Novel & Cerita Tied With A Ribbon

"Sorry, sorry. Let us do the ceremonial ribbon-tying." Slowly, and with the promise of our future together, we interwove our ribbons until they were a tight braid between us. While shifters were quite complicated creatures, we still valued simplicity. The ribbons of our birth packs' official colors were interwoven as much to represent mates' souls coming together. To seal the bond, we each tied the end into a knot. We received a round of applause and a few joyous howls, and then it was time for the crowns.

Adrian gave back full control to me after few minutes and I took a hold of Zoey’s hand. I was busy taking in every inch of her and memorizing it when my eyes noticed the red ribbon in her hair. I shook my head and decided to open her hair so that she feels more comfortable and bent forward to untie the ribbon. When my fingers untied the ribbon and took it off, my eyes furrowed when I noticed that it is a red tie and not a ribbon. I placed the tie on the bed for a moment and removed the hair tie she had underneath the tie before running my fingers through her long hairs to comb them.

“Then turn around!” I turned—and nearly dropped dead on the spot. Levi stood in the doorway like the damn prince of romantic gestures, holding a massive bouquet of white roses in one hand and a heaven-sent box of bacon-wrapped boneless fried chicken in the other. “Hey gorgeous,” he grinned. “Ta-da!” Flowers. Chicken. Cravings nailed like a psychic. I hate how perfect he is. I hate it because I can’t hate it. “What’s this for?” I asked, suspicious.

He did it fast and well, looping it again so I couldn’t move my arms. “So that’s how you knew how to tie us both with one hand,” I said, breathing hard. “It’s called a hogtie.” He gave the ribbon a little pull. “Lift your feet.” After that, he tied my legs, connecting the ribbon from my wrists to my ankles. I felt like a little pig ready to be cooked over a fire. I laughed, a little out of breath. Partly because I was excited, and partly because giving up control felt wild and fun. The bed moved as Aiden leaned back to look at me. I couldn’t see his face, which somehow made it even hotter.

I encourage her as she blushes at Alex who smiles at her with the rest of the herd taking a seat next to me. Anna presented me with a rubber plated bracelet with five different colored rubber strings “wow… this is beautiful.. does each is it each of your favorite colors intertwined with mine?..” I ask and they all nod shyly I kiss each other their cheeks and hug them all close “well I guess I have to wear it then.. it’s so special, so each of you has to tie a knot.” I instruct as nod eagerly and set to work.

She laughed as she looked at the ribbon. “It’s not as hard as it looks.” I mused. “Well, considering my dominate hand is now all bloody, my uncoordinated hand will prove you wrong.” I laughed with her shaking my head. “It seems we both will be in trouble then. Considering I sliced the palm of my dominate hand too.” A small error on my part, but we would be fine. I wrapped the ribbon around our wrist twice. Imelda was giggling as we struggled to make a knot.

I pull on my ball gown and then realise I have no way of zipping up the back. Try as I might, nothing is going to help me get that zip up. With a sigh of frustration, I realise that I am going to need Alex's help. I call down and moments later I hear his footsteps on the stairs. As he enters my room, I take in the sight of him suited and booted in his tux and, for a moment, my heart skips a beat.

“Help me?” “To get her attention,” Isabella said. “I saw how you looked at her on the island, how you talked to her. I know you want her, and I know what it feels like to be ignored. They’ll come back to us faster if we work together. Two heads are better than one.” “I don’t know. I want to do this on my own.” “Oh, come on. Don’t be like that. I’m trying to be nice here.” Isabella smiled sweetly. “Let’s do a double date. You and Ainara. Me and Andres. Let’s see what happens. I’ll plan everything.”

He motioned to them. “These ribbons are intertwined as symbols of their commitment and loyalty to each other and the love they have for each other. These ribbons are tied to join the hearts of each couple, these mates promise and swear to love, cherish, and commit to each other for the rest of their days. They promise and swear to love and adore each other as their bond and love grows and strengthens. Do you all promise and swear by these vows?” He asked.

he said, with a mysterious look on his face. “Yeah, I have raced one or two times,” I replied. “I thought it was your first time,” Ronnie said, pulling in for a conversation. “I wish,” I said, “but I’m not racing.” “Then why are you in the racing line?” Ronnie said. A smirk came across his face. ⸻ “No, no, no. Wait, Ronnie. I’m not racing—Nick is!” I tried to tell Ronnie, but he was already caught up in his usual mischief and didn’t even hear me. Meanwhile, Nick and Amike both looked up in surprise.
