Chapter 271 - Special chapter

Anastasia

“Now, you may kiss the bride,” the priest spoke, stepping aside from our side.

Nikolai, Sebastian, and Leon stood in front of me with a smile.

“So, who goes first?” Nikolai remarks, putting his hands in his pocket.

“Of course, it would be me,” Sebastian replied, stepping forward with a cocky smile.

“Isn’t Nikolai the oldest? He should go first,” Leon added, pushing him forward.

Sebastian glanced in Nikolai’s direction, then heaved a sigh. “Fine, go ahead.”

Nikolai took his place and took my hand in his, looking into my eyes.

“I have something to say to you,” he stated confidently.

“Go ahead.”

He smiled and began to speak. “When I first met you, I was convinced you were a spoiled princess who only knows how to order people around. But, it turned out you were the first woman who didn’t dislike how rude I was from outside, and kept pursuing me no matter how I treated you. You were the first woman who made me jealous of my brothers and completely obsessed with you. Thank you for becoming a part of my life. I can’t imagine a day without you now.”

“Because you were there for me, I could do the same for you as well,” I replied. “Whenever I faced any difficult situations, you tried your best to be there for me, help me out, protect me. Thank you for being a part of my life And keeping Silver as your horse. He has found a better master than me.”

“That was your horse?” Sebastian comments from behind.

I nodded. “Yeah, but somehow, he ended up staying here. This must be a part of the moon goddess’s plan.”

“I somehow knew this from the start. That’s why he never pushed you off despite being a stranger,” Nikolai said, reaching out his hand to caress my face. “Guess we were meant to be together from the very beginning.”

“I guess,” I chuckled.

“I love you. I hope I can become an amazing husband suited for you.”

I smiled, pressing against his hand. “I know you will. I love you too.”

“Anastasia,” he whispered low, placing a gentle kiss on my lips. I rested my hand on his shoulder, kissing him back.

The sound of cheers and applause followed next.

He broke the kiss, stepping aside.

Sebastian took his place, standing with a playful smile.

“Finally, after this, I can call you; my wife. I can’t believe it’s really happening,” he added, scratching the back of his head.

“Are you feeling afraid?” I teased.

“Afraid?” he repeated in a mocking tone. “This word doesn’t exist in my dictionary anymore. Not after I met you.”

“After you met me?”

“Yes,” he answered looking into my eyes with an honest expression. “I was always afraid to commit to relationships. Finding my mate, was never part of the plan. I thought, that if I had enough money and popularity, I could get any woman easily. But, I was wrong.”

His eyes narrowed. “You were the only one who wouldn’t sway towards me, no matter how much good I looked or how much successful I was. I felt pathetic, that you preferred someone like Nikolai over me. That was when I knew, that I wanted you to look in my direction, prefer me just like you preferred him. And so, I began to chase after you, try to win your heart. Before, I realized, I didn’t care about money and women anymore. You were the only one in my sight, the only one I wanted to keep forever.”

It's hard to believe, how someone crooked as Sebastian has changed too much over a few months. Even though he used to be a jerk before.

“I still don’t know how much I have improved into becoming a better person than before,” he added, stepping forward. Then wrapped his arm around my back, pulling me close to him. “but, I’ll try to be the best husband for you. I love you Anastasia, and I want everyone to know that.”

“I’m not perfect either. I’ll try to become a good wife as well,” I replied, “Let’s improve together living our life to the fullest. I love you, Sebastian. The best playboy ever.”

He smiled, pressing his lips against mine quite passionately. I kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his neck.

When he broke the kiss, he came close to my ears and whispered, “I can’t wait for tonight to see you in your full glory. I’ll make sure there won’t be any piece of clothing on you.”

And suddenly I could feel my face becoming hot with his statement.

He backed away with a smirk.

You can’t underestimate Sebastian. He’s being flirty as usual.

“My two brothers stole the show. I don’t what to say to you,” Leon added, scratching his cheek.

“It doesn’t have to be something extravagant. Something simple and honest would be enough,” I replied. “As you are the most honest person I know of.”

“Honest?” he repeated, staring into my face.

After a moment of pause, he lowered his gaze. “I’ve always been rude with a short temper and attitude, I don’t fear using violence to solve everything as well. Unlike Sebastian who was the golden child, I was the rebellious one. And because of how I am, I’ve managed to expose you to danger many times. I always told you to stay away from me, calling me dangerous. Despite all that, you never hated me and never pushed me away. You always chased after me and approached me, and I never hated any part of it. Cause I wanted you to break my shell which I had built over the years. The part of me who wanted to interact with people normally but couldn’t do that because of my blinding hatred and jealousy and ego.”

“Did you manage to break out of your shell now?” I asked, reaching out my hand towards him. “If not, I’ll be more than happy to help you out.”

He raised his head and gave me a tight hug. “You’ve already done it for me, helping me change. And I’ll be forever grateful to you for that.”

“You don’t need to,” I replied, hugging him back. “We are all healing each other's wounds, aren’t we? And I hope we can keep doing that in the future also.”

“I love you, Leon. Thank you for changing for me. Always remember, you are loved, and never feel inferior to anyone. I’ll continue to be there for you, as your wife.”

He pulled away with a beaming smile. “And you are my responsibility now. So, I’ll work hard to become a dutiful husband. Can I have you, the most beautiful woman on earth as my mate?”

I nodded, “Yes.”

He lifted my face by the chin and placed a kiss so gently. I kept my hands against his chest, kissing him back.

“Let’s give our blessings to the new couples with a round of applause!” yelled the Alpha and Luna from behind. “Congratulations!”

"Are you glad to have three husbands who'll shower you with their love?" Sebastian teased, standing next to me.

"More than glad!" I replied back, smiling at the three of them, while they watched me with adoration.
