The Progression Of Love [Noctavia/Vitani/Travis]

Waking up beside the woman he loved was the best feeling he could have ever thought of. Amora was draped int he linens of their sheets, resting peacefully on the mattress beside him. Damian looked over her features, the sun shone lightly over her face, not directly in her eye, more so below her cheek and trailing down her neck. He leaned in close, whispering into her ear, "I love you, more than you will ever know." He kissed her cheek, her forehead, and finally her lips. As he slipped from the bed, he got ready quietly, changing into a more suitable wardrobe. He grabbed his dress pants, black in color with a straight line ironed into the front of them. He walked to his closet, grabbing the perfect light blue shirt to intensify his eye. Buttoning from bottom to top, he left the top two buttons undone. He did not like the feeling of choking from your own apparel. He moved to the bathroom, brushing his hair into the hairstyle he was most known for keeping. Placing the brush down, he took a deep breath and breathed out as he looked in the mirror. "You can do this, Damian. You've got this" Walking from the bathroom, he looked to Amora one last time. He smiled as she laid there peacefully, sleeping as if nothing int he world even mattered, all things were perfect. Opening the door to their room, he stepped out and closed it behind him softly. Making his way to the elevator, he pushed the button for the top floor. He looked to the mirror in the electric cage lifting him up to the very top. He fixed a few loose hairs and straightened out his shirt, pulling it all the way down so it did not give the bunched up look. Once the doors opened and the chime to the level was reached, he stepped out and moved towards the Alphess room. He had only been here once before the ask the Alphess herself if he could take a mate. She had graciously accepted his question, allowing him to ask Amora for her hand in marriage, and mating. Together they would spend the rest of their days. Balling his fist, he knocked on the door. When the door finally opened, he looked to the ground. "Sorry to disturb you at this early hour, but I must ask something of importance to you."

Rolling over in his sheets, he was awoken by a stiffness. As he rolled into his stomach he felt a great pain in his crotch. Quickly rolling back, sat up and cupped his privates, trying to soothe the pain which he had given to himself by mistake. He awoke from his dream, risen and ready for the day, just as he was every night since Vitani and Travis had begun their love affair. She often found herself the main attraction to his dreams. She was the exotic dancer, the sexy nurse who checked over his broken bones, the sexy librarian which told him to be quiet in the library, and his favorite, the jungle princess who had captured him, forcing him to be her sex slave. Rubbing the sleeping crust from his eyes, he prepared himself for this new day. He has asked her to be his girlfriend, but Travis knew that was not enough. He loved her and wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of his days with her. She was a beautiful girl, so sexy and gorgeous that she could get any male she truly wished to be with. For now she had chosen Travis, for reasons why, he did not know. But he was not going to sit around and wait for her to find something better. He had to go to Noctavia, the Alphess which had captured his attention the first night he joined Eternal Darkness. Pacing around his room, he started to get ready. He grabbed anything he could find at the time, presentable, yet not a wedding looking importance. He was only going to be seeing the Alphess after all. But he needed to be on his best behavior, perhaps even a gift would push the Alphess to the direction he wished. When he was ready, he made his way to the lobby. There was a small flower boutique down the street. They carried the most beautiful arrangements he had seen in all of New York.

Walking inside the small shop, he looks to the bunches and bunches or arrangements. He looked at price tag after price tag, not caring of the cost. He did not know much about flowers, nor what their names were other than the obvious ones. Roses, sunflowers, tulips, and daisies. Some of the flowers held a different color of pigment in their petals, artificial coloring seemed to be a huge thing among the humans. One particular color caught his eyes. It was a single black rose surrounded in what the lady called "baby's breath". As he looked over it in the beautiful red vase, he could not help himself, figuring it could be perfect for the Alphess. Paying for he gift, he headed back to the lobby, nodding to the clerk as he made his way up the elevator once more. Pressing the button for the top floor, he stepped inside the open doors. As the elevator sent him up the multiple floors, he stepped out onto the top floor. With his hands gently wrapped around the top of the vase, he walked carefully. Making his way to the door, he knocked once, a single loud knock, which he could hear behind the door. There were voices which could be heard inside as well. As the door slowly opened, his green eyes met the gaze of blue ones. "Damian, what are you doing here?" he asked as Damian opened the door and allowed the Guardian in. Travis walked in, looking to see Noctavia and Vitani. Immediately his heart dropped. "Oh fuck... She knows.. They've been conspiring against you boy.. Get out while your balls are still safe!" barked the wolf to Travis. But Travis ignored him, standing like a deer in the headlights. "Alphess Noctavia, I got these for you, congratulations on the pregnancy. I came as soon as I heard." he smiled to Noctavia then looked to Vitani, "Good morning Vitani, you are looking radiant as ever." his eyes turned back to the Alphess, speaking through their telepathic connection he continued to smile, "Alphess, I did not know you were expecting so many guests on this day, but I must speak to you on something of great importance."

Lifting his eyes as a new scent attacked at his nose, it was not the Alphess. He looked to the female before him, eying her beauty respectively. She was rather beautiful, a female he had not seen before, nor had he heard of her. Damian entered and sat in the closest open chair available. He looked to the Alphess and then the other female. "Alphess, it is a pleasure to see you again. My apologies for the early hours. At this time, Amora is resting peacefully in our room. She knows not of my coming here, and I wish it to stay that way. I have already asked her to be my mate, and she accepted happily, might I add. I now would like to ask for something of a relevant nature. With the joining of our love and our lives, I ask that I am granted permission to give the gift of life to my mate. She and I have spoken of a family, she wanting it more than I could even imagine. I ask you, Alphess Noctavia, will you allow myself and Amora to.." he paused as he heard a knock on the door. It was a single knock, but it was loud, hard for then not to hear it ring in the room. Quickly he got up from his seat, "I shall get the door Alphess, Vitani, need you not worry about something as opening a door." Damian opened the door, eying the male which came calling. Guardian Travis. He stared to the male, his wolf snarling quietly, "how dare he come at a time like this.. It is blasphemy! And look he bears gifts.. I told you that you should have gotten her something." Damian snapped at the wolf, keeping his appearance calm. He allowed the male entrance, speaking softly. "The Guardian has come calling for you Alphess." As Travis came in, he took his seat to the open chair he had rested in before. He stared at the male, watching and waiting to see what he was here for.

Curious eyes watched as the Alphess moved the vase from the awkward situation it brought. Travis began to wonder if she even liked the gift in the first place, or was merely moving it from sight for other reasons. He was not completely sure. But the awkward feeling quickly left as they listened to each other speaking. Damian had asked something he was not too sure of, but then the Alphess continued to speak on the subject. All his questions were answered. It appeared the male had already asked her permission to take a mate, but now he had asked for something which could not be easily done. It was a known fact that Damian was a mutt. His blood smelled different than that of a pure's. It was also a fact that Amora had been bitten, thus if they were to have a child with one another, it would be a pointless addition to the pack. Surely it would become more human than wolf. But as Vitani spoke to him, he became more intrigued with the words she spoke. Another massage? How could he refuse? Their time together had been rather amazing if he were to be telling the honest truth. He cared for Vitani deeply, wishing nothing more than to ask to be her mate. But it was hard to surprise the girl of your dreams when she were standing in the same room as the wolf he needed to ask. Then came the questions. "Umm.. my phone.. Ah yes, it was on silent and I accidentally left it on the couch. I totally forgot about it until now." He searched his pockets, pretending to recall he still had not had the device. He knew if Vitani asked him of his plans, that he would more than likely tell her. It was hard enough to fib about this phone business, let alone his reason for being here. "I was planning to do a run of the borders, but when I heard the news of the Alphess being with child, I needed to show my support and I thought the flower would make her happy. Not a cure for morning sickness, but it might make her smile." he retorted as he looked to the Alphess. Noctavia, I come here to ask you a matter which has been pressing on my mind for some time now. I am in love with your sister, I only wish that you will accept my request to ask for her to be my mate. I have met many other faes, but no wolf has captivated me like she does. I wish to spend the rest of my days with her. If you will allow it, Alphess? finishing the connection to her mind, he was awestruck to hear the words which came out of her mouth. Luckily he had already been sitting on the couch with Vitani, a bottled water in his hand. His jaw dropped and snapped itself shut quickly. Travis had always wished to be a father, one he never had while he was growing up. But to father a baby, which would not be yours. "Noctavia, I would be honored of such a thing... but.." he said as he turned his emerald gaze to Vitani. Feeling the warmth of her body pressed to his, set his mind a flame with ideas and images of what the future could hold for them. They had never talked about children, if they wanted any of the sort or if it were even an option. "Vitani, you are very important to me, and as my girlfriend, I value your opinion. I would be happy to, but not if it puts the both of us into an awkward situation." He looked to the fae beside him, wishing he could kiss her lips right here and now. But he did not wish to be rude to the Alphess, nor Vitani for starting something like that in the very room he and Noctavia explored one another's bodies in the heat of passion. The wolf chuckled within himself, "such a kiss ass. Tell them to skip the insemination and you shall plant the seed yourself!" the wolf barked. Travis snarled within himself, shutting up the horrid beast. His heart belonged to Vitani, only if she allowed that kind of act to happen, would he then act in that manner.

"Alphess, I understand your concern, I truly do and I would never endanger the life of a possible wereling. I would not wish for my child to have any of the issues I was faced with as a young boy. I know if we were to receive the specimen from a full werewolf, mixing that with Amora's would consider it seventy five percent werewolf, which is more than I could as for. As long as you will allow such a thing, then I shall start looking to members of the pack for aid." Damian listened to the Alphess, taking in her words as well as slightly listening to those of the Guardian and Doctor. The two seemed to be very much into one another. Damian smiled as he thought of his mate, wishing she could be here with him. But he truly wished to ask this on his own. The Alphess seemed very intrigued with his question, a lot of thought had been put into it on her part. He could not blame her for it. When she recommended a specimen in the very room, Damian slowly shifted his gaze towards the Guardian. He looked over his features, his muscle tone was phenomenal. He's facial features held the looks of what seemed any female would want in their male. He was intelligent, brave, and was stronger than many wolves in the pack. He wondered what Amora would think of this idea, but as the man, it was his responsibility to make decisions for their family. As Vitani started to ramble on about Travis, it only made him even more willing to allow it. He looked to the Guardian, watching his features for a reply, yes or no. But he seemed to be spun up on the ideas his girlfriend had on the issue. Could it be that the Guardian loved this girl? He wasn't about to make this decision without her. Damian looked down to his hands, thinking over it as he waited for the male to speak. When words did come out, he was unsure. "Guardian... Travis.. I do not wish to speak out of disrespect to you or your rank, but you would be doing Amora and I a great favor. She has mentioned your good looks before, and I know she would love to carry a child with your genes. We would be forever grateful to you.. And Vitani.." trying to cover all his bases, he made sure to input her as well.

Noctavia, trust me when I say this... I know what you are capable of, but I do not wish to harm Vitani in any way. In fact, I will solely keep it as my sworn duty to keep her from all harm, whether it be exterior, or matters of the heart. I have loved and lost, I know the pain she feels from her past and I will not allow it to happen again. In the short while of my time here, I have come to love this woman more than any other being on this earth. I would follow her to the ends of the earth and back, just to know she were safe from all harm. For her, I would do anything. Travis had come here for one thing, but found himself dwelling in another. The Elite had asked him graciously, a thing he had not been expecting, to sacrifice his seed for the better of their lives. He would be the father, but not really. He did not know if he would ever truly be around the child or be able to speak the truth to it. Damian would claim the father role, as he was mates with Amora, but thinking of this made the brute curious. What if the day came where he wanted to spread his lineage, his name? Would she be willing to abide by his wishes? Would she gift his life as Noctavia was for Daiken? It was all speculation within his mind, but he did not worry of that now. They would speak at a later date with her on it. With the approval of his love, he looked to her, trying to cover his tracks for the small lie he shared with her, the first and last. "I am sorry Vitani, I should be more considerate towards you for that issue. I will do my best to remember such things for you." Holding her hand deep within his, their hands meshed together in a perfect embrace. Their fingers intertwined among one another, like a vine to the trellis. The simple affections they showed one another, forced the male to smile wider than before. His eyes glistened with adoration as he looked to her. "If Vitani allows it, and she does.." he said as he looked from her to Damian, "then I shall accept and help you start your family Damian. I would be honored to do this for you and Amora. Every couple should deserve a chance to increase the pack. I have a feeling you will make a great father, and if need be, you know where to find me for help." He smiled to the Elite and then to the Alphess. He was proud of himself, of Vitani, for going above and beyond for others of the pack. When a tender voice entered the calm dwellings of his mind, he turned to its messenger. Emerald hues stared upon Vitani, shock and adoration shone brightly on his face. His smile widened, baring the dimples to his cheeks. He was overcome with joy, wondering all along who would be the one to speak the words first. It was Vitani. At first he did not speak, but tightened his grip on her hand, he stared into her silver pools, allowing the time to lapse as he tried to calm himself before the others. The wolf rambled around in is chamber, "Now is the time Travis! Take her to the chamber of the Alphess, up the stairs, you know that way. Lay her across the bed and ravish her in only the way you know how. Make her your mate here and now!" Travis ignored the wolf, silencing him with his own thoughts. Vitani Dark, I love you deeply, truly.. His lips pined for her kiss, he wished he could pull her close here and now, pressing his lips tightly to hers at the proclamation of their love and affections for one another.

"Thank you, Travis. You do not understand how truly amazing of a gift this is. Amora and I are very thankful for your offering. I do not mean to leave currently, but I am too excited to sit here any longer. I must go to Amora and let her know of the marvelous news. She will be so thrilled." He smiled to Travis, looking to the Alphess with a big bright smile. He could not believe it was going to happen. He quickly remembered he must schedule a time for them to meet the couple for the process. "Doctor Vitani, I will speak with you at a later time to discuss a date for the whole process. Thank you so much for this opportunity. I think Amora and I both owe you a dinner out or something of the sort." He said with a smile. He could barely sit still. He stood and walked to the door. "I shall let myself out, again thank you everyone. This is one of the best days of my life!" he said as he opened the door and ran out, closing it behind him. He rushed to the elevator, making his way for their room. Damian was so thrilled, he could not take it, forcing Amora awake.
