Chapter 34

Alex's POV

I walk over to the mirror as I breathe in and out. I have never dreamed that my wedding would be so soon. I’m nineteen about to go to twenty and I’m already pregnant with a child and about to get married. 

I pass my fingers through the soft material of the dress and I feel a tear in my cheek fall. 'shit'

"what's wrong?" I hear a soft sweet voice from behind me and I turn to give her a soft smile.

"Amanda i-" she interrupts me as she holds my hands.

"Not once did you ever call me mother..." she looks at my face as she moves my hair away from my eyes.

"yes I did" 

"but you never meant it." she looks at me with sadness in her eyes and I pull my hands away.

I walk over to a chair beside me and I sit as I say "I have always meant it."

she looks at me curiously "it's just that you've never bothered to look at it in an important way."

"I don’t know what you mean" she moves closer to me.

"I know that you hate me because I am proof of your mate having a relationship with another woman." she immediately stops and I smile staring at the ceiling. "everyone knows, they just don't say anything about it."

"Alex-" she looks at her hands as she rubs them together "I’m sorry, its the way that I am that really sucks." she smiles "although I’m a werewolf I still have the same feelings that humans have and they can be pretty cruel on both myself and other people."

I smile as I slowly stand up "its fine... I know how that feels." 

"you still love your mother right?" she says looking at me with sadness in her eyes and I freeze.

"unfortunately for her, I don't." I say with a smile.

"you were what? around five when you first met her?" I look at her surprised as I back away. 

"how do you know that?" I put my hands on my stomach as I say "not even my father knows."

she smiles as she moves towards a window. "oh but how could he not know? you where so curious and you wanted to have the knowledge of the world in your hands. everything you heard you would analyze and you would suck it in like if you were a sponge." she looks at the view of the window and she says softly. "also that day you suddenly disappeared and when you came back your eyes were swollen red from all the crying." she puts her hand up to her chest and grabs her necklace tightly. " I'm sorry you had to see your mother like that."

"it's fine. it's better to know how a person is before you get close to them." I walk to stand besides her. "I’m sorry that every day I remind you of all the regret that my father holds within him for not waiting for you." I look at her "I truly am."

we stare out the window as I breathe in and out and I smile. "looks like I’m getting married huh?"

she laughs as she leans in the side of the window with her arms crossed. "I never thought you out of all people would get married so soon."

"and why is that?"

she begins to laugh " I don't know, I mean you were so wild as a child... the moment you realized that your commands worked on alphas you began to command every alpha that would come over to buy you ice cream or to give you foot massages." she looks over at me "you were a revel."

I chuckle. "nah, I just really wanted ice cream."

Blaises POV

Its been a while since Alex and I have met and I have come to realize how much I have changed over the course of a couple of months. to humans us getting married so soon must be very weird since they take years to form bonds but in our world it is quite rare for werewolves to wait so long. it turns out that even 

Patrick immediately mated with Mikal after they had some small talk about their pasts. the only difference is that they actually took precautions and Mikal isn't exactly pregnant. 

I walk towards the center of the room where our priest stands as we wait for Alex. the guests have taken a seat in chairs in front of us. I stand there in a black suit and a dark blue tie as I try to breathe in and out.

a moment passes and I hear the sound of the piano begin its soft melody as I turn to look at the isle in the center of the castles garden. we are surrounded by flowers of all kinds of sweet addicting scents yet all I manage to smell are strawberries in the air.

I try to hold my tears as I see Alex walking down the isle with Alpha Richard as he smiles widely. her face is covered by her veil and I can't see anything but little pieces of her eyes and skin. 

"Blaise take good care of her." Richard says as he gives her hand to me.

Alex lifts up her veil and smiles as she says "Blaise you're shaking"

I smile as I pull her towards the front where the priest stands with a smile.

"Blaise" she says as she looks back. "she's here"

I put my hand on her waist as she turns to look at me and I smile. "don't look back. today it's our day. your mother can't ruin it."
