"Reynolds?" My eyes move over to him to see that he's already watching me. "You're not the best man right, Maxon is?" He nods at me curiously as he waits for me to continue. "Will you please walk me down the aisle please? Everyone else seems to be more familiar with the old me and I want someone who knows me to be able give me away to Ryder." That genuine smile he gives me is back. "I'd be happy to but I might have to check with Ryder first when Ellie gets here but he should be all right." Ryder wouldn't say no, I knew that because today he wanted me to have everything that I wanted. "Can't you just mindlink him?" He shakes his head, "He only wants me to contact to him if something happens. We're very traditional people so when he left yesterday he isn't supposed to have any contact with you until I give you a way to him. Even as you walk down the aisle he can't look at you." That was something I hadn't know was going to happen and I'm glad he had told me because that would have been a serious blow to see that he wasn't looking at me. Seconds later Ellie stumbles through the door apologising for being a late. "You're not that late El. I've got to go talk to Ryder quick I'll be back." He squeezed her shoulders quick before he left the room with a soft smile. Once Ellie had gotten composed from her puffed and frazzled state she had giggled and grabbed me to help pull me into the bathroom. Smiling at her I allow her to lead me away. I think she's more excited than I am. It wasn't long before all the other girls had showed up with Reynolds following back in behind them. In that time Ellie had finished my hair and was starting on my makeup which she agreed to keep natural but with a bit of glow. Reynolds seemed slightly frightened being by himself with all the girls and he had taken Elijah from Eleanor the moment that they started talking about their suspicions of what happened last night at the bachelor party. Reynolds looked at me when they started talking about how all the guys had a couple of bruises and cuts and instantly I felt my heart race at what could have possibly happened between them but they had reassured me that none of them were even hungover. 'Nobody got seriously hurt.' Reynolds says to me though the mind link. When I shot a glare at him he laughs and so does Elijah even though I think he's more amused by Reynolds. Eleanor who was concentrating on doing Lena's hair when it happened, I noticed when her eyes flicked over to me. Being a mother herself she was the most excited about the prospect of me becoming one as well. I was nervous about it though. Tomorrow was my birthday though and in less than twenty four hours I would go into heat and if everything about a royal wolf mating was true, then by tomorrow I would be carrying the heir to the Jordenian throne. When we got closer to two thirty all the girls were in there dresses and they were helping me into mine. Reynolds had left the room to get dressed and he had taken Elijah with him to get him dressed as well. Ellie's hands were gentle as she did the few buttons up my back. A lot of my back was exposed and I liked it. I knew Ryder was going to like the dress especially with the way that the neckline dipped low and the soft lace hugged me down to my thighs and gently billowed out into a flowing skirt. "Are you ready for this?" Hayley asks as she adjusts the thin belt. Nodding my head I smile at my reflection, I was trying to fight tears. I felt beautiful and I looked happy that I was going to be marrying the person I love. All the girls seem to notice my line of thoughts and lean into wrap their arms around me. They cared for me. I didn't think I'd have girl-friends but I'm glad I have them here with me today. "Am I interrupting anything?" Reynolds says as he pops his head through the door to check that we're all descent. He was in a military dress uniform and so was Elijah who was asleep in his arms. They're uniforms were black with a stripe of purple the exact same as the girls dress down the outside seem of the pants and a white sash fringed with the same people that run across their chests, the only difference between the two outfits was that Reynolds had medals on his chest as well. He let Eleanor take Elijah into her arms as he came over to stand next to me. "You look gorgeous. Ryder is going to have trouble keeping composed up there." Chuckling lightly I wrap my hand around the crook of his arm. The ceremony was being held in the back garden that overlooked the lake. The area was completely grass when we get close enough I can see all the full chairs and the branches and orchids the exact way that Allie had told me. From where I was I could see Ryder. His dress military uniform was a lot like the others but instead of his sash being white and fringed with purple it was the opposite way around which signalled him as a Royal. He looked nervous standing there with the other guys at his side. Easily there were around four hundred guests already in their seats and waiting for me. I only knew a handful of them myself, the rest were mostly here for Ryder as Alphas' and Lunas' of other packs throughout the world and other Kings and Queens. I could also see the few cameras that Allie had tried to disguise into the background so they wouldn't distract Ryder and I from our day. If this was a Jordenian royal's idea of a simple small wedding I would hate to see what a big one would look like. When Lena steps up to the beginning of the walkway with Hayley moving in behind her it finally begins to settle in me what's happening. Eleanor gives me a quick smile before she steps up next with Elijah sat in her arms while she holds a purple, gold fringed pillow with the wedding rings in his lap. Ellie is next and I'm surprised when she pulls me into a gentle hug being careful not to disturb the beautiful masterpiece she had created. "I'm so glad that it's you that's going to be our queen." She whispers into my ear before she lets go of me but not before I can give her a squeeze in thanks around her waist.
