Chapter 196 - A MIRACLE SILVER WOLF
195. Tamia's POV
It was happening.
I was getting for the second time and to the same man and I was happy.
Even if I was given another chance to live, I would still choose Killian.
Even if I was told that I would live the same life, where I got tortured and hated for nothing and then end up with him, I would still gladly do it.
I looked at him and I could feel that he was as happy as I was.
He had also been anticipating this day.
"You know, it would be like showing our children how much we love each other so that they can follow our example since they weren't there for the first one," he had told me last night as we were scrutinizing our new outfits for the wedding.
"How I wish Atlas was here with us.
He would also be running around with the others and..." was kg reply but I didn't say a lot since I didn't want to cry.
I had learnt how to cope with my baby's death.
I always walked with him.
I dreamt with him telling me to be happy and live and that was what I was doing.
So, crying again for At would be disrespecting his memory.
Apollo and Ares refused to be called twins.
Apollo, like a little grown man, said that Atlas is always with them and so, they will always be there.
And as such, we always call them the triplets.
That way, At is always with us and that is how I feel able to cope with it.
I also prayed for another baby who would replace At and I am pregnant.
Then I realized that no one will ever take Atlas' place in our hearts.
Whoever will be born will take his or her own place in our hearts but never Atlas's.
Our baby will always be alive in our hearts though he will never grow old.
He will always be that one year and two months old.
Forever young and beautiful.
Everyone gathered for the wedding was a wolf except the oracle, Killian and I and the maid who was holding the children's hands.
After the vows, the baby's will be taken away by Aurora and Killian and I will do the mating.
Even if we want them to learn everything about being a wolf and future leaders, there are things they can't learn at their age.
Yes, they might be very bright for their ages but we will take it gradually and step by step.
Killian held my hand and helped me mount the small podium.
Not that I wouldn't have been able to do it, but because he wanted to do it.
He was the alpha who was getting married and treating his wife right was what he wanted to do.
That was what he had told me as he helped me take a bath today.
Since I am now with a child, I am back to being treated the way he treated me when I was carrying the triplets.
He always makes me want to get pregnant but a good thing is that he treats me well whether I'm with child or not.
Killian will always be that man who will never see my flaws.
Or, he loves me with all my strengths and weaknesses and doesn't even see them because all he sees is me.
I am blessed, aren’t I?
Anyway, after we mounted the podium, the oracle started the mass.
All. Around, wolves were quiet and all one could see were the lighting eyes that were all directed towards us and there were hundreds and hundreds of them.
"Since we are gathered here for the second wedding of our queen, we won't do it the way we normally do a first wedding.
They have already taken their vows and they have made a family.
You all know the triplets and these two are also letting me know that the queen is expectant once again," the oracle said and that was met with hundreds of happy howls.
I smiled because like I had said, I was blessed.
I was lucky to be a part of this pack and Midnight pack too.
Those who attended this wedding from the Midnight Pack came because it was us who were getting married.
We tried providing transportation means for them but they refused.
They told Aurora that she shouldn't worry because they will make sure that they attend their king's second wedding.
The respect and honor all humbled me.
After the howls quieted down, the oracle continued.
"We already know that these two will be with each other till death do them part but it is our prayer that that death will not some any time soon," another bout of howls from all gathered.
"As such, since they already did all that is required for a king and a queen, we want to promise them loyalty and faithfulness.
We, the members of this Silvermoon Pack, want to promise queen Tamia and her king that we will always be behind them and we help them make this pack better.
As such, we will all take the holy water mixed with their blood to bind ourselves to our royal family.
We will take care of this pack and the royal family and be loyal to each other.
Are we all in agreement?" The oracle bellowed and again, there was a round of howls as they all agreed.
"So, my queen and king, before you take your vows to us, we ask you to please drip a drop of your blood in this tank that holds holy water from the blessed stream," the oracle requested us and we did what he had asked.
We cut our plans and dripped several blood drops in the tank and he stirred it.
He then called the Wolves and they lined up and one by one, they licked the water and drank it.
That was to show that they were all now bound to us.
They would be loyal and faithful.
We came to this decision after a long discussion with the council of elders of this pack.
The people who had betrayed this pack and brought the witches in, starting with Mariana, Strina and all the others who had been used by the witches were from this pack.
Thus, it was decided that to prevent such an occurrence again, every member of the Silvermoon Pack will and should bind themselves to us by a blood oath.
Anyone thinking of betraying this pack again will be signing his or her own death.
For me, this was very good because it would mean keeping everyone in check.
It took almost an hour for every wolf to take a sip of that water and for the oracle to finish that session.
It was our turn.
For Killian and I, we had to promise to take care of the pack and never betray it.
I had no problem with doing this because it was my duty.
Even if my parents never knew that I was their child, I knew that it was my duty to do it.
I would do whatever it takes to continue with their legacy and leave a better pack than I found.
One of my sons or daughters will one day take over the leadership of this pack and I would want to leave a better pack for him or her.
For us, we didn't have to drink the blood of the members of the pack but that of the past alphas of the pack.
The oracle had talked with the Wolves' Council and he had been given drops of the past three alphas of the pack and that was how we took our blood oath.
Going against any member of the pack or betraying it would mean us getting punishment from our ancestors.
After that, we were blessed to be good leaders and then it was time for the mating ceremony when the clock struck midnight and the moon was overhead.
I changed to my wolf and Killian changed to his and there were howls of fear all over.
Not many knew that he was a lycan and they were thus afraid because every wolf knew that a lycan was stronger than all of them out together.
There, as everyone watched, Killian and I mated for the second time.
This time, we were mating to keep Silvermoon alive and prosperous.
We knotted too though I didn't know what that would mean seeing that I was already with child.
But we did it.
We knotted and it took almost an hour for Black to return to normal and release Sasha.
It was beautiful and I could feel the Goddess bless me.
I was sure that Silvermoon would never be the same again.
At the party, everyone was in their human form and there was merry all over.
I cried.
But that night, I was crying tears of happiness.
They loved me and I was blessed.
My parents.
Alana.
Killian
Aurora.
My babies.
Wolves of Midnight Pack.
Wolves of Silvermoon Pack.
Kaye.
Strina....
All of them had loved me and in their own small ways, they had made this joyous life I was enjoying possible.
Most importantly, the Goddess had favored me.
I was blessed.
