(Cole P. O. V)
In the morning, when I went to my parent’s room to ask them something when I heard that Nikki got sick from my mother, I rushed to her room to check on her. She said that it was a hangover from the party and she will be fine after getting some rest, but I was still worried and called the doctor.
“Hello, Doctor, how is Nikki doing? She said it was a hangover, and she will be fine after getting some rest, but I was still worried about her,” I asked our family doctor.
“Yes, alpha, it was just a hangover, she just needs some rest, and she will be fine,” She said to me.
“So she will be fine by the evening, right?” I ask her.
“Yes, alpha,” she said, only then did I get relaxed.
After that, I walk back inside my room to complete as much work as I can before the wedding so that I can take Nikki away for a mini vacation. I have planned a mini world tour for her as her wedding gift.
I was so busy doing the work that I lost time until mom came to my room to call me for lunch, and we went to the hall where the resort management had arranged lunch for us.
“Where is Nikki? She didn’t come for lunch?” I asked Mom when I didn’t find Nikki in the hall.
“No, she is still sleeping in her room, so I didn’t disturb her. I will bring something to eat for her when she gets up to get ready for the wedding.” Mom said to me, and I nodded at her. We joined others for lunch. I walk out from there as soon as possible to check on Nikki before going back to our room.
After making sure that she is fine, I walk back to my room to take a short nap. I woke up to see it was 3:30 pm. I complete the remaining work and then walk to Ryan’s room to help him get ready and then walk inside the room.
After that, I walk back to his room, and both of us walk to the garden. Ryan walks towards the aisle with his best man Ronald while I sit beside my mother. Then Alisha and Nikki’s friend walk down with the vampire council members as a bridesmaid and groomsmen. After that, Alisha’s little sister Hazel walks towards Ryan while carrying rings in the pillow with her cousin’s sister and a few pack members following her as the flower girl.
Ryan takes Hazel in his arms, kisses Hazel on her cheek, and puts her down beside him, making her blush in the process. Soon, the bride’s song started to play and, Ruth and Alisha walked towards the aisle, and Ruth held on his hand and warned him. Then he kissed Alisha on her forehead and took a seat beside his wife.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, we are gathered here today for holy matrimony on this holy and beautiful spring evening to join two couples, Alisha Conner and Ryan Parker. When you love someone, you don’t love them all the time, in the same way, from moment to moment. Such is an impossibility and even a lie to pretend to do the same. And this is what many of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and the flow of light, of love, of relationships. We lip the flood of the tide and resist the terror of ebb. We are afraid that it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity, when the continuity is the only thing possible in life as love, as in growth, in fluidity in the freedom.” The official read the paper.
“Only if he knows, the people he was making married are not just any human beings but werewolves and vampires,” I said to my mom and snickered at the official. Mom hit me on my shoulder and paid attention to the official while I got lost in my thoughts until the official announced them, husband and wife. I stood up and clapped for them.
They walk down the aisle, and a waiter brings red velvet cake from them. They cut it together and feed each other and then feed it to others.
I heard an official saying something to Ronald, and he signaled me to come there.
“It’s your turn now, man,” Ronald said to me when I reached there and walked down towards Alisha’s dad, and I heard him telling him to walk Nikki to the aisle. As Nikki didn’t have parents, Alisha’s father offered to walk her to the aisle and hand her over to me. She was thrilled with the offer and gladly accepted it. Ruth nodded his head to him and walked away from there.
After some time, “The Perfect Two” by Auburn started to play, and Nikki and Ruth walked towards us. When I saw Nikki, I felt my heart miss a beat and then started to beat faster. She was looking so beautiful standing there in a white mermaid dress that I became speechless.
As she walks towards me with Ruth, for a moment, I find myself back in a forest, where I find her in a car which was crashed into a tree. I feel devasted, thinking that I might have lost her even before I found her. My wolf took control over my body before I knew it and then held her in my arms.
My thought was interrupted when I heard someone snap their finger in front of me.
“Earth to Cole, are you there?” Nikki asks while smiling at me, and I smile at her.
“I may not be her, but she is like my own daughter, so hurt her, and I promise you. You will regret it,” Ruth said while glaring at me and then giving me her hand to me.
“Would you like to take your vow by yourselves, or would you like me to say it?” the official asks me.
“We can do it ourselves,” we said together.
“Nikki, you are the best thing that happens to me. I can’t thank the moon goddess enough for giving me you. I love you to the moon and back. I Cole Gray, take you Nikki Walker as my wife and the luna of my pack from this day forward better, for worse, for sickness, for health, for richer, and for poorer, to love you, cherish you, protect you till the death do us apart, “I said with a massive grin on my face.
“Cole, you are only one for me and for now and for eternity. I love you till the square of infinity and will always love you. My love for you will never fade away, but it will always get brighter and brighter with time. I promise to love you, cherish you, support you, respect you, encourage you, and comfort you in the good and the bad times. I promise to stand by your side and face every problem that the world throws at us with you and grow old with you. Everything of mine with myself is yours now, from this moment forth, and for eternity. Till the death do us part.” She said with glittering eyes and a big smile on her face. I wiped a lone tear that fell out of her eyes.
“Please exchange the rings,” the official said, and Stella walked towards us with the ring, and both of us exchanged the ring.
“In the presence of all the people here and the God, with authority provided to me by God, I officially announce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.” The official said, and I didn’t waste any time doing that. As I kiss her, sparks fly through our bodies, and the whole world fades away for us.
We both come back to our senses when we hear the clapped and cheering from our loved ones. We walk down the altar, cut the cake, feed each other, and then feed it to others.
“I have a surprise for you,” Nikki whispered to me.
“What is it?” I ask her. She takes out an envelope and gives it to me. I open it and start reading it.
“OH MY GOD, NIKKI, you make me the happiest man in the world,” I said while swirling her in my arms.
“What happened?” Mom asks while looking at us.
“Mom, I am going to be a father. Nikki is pregnant,” I said while grinning like an idiot.
“What? Really?” Mom asks while looking at her, and she nods at her while blushing and looking away from her.
“My baby,” Mom said and engulfed her in a tight bear hug. Dad patted her head and congratulated us. And soon other people also come and congratulate us.
After that, we danced and enjoyed the reception until it was time for us to leave for our honeymoon. Nikki and Alisha tossed her bouquet, and both of their friends caught it. After that, we get inside our respective cars and drive to the airport.
