Chapter 381
“It doesn’t get better. The more you grow, the more you really question your balance. Plus, after you have the kid, you realize just how much your body has really changed. Nothing will be the same.” Emmy took a sip of a water that she had and I suddenly wished I had some too. The lights dimmed a little more and the music changed. Everyone stood up as Colt and Kris turned the corner. Jacob offered me his hand as I tried to stand securely. I’m not even sure when Alec and another Alpha came up to the alter but as Colt and Kris walked down, her eyes never left him. She was wearing a very fitted white dress with beading down. The long sleeves. hung over her shoulders and the bottle flared into a mermaid and a train. Her hair was in a low bun. Emmy must have done her hair and makeup because she was incapable of doing it herself.
“She looks so beautiful.” I whispered as they passed. “Indeed.” Jacob said as he stood close to me. It was almost a little too close for my liking but since I knew him, I didn’t feel uncomfortable. Colt handed Kris off to Alec and walked over to me. Jacob took a step back and Colt wrapped his arm around me, holding me against him. They nodded at each other in understanding for Colt now being responsible for me. Jacob visibly relaxed a little but kept his back straight. “Ladies and Gentlemen. Finally, we are able to come together and celebrate the union of Alpha Alec and Luna Kristen. It is my great pleasure to be able to stand in for Alpha Marc and preform this for them. Alpha Marc was not only a great allie but a great friend. Having the picuburing me mun yum up I assume Luna Kristen you are aware that he leaves his socks around and doesn’t always put the toilet seat down.” The crowd giggled in response. “The union between you both started months ago. Although, Luna Kristen was already sworn into the pack, we need to follow our traditions. You both have already shown each other what it means to stand
beside each other in thick and thin. More than once, both of you have been in danger. Still, you stand in front of me as a unit of one. We will start with the vows they have personally wrote and then we will move to the unity ceremony. Alpha Alec….” “Who is doing the ceremony?” I asked Colt in the mind link. “Alpha Thomas. He has been our allie as well for years.” “Kristen, from the moment I walked into your tattoo shop, I knew you were destined to be mine. Your beauty took my breath away that I even forgot what I went in there for. That hasn’t changed. Every time I see you, my breath is caught in my throat and all I see is you. I have seen you bleed, cry, laugh, and even yell a time or two. You have brought more excitement to my life than I never need to relive but I wouldn’t change anything about our story. It has made us a stronger couple. Not only for us but for our people. You have taught me how to rule with my heart and not just my head. I am a better man for having you in my life. Now that we have a baby on the way, I have no doubt that you will teach me how to be a father as well. I couldn’t imagine going on this ride with anyone else, you are not only my mate but my true soulmate. I love you more than can ever express.” I couldn’t help the single tear that fell down my face.noveldrama
