Chapter 92: The Royal Celebration
POV- Bonnie
I watched my son standing at the altar. As his mother, I can communicate with him and know his feelings. I grinned as I saw his eyes open when he watched his beautiful bride. I believe his heart stopped beating for a moment. I watched as he seemed overwhelmed, in awe, and adored his beloved Portia, who walked down the aisle. She was breathtakingly beautiful in her white gown, her eyes sparkling with happiness. I can only imagine his heart swelling with love as he saw her father on her right and her mother on her left, guiding her towards him. This truly resonated with parents giving their daughter away.
My thoughts and reflections as I went back through time to the day when I was forced to decide to keep my babies. I am in awe as I look upon my kingly son's countenance and reflect on my wedding day. He looked exactly like his father did on his wedding day. He became more buff and manly as he prepared for his wedding. I am so proud of my son that I felt my heart swelling with joy.
We all followed behind Portia. The bridesmaids followed behind her, holding the long seven-foot train of her dress with grace and elegance. Their soft smiles mirrored the joy that filled the air. My son and daughter-in-law had been waiting for this moment—their union as husband and wife.
My Alpha husband and his parents stood beside our son with his Father, King Ferb. We all had silly smiles as the officiating Alpha, a wise and respected pack member, stepped forward and requested the brand-new knife. With a steady hand, he cut a small nick in King Leo's thumb and Portia's. The mingling of their blood symbolised their bond, binding them together in a sacred union. Tonight, my son will again bind himself to his Fated Mate as he marks her. My son was the disciplined one who waited to mark his Fated Mate on his wedding night.
Our female Beta Isabella stood with the ceremonial cup. She is a seer assigned by her mother, the goddess Celine, to watch over all kingdoms and share light, joy and happiness. She was in charge of ceremonies in our Pack. My son asked her to be the officiating seer at his wedding. She handed him the cup and took the ceremonial cup. King Leo and Portia each drank a sip, sealing their commitment to one another. The officiating Alpha's voice resonated through the abbey as he announced, "I now pronounce you husband and wife."
The room erupted with cheers and applause, echoing the joy that radiated from every corner. My son, King Leo, couldn't contain his happiness as he looked at his beautiful queen. I could hear and see his heart flutter with excitement. The officiating Alpha's words lingered, "You may now kiss your Queen." We all screamed joyfully while the men hooted, and the Alphas raised their mouths to the sky as they howled.
The crowd roared as my son, King Leo, leaned in and pressed his lips to Portia's in a tender and passionate kiss. It was a moment of sheer bliss, a celebration of their love. The cheers grew louder, and the newlyweds basked in the overwhelming joy surrounding them. They stood facing the crowd and waved at everyone. My son bowed to his parents, grandparents and in-laws. Then he took his queen's hands and walked to the door as we threw rose petals before them as they exited the building.
King Leo and Queen Portia stepped onto the grand carriage, leaving the ceremonial abbey, ready to embark on a procession through the city streets. Well-wishers lined the pathways, waving flags, showering them with roses, and clapping enthusiastically.
Three footmen and six white horses drove them. They went to the viewing window of the castle, and King Leo and Queen Portia shared another tender kiss, their love on full display for the adoring crowds. The excitement and happiness of the day lingered in the air as they made their way to attend the grand banquet. Everyone wanted a plaque commemorating the wedding. My son said they could be sold, and the funds they received should be sent to countries recovering from war, famine, drought, or disaster.
Roseann had spent hours decorating the hall; as we walked in, I was amazed at what I saw; unknown to us, my sister-in-law Rachel's mom and she, as well as the fairy King, did a superb job of making everything magical. It was a burst of colours, and the banquet hall came alive with music, laughter, and the clinking of glasses. King Leo and Queen Portia changed into their evening attire—Portia was stunning in a red and blue dress, and Leo looked dashing in a tailored suit. Their smiles mirrored the joyous atmosphere as they entered the banquet hall, greeted by a wave of applause and admiration.
They opened the dance floor; before I knew it, it was my time to dance with my son. He held me tenderly and whispered Mommy, how was I today? I looked into his eyes and saw such happiness. I saw you did well, son; you were excellent as usual. He was my baby, grown up as an Alpha and an Alpha King. I have much to be thankful for.
As the night unfolded, my son and his queen danced, laughed, and revelled in the company of their loved ones. The room was adorned with twinkling lights and floral arrangements, creating an enchanting ambience. The air was filled with melodies and whispered wishes for a lifetime of happiness for the newlyweds.
I know my son King Leo and Queen Portia couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the love and support that surrounded them. Their journey had led them to this moment of pure bliss and contentment. They were grateful for the memories they had created and excited for the adventures ahead.
The celebration continued late into the night, a testament to the enduring love shared by King Leo and Queen Portia. It was a night they would cherish forever, and as they looked around the room, filled with laughter and joy, they knew that their love story would continue to unfold, each chapter more beautiful than the last.
Alyssa met Queen Estrella, and they summoned all the witches and Fairies. They will work their spells and bring joy, happiness and calmness with peace all over Earth, whether in the spirit realm or the human world. They created a dome of light that spirited my son through a portal as we clapped. My son was marking his Mate tonight, and we all hoped that would bring us a new Prince or Princess.
