"All hail His Royal Highness King Ryder and Her Royal Highness Queen Charlotte of Jordena." The minister announces across the room in English. My eyes scan the room watching as everyone drops down. My eyes catch Ellie first since she was stood behind me through the ceremony and now she had dropped down low onto her knees as had everyone else in the room. Out of the corner of my eye I see Alexander and Allie rise from their small dip. I draw in a tight breath when the entire crowd repeats the words back towards us. Ryder's hand tightens around mine reassuring me that I wasn't alone in this. Rising back up they applaud us before we're lead back out of the room. The service had taken only about half an hour but it felt as if it had been four times the length of that. Now was the first time that I was truly alone with Ryder since yesterday and Ryder takes full advantage of that his arm wrapping around my waist and pulling me up to his chest. "Hi, wife." He says just before he leans forward his lips connecting to mine. Our lips stay locked for a short while before a knock on the door forced Ryder to pull back from me with a growl. Maxon steps in with Ellie only a step behind him. "You're supposed to be getting ready for your wedding reception." He says as Ellie raises her eyebrows at me falling into Maxon's touch. "You're already late." Ryder growls from deep in his throat as he gently lowers me to my feet. The room Ryder had pulled to me was a sitting room with French doors that lead out to the garden were the reception was being held. Already I could see the wedding guest milling around under the gazebo that had been set up. It was also the temporary changing room that had been set up, so my wedding dress was still hung up near the door along with the secondary crown that was smaller and weighed half of what the one I currently had on my head, the one I wore to the ball in London. "Maxon wait outside." Ryder orders dropping his hands from there spot around my waist. "Are you ready to do this Mrs Connolly?" Once Maxon had left the room Ellie had got me back into the soft white dress while Ryder sat on the back of the lounge averting his eyes when he needed to. Now I was standing with him just outside of the tent where the reception was being held with my hair falling in loose waves down my back with the other crown twisted amongst strands to hold it in place. Slowly my eyes move up from his chest to his hazel eyes that are looking down at me gently. His arms were wrapped around my waist holding me into him. When I nod he releases my waist to slide my hand into his. Walking into the tent area of the garden with everyone standing and applauding us it makes me nervous but I keep the smile on my face. Out of the hundreds under the tent I only knew a handful and they were all sat at the head table or at the one positioned directly in front of it. The speeches went quick and only Heidi's was directed towards me. She could barely get her words out of her mouth without letting a tear escape, eventually she just apologised saying that it was pregnancy hormones which lead to another round of applause. I couldn't help but notice the nervous twitch that I got when Ryder squeezed my waist hearing about the pregnancy. Ryder was mostly preoccupied with me for the rest of the night even when high ranked people tried to come up and congratulate him but he didn't acknowledge them. Instead he was more concentrated on having his hands or his mouth on my body somewhere. Even when the first dance came around his hands where sliding down my back and cupping my butt. Despite his hold on me he whispered sweet nothings in my ear making me feel comfortable in front of the large crowd. All in all I couldn't have ever asked for a better wedding or even a better husband or mate. Eventually Ryder had managed to detach himself from me and thank all his guests for coming. I was stood with everyone who I knew now that I had changed into a pair of jeans and a shirt so I could be more comfortable for the supposed long flight. Heidi didn't want to let me go once she had her arms around my shoulders. "You're not allowed to come back till you know you're going to be a mum ok. You'll be great at it don't worry and he'll make you fell amazing." She says through sobs. Behind her I can see Josh shaking his head but he has a soft smile along with Letty who remembered and got along with each other well. They only people who looked out of place were Acton and Brylee who were stood back talking to Maxon as he looked over our small group. Finally Heidi pulls back away from me and she re-joins the party with Letty and Will, once I'm given a reassuring hug from the both of them. "Hi, sweetheart," Brylee says softly as she wonders over to me. Her hand is soft as she runs it down my arm. "I know we don't know each other very well but I'm glad to see you happy. You look like you deserve it." "Thank you," I say as I step closer wrapping my arms around her shoulders as she quickly wraps her arms around me. Ryder's eyes look over at me now that he's also changed into casual clothes, he smiles at Acton as they shake hands. Brylee follows my eyes and notices my husband stood by hers. She chuckles rubbing my arm again. "He's a lucky guy and you need to go show him that." Maxon and Cole had stayed behind, now in charge along with Alexander. All my other guards where however now comfortably sat in front of us on the jet with their mates as well. Ryder and I would be alone wherever we went but we still needed people around to guard us. Once we've taken off I ask the question that I've wanted to know for weeks. "So where are we going?" He grips my hand tighter bumping my knee with his. "Lycan, it's a private island in the French Polynesia. Complete private only direct access from this jet and under constant surveillance from the guest house where the others will be." "Complete privacy?" I question with a smirk. My breathe catches at the smirk he gives back. "Except from me, I'm going to see all of you and feel all of you." His says slowly his hand sliding down the crevice of my chest. "You still have a couple of hours to go." "Not even two, baby. Don't start teasing me now."
