One lady worked on Delilah while three were on Abby and two on Piper. When Monica walked in with Claire and Rainey it hadn’t seemed like an hour. Mary was right behind them with Skylen and Beth and they had trays of food and drinks. Abby’s hair was placed in huge rollers and her nails were dry so they let her out of the chair to eat. Delilah was sitting on the little couch as the girl who worked on her grabbed onto Rainey.
The laughter and chatter went on for what only seemed like an hour but when Abby looked at the clock it was already two in the afternoon. There were two girls working on her makeup as three let loose the little girl’s hair. Delilah had bouncing rolls where Rainey had her hair braided and there were flowers placed in the braid. Clair had waves and waves of hair that was rolled up the back and then cascaded all around her head. Piper was also finished and Abby hadn’t remembered a time her mother had looked so beautiful. When Monica was finished and Abby thought the same thing about her she began to get teary eyed.
Abby was scolded in a nice way as the girls started to do her eye makeup. A while later they finally placed the mirror in front of her. She looked the same as she always did however they had done her makeup in a way that accentuated all her features. Her lips looked fuller and had a slight shine to them. Her eyes seemed to pop out of her face although in a good way. Her hair was almost to her waist now and they now had slight waves and bounced when she moved her head. The sides had been swept up and there seemed to be glitter in her hair.
Colleen made Abby and the girls sit there while she showed her team out of the house and into a waiting car. Zoe had handed them each a thick envelope before they left. Colleen came back in the room shortly after carrying three smaller bags. They let Delilah go first and her dress was magical. Since there was not a color scheme to the wedding Abby knew the dresses would signify their race. Delilah’s dress was a soft blue silk with a lace cover. Once it was on the dress really did look like waves. Rainey dress was a pearl covered bodice and the skirt was creamy silk that was ruffled and held with pearls. Claire’s dress was the color of Dragon fire. Purples and blues with a hint of orange. It was stunning.
Piper dress was a gown done in dark purple and black with a small train in the back. It was simple but elegant. Monica’s dress was similar but did not have a train instead it flowed over her feet and out to the sides. Pictures were taken and then it was time for Abby to put her dress on. Colleen brought out a bag and Abby was almost jumping in place.
“This is a very special dress that Zoe has been helping to design since the first weddings you guys had. I have been working on it since you stopped growing so for three years now.” Colleen said and Abby just looked at her and Zoe like they had a booger in their nose.
“Seriously?” Abby asked
“Yep!” Zoe stated as she unzipped the bag. Once it was open all Abby could do was stand there with her mouth gaping open. Piper began to tear up and the three little girls began to oooh and aahh. The dress was like nothing she had seen before. She looked down at her engagement ring and then at the dress. The swirling diamond on her ring was the same that was on the bodice of the dress.
The bodice of her dress was all swirling black and white diamonds in a scale pattern. It really did look like Dragon scales and it flowed down the side of her hips. The dress fit like a glove. The skirt was slightly tight in the front at her thighs and then flowed out with a long train. In front was white silk which towards the bottom and back morphed into black. This dress was nothing like the dresses she remembered from the last wedding. This dress was more than she had expected.
“ZOE! COLLEEN! This is…this is….my god this is gorgeous!” Abby gushed
“So you do like it? Because you have just been standing there silent with your mouth hanging open.” Zoe stated
“I love it.” Abby began to cry
“Nope nope none of that! Now I need to get my dress on and then we need to head out the guys and boys should be downstairs waiting except Ben he should be at the terrace waiting. So give me one moment.” Zoe said as she disappeared in her closet. She and Colleen both had been working on themselves while the girls worked on them. Once they were ready they headed down to the main floor. There they found Aidan, Brad, Orin, Barkley and Shane. Also there was the man that Colleen had started dating again. He was now a trusted human. Pictures were taken again and after thirty minutes they headed outside.
The open space in front of the main house had been extended like the beach a few years ago. It was now big enough for everyone to shift and a small parking lot for the family vehicles that was at the far side of the house hidden away. This area however had been transformed while Abby had been inside. It how had rows upon rows of benches on both side of an aisle. At the end of each row was an awning with hanging flowers on vines at ran up the sides and top. Ribbons of white and black were tied on the inside aisle of each bench. At the end of the aisle Mr. Steinman stood inside of a gazebo and next to him was Ben.
Ben’s tux was white with a black shirt and vest with white buttons. Those buttons were huge black and white swirl diamonds. His cufflinks were also the diamonds and his lapels were also done in diamonds that looked like small scales. His hair was long and loose like Abby liked it. Aidan her father handed her a bouquet of flowers as she took his arm. The girls and their mates walked down one by one tossing flowers out as they went. Sawyer and Preston went next each carrying a black pillow with a ring on it. Then it was Abby’s turn.
Abby draped her arm under and over her father’s arm he then led her down the aisle. The smile would not leave her face and Ben looked on with such love in his eyes that she wanted to cry. Mr. Steinman said a beautiful poem and then did the traditional wedding. They both said “I do” and the rings were placed on their fingers. The band that went to Abby’s ring was all small diamond and Ben’s ring was a band of platinum with one swirl diamond in the middle.
After the reception Ben carried her into their new home. Their parents had worked together and the house was completely decorated much to Ben and Abby’s surprise. He didn’t put her down once they were inside however. He carried her all the way to their new bedroom and took his time with her. It was both of their first time but Ben was not shy as he slowly undressed himself leaving his pants on while he took her dress off. He was slow and carful with her and when the time came for them to bite one another the rush overcame her. She tried to be gentle however there was no time to wonder if she was. A tingling sensation ran over her everywhere and she just knew they needed to get outside. Everyone was waiting in the field already shifted into their Dragon forms with children on back and some in the Onyx’s arms. They flew for the first time.
A year later Abby and Ben welcomed their first daughter Mia to the world. Abby had asked for Bristol and Harley to be in the living room with Costin. As soon as Mia was born Costin bolted himself into the room. He looked at Mia with such love and devotion as he gently kissed her forehead and went back to his parents.
The years were good to them and after another twelve years Abby had a son. An Onyx boy they named Taggart. Two years later she gave birth to another Onyx boy they named Finn. Saul and Bailey were the first to get pregnant and they had a little Onyx girl named Cadence and she had turned out to be Taggart’s soul mate. Braden and Talya had been impatient and she had become pregnant at nineteen and given birth to Finn’s soul mate Myra. It seemed that they were extinct no longer as more years went by and the Pearls had Pearls babies, the Water had Water babies and so on.
Life was good to them all as children grew and started families. Lots of weddings took place as well as lots of births. They were no longer an Extinct Race.

Message from the Author
I would personally like to thank you all for purchasing my books and I hope very much that you enjoy it as much as I have in writing them. This idea came to me in a dream and I spent the next morning talking it out with my hubby. He encouraged me to write it out and here I am now. The first book is The Pearls and is available in E-Book and print. This is the last book in this series but I will be writing more books.
I hope you all enjoy my books and I hope to write many more. Already have thoughts on another series I want to write as soon as I am done with this one. I have turned a dream into reality and I hope that you can too.
