This is crazy but I am so interested. 

I found this story on Persuing the Shelves. Someone was seeking it and the name was unknown. Thank goodness there are those with great minds of retention. Haha

Hm, an interesting concept of common-law-unions witnessed by creepy elders and family. Very old world Royal.
The Bearing house, I presume is also where the young men learn how to please a woman? Just another version of a brothel under the twisted guise of taking care of the non-ritualed females.
You have left so much room for expansion. Some day you should revisit this story band round out these characters.

Thanks so much for reviewing!  My idea of The Bearing House was a place where non ritualed girls where housed and impregnated by the ruling males.  The children were then given to "Faithful" families to raise.

Great one shot. Have you considered doing a small extension and going over what happened with Tanya. Why she wasn't pure and what happened when she was to do the ritual with Edward. 

OK, so you left a few things opened. Are you going to expand this story?  I know you said guys had to be 21, but is Edward.  I mean he is becoming a doctor and that take alot more than 4 years.  It would be nice to see James get his ass handed to him. I would also like to see the end to this so called religion. Maybe you could expand on that as well.  I just can't stand the idea of those 3 old perverts getting away with this exploitation of women and children.  I see all of the followers as victims, except for those who weld the power over the others.

That was awkward.  Having sex in front of your father.  I can maybe get the reason why Charlie, Esme and Carlisle were there.  To "give away their children and to be part of the "bonding".  But why did Emmette, Rose, Jasper and Alice need to be there?  

Really interesting story! Is this going to be just a one shot? It might be good as a multi chapter. 

What can I say other than wow! It was so different than anything I've read on this site or others like it. Do you plan on doing more to it or is this it? I would love to read more. Nicely done.

That was ... hmmm .... not even sure I have a word for it ... "unique" comes close.

In Bella's place, I would have gone screaming from the room/house although I guess the implication is that she has been raised with this idea. Yikes.

I would love to see this as a full story ... keep going.

Great start to the story and unique idea. Can't wait until the next chapter comes out. Are you a writer that posts on a schedule? Regardless of when  you post again I thin you'll gain a large following.

OW!!! Different. Let me guess, Tanya was not a virgin. What about James? Is he going to be a threat?  Can't wait for you to update.

Wow ! This was really different but still an interesting story. Would like to see what happens next!

Wow this whole ritual thing reminds me of when the royals would wed and the wedding night had to be witnessed but bellas dad. Ewwwww couldn't they have just used the sheets as proof of bellas virtue? Edwards so sweet. Can't wait for the next update

Thanks for reviewing!  I hate to tell you this but there won't be an update for a while.  This was a oneshot, but I am considering making it a full story!  Thanks again for the review!

Different kind of story, I like it
