“I don’t know…” Alexander replied honestly considering it. “I mean, we are getting married with family and friends still, but, at the same time, I also left home and got married without telling anyone… so… maybe?”
“Clara is going to be so mad when she finds out,” Galen chuckled.
“She is definitely going to throw a fit,” Alexander laughed.
“It’s ok,” Galen said, “She has Nessa to comfort her now.”
Alexander smiled.
“I’m glad that worked out that way. I had a feeling they would get along.”
“Don’t you two look happy,” Fiona smiled as she approached.
“I am,” Alexander smiled
“Wow…” Galen said, staring at Alexander, he turned quickly to Fiona. “Did I look that goofy at my wedding?”
Fiona laughed.
“I’m not even embarrassed,” Alexander replied. “Nothing can bring me down right now.”
“As it should be,” Fiona said. She took hold of a hand from each of them. “I am so happy, for both of you. You have found amazing women.”
“I agree,” Bell chimed in coming up behind Galen.
He moved his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close.
“Aren’t you supposed to be with Selene?” Alexander asked, looking over Fiona toward the entrance. “Is it starting?”
Bell giggled.
“You are so adorable,” she said. “Selene decided she wanted to just walk in with Axel and Wyatt. It’s a simple ceremony and she said she wanted me to be able to enjoy it with my husband.”
Bell smiled up at Galen, who returned her smile with glee.
“Yep,” Fiona said. “Just as goofy.”
Alexander laughed. Galen gave Fiona eyes of mock irritation.
By the entrance, Corrine cleared her throat. Fiona looked back and nodded.
“Come, my lovelies, it’s time to take a seat and let the groom await his bride,” she said, taking Bell’s arm and leading her away from Galen.
“Guess I’m going that way,” Galen said. “Good luck, don’t puke.”
“Why would I?” Alexander laughed as Galen hurried over to sit beside Bell.
Alexander looked around Lily’s Rest as he waited for Selene to arrive. It was a beautiful location, the water, the flowers. The way the moon reflected and lit up the space without the need for excess light.
But he couldn’t help but think of the golden lanterns, the fairy lights, the cherry blossoms that had decorated this space for Galen and Bell.
Today, there were no decorations beyond those offered by nature. No lanterns, no cherry blossoms, not even a runner to create an aisle for Selene to walk down.
He looked down at the clothing he wore. Usually, a man who dressed for the occasion he felt a bit underwhelming in his grey slacks and button up white shirt.
It couldn’t be helped; their wedding was a spur of the moment event during a hectic day. They were lucky that anyone could take the time to be there.
Glancing at his mother, brother, and sister-in-law, he felt grateful. Then, looking across the way at Saul and Peter chatting together, he smiled. How long had it been since he had made friends outside of Summer?
Looking back at Corrine who watched with anticipation at the entrance, he chuckled. A woman feared as a warrior and known as a fair Luna. She was as excited for this as he was.
For him, this was all that was needed. The people they cared about surrounding them and sharing the moment they pledged themselves to each other. The rest was just decoration.
Corrine let out a slight squeal, and he knew that Selene was coming. She quickly moved away from the arch.
He straightened up and adjusted his shirt free of wrinkles. Then, licking his lips and swallowing the sudden nerves that crept over him, he turned his eyes to the archway.
Alexander took a breath. Letting it out slowly.
Axel and Wyatt stepped through the arch, reaching their hands back for her. Her small hands grabbed hold and they all stepped forward together.
Alexander’s breath caught in his throat.
A few loose curls framed her face while the rest of her hair was pinned up in a braided crown, with gathered twists at the back and adorned with tiny white flowers.
She wore a white A-line tea-length dress with a plunging neckline and quarter sleeves. A modest pair of white flats finished the look.
It was a simple style, modest and classy. It was less extravagant than the gown she had worn to Axel’s ceremony and yet, Alexander had never seen a more beautiful bride or woman.
Selene reached her hands out to her father and her brother, taking that last step through the archway into Lily’s Rest.
She saw her mother smiling back at her as she held out the bouquet of lilies.
Selene took a deep breath as she felt his gaze on her. Alexander. The familiar feeling of his eyes, his longing, and his desire for her.
She licked her lips and slowly exhaled, calming her senses.
Corrine stepped forward and hugged Selene.
“I’m so happy for you,” she whispered. “He’s a good man.”
As Corrine pulled away, Selene smiled back, “I know.”
She bowed and took the flowers from her mother. Axel and Wyatt stepped up beside her. She linked her arms with each of them before they continued up the aisle.
Selene felt the heat of his gaze and the warmth of his love. But she couldn’t bring herself to look at him, afraid that she would be overwhelmed by her emotions if she did.
Instead, she looked at those close friends and family that were able to attend their impromptu ceremony.
Saul and Peter smiled brightly at her as she glanced their way. Two men she had in some way known for most of her life, yet only become friends within the past year..
She thought of Peter, the doctor willing to stand his ground to an angry Alpha in order to protect his patient.
Saul, the quiet sentry that broke his temperament only once, when he opened her eyes to the truth about Jackson.
She took a moment to be thankful for the unique friendships she had built with each of these men.
Across the aisle, Fiona winked and blew her a kiss as Corrine took a seat beside her.
Selene smiled to herself, thinking back to the Fiona that pinned her body down under her heel, with a bow staff to her throat, demanding that she yield.
Just past her, Galen placed his fist to his heart and tilted his head in a meaningful bow. Selene felt a tug of nostalgia as she remembered how he had insisted on calling her Luna when they first met in Summer. He had been sure that this day would come.
And finally, Bell was in tears. Messy, happy tears. Selene couldn’t help the small laugh that escaped her.
In her mind, Selene could see Renee sitting beside Bell, also crying those same happy tears. But, of course, Bell would claim that hers were entirely from laughing at how dramatic and sappy Renee was.
Selene closed her eyes and took a deep breath in. Slowly she pushed it back out and with it, she let go of the lingering pain she held to for Renee. This was a happy moment, one that Renee, of all people, would have insisted be filled with nothing but happy thoughts.
Her father and brother came to a stop. Wyatt pulled away first.
He leaned forward and kissed her head. He smiled at her and then took her hand and kissed it before stepping away to perform the ceremony.
Selene turned to her brother.
Axel looked away as though he were annoyed.
She smiled up at him as he adjusted one of the curls that hung at the side of her face. He had spent two whole hours braiding, twisting, pinning, and curling. He had attached every small flower in her hair himself, making sure they sat perfectly.
“Thank you,” she said softly. “For making me look beautiful today.”
Axel sighed and leaned in to hug her.
“You look beautiful every day,” he said softly.
She smiled as he pulled away. He gave her a slight grin and squeezed her hand before he moved to sit down next to Saul.
Selene closed her eyes and took a deep breath through her nose as she prepared to look up at the man that waited for her.
