Old ways in a new world II (Wolvenrogue and Nightsorceress)

Mileena smiled as he watched the cookies bake she took a seat next and waited. Once the timer went off she pulled the cookies out of the oven.
 
Ashe stole one as soon as it was out of the oven still soft and hot. "They are perfect, you are a pretty good cook!"
 
"Well there are lots of other foods in there too. Aunt Elizabeth was a very good cook. She and my mother had many friendly competitions. When your feeling better about cooking we should have the family here for dinner some night. I know you can do it."
 
"I learned enough to survive. She made me do that. I was too busy getting in trouble after that, besides my hands were always disgustingly dirty."
 
Perhaps partially, but mostly because of what my mother taught me, that whatever happened, I must love my mate, and wait until I did.
 
"I am glad your mother taught you to love, it is such a wonderful feeling, I don't understand how anyone can go with out being loved, it's to painful."
 
"It is amazing how many do. and for all the wrong reasons. Think of the women in your old clan. How many ever find it, or the men either, and for what?"
 
"I don't understand it, there is so much more to this world then just breeding, loving someone, being loved, actually loving and being part of your children lives."
 
"It comes from a fear of extinction, when in reality it is the greatest threat to our way of life."
 
Mileena wrinkled her forehead "that I don't understand, if there was love among us it it not stop our kind from going to find love with human."
 
"No it doesn't and that is exactly what was feared, so the young men were trained not to have love, and to mate by instinct, in opposition to the old ways. That way it was hoped that only purebred matings would occur. Love was sacrificed, to maintain bloodline. but something more valuable was lost. Our cultural heritage. That is what makes my parents so different. They are maintaining both."
 
"Your parents and the people here seem happy with that choice. I have been from one end of the country to another and I have seen clans like yours but more often I see clans like mine so until there are more willing to change this horrible cycle is going to continue"
 
Now you know why my parents took such an interest in you. Both for your good, and that of our heritage. The day may come when we will see the need to do the same thing. For now though it is enough that we let our love grow strong, and not worry about such things.
 
"What do you say we take some cookies to my mom? bet my brother and sister will love them."
 
I understand, they can be intimidating because they are so confident. Just remember that confidence comes from living in a safe place and having over come some pretty tough times. They really do understand, especially my mom. She can be tough when she has to but she has a really soft heart.
 
Mileena looked at him and bit her lip. "I hope you are right." She then went and got a nice looking plate to put the cookies on.
 
Hey ... I've been living there a long time. Ashe went and pulled some clothes on as it appeared they were going to take desert to his family.
 
Once Mileena was done playing the cookies she went and got dressed. She then brushed her hair and made sure she looked presentable to meet his family.
 
"You look really nice". He tucked her under his arm as they walked slowly across the compound to his parent's home. They went in the back door to the kitchen, and where Aurora had just just cleaned up dinner and was putting away dishes. "Hi Mom! Mileena baked cookies!" he said with pride evident in his voice.
 
Aurora turned when she heard the door open and smiled at the two. "Oh they look good why don't I make some coffee and we enjoy some" auror went right away to making the coffee
