Chapter 56 - Blessed with Two Mates
Epilogue
(Kiera)
I look at myself in the mirror not able to wipe the smile from my face. The dress was specially made for me. It’s a champagne lace beading ball gown wedding dress with a sweetheart neck, sparkly flower sequins, and a royal train. My hair is done in an updo with beautiful curls. In my hair is a comb with a champagne colored 5M long cathedral wedding veil. The comb has diamonds. My make up is done naturally with glittery eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and nude twelve hour lipstick. A knock echoes in my room before the door opens and dad sticks his head in. He’s much better now. He has gained some weight and lives in the pack with mom.
“Hey, pumpkin. Are you ready?” dad asks.
“I am”. I smiled at him, then looked at myself in the mirror one last time.
“You look beautiful” dad says. He wasn’t here when I was crowned queen, but he is here now for my wedding and to give me away. I take dad’s offered arm and we both leave the room.
“I should tell you that there’s a lot of media out there” dad warned me. We knew that the whole werewolf kingdom was going to see it. Actually all the supernatural world. I nodded and took a deep breath. Emma grins up at me. She’s my flower girl. Once she starts with the flowers, the song starts indicating that it’s my turn. I took a deep breath and tightened my grip on my dad as we both began to walk down the aisle. As I got closer, I saw my mates both looking very handsome in their black tux and champagne colored tie. I watched as their eyes roamed my body. I see their mouths gap when they see me. I finally reached them.
“Who gave this woman to these men?” Elder Jacob asks.
“Me, her father and her mother” dad said before placing each one of my hands on my mates.
“Take good care of my daughter”, dad tells Xavier and Benny.
“With our lives” both Benny and Xavier said at the same time. Elder Jacob starts talking. All I could do was just look at my mates.
“King Xavier, would you like to go first with your vows?” Elder Jacob asks. Xavier turns around and looks at me.
“Today, surrounded by all our loved ones, I choose you to be my wife. I am proud to be your husband and to join my life with yours. I vow to support you, inspire you, and love you always. For as long as we both shall live, I will be by your side for better or worse, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer. You are my one, the woman I love. I love you Kiera”, Xavier smiled. He then turns to Benny, making him blush.
“Benny, I take you as my husband, with your faults and your strengths, as I offer myself to you with my faults and my strengths. I will help you when you need help and turn to you when I need help. I love you Benny”, Xavier smiles as he blushes.
“Now it’s your turn, Royal Gamma Benny,” Elder Jacob said. Benny turns with tears shinning in his eyes.
“I see these vows not as promises but as privileges: I get to laugh with you and cry with you; care for you and share with you. I get to run with you and walk with you; build with you and live with you. I vow to listen, for as long as it takes for you to feel heard. I vow to watch in awe as you kick ass and take names. I vow to be your unrelenting cheer squad on the days it feels too much. I vow that I will love you.” Benny winks at me and I blush. Benny then turns to Xavier.
“You know me better than anyone else in this world and somehow you still manage to love me. You are my best friend and one true love. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I’m the one who gets to marry you. I promise to be your navigator, consoler, sidekick, best friend and your husband. Finally, I promise you myself”, Benny says to Xavier.
“Queen Kiera”, Elder Jacob says. I smiled at him and turned to Xavier, then to Benny.
“My vows are for the both of you” I said and took a deep breath.
“I could thank you both for loving me, but instead I want to thank you for showing me that I deserved to be loved. And I could thank you for fixing me, but instead I want to thank you for showing me that I was never broken. Xavier, Benny, I promise to be your faithful spouse. I vow to love you both when the sun shines, when the rain falls, in sickness, and in health, through good times and bad. When you look at those rings, think of me and remember that I love you. Today, Xavier, Benny, I join my life with yours, not merely as your partner, but as your friend, your lover, and your confidant. Let me be your shoulder to lean on, the rock which you rest, the companion of your life. With both of you, I will walk my path from this day forward”, I smiled. I looked at my mates to see their eyes shining with tears. My mates smile at me before we exchange rings.
“I now pronounce you husbands and wife. You may kiss each other now” Elder Jacob said. Xavier kissed me while dipping me, then Benny kissed me before Benny and Xavier turned to each other and kissed. Everyone cheered for us. My mates guided me to a waiting limo and headed to our venue.
“We’re finally married”, Benny grinned.
“You look stunning today, my love” Xavier said.
“Yes, breathtakingly beautiful” Benny grinned. I smiled at them.
“And the both of you look very handsome” I said with a wink. We arrived at the venue and I was stunned at how beautifully everything was decorated. Benny’s parents, Xavier’s parents, grandparents, great grandparents, Monica, and my parents, along with the Omegas and pack members, have done an incredible job.
“We brought you a dress to change if you like”, Benny said, and gestured for me to follow him. I nodded and he guided me to a room. I quickly changed into a cool red off the shoulders. A line dress with gold swirls all around and on my head I put a gold head chain with a red stone that rest delicately between my eyebrows. I leave the room and find my mates. They look up at me and I see lust in their eyes. We ate, danced, and laughed. I sat back in my chair and watched as my mates danced with our pups, who were two months old. I smiled, knowing this was it. This was my family. A family I will protect til my last breath. Thank you for everything, Moon Goddess. Thank you for my Happily ever after.
