SHAPESHIFTERS
The Part 41
"Is there still time for me to deliver the milk and eggs?" marco asked, putting sterile milk in a glass bottle.
"It should still be possible. But, can't come back here anymore, we have to get ready for the blessing ceremony" replied Bella, while helping to seal the milk bottles.
"okay! then let's just drop by the store, then we'll head to your parents' house" Marco said, then speed up his movement to pour the rest of the milk into the bottles.
Using Marco's car, the two of them headed to a fresh grocer, then left the livestock.
Without waiting for payment, Marco simply left all the goods he brought, and agreed that tomorrow, Marco would take payment, and the milk bottles were empty.
Marco doesn't want to waste any more time, hastily driving his car to Bella's parents' house.
Seen there, the busyness has spread to the streets in front of the Graham family home.
Marco did not park his car any closer to Bella's parents, and was forced to walk some distance with Bella, from where the car could still be parked.
"It doesn't seem like a simple celebration" Marco said.
Bella seemed to take a long, deep breath, then exhaled quickly and violently.
"Did that bother you?" ask Marco.
"Hmmm... A little bit" replied Bella.
"If you're tired, just say it later! Maybe we can rest for a while, before we meet the guests present" Marco said.
Marco knew that Bella must have been tired of the farm work.
Seeing Bella who looks lethargic, makes Marco feel guilty for making Bella who does her job.
"I'm sorry... You must be tired from that job, right?" ask Marco.
"It's not... I'm just not too keen on meeting the crowd" Bella replied.
Marco and Bella pass through the side gate of Bella's house, to enter the Graham family's house, and without saying much, just say hello, Marco and Bella enter Bella's room.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the room, just before Marco and Bella entered the bathroom.
"You take a shower. Let me open the door" said Marco, then walk to the door and open it a little.
"Marco! You have to get ready in the other room" said Mommy Bella, who was standing behind the door.
"OK, Mom! I take my gear first" replied Marco.
Marco took his suit, and the shoes he would wear at their wedding ceremony, and followed Mommy Bella, one of the rooms in the Graham family home.
"Marco can get ready here" said Mommy Bella, then closed the door, leaving Marco alone.
Marco then took a shower, cleaned himself, and put on his clothes.
The right knock on the door sounded, when Marco was confused, with how to put a tie.
Daddy Bella seemed to enter through the door, and approached Marco.
"Need help?" ask Ben.
"Yes. I don't know how to use this thing myself" replied Marco.
Ben smiled widely, then helped Marco put a tie around his neck.
"You're a good boy! And I hope you'll always look after Bella" Ben said.
"Of course," said Marco steadily.
Ben patted Marco on the shoulder, with a big smile.
"You look handsome. Let's get out now!" take Ben, then walk out followed by Marco.
The decorations in the church look beautiful, and Marco sits in the front row seat, with several young Graham family members, waiting for his show to begin.
Until the wedding ceremony will begin, and Marco is asked to stand in front of the Pastor.
The sound of music and church choir, accompanied Bella who stepped into the church while being held by Ben.
Bella, who looks very beautiful in a wedding dress, makes Marco touched and can not stop smiling, as the woman walks slowly towards him.
The wedding ceremony took place not too long ago, Marco and Bella have been entrusted in the sacred bond of marriage, with the symbol of a pair of rings that are coiled on the fingers of their hands both.
A standing ovation, and the welcome of the people present, provided added happiness for Marco who could now be with Bella forever.
After all the church events were over, they returned to Graham's house, and celebrated their wedding, having lunch with the invited guests.
There is something that bothers Marco, and enough to make him feel very anxious, during lunch together, then pay attention to one by one the invited guests who are present there.
Marco's guess that something was wrong, when he changed shape this morning, was evident this time.
Among the guests, Adaline was seen with other members of the Sums family, appearing to attend the event, although Marco never felt he had invited them to come there.
Marco's guess this time, they did suspect that Marco was the heir to Alpha, making them desperate to come to meet Marco in the city.
Marco could barely smile, as the guests took turns to meet them, congratulating them.
And Bella seemed to notice Marco's agitation, and was not comfortable with the situation.
"What's the matter, baby?" bella asked, in a whispering voice.
Marco then pointed with his eyes, the Sums family sitting at the very back, from the other invited guests.
"Why? Who're they? I don't think I've seen them before" said Bella, who also looked anxious.
Marco held Bella's hand tightly.
"They're the same people as me. They're the ones I met where the shapeshifter lived" Marco said.
Bella looks like a confused person.
"I'm sorry... I didn't invite them here. But, I think there's something that gets them to come to our wedding" Marco continued.
"Is that a good thing? Or bad? Their faces look unhappy." said Bella.
"Did they not like to see you marry me? Because I'm a regular human?" asked Bella, who looked increasingly anxious.
"Not that... I don't think that's the case" replied Marco.
"Then? What's the problem?" ask Bella.
"It's a long story if I have to explain it now" Marco replied.
"But, I must have told you this" Marco continued.
Bella with a clear face, looked at Marco, as if asking Marco to explain it now.
Marco took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
"I'm the leader of the shapeshifters!" said Marco.
Bella's eyes widened, and looked even more confused after Marco said that.
"I'm the son of Alpha, their deceased leader, and I should have gone back there, and taken over the leadership of the surrogate Alpha which made life difficult for them" Marco explained.
"But I have no interest in fighting for power with the brother of my real Daddy, who is now a substitute Alpha," Marco continued.
