“One month later…”
“Oh my goodness!” Rachel exclaimed as she walked into the room. “You look so beautiful!” She screamed and placed a kiss on Mia’s cheek. “Stop it, you will ruin her makeup.” Sarah grumbled and pulled Rachel away.
With a big smile, Mia stared at herself in the mirror, beaming at her reflection. “You are a beautiful bride,” her wolf, Lexine, praised, and Mia smiled before getting to her feet.
“I think it’s time to leave,” she announced to everyone in the room, and they all nodded.
She was escorted out of her room by her bridesmaids, Sarah, Rachel, and Beatrice.
They took the stairs to the living room, where servants and maids lined up and respectfully lowered their heads as she walked past them with a grateful smile.
She was escorted out of the mansion where a white limousine was parked, waiting for her, with Simeon and two other top security standing at the door.
They bowed their heads to her while she flashed them a grateful smile and got into the limousine along with her bridesmaids.
The drive to the church was noisy as everyone talked happily while Mia’s thoughts drifted to Alpha Ricardo.
She hadn’t seen him for three days now, and according to him, it was a ritual which she didn’t seem to like. “Someone is anxious to see the groom,” Sarah teased, bringing her out of her thoughts.
“Don’t worry, you will see him soon,” she winked while Mia beamed and took a deep breath.
She knew she was already married to this man, but that was a marriage she had few memories of. To her, this was an actual marriage. As a little girl, she had dreamt of getting married in a church, and now it was coming to pass.
The car stopped in front of the big church, and the bridesmaids all came out before she did.
As she walked to the church door, she met Alpha Joshua standing by the door, ready to walk her down the aisle.
“You are the most beautiful bride,” he praised and beamed before offering his hand.
“Shall we?” He asked, and she nodded.
The door to the church opened, and the bridesmaids marched in to the sound of orchestral instruments playing.
“Let’s go,” Alpha Joshua said, and they both stepped into the church, and everyone stood to their feet with smiles on their faces.
Mia moved her gaze around, staring at the crowd of people present. She knew Alpha Ricardo said it would be a big wedding, but she never expected this many people in the church.
As she looked at them, she noticed that they were people of different races-some vampires, humans, hybrids, and werewolves.
With a deep breath, she moved her gaze and looked at Alpha Ricardo, who couldn’t see her face properly because it was covered with a veil.
“You are beautiful,” he spoke through the mind link, and she responded with a smile.
They reached the altar, and Alpha Joshua handed her over to Alpha Ricardo, who flashed him a grateful smile.
He took Mia’s hand and led her to stand before him. “Beautiful dress,” he spoke through the mind link, and she smiled. “But you know what’s more beautiful? The body in that dress,” he teased, and Mia blushed.
“We are all gathered here to witness the holy matrimony of Alpha Ricardo and Maria,” the priest said while Alpha Ricardo and Mia held each other’s gaze.
The priest continued with the wedding ceremony, speaking about love, commitment, and the sacred bond of marriage. Alpha Ricardo and Mia listened attentively, their eyes locked on each other.
The vows were exchanged, promising to love and cherish each other for the rest of their lives. As the priest pronounced them husband and wife, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers.
Alpha Ricardo gently lifted Mia’s veil, revealing her radiant face. They exchanged a tender kiss, sealing their union, while their wolves howled happily. The elation in their hearts was palpable as they turned to face their loved ones, their pack, and their friends.
Alpha Ricardo and Mia walked back down the aisle, hand in hand, with smiles on their faces. The guests showered them with rose petals and well wishes as they made their way outside the church. The sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow on the couple.
They took pictures with friends and family, while media from different radio stations and television stations flashed their cameras at them. Some wanted an interview, but the security wouldn’t let them.
Mia and Alpha Ricardo entered the white limousine and sat beside each other, their lips coming together in a passionate and intense kiss.
“I can’t wait to ravish you tonight,” Alpha Ricardo grunted between kisses, pulling away momentarily to plant a gentle kiss on her forehead.
With a relieved smile, she nestled against his shoulder as he drew her close. Their hearts spoke volumes, even though they didn’t say a word.
After a few moments of blissful silence, Mia finally spoke. “Whose ring is this?” she asked, her gaze fixed on the diamond ring he used to exchange vows.
“It’s my mom’s. She gave it to me before she passed away and told me to give it to her future daughter-in-law,” he replied. Mia whispered, “She must have been a lovely woman,” and Alpha Ricardo hummed in agreement.
They remained wrapped in each other’s embrace until the limousine pulled up to the mansion, where the reception would take place in the garden.
“I’ll go in and change,” Mia said, and they both stepped out of the car.
Her bridesmaids escorted her back to her room, where she changed into a stunning red beaded gown that fit her like a glove. Her hair was elegantly styled, and her makeup was flawless.
“My goddess, I can’t wait for my wedding day,” Sarah teased, and they all burst into laughter.
“Let’s take a picture,” Rachel suggested, pulling out her camera. As they posed for pictures, Alpha Ricardo teleported into the room.
“I’m sorry for interrupting your fun, but the guests are eager to meet the bride,” he said, and the three ladies nodded.
“You look breathtaking,” he praised Mia, planting a tender kiss on her forehead. “Shall we?” he asked, and she nodded.
She took his arm, and with a teleportation, they arrived in the garden. The moment they appeared, warm smiles greeted them, and they returned the gesture.
The reception was filled with laughter, music, and the clinking of glasses. Mia and Alpha Ricardo moved from table to table, greeting their guests and expressing their gratitude for being a part of their special day.
As the evening progressed, they savored a delectable meal and shared their first dance as husband and wife. Mia felt as if she were floating on air, embraced in Alpha Ricardo’s arms. They swayed to the music, their eyes locked, completely oblivious to the world around them.
The night unfolded with heartfelt speeches, toasts, and well wishes from friends and family. Alpha Ricardo’s Beta, Jason, took the stage and delivered a heartfelt speech, expressing his joy for the couple and wishing them a lifetime of love and happiness.
Mia’s best friend, Sarah, also shared a few words, recounting their journey together and expressing her admiration for the love that Mia and Alpha Ricardo shared. She told the guests how she remembered Mia not going home after school, but rather she would go searching for Alpha Ricardo, so he could take her home. Her speech brought tears to Mia’s eyes, and she hugged Sarah tightly, grateful for her friendship.
As the night came to a close, Mia and Alpha Ricardo shared one last dance, surrounded by their loved ones. Wrapped in Alpha Ricardo’s arms, Mia couldn’t help but feel like the luckiest woman in the world.
Night came, and they bid farewell to their guests before retiring to their room, which was decorated with red roses and candlelights.
“Now I have you to myself.” Alpha Ricardo spoke with relief and sealed his lips with hers before pulling away. “Go take a shower, I’ll join you.” He told her and she nodded.
She walked into the bathroom, undressed, and stepped into the bubbly water in the bathtub.
As she lowered herself to sit, the door opened and Alpha Ricardo walked in, totally naked, but that was not the only thing that caught her attention. It was the tattoo on his left chest. “You tattooed my name on your chest?” She asked, and he nodded, lowering his gaze to her. “I’ll tattoo the names of our kids on the right side of my chest.” He spoke and placed a kiss on her forehead before getting into the tub.
Mia’s heart fluttered with joy. If this is a dream, then she would rather not wake up from it.
“Let me bathe you.” He told her and pulled her close to himself.
They both remained silent as he slowly bathed her, touching her body and hair, before carrying her in his arms out of the bathroom.
He made her lie on the bed, which was filled with roses. “You are so beautiful.” He praised and sealed his lips with hers.
He pulled away, and she seductively ran her fingers on his chest and turned him over, causing Alpha Ricardo to chuckle as she climbed on top of him.
Gradually, she placed a kiss on his chest, moved to his right nipple, and sucked it, causing a loud moan to escape Alpha Ricardo’s lips. He was dominant in bed, and everything in him was compelling him to take over, but he realized she wanted to be in control, so he let her do things her way.
Slowly, she sucked his left nipple and moved over to his right nipple, sucking it while she caressed the left nipple with her fingernails. She kept playing with his nipples until she moved away and began placing kisses on his stomach until she reached his dick
She gasped at the sight and size of his dick and slowly wrapped her hand around it while Alpha Ricardo released a soft moan. Slow and steady, she stroked his erect dick for a few seconds before placing kisses on his upper thighs and suddenly swallowed his dick, causing Alpha Ricardo to release a moan of relief.
Slowly, she sucked his dick while giving him a blowjob, and his whole body shook with pleasure. Gently, he tangled his fingers in her hair and moaned out softly as she increased her speed. “Fuck!” He moaned out and restrained himself from thrusting into her mouth. Mia kept sucking his dick until she was out of breath and took his full length out of her mouth.
With a grunt, he turned her over and made her lie on the bed with her legs spread. He positioned himself between her legs and gradually entered her with his Dick. A moan of pleasure escaped her lips as he slowly thrust into her while sucking on her breasts. He increased his pace, and when he realized he was about to ejaculate, he pulled out and positioned himself behind her, thrusting inside her again, this time from behind.
“Fuck!” Mia moaned out, gripping the pillow.
Their grunts and moans filled the room until he ejaculated inside her and slowly continued thrusting, placing kisses on her back before pulling out of her.
With a satisfied moan, he pulled her to himself and sealed their lips again before pulling away. “I have something to show you, wait here,” he said and left the bed.
He went to the drawer, took out the envelope, and went back to the bed. “What’s this?” she asked while taking the envelope from him.
“Read it and see,” he said, and she tore it and read through, a big smile appearing on her face.
“I have gotten an admission!” she spoke excitedly. “Yes, baby,” he spoke and took her both hands. “I’m sorry, if not for me, by now you should have gone far…”
“It’s not your fault,” she cut in. “I was the one who ran away, remember?” she spoke and kissed his lips. “All that is in the past. I have forgiven you, and I hope you can forgive yourself,” she smiled, and he nodded.
“I also have a surprise for you,” she said, and he furrowed his eyebrows, confused. “What is it?” he asked, and without giving a response, she took his right hand and placed it on her stomach. “I’m pregnant, we are expecting a baby,” she announced happily.
A cold shiver ran down his spine, and a different type of joy enveloped Alpha Ricardo’s entire body. “Really?” he yelled happily, and she nodded. “I’m a month gone,” she responded with tear-filled eyes.
“Oh, goddess,” he exclaimed with joy and began placing kisses on her stomach before pulling her in a tight hug. “I promise to love you and this baby,” he promised sincerely.
“I know,” she whispered back in tears.
Happily, they closed their eyes and felt their wolves howling loudly with joy and satisfaction. “Thank you, moon goddess,” Alpha Ricardo whispered happily to himself , sniffling Mia’s scents.
With her eyes closed, Mia remembered the dream she had of her mother, and now it was making sense.
Eight months later
Alpha Ricardo’s POV
“Calm down,” Uncle Stephen urged, but I shook my head and walked to and fro with panic.
“Uncle, you are a father of three kids, was yours this way?” I asked in fear. Mia had been in labor for an hour, and it was scaring the shit out of me.
“My wife was in labor for a day during the birth of my first child, so don’t you worry,” he assured me, but it wasn’t helping.
The door opened, and a maid rushed out. “Alpha, she wants you,” she said, and I quickly walked in.
As I entered the room, I saw Mia lying on the bed, her face contorted in pain. I rushed to her side, taking her hand in mine. She squeezed it tightly, her knuckles turning white. I could see the beads of sweat on her forehead, and my heart ached for her.
“Hey, my perfect one,” I said softly, trying to project calmness despite the fear gripping my own heart. “I’m here. You’re doing great.”
Mia managed a weak smile, her breathing ragged. “I can’t do this, Rick,” she gasped between contractions. “It hurts so much.”
I brushed her damp hair away from her face and leaned in closer. “Yes, you can, Mia. You’re strong, and you’re doing an amazing job. Just keep breathing and pushing. I’m right here with you.”
Mia nodded, her eyes filled with determination. The midwife and nurses continued their work, providing support and guidance. Aunt Cara stood by, her presence offering a sense of reassurance.
As the minutes passed, Mia’s labor progressed. The pain intensified, and she cried out with each contraction. I held her hand tightly, encouraging her and reminding her of the beautiful baby we were about to meet.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I heard the faint cries of our newborn baby. Tears welled up in my eyes, and a mix of relief and joy washed over me. Mia’s exhausted but radiant smile mirrored my own feelings.
“It’s an heir,” the nurse announced, placing the baby in Mia’s arms. We both looked down at our precious son, overwhelmed with love and gratitude.
I kissed Mia’s forehead and whispered, “You did it, my love. Our little miracle is here.”
Mia nodded, tears streaming down her face. “Thank you for being here, Rick. I couldn’t have done it without you.”
I hugged her gently, cherishing the moment. “I’ll always be here for you and our son, Mia. We’re a family now, and nothing will ever change that.” I said and looked at the baby in my arms who has my eyes but inherited the blond hair of his mother.
“He is so handsome, just like his father.” She whispered while I placed a kiss on her forehead, giving gratitude to the moon goddess.
