Hello, lovelies. I am not sure if you notice, or not, but these last few chapters are shorter. It has come to my attention that the previous chapters were too long. So, if you have survived this long, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will work on making them around this link.
The restaurant that we enter is absolutely gorgeous. I have never been to a place like this before. Well, more like never been invited on a date. The way the lights hang a little low, each table having their own chandelier with softly glowing bulbs, make it feel romantic. In all these years, I have never been here. My heart races with excitement. That is, until I see our waitress. My heart stops dead in it’s tracks as I see her walk over towards us, all smiles and innocence. As if, that could be a thing. She was never miss innocent. I glance away and watch Chris’s reaction out of the side of my face. Sera walks over to us, leans over and pecks him on the cheek. I feel the heat in my face boil over as jealousy takes a hold of me. Serenity growls softly in my mind. ‘She needs to get her eyes away from our mate. If she touches him again, I won’t be responsible for the scars that will leave behind.’ ‘Hush, Serenity, you know that you can’t do anything like that in public.’ ‘She dared
Chris’s POV My heart is racing. It thumps so hard as I stare at her, waiting for her answer. I know that she loves me, and I know that she already agreed to be my queen, but I’m asking for a marriage. Some people would say that it is the same thing. However, I am not asking her to be my Queen consort but an equal. I hope that she realizes that. Her eyes widen, and water, as she stares at me. At me, not the ring. Did I say something wrong? Should I have asked her differently? I am vaguely aware of hearing Alrich’s mate whisper something to him but I don’t hear her words. Suddenly, Rae drops down to the ground in front of me and my heart stops. Is she about to say no? “Rae?” I barely whisper. She shocks me by grabbing my face in her hands and planting a, very emotional, kiss on my lips. I can feel her lips quivering and taste the tears down her face. I press into the kiss and grab her around the waist with one hand while I bury my other in her hair. She tastes like sweet cinnamon ro
Rae’s POV To say that I am nervous, is an understatement. Today is the day! The day that I get married. You would think that I am excited. Instead, I’m absolutely terrified. Why? I don’t know. It may have something to do with the fact that Chris invited the whole Kingdom and his friend Preston’s. I can hear everyone out there. “You look beautiful, darling. Stop fretting.” Mama says. I glance down at the beautiful purple gown. I was shocked that they are allowing me to get married in my favorite color. It’s absolutely beautiful though. As long as I don’t trip down the aisle, I won’t want to change a thing. “Did Katy really have to go so heavy on the makeup though? I feel like it’s caked and it’s very heavy.” I whine. Mama laughs. “You’re beautiful, Rae. She didn’t even put that much on. Now quite complaining. It’s about to start.” I take a deep breath and fidget with my fingers. I miss my dad. I wish it was him that was walking me down the aisle. Instead it’s my brother. The plan
Chris’s POV I can’t keep the smile off of my face. From the moment that Rae walked out into the open, my smile has been plastered on my face. I am finally complete. My soul is complete. She is radiatingly beautiful and I’m not sure that she knows it. I grab her around her waist, yanking her towards me, and kiss her on top of the head. “Are you ready to go greet the Kingdom, love?” I whisper. She’s shaking and I a just assume that she’s cold until I notice where she’s staring. I glance in the direction and notice Rachael. How could I be so stupid to forget about her. I don’t like the look that she is giving Rae. “Come, love. People are waiting.” Finally pulling her eyes off of my ex, she offers me a shaky smile. “You’re right. Let’s go, babe.” Grabbing her hand, I help her walk down the hastily made steps. I don’t want her to injure herself the day we get married. I want to swoop her in my arms, and carry her, but I don’t think that will be too appreciated. She stumbles slightly I
Chris’s POV I take Rae’s hands and swear starts to form on my hands. I’m nervous and excited. I know that she is too because I can feel her clammy palms. We walk into her house and, all of a sudden, paper confetti is thrown at us. “Congratulations!” Selene yells out. I’m grateful to have her support, even though we are in a strange situation. “Thank you, Mother.” I tease. She blushes. “Oh, that just sounds..” she pauses, “that sounds lovely.” She manages to squeak out. “Well it’s true, Mama.” Rae says. “Yes, it is.” She says, ushering Rae over to the table. “Now, I know the party is over but I made some food for the two of you.” She glances back at me and winks. Okay, now I’m the one blushing. That isn’t something that you think your mother in law would be excited about. “Somehow, I doubt the two of you will have the time to make something healthy so I made enough for the next three days.” Rae’s adorable face blushes scarlet. To hide her embarrassment, she wraps her mother up i
Rae’s POV These last few days have left me exhausted. We barely left our bedroom in the castle. It seems that we just could not get enough of each other. However, Chris was woken up by the regent. He apparently has work to do. Me, on the otherhand, I have nothing to do. So, I’m going to take advantage of the bathroom. A nice soak sounds like the best idea to me. I’m watching Chris get dressed. His lean, muscular body, is such a tempting sight that I can’t seem to keep my eyes off of him. ‘I think he’s teasing us.’ I tell Serenity. She snorts her agreement. ‘Since he’s teasing us, maybe we should do the same.’ I suggest. ‘Most definitely, you should.’ She agrees. ‘You, humans make me laugh. If it were me, I’d just jump him.’ She laughs. She pauses for a few moments. ‘Sadly, he’s not wolf so I will never be able to run with him.’ She sighs. I laugh at the image that I have. ‘I don’t know. Maybe he can ride us?’ I tease. Well, it was a tease but I feel her excitement. ‘Really, Sereni
Rae’s POV “Toby! Wait! Please!” I holler out. Serenity is whining in my head. Her Alpha just took off on her. I’m left confused. I start to collapse as he ignores me. Chris grabs me before I can fall and I turn into his arms. “I don’t understand what’s happening, Chris.” He doesn’t respond. He just pulls me into his arms. I feel as if my heart has broken. I am seeing every thing that Toby and I have ever done together flash through my mind. ‘Serenity, I don’t understand. Please, help me. Why do I feel so broken?’ ‘He’s our mate, Raleigh. The other tie that you felt. It’s been him all along.’ She says. ‘Why would he leave me like that? Why would he just run? I know that he feels it? His wolf wouldn’t even speak to me.’ She cries. I feel Chris carrying me and I can’t seem to care. I just want to know what is going on. I glance up to see if I can get a read on him but his face is closed off. I guess that his mind is closed off as well because I can’t into his head. I sigh, closing my
Toby’s POVSitting across from Ryan, with my heart aching, all I can think about is Rae. Why can’t I get her off of my mind even while I am sitting here drunk. It takes a lot to get us drunk so I must’ve drank a lot more than I remember. Her face, as she saw me, flashes in front of my eyes. Her smile, the way her hair seemed to shine as she ran towards me, and the genuine happiness that I felt from her plagues my mind.“Are you going to tell me what happened?” Ryan asks, as I throw another shot back.I look around the empty club. I open my mouth to say something but all that comes out is, “Nope.”I grabs the glass from my hands. “What happened, Toby?” He presses.Sighing, no longer having a reason to feign having something to do, and I explain everything to him. My heart aches but it’s not for the reason that you would think. I’m not mad at her. I’m not jealous of Chris, well maybe a little, I’m just sad because I don’t understand. Why does she have two? Where does that leave me now t
