(Nikki P. O. V)
I turned in the bed and flung my arm over at Cole to find the bed beside me cold and empty. I sit up and rub my eyes to drive the sleep away from my eyes. I look at his pillow to see a note over there. I picked it up and started to read it.
Nikki,
My love,
I have to attend an emergency meeting, and Mom and Dad are also coming with me to accompany it. There will be a party in the evening after the meeting, and I want you to join me there. There is a dress in the wardrobe. I have selected a dress for a party for you. Be ready for the party by 7:30 pm. A driver is going to come to pick you up for the party.
Love Cole.
Damn, I am alone in the castle now, well not really because there are other people like Chef, cleaner and other maids. But I feel lonely without my family.
Well, I have a load of work to do, so I better complete it before the party. I get out of bed, grab my clothes, and walk inside the washroom to get ready for the day. After that, I order an Omega to bring my breakfast and lunch to my office since I don’t like to eat alone at the dining table and walk towards the office.
After lunch, I walk to my room to take a small nap; since Cole is not here, I grab one of his shirts and wear it. I fall asleep while hugging his pillow. I wake up to see I still have 3 hours left before getting ready for the party. I grab some snacks and worked for some time until it was time.
When I got out of the washroom after wearing the dress, I heard a knock on the door.
“Come in,” I said while sitting in front of the mirror.
“Luna, Alpha had told me to help you while getting ready for the party,” two Omegas said while walking inside the room, and I nodded my head at him.
“Luna, your driver is waiting for you,” one of the warriors said to me and escorted me to the car. It takes half an hour for us to reach our destination. Kelvin comes up to us, opens the door of the car, and hands me a note.
“You look beautiful, Nikki.” He says before smiling mischievously and leaving in a hurry. I read the message to look for an explanation.
To the love of my life:
I have a surprise for you before the party. Since you love to play games, here’s one for you. Follow the red carpet and meet me at the end. It’s called ‘Reasons I Love You.’
Have fun.
Reason no one: Your beautiful smile.
As I walked the carpet, one by one, people approached me with notes containing reasons why he loved me. One by one, all my loved ones came and handed me twenty-nine notes, and I smiled with tears in my eyes at the gesture as I approached the garden. I reached the end to find a band playing soft music to the side, and there stood my mate decked out in a black tuxedo holding a single red rose.
“Reason number thirty, because you stand by my side through thick and thin .” He looks at me with adoring eyes, and I can’t help the uncontrollable grin that forms at his words.
“You look beautiful.” He tells me as I stand in front of him with my arms around his neck.
“And you look ravishing in this suit,” I said, smiling at him.
“This is amazing,” I said while looking at the efforts he had put in for me.
“Of course, my love. I’d give you the moon if you ask it of me.” He hands me the rose and leads me to the table, pulling out my chair for me.
“Let’s leave the moon where it is, shall we,” I joked as I took the offered seat.
We sat at the table enjoying dinner together with light conversation and laughter.
Once we were finished with our dessert, he got up and asked for me to dance with him. We were swaying to the music’s sounds when the band started playing Jason Derulo’s – Marry Me. Suddenly he kneels in front of me while taking out a small box from his pocket. My eyes widen in realization.
“I had been looking for my mate since I turned 18, and at one point, I had almost given up hope to find you until I found your in-car which crashed, with trees. I can’t explain how devasted I felt when I thought I lost you, but when I realized that you are fine, I felt so much relief that I can’t explain it. With every passing second I spend with you, my feelings for you get deeper and deeper. And I want to make you mine forever and every in any aspect. So Nikki, will you do me the honor and marry me?” he asks me.
“Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes,” I said with a huge smile on my face.
He slips the ring onto my finger and jumps up, lifting me into the air as he lets out a loud cheer. I take his face into my hands and kiss him, putting my every feeling into the kiss.
I hear cheers sound out from behind us as we break apart the kiss, and he sets me down on my feet.
“I love you so much, Cole,” I whisper as our foreheads touch, unable to wipe the wide smile that graces my lips. The next thing I know, I’m being grabbed by Stella and Alisha, who hug me in congratulations, gushing about how cute we are. I see my mum and dad walking towards us from over their shoulders and running towards them, enveloping them both in bone-crushing hugs.
“Oh my babies, I am so happy for you guys,” Mum tells me with tears in her eyes. We catch up for a few moments before going back to join my mate.
“Mrs. Nikki. I like the sound of that.” He pecks my lips as he takes me by the waist. “I like the sound of that too,” I whisper to him.
“Guys, it’s time for a double celebration,” Emma said and ordered the waiter to bring champion for everyone. We rose a tose, and everyone fell into the wedding plan discussion.
