This is a very important chapter. This chapter is also LONGER than the last. Yes, longer than the last one. Aren't y'all happy? Thanks for all the lovely reviews and next chapter should be out on Friday.

"North, mate, let me in." Bunny knocked on the main door at Santoff Claussen, trembling in the cold air. He heard yetis grumbling for a little before a stern "What you want, Bunny?"

"North! I just want to talk!" Bunny pleaded. North didn't seem to even think about Bunny's request before a hardy "No!"

"North! Let the man talk!" Bunny heard with relief the sound of Tooth on the other side of the heavy oak door. There was some murmuring barely heard by Bunny's ears and the door creaked open, letting in the freezing rabbit. "Thanks Shelia." Bunny shook his fur to gain warmth and dislodge any snow.

The warm passage way held only a glaring North, neutral Tooth, and a couple of yetis that stood by the massive door. "Bunny, what you want?" North flinched when Tooth hit him, even if she didn't put force into it. "North!"

North glared lightly at Tooth but quickly gave up "Come in Bunny." The trio walked down the halls to the huge living room.

In normal Christmas style there were burgundy couches, deep pine green love seats, and brown, with touches of gold thread, patterned chairs. The comfiest chairs sat close to the wide windows that shared the wall with a grand red brick fireplace that everything was aligned by.

Bunny sat in a cushy chair but didn't settle back into it. He sat on edge as North sat with a sigh in the largest chair and Tooth sat and crossed her dainty legs on a plushy couch.

North glared at Bunny and Bunny had to stop himself from at least holding contact with the steely gaze. Tooth twitched and fidgeted for a moment before talking "What do you need, Bunny?"

Bunny tensed even more but looked to Tooth. She was, after all, the female parent to Jack in some sense. "Tooth, North, I have come to…. I have come to ask permission to court Jack."

Bunny winced as North bellowed "I knew it! You will never see Jack again! If you get as close as five miles to him, I will make new coat out of your fur!"

Tooth tried to break North's rant as he switched to Russian. Finally after seeing North wave his fist at Bunny and motion for a yeti to get his sword, she stepped up. Bunny closed his eyes and heard the slap echo the room.

He opened his eyes when he didn't feel the attack and saw a flabbergasted North with his hand cupping his cheek staring in shock at the dainty Tooth fairy that could pack a punch. "North, sit down and shut up."

North didn't argue as he sat back down and stared at his hand like evidence of the slap could have transferred there. "Bunny" Tooth looked at him and Bunny swallowed "What does this courting involve?"

"Well Sheila, the Alphas involved bring gifts and try to impress the Omega. The Alphas ask the head Alpha of the Omega's family for consent to court but the Omega has choice of their alpha." Bunny was calmer now that North wasn't trying to kill him and Tooth was listening.

Tooth nodded "Why do you want to court Jack? North! Let him answer!" North closed his open mouth and glared at Tooth for a moment before looking away.

Now Bunny was nervous again "Well, he is interesting and a beaut. He's fun, a big tease, and so graceful in the air. Like a leaf dancing on the wind. Jack always works his hardest for what he thinks is right and he looks like a, well a bloody winter wonderland. What with the snow white hair and light blue eyes-"

Tooth placed her hand on Bunny's muzzle "That's enough dear, you love him. I can tell."

Bunny blushed under his fur and his ears folded back in embarrassment. North coughed "Well, as Bunny said the Head Alpha gets to choose and-"

"I say it's fine" Tooth interrupted. North stared at her and she glared back. Finally North bowed his head in defeat.

Tooth squealed once "OH! I get to tell Jack! The girls will be so heartbroken." At that Tooth flew out the door.

North and Bunny watched her fly off then faced each other. At North's stare Bunny smiled nervously "Well, mate. Seems it's time I got back to my warren." Bunny hopped out the door and down the hall with a hurried goodbye to North.
