Romulus P.O.V:

She moved restlessly through the night mumbling little things i could barely make out. But i couldn't sleep knowing that this whole time i hadn't taught her anything about the culture she was brought into. She was blinded by pure innocence, she knew nothing , and that's why she would get hurt. But no more starting tomorrow i will teach her the history of everything i know. She will also not be defenseless anymore, I'm going to teach her everything. I watched as she silently rolled towards me throwing her arms across my chest in exhaustion.

NEXT MORNING Tara P.O.V:

I woke to the soft pull of sheets from my body as Romulus rolled out of the bed.

"Why are you up so early?" I mumbled rubbing my eyes.

"Because we start training this morning."

"Training?"

"Yes, and also your lessons." Romulus said while slipping on his shirt.

"Your actually going to teach me about werewolves?" I said with a bright smile.

"Yes now come on my little trainee."

He tossed me a pair of tight pants the ones that fencers wear and a white blouse with riders boots.

"No frilly dresses?" I mocked.

Romulus smiled at that. "No. I don't think frilly dresses are right for such a robust woman such as yourself."

I smiled and quickly grabbed everything and walked to the bathroom again taking the sheet with me.

"Woman!Why do you insist on ruining our bed every morning and making Martha's life that much harder."

"Because my dear Roman I do not wish to plague your eyes with the tragedy as my body." I huffed again making my way to the bathroom until I felt the sheet tug from under my fingertips. I looked back to find Romulus's foot on the sheet holding it in place.

"Oh dear Tara you dear naked bodice would be a pleasure for this savage roman to bear witness to." I laughed and pulled the sheet again losing more of it to Romulus's pesky foot.

"You miss understand me I do not call you a savage roman. I called you Roman because it's short for Romulus. But although your hands have not done the foul deed. Your eyes are hungry and savage." I didn't want to show him anything and the bathroom was only a couple feet away but I believe this flirtation is giving him ideas.

"My dear, dear Tara my heart warms at the humbling nickname you have bestowed upon me. But you have no idea of how hungry this wolf is for just a glimpse at your ivory bodice."

His deep and hungry words made me shiver and heated my entirety. I looked at the door to the bathroom and back to Romulus who looked like he had a devious idea. He looked down at the sheet and bent down.

"You wouldn't dare!" I shouted.

Romulus licked lips and grasped the sheet in his large hands. I made a quick dash to the bathroom before he could pull it off. I made it safely to the bathroom. Romulus tapped his fingers against the door.

"Come on little one come out and play." he whined

"Tisk, tisk Roman you've lost the battle."

"But I'll win the war." I heard his smile through the door.

I laughed and so on the rider's pants and blouse realizing something as I did. I didn't have a corset.

"Oh Roman." I said through the wooden door.

"Yes little wolf?"

"Will you have Martha bring me a corset please?" I asked through the wooden door.

"Why should I hmm?"

"Alright what do you want?" I laughed knowing full well what he wanted.

"Let me see some of your beautiful ivory skin, and then I'll consider getting Martha for you."

I needed that corset but I certainly wasn't going to show Romulus my naked entirety. So I got an evil thought in my head to give him exactly what he wanted without showing him everything.

"You promise Romulus?"

That seemed to take him by surprise because his words came out in a stutter.

"O-O-Of course." I smiled wickedly and slowly stuck my bare leg out of the door then quickly drew it back inside.

"You dirty little cheat!" He laughed.

"You promised Roman." I laughed through the other side of the door.

"Alright I'll go get Martha." He muttered then I heard the door close. A few moments passed before the door opened again.

"Martha?"

"Yes Dear."

"Oh good I need your help to get this corset on."

"Of course."

When Martha finally finished lacing the corset she left the room.

"Breakfast is downstairs Miss Tara."

"Alright Martha I'll be down in a moment."

I finished slipping and tying on the complicated rider's boots then knotted my hair in a braid and opened the double doors. I headed down the large winding staircase down to the main foyer. I stopped in the middle and looked left and right.

"Oh great now where do I go?"

"Go to the left." A small voice said in my head making me jump.

"Jesus!" I shouted. "Don't just pop in like that! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"

Violet giggled. "Sorry just thought you might want to know that Romulus is waiting for you with May his mother, Lily, and Lucian. So just be ready for some bonding time."

"Well thank you for telling me."

"It's my pleasure."

I turned left as Violet instructed and headed down a corridor with more doors.

I didn't know where to go so I asked a servant girl that was passing by.

"Do you know where the main dining room is? Sorry but there's just some many doors I have no clue where I'm going."

The girl had dark black hair and a frail face with strikingly blue eyes.

"Of course Luna. It's those two white double doors."

"Thank you so much. What's your name? "

"Oh my name is Angelica."

"Oh beautiful name, well Angelica you don't need to call me Luna you can just call me Tara and thank you again."

"You're welcome Tara."

I walked to the white double doors and pulled them open to reveal a huge room with an even bigger table in the middle of the room. With Romulus sitting at one end, May, Lily, and Lucian sitting by him. Lucian and Lily on his right sitting next to each other, looking at each other lovingly. May was on his left motioning with her hands to come sit with them. I slowly walked over towards them taking a seat next to May which was one over from Romulus. He gazed upon me and greeted me.

"Good Morning Tara." He smiled.

"Good morning Roman." I smiled at the mention of his nickname and so did he.

"Good morning May, Lily and Lucian." I said quickly trying to not sound rude for completely forgetting they were sitting with us.

May laughed "Interesting morning already i see?"

I looked down at my hands in my lap embarrassed at the conversation.

"Well Tara." Lily started "I'm so glad that your alright after that whole mess yesterday. What happened to make your run off like that?"

I quickly looked to Romulus in pure utter panic. I didn't expect questions to come so quick. What was i suppose to say? I ran off into the woods towards my old burned house after i said i would never bear your son's children because i was scared?

Romulus was about to say something when shockingly May did.

"Lily leave the poor girl alone. Let her eat first then we'll all get to ask questions, but until that time why don't you tell everyone of your wonderful news."

Lily beamed with excitement as she stood up almost knocking Lucian out of his seat.

"i'm pregnant!" she shouted.

"Congratulations Lucian!" Romulus shouted shaking Lucian's hand and giving him a hug"

"That's amazing news Lily."

"Thank you all."She smiled brightly.

Romulus then got up while all the commotion of baby showers and things while going on, and walked over to me, and sat right next to me.

"Now here's your time to ask about werewolves. You want to know our history why not start with the birth of them? don't worry about any ridicules questions if you want to know just ask it."

I looked at him and smiled. "Thank you."

"May?" I asked quietly at first then a little louder."May? Who was the original werewolf?"

May stopped and thought for a moment. "We are not entirely sure just because that the origin of the werewolf is from a story. The tale of the two brothers."

"Oh i love that story.'' Lily spoke softly snuggling into Lucian to listen to the story.

"Children are raised up on this story because they too are interested of the history of our kind. But this story is not just about werewolves it's also the origination of vampires."
