Stacey's POV 

I looked at myself one last time in the mirror and took off the gown.. I hung it back on the rack.

"Stacey, that gown really fits you perfectly!" Aunt compliment me.

"Thanks aunt!"

Aunt Meredith suddenly burst into laughter as if she just remembers something.

"Time really does fly, now little Raymond has got a mate too!" She said.

Aunt took my hand and lead me back to our chairs, Aunt Meredith followed behind us.

"Right, let's tell Stacey how Ray ends up having May as his girlfriend and you as his wife!" Aunt said.

My eyes lits up in excitement, I can't wait to hear his embarrassing moments.

We sat down and aunt clears her throat.

"When Ray was three years old, he heard people saying mate, mate. One day he asked the meaning of mate and his dad explained as best as he could to Ray and Raymond said he'll soon find his mate.... Two days later, Vero came back from Australia... she was wearing a white dress and honestly speaking, Vero is naturally beautiful... like she doesn't need any make-up..."

I nod, aunt Vero is truly beautiful... I sometimes get jealous of her beauty anytime I remember her face.

Werewolves are all beautiful... Why am I not?!

".... little Ray saw Vero and he was awestruck because of her beauty, then he said mate, that he has found his mate... We laugh at him and try to explain to him that Veronica is his aunt and can't be his mate but he wasn't having any of it... He started crying and stomping his feet on the ground... "

I laughed... As I try to imagine Ray's crying baby face and I laugh even more... It's gonna be so cute.

"Are you imagining his crying face right now?" Aunt Meredith asked and I nod.

She joins me laughing, even aunt paused and joins in the laugh too.

".... to make him calm down, Vero then promised to be his girlfriend.. and he was like, do you promise to be my girlfriend forever, ever, ever.. Vero nod and said yes!" Aunt concluded her story.

Such a funny story.. now I know how Aunt Vero became his girlfriend.

"Then how did you became his wife, Aunt Meredith?" I asked.

"Oh, mine is even funnier!" She said and burst into another laugh.

She quickly sobered up though and clear her throat. 

"Ray doesn't have any friends when he was growing up.. no! He have friends but doesn't like playing with them.. he's always on his own space. So, one day, he was flying a kite and the kite got stuck in a tree... He climbed to the top... Honestly, up till now, I don't know how he got to the top of the tree..."

"How old was he?" I asked.

"Six years!" Aunt replies.

"... He was able to get the kite but couldn't climb down, he looked down from the tree top and fear gripped him.. he hugged a branch and starts calling for help but no one heard him... Luckily I was passing by, then he saw me and yelled my name... I looked up and saw him, I asked him what he was doing there, instead of replying me.. he burst into tears..."

So Ray was such a cry baby when he was a kid. 

".... He sat on the tree with burgers hanging from his nose, crying, aunt save me, I'm scared!"

"Oh my goodness!" I exclaims and laughs again.

"I finally brought him down from the tree but Ray didn't let me leave that place... He hugged my legs so tight and said I'm a wonder woman and must marry him... He didn't let me go until I promised to be his wife" aunt Meredith shakes her head as she finish her story.

We all burst into laughter, I never knew Ray was such a cute baby.

As we are still laughing, the alarm I set on my phone went off... I quickly reach for my phone and finds out it's 7:50am already... Time for school.

Aunt said I should go back home.. what excuse should I give now?

As if God heard my prayers, my phone starts ringing.. I check it and see it's Jessy calling.

I quickly answered it.

"Hey Jessy!"

"Hey, Luna, where are you?"

"I'm with Ray's Mom!" I replied.

Aunt and Aunt Meredith are still laughing and reminiscing something about the past together.

"Oh, I'm outside the palace, I'll come get you!" Jessy said.

"No, no, no! Wait for me there, I'm coming out now!" I said.

If I let her come in, aunt won't let me leave with her, she'll know I'm going to school.

"Ok!" Jessy replied and hung up.

I turned to my two aunts.

"Aunt, I'm going home to rest, I'm feeling kinda tired!"

"Oh, right, wait let me send some guards to go with you!" She said.

I get up shaking my head.

"No, aunt, Jessy is waiting for me outside!"

"Jessy? Are you sure?"

"Yes, I should get going!"

Aunt nod, aunt Meredith waved at me as I rushed out.
