon, Chicka.
"Looks like your last Chicka." I said to her as we started to dance.
"Oh, I don't mind. As long as I get the chance." She chuckled.
I danced with her and it was about 30 seconds longer since we waited till the end of the song.
Soon the dances were over, and I decided to rest a little up next to Alastor while the DJ had an open dance floor.
As soon as I sat down Alastor asked me, "You looked like you had fun out there dear."
"It was very fun." I said with a smile.
"Made me a little jealous. I wanted to join you." Alastor told me.
I chuckled, "Maybe we can dance more later."
"I will make sure we do. Will you sing for me, mon amour?" Alastor wondered.
"I'll do it for you honey, but later." I answered and kissed his cheek.
People danced on the dance floor for a while and I watched them. Me and Alastor had some small chat. Again, I asked for a hint on the honeymoon, but he said he wouldn't tell me. No hints. Only thing he said was that we would leave after the party was over. Which I was ok with because I was excited.
The DJ then announced it was time for us to cut the cake and we walked over to the table where it sat. It was my first time looking at the cake all together and I was super happy with how it looked.
It had three tiers that went: purple, red, then purple again. The red cake was just for Alastor, I knew he didn't like sweet stuff but the closest I could get was a dark chocolate cake with some not too sweet icing that tastes like coffee. The red was so nice and even had deer antler designed around it. The purple was vanilla cake with buttercream icing and the design on both purple cakes were black swirls and flowers. It turned out so pretty. On top of the cake was the topper, I had a deer and a wolf put on top of the cake and I thought it looked adorable.
With Nifty still taking pictures we cut a piece of cake and even cut a small one for Alastor of his red cake. We both fed each other a piece of cake at first and it was good. I then saw a smirk come to Alastor's face.
"Alastor, don't you dare." I warned.
But his smirk just grew. He then took the plate and decided to push the small piece of cake into my face. I yelped in surprise from the action and all the deer demon did was laugh as well as others. I cleaned some icing from my eyes then took the piece in my hand to slam it into his face while he was too busy laughing. He automatically stopped laughing and then glared at me and then it was my time to laugh at him. We were just having fun and eventually Alastor lost his glare and just started to laugh again. While we still had icing on our lips, we gave each other a kiss.
We eventually cleaned off our faces and they took the cake away to cut it.
In the meantime, while they cut the cake for everyone, the DJ announced for people to get off the dance floor and for all the ladies to get ready for the bouquet toss.
I had my bouquet on the table, so I grabbed it and made my way back to the dance floor where people were gathering.
I stood on one end while the girls stood on the other, Angel also there of course.
I turned my back to them, and the DJ counted down. "3...2...1!"
At one I tossed it back into the air. While it was in the air, I quickly turned around to see who would catch it. I was surprised and honestly not surprised at the same time when I saw Angel use his height to his advantage and even pushed a girl to the ground.
Once his one hand caught it, he came running out of the group screaming, "Haha! I got it bitches! In your face!" He turned and pointed at them laughing. I could also tell that Angel had been drinking a little and sounded slightly drunk. The spider demon went over to were Russ was standing beside the dance floor and pulled the snake demon into a long kiss. Russ's eyes went wide in surprise from the sudden kiss. I gave a small chuckle from seeing the two.
As I watched them, I then felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked back to see Alastor had brought a chair onto the dance floor. I heard the music change a moment and then the DJ announced that it was time to the garter toss but first things first; Alastor had to get it off me. This would be fun to watch.
The deer demon took my hand and led me over to the chair and sat me down. He did a circle around me once and his eyes never left me. They almost gave off a glow. He went to my ear while he was behind me. "It's going to be hard to come up from being under your dress. Considering where I'm going to be." He whispered huskily into my ear.
Shivers went down my back at his words. I said nothing as he continued his circle around me and then stopped when in front of me again. He kneeled down on both knees and pulled up my dress to sneak his way underneath, he was trying to be careful with his antlers, so they didn't rip at my dress. I was laughing the whole time.
Alastor could not be seen but he could be felt. Boy did he make sure I knew he was there. I felt him run his clawed hands up my legs as he trailed kisses along my thigh. He slipped his hand a little further up my one thigh and played with the edge of my stockings I had on. I felt him pull it down a little to lick the skin underneath, which sent another shiver up my spine. Alastor knew he couldn't stay under there forever, so he fixed my stocking and then went to the garter to grab it between his sharp teeth then pulled it down off my leg. He crawled out from underneath my dress.
The deer demon looked at me with a smirk as the matching purple garter hung from his mouth. I laughed at him. "You're so bad you know that?"
Alastor took the garment out of his mouth and laughed as well. "I know, but don't tell me you didn't like it."
A blush formed on my face. "Maybe I did, but that's for me to know and you to find out later." I answered him sternly.
Alastor's eyes glowed a moment as he slit them at me, and I heard a low growl come from his throat. "No fun."
He helped me up out of the chair and I decided to put it to the side while the guys decided to gather on the dance floor now across from Alastor.
Alastor twirled the purple fabric in his fingers while the DJ counted down. "3...2...1!"
At one he shot the garment out of his fingers like a rubber band and flew towards the guys. To my surprise, I watched as Russ jumped high into the air and caught the garter above everyone's head. Looks like those dancing legs of his came in handy. I clapped for him, but I then noticed Kota almost looked disappointed because it was heading towards him.
I brought the chair back out onto the dance floor and Angel quickly appeared and sat right in it. Russ just looked at the spider demon and shook his head. He was way too excited. Angel had his legs crossed and looked at the snake demon almost seductively.
Angel then uncrossed his legs and stuck one out to Russ. "Well ya better be creative when puttin' that on boy." Angel told him.
I chuckled when I saw a blush come onto Russ's face as he kneeled and slipped the garter around his boot at the bottom. He slipped it up a little more before he took the fabric between his teeth and managed to pull it pretty far up Angel's leg before stopping and pulling away. They say the further you got the garter up the better luck a couple would have. When Russ stood up, he sat in Angel's lap and gave the spider demon a deep kiss. Angel, being the asshole he was, gave everyone the middle finger while being kissed. I thought it was funny and laughed at the two. Russ pulled away from the kiss and stood up, taking Angel by one of his hands and pulling him up off the chair and off the dance floor. Someone removed the chair while Alastor and I went back up to where we sat.
The DJ was going to then have open dancing now. So, everyone could come out to the dance floor and have fun. He started to put on some more modern music but Alastor seemed ok with it since he wanted people to have fun still. I watched as people soon started to really have fun out there. I just wanted to rest a moment, but then I saw Dr. Talon sitting at his table alone as he sipped on a drink. I then figured that now would be the time to talk to him.
I looked to Alastor next to me. "Hey, Al, I'll be right back ok?"
"Sure thing dear, go have fun." Alastor said smiling as he waved his hand for me to go.
"I won't be long." I said as I stood up and walked away from the table.
Soon I walked up to Dr. Talon, he saw me walk up to him. "Do you mind if we do it now while everyone is busy dancing?" I said over the music.
"Not at all." He finished the last bit of his drink. "Come with me, let's go up to my lab." He said as he stood up.
I walked out of the event hall with Dr. Talon beside me. The walk to the elevator was silent. When he got into the lobby, I saw a few stray people had made it out here and most of them were just making out if anything. I just ignored them and went up the stairs to go into the elevator.
When the doors closed and we started to head up I spoke, "Thank you for doing this for me right now. I appreciate it."
"It's no worry. If that means my experiment can pick back up again then I don't mind."
"Sorry for having you wait so long." I said embarrassed as I rubbed my arm.
Dr. Talon put a clawed hand on my shoulder. "Oh, it was no trouble. I understand your worry with everything because of wedding stuff going on. In that time gap I was able to work on it. Make it better. Plus, focus on other things as well."
"Thank you for understanding." I looked up to him with a smile.
He looked down at me and a smile came across his muzzle. "Of course. What kind of doctor would I be if I didn't understand my patients?"
The elevator stopped and we walked out and headed right into the room.
Dr. Talon went over to his desk a moment. "Just sit on the table and I'll get everything."
Doing as he said I walked over to the table and picked up my dress a little so that I could sit down. I watched as the wolf demon went around the room, he rolled up his sleeves. He went to a small metal cabinet and pulled out an already made up syringe with the purple serum inside, but instead of its dark purple color like I remember it almost seemed to be a much lighter shade of purple.
He walked back over to me and put everything beside me on the table. "Now, I want to go over a few things first." He grabbed a notebook he had sitting there and handed it to me. "I want this to be your journal. Write in it every day. Don't make it a diary. It's for my purposes. I just want you to write down everything that goes on for me."
I opened the notebook and flipped through the empty lined pages, "What do you want me to mainly write?"
"How you're feeling. If you're sick or anything like that. If there's any changes you notice. If Alastor tells you there is something different about you. Anything like that." He took a pause as he put his glasses on. "I know this will be personal to ask, but I will also need you to write down how many times you made love and how many of those times he released inside you. Can you do that?"
A blush formed across my face when he told me about that last part. "Well, I mean, I can try my best."
"That's all I can ask is for you to try." He told me with a flash of his fangs. "It's all for research, but I also care for your wellbeing."
I nodded and put the notebook to the side of me.
Dr. Talon then took an alcohol wipe and grabbed my left arm to clean a spot right in the middle of my forearm. He reached down to grab the syringe.
He looked at me a moment. "You ready?"
"Yes." I answered without a second thought.
"Alright." He then took the syringe and placed the needle onto my arm. "Small pinch." He warned me and then stuck the needle in then pushed the plunger down and I watched at the serum went into my arms, my veins almost glowing a moment from the action. When it was empty and gone, he pulled the needle out then put a cotton ball to my small puncture wound.
"It's done." He looked up to me. "Now, it will take about an hour or so to get through your body, but once it's done. Then you will have a whole week for a window of opportunity."
"A week?" I made sure.
He nodded and then stood up, taking the now un-sanitized stuff with him. "Correct. I was able to modify the serum to be active for a week instead of just a day now. So, during that time as you are away for your honeymoon it will be a full window." He went to a notebook and wrote something down.
"I understand." I got down off the table and went up to the wolf demon. "I know I keep telling you this but, thank you."
"My pleasure." Dr. Talon said as he stood up straight and took off his glasses. "Now you better get back down to your guests before they realize you're gone."
"Guess you're right." I went back to the table and picked up the notebook. "Are you coming back down?"
The wolf demon shook his head. "Nah, I have had enough fun for tonight. I'm not much for parties."
"I understand." I headed over to the door. "I'll see you later then Doc."
"Later, enjoy your night." Dr. Talon waved to me.
I walked down the hallway and back into the elevator. I held the notebook close to my chest. I opened it to the front and noticed that Dr. Talon had written in it. It said: 'PDS Experiment 00297'. I sighed a moment as I looked at it, looked like I was still just a number, but I understood it was all for him to keep track of paperwork. The elevator stopped and I went to my room to drop off the notebook with my stuff, putting it into my bag I was taking with me. Then headed back down into the lobby and got back to the event hall. I looked around and saw everyone having an awesome time as they danced. I looked over and saw Alastor still at the table, but Charlie was there talking with him. He didn't realize I was back yet. I remembered that Alastor wanted me to sing for him. I then looked at the DJ, Nicholas. I had an idea.
I went up to the DJ and got his attention. I whispered something in his ear, and he nodded his head. He waited till the song was over and then turned on the mic.
"Ok everyone, we have a special request. This one is for the groom." He announced and then handed me the microphone.
I looked to see Alastor and Charlie had stopped talking and looked over towards the DJ. He started up the song and I was ready to sing as I walked towards the center of the dance floor.
"Call me darlin', call me sweetheart, call me dear"
I noticed Alastor looked towards me with wide eyes.
"Thrill me, darlin', with a words I want to hear
In your dark eyes so smilin' a promise I see
But your two lips won't say you care for me"
Alastor stood up from the table and started to walk towards me with a soft look in his eyes.
"Oh my darlin', if my daydreams would come true
You would meet me at a secret rendezvous"
Alastor was then standing in front of me as I sang, I grabbed one of his hands.
"And I'd find the paradise that lies deep in your eyes"
I looked Alastor in his eyes as I sang.
"Call me darlin', call me sweetheart, call me dear"
Alastor gave me a small spin as the lyrics broke away a moment. He wrapped his other arm around me and held me close to him and he started to sway with me to the beat of the music.
The last verse was coming up, so I pulled away from him a moment to sing.
"And I'd find the paradise that lies deep in your eyes
Call me darlin', call me sweetheart, call me dear"
As I sang the last word Alastor put a hand on my cheek then leaned down to give me a kiss. Everyone clapped as we kissed, and I just wrapped my arms around him. Someone came up and took the mic out of my hand to return it to the DJ. We pulled apart from the kiss.
"I love you." Alastor whispered. "You are my everything."
"I love you too." I whispered back. "You're my whole world."
We both smiled and kissed again, not caring who all saw us.
When we pulled apart Alastor asked, "What do you say we get out of here?"
"Leave? Now? Are you sure?" I asked worried.
"Absolutely." Alastor breathed out.
"Well, maybe we should tell Charlie first and then say goodbye to everyone." I told him.
Alastor groaned, "Fine."
We left the dance floor and saw Charlie by our table still where Alastor left her.
She greeted us, "Heart that was so pretty. That song was beautiful." She told me.
"Thank you, I thought it be a nice song to do." I said smiling up at Alastor.
Alastor then asked the princess, "My demon belle, do you mind if we leave this little party early? I have somewhere to take my darling little wife of mine and I'd like to head out before it gets too late."
Charlie smiled, "Oh no I understand if you have to leave. It won't be a big deal. I can handle everything here. Don't you worry bout a thing."
"Thank you, Charlie. We appreciate that so much." I thanked her and then gave her a hug.
"Absolutely. I don't mind." Charlie said as she hugged me back.
We separated from the hug. "Can you also tell your Mother thank you? I never got to give her my thanks for doing the wedding ceremony."
Charlie smiled wide, "Of course. I'll pass the message along to her. I'm sure she will appreciate that."
Nodding, I turned back to Alastor. "Let's say goodbye to everyone and then we can be on our way."
Alastor nodded in response.
The both of us headed towards the DJ and got his attention. We told him that we would be leaving and wanted to say our goodbyes to everyone. The DJ nodded and as soon as the song ended, he grabbed the mic and handed it to me.
Putting the mic to my mouth I started to speak. "Hello everyone! I want to thank you all again for showing up and celebrating this special day with me and Alastor." People clapped as I took a pause. "For now, he and I are going to be leaving and head on our way. We just wanted to say buy to everyone and thank you as well. If you want to give us a final goodbye we will be by the main doors. Thank you." I gave the mic back to the DJ and he continued to play music softly in the background. Alastor and I stood by the entrance of the hall.
As we stood there almost everyone decided to give us last hugs and goodbyes. Chicka came up to us crying and hugging us both before congratulating us again and crying all over us. Saying how happy she was for us both. Yumi and Rad congratulated us as well and Yumi gave me such a big hug and I felt my back crack, which actually felt good. Aldavyz came and said goodbye to us as well and wish us to have a good time on the honeymoon. Nifty came up to us and said that she would have me go through the pictures with her when I got back home, saying she took a lot. I thanked her for that. Angel and Russ were nowhere to be seen but, in my opinion, it was because they were off doing other things that I didn't want to think about.
Vaggie then walked up to me with Rufio. I got down on one knee to look at the hound. I took his muzzle into my hands and kissed his nose.
"You be good for Vaggie and Charlie ok? I won't be home for a little while, so you are staying with them. You promise me to behave?" I said to Rufio.
The hound gave me sad eyes as he heard I was leaving, he gave a whine.
"Aw Rufio it will be ok. I won't be gone long. I promise." I reassured him.
The hound kept his sad eyes but gave me a wet kiss on the cheek.
"That's a good boy." I talked to him in a baby tone then kissed his nose again.
I got up and gave Vaggie a hug, "If he gives you any trouble let me know ok?" I told her.
The moth girl nodded. "Don't worry, Heart, he will be fine with us." She gave me a smile.
I gave a small sigh. "Ok, thank you so much for watching him for me."
"Its our pleasure. Don't worry. Now go have fun." Vaggie finished with a giggle.
Once we all said our goodbyes Alastor and I gave one last wave before walking out.
Woo, reception out of the way. Now let's get to that good stuff *smirks*
