Chapter 86 - THE ROGUE ALPHA'S UNEXPECTED MATE

Everyone always has their own ideas of the perfect ending and how it should be, but for the Low Valley Kingdom they have their own idea of the perfect ending.

Throughout Chrystal and Zanian’s journey they found the one thing they have always been looking for and that is to have a family, to be accepted but most of all to find love, unconditional and unbreakable love.

Chrystal POV

“Zanian I told you I will not go into labour.” I said sighing for the hundredth time today.

“well the babies looks like they want to come out.” Zanian said looking at my stomach with a look of horror on his face.

I glared up at him and my anger was very close to the service, which by the way has been for the last few days because of Zanian and Julian.

“I’m six months pregnant Zanian which means I can still walk on my own.”

“that is the problem because it looks like you are about to explode any second.” Zanian said lowering me onto the bed.

Everything has been going great, but I can’t wait for the babies to come out so that I can have control over my own emotions and have my body back where I can actually see my feet and fit into my clothes.

“just get out Zanian and don’t come back.” I said turning my back to him hearing him sigh.

He bent down and kissed my forehead and walked towards the door.

I groaned out in pain as a cramp took its course only this one feels like my stomach is being ripped in half.

I did what Jeff said and pulled my knees up as far as I could and hold my breath, but it isn’t working and I think I just peed myself. “Chrystal what is wrong?” I heard Zanian and Julian ask from beside me.

“I need new clothes.” I said trying to ignore the cramp which is brining tears to my eyes.

I have never experienced a cramp this painful.

Zanian put his hand on my forehead which is drenched in sweat. Zanian turned me so that I can lie on my back and picked me up bridal style.

“you need the hospital not a clean pair of pants.” Zanian said causing Julian’s head to snap in his direction.

“she is in labour.” Zanian said causing Julian and me to look at him while he has a smirk on his face.

“I told you.” Zanian said walking out of the bedroom carrying me bridal style with Julian standing like a statue not moving.

Holding my babies in my arms are by far the most amazing feeling in the world although I’ve done it before but this feels like the first time all over again.

I stare down at my twin boys with tears in my eyes. Now I have everything I have ever wanted.

“they are beautiful.” Deliah said standing behind me looking over my shoulder.

“what are their names?” Sandy asked coming in with a smile on her face and a sparkle in her eyes.

“I don’t know yet.” I said looking at the door as Zanian and Julian came in with huge smiles on their faces.

“what should we name them?” I asked looking at Julian.

“how about Hayden and Aiden?” Julian said looking down at the boys smiling.

The boys looks a bit different than the girls their skins are a bit more paler but not too pale and they both have the most mesmerizing blue eyes I have ever seen. The only difference is one has white hair and the other has silver hair like mine. They will both have Julian’s facial features when they grow up, perfect nose, strong jaw, high cheekbones and a smile that can melt any girl’s heart.

I looked down at my boys and decided that Aiden would be the one with the white hair and Hayden the one with the silver hair because the names should fit their personality and I have an idea that Hayden would be the fierce one where Aiden would be a lover not a fighter but he will fight for what he loves.

Zanian and Julian both took a baby and I laid down feeling exhausted. “we will take them while you rest.” Julian said bending and kissed my lips. He pulled back and Zanian did the same kissed me and they both left the room.

Sandy and Deliah was staring at me with so much love that I started crying again causing both my girls to get onto the bed sandwiching me in the middle.

“we are so proud of you.” Deliah said kissing the top of my head.

I looked over at Sandy and smiled, “you better not have any ideas until you are at least 18.” I said raising my brow at her making her blush.

I fell asleep with Deliah and Sandy talking softly while both of them are holding me.

Julian POV

When I held my baby for the first time everything around me faded away and all I could see was him. I never in my life imagined that being a dad could ever make me feel this complete.

Zanian and I left the hospital giving Chrystal time to rest. Zanian and I stood by her side until both babies were out and Jeff announced the gender and said that they are perfectly healthy.

I am currently standing in the kitchen showing off my babies to everyone.

I didn’t let anyone hold them and I’m not sure if I want to put him down either.

Aiden looked at me with his big blue eyes and smiled. What I did notice and what shocked me was that for a new born baby he is not supposed to have fangs yet there are tiny white sharp teeth sticking out of his gums.

“is this normal?” I asked Zanian who is standing next to me looking at Aiden smiling.

“how are supposed to know what is normal? this is the first hybrid babies of their kind.” Zanian said sticking his finger in Aiden’s mouth feeling his fangs.

“wow they are sharp.” Zanian said pulling his hand back looking at his finger which is bleeding a little.

I looked down at Aiden and his eyes are no longer blue, but purple, blue, red, green, gold. In a simple explanation it looks like the Galaxy exploded in his eyes.

I stared in amazement until his eyes changed back to normal and his smile returned.

I asked Zanian to do the same with Hayden and his eyes look the same as Aiden’s.

‘maybe their eyes tells the story of what they are.’ I thought to myself as I smile at my babies and Zanian’s expression. He looks proud and frightened at the same time.

I spent the whole day with the boys and then the night as well watching them sleep and like me they don’t really need sleep it’s just convenient. They woke up a few times just smiling.

I love the fact that I can read minds because I can see everything they are thinking even though it’s not words but pretty soon they will be able to form complete sentences.

I handed each one a bottle of milk which they didn’t want so I handed them their small blood bottle and watched as their eyes changed. All I could do was stare in amazement and wish my eyes were this beautiful. both my boys has the royal vampire tattoo infused with the royal fox tattoo.

“aren’t you coming to bed?” Chrystal asked standing at the door at four in the morning.

She hasn’t seen the boy’s eyes yet so I thought I would show her now.

“I want you to see something amazing.” I said and held out my hand for her.

She took my hand walking over to me.

“look at them.” I said and watched as she turned her head gasping at the sight bending down to get a closer look. “it’s beautiful.” she said stroking their cheeks.

“now I know why you like watching them.” Chrystal said sitting on my lap.

“they truly are something special.” Chrystal said more to herself than me, but I answered anyway.

“they will be.”

When they were done drinking and fell off to sleep Chrystal made me leave their room dragging me to bed.

Third person POV

As the days went by Julian became more possessive and protective threatening anyone who even dares to look at the boys wrong or stare too much.

Chrystal’s home for the hybrid children were finally done and Zara has been collecting more and more babies everyday filling the home bringing more laughter, joy and love to a lot of families. The Kingdom has also grown and have over 6000 creatures of every kind.

The perfect ending will never be perfect without a wedding which is exactly what is coming next.

Deliah and Chrystal has been doing panning and dress hunting for the last month. The only difference with Crystal’s wedding is it will be a royal wedding which means the packs will be invited.

“I have no idea what dress to pick.” Chrystal said looking between a shite satin dress with a tail and a cream dress that will reach the floor.

Deliah looked at her and c****d her head to the side and her eyes landed on the most beautiful dress.

“how about that one?” Deliah asked pointing towards a white and purple dress with a black outline and a silver chest area.

As the girls walked up to the dress small patters could be seen all around.

“this is beautiful.” Chrystal said reaching out touching her hand to the dress smiling.

“this will look so beautiful on you C.” Sandy said joining them in the bridal shop.

“I will take this one.” Chrystal said taking it off walking off to pay for it.

The cashier lady looked at them with narrowed eyes and said, “this dress is very expensive, are you sure you want to buy it?”

“what is that supposed to mean?” Chrystal asked laying the dress on the counter.

“why not rent it and bring it back when you are done.?” The lady said and the worst thing is she is a wolf.

Chrystal smiled at her and said, “I will like to buy this dress please.” And she handed the lady a gold credit card.

The lady took the card and swiped it grabbing the dress and went off to have it boxed.

When she came back half an hour later Chrystal was annoyed. “are you this rude to all your customers?” Chrystal asked glaring at the woman.

“only the ones who thinks they are better than everyone else.” The lady said handing Chrystal the box.

Chrystal released her aura allowing her eyes to change and looked at the lady as her eyes widen.

She tried holding Chrystal’s gaze but her wolf must’ve taken over and bowed down for when she lifted her head her eyes were a yellowish green.

“I’m so sorry my queen.” The wolf said and exposed her neck.

Chrystal pulled back her aura saying, “it’s not your fault.” And then she left the store with Sandy and Deliah smiling proudly.

When Chrystal and them got home they saw the jumping castles and slip and slides were out and kids were screaming, laughing and having fun. As she made her way past everyone she went to change and join the fun.

“took you long enough.” Julian said walking into the room with both babies in his arms.

Chrystal walked over and kissed all three of them

Time is always the enemy, if you are having fun there isn’t enough time, if you are sad time feels endless and when you have everything you ever wanted time feels like it’s running away.

Chrystal POV

Everything is perfect, I couldn’t have asked for better. As I lay in bed watching Julian and Zanian sleeping I wish I could freeze time and on the other hand I don’t want to because who wants to live the exact same day over and over again.

I have invitations to send out and a wedding to plan. I thought as I flipped the covers off me causing Zanian and Julian to groan in disapproval.

“just one day.” Zanian complained pulling the covers closer.

“no, we have work to do.” I said causing Julian to snap his eyes open and pull me beneath him and pinned me down. “you are up early every day, just one day for rest please.” Julian asked in a pleading voice.

“I’m a mom, and Queen and now I’m going to be a wife in a few days.” I said tracing Julian’s jaw with my fingers.

He leaned down and kissed me knocking the wind out of me with his slow passionate kissing so early in the morning.

Our bedroom door burst open and two pairs of small feet ran towards the bed. ‘okay well not so small anymore.’

Hazel and Isabella got up onto the bed and started jumping causing Zanian to groan and tackle them both. Julian got off me allowing me to escape.

“mommy where are you going?” Isabella asked with a pout.

“to get your brothers.” I said and left the room. Hayden and Aiden has been a dream, no crying no screaming just the occasional fuss about now wanting milk.

I have no idea what to make of the boys because they are growing rapidly fast so Julian explained to me some of the things about being a vampire and one of them is the rapid growing. By the time they are five in human years they will be teenagers in Vampire years and I am so not looking forward to having them grow up so fast.

They are only a few days old and already they have teeth so by the time they are one they will be toddlers.

I opened the door to their room and found both of them awake smiling. Julian said their fangs will pull into their gums when they are a bit older and have more control so for now it’s permanently on display which I think is the cutest thing in the world.

I walked closer to the crib and handed each one a bottle of milk seeing that they haven’t actually had milk in two days.

As far as we know they have two stomachs and both stomachs needs to be fed regularly.

I gave Hayden his bottle but he spit it out and I just glared at him.

Aiden did the same, and I swear I didn’t mean to but I growled at them causing both of them to look at me with wide eyes.

I handed them the bottles again and this time they took it without a fuss. I watched as they drank every drop before spitting the bottles out and I handed them the small blood bottle. I stood watching in amazement as their eyes change and I can honestly stand here the whole day just looking at them.

Julian came in just as they let go of the bottles and their eyes change back to their normal mesmerising blue.

“I heard you growl.” Julian said standing next to me looking down at the boys.

“yes because they refuse to drink the milk and I didn’t mean to it just happened.” I said shrugging my shoulder causing Julian to let out a soft chuckle.

I left the boys with Julian and went to take a shower and get dressed in casual clothes. I walked down to the kitchen where Maggie handed me a plate filled with bacon and cheese toast just as I asked.

I took my breakfast up to Zanian’s office and started working on the invitations. All the packs are invited as well as every member in their pack that allows the unmated wolves to look for their mates.

I sent out the invitations and the date is set everyone would be arriving today or tomorrow we have vampires that volunteered to guard the packs for every wolf will be attending the wedding.

When that was done I sat and enjoys my breakfast even though it got cold, but it doesn’t matter.

I loved what Nelly did for the engagement party so I asked her to help with my wedding as well and I swear she almost jumped out of her skin from excitement.

Zanian POV

Being king I always knew would be hard work, but keeping everyone happy is even harder. I haven’t told Chrystal or Julian this, but we had some friction between two wolves and a vampire just over a week ago and that is where I am currently to see if we can resolve the problem without having to involve Chrystal.

“so you laid claim on a girl that wasn’t yours to claim and now that she found her mate you refuse to release her?” I asked Jody who is looking everywhere but at me.

“it’s not like that, she claimed me and I told her she has a mate and she has to go, but yet here she is refusing.” Jody said looking at the girl.

I diverted my attention to her and saw she is only looking at her lap not making eye contact with anyone.

“may I ask why you don’t want your mate?” I asked waiting for her answer.

When she looked at me she had tears in her eyes. I waited for her to speak but she didn’t instead she just looked down. I looked at the men and dismissed them.

When they left the door closed and I moved closer to the girl.

“what is wrong?” I asked and for the first time she made eye contact. “I’m scared.” She said as a tear rolled down her cheek.

“scared of what?” I asked.

“my mate is known for his short temper and I’m afraid of him.” the girl said looking at me with fear evident in her eyes.

“okay how about I speak to him?” I asked not wanting to do anything she won’t be comfortable with.

She nodded her head and I linked Gavin to come back. I spoke to them and we resolved the problem as for the vampire I have no idea what his deal was in all of this, but the two mates are happy now and I have a mate to attend to before she comes looking for me.

Julian’s babies are the most fascinating babies I have ever seen and that is apart from the babies Zara keeps brining. Chrystal has kept to her word and I honestly don’t know how she does it because she is juggling everything at once. Four kids, being Queen, looking after orphans, and then there is us which she hasn’t forgot about once or neglected.

When I walked into the house Nelly was on the phone yelling at someone and Maggie was standing by the stairs talking to Hazel who is hanging onto every word she is saying by the looks of it, but when she saw me she jumped into my arms.

“where have you been?” she asked having the same look Chrystal has when she is waiting for an answer.

“I took a walk baby. Why what’s wrong?” I asked and she just shook her head.

Hazel isn’t much of a talker Isabella on the other hand can talk non-stop and sometimes it drives me crazy to the core because all she talks about is fashion and being proper. She even corrects me when I’m not proper enough.

“good you are here, we have guest arriving today and some tomorrow.” Chrystal said walking down the stairs with the boys in her arms.

‘is it just me or do they look double the size than they were yesterday?’ I thought as I took a closer look at them.

“I’m sorry guests?” I said just realising what Chrystal said.

“yes, for the wedding on Saturday.”

“okay but it’s only Wednesday today.” I said c*****g my head to the side.

“yes and the packs far out is coming today so that they can rest as well as Tyler’s pack. they are coming today in total that is seven packs and then the rest will be here tomorrow and everyone will rest Friday and the wedding is Saturday.” I glared at Chrystal for the way she is speaking it’s like she is explain things to a ten year old and not a grown man.

“okay then where do you want them?” I asked which caused Chrystal to look at me.

“everything is already sorted. And where were you because you disappeared for almost four hours.” Chrystal said looking at me through narrowed eyes.

“I took a walk.” I said looking at Hazel who is looking at me with a ‘did you really’ look on her face.

Later in the evening after we showered and got dressed the first packs started arriving. I walked downstairs to welcome them with Hazel and Isabella following behind me. Hazel refused to leave me alone and Isabella just wants to greet everyone.

Maggie and Martha cooked up a storm yet again leaving no room for error or disappointment.

I stood by the door as the packs walked in greeting the Alpha’s respectfully as they did the same.

Ever since Chrystal made it clear that respect will be shown it’s like everyone is more afraid of her that me. which I understand because even I’m afraid of her.

“thank you for welcoming us into your home and congratulations.” Alpha Jace said as he handed me a wrapped gift. Chrystal said they don’t have to bring anything but I guess some just really can’t show up empty handed.

Chrystal came down and my breath hitched as I took in the golden gown glimmering under the lights with her hair done up neatly and her make-up done to perfection. I will never get used to how beautiful and graceful she looks when she is full on Queen.

When she reached me she kissed my cheek and smiled warmly. I handed her the gift Jace game me and told her who it is from.

Tyler was the last pack to arrive and when he did everyone stopped and stared. He got out of the car and walked over to Chrystal taking her hand and leading her to the car. He opened the trunk and said, “I missed the birth of the newest babies so this is to make up for that and to say congratulations.”

Chrystal looked up at me with a sparkle in her eyes and motioned for me to come over.

Okay maybe it wasn’t such a good idea because now I cannot stop staring and thinking how in the world did he fit this thing in the car.

I mean it’s bigger than the car.

Chrystal and Tyler started pulling and right in front of my eyes is a giant teddy bear. And I mean giant. It’s like three times my size and it’s every colour you can think of.

“I had it specially made for you.” Tyler said causing Chrystal’s smile to widen.

“thank you T.” Chrystal said hugging the teddy bear’s arm.

The dinner was quiet and no one said much everyone kept talking about the teddy bear and even some Luna’s asked for one causing the Alpha’s to groan.

Chrystal and Julian each sat with a baby on their lap and I have Hazel and Isabella on mine as we all enjoy our dinner.

Chrystal POV

I woke up with butterflies in my stomach knowing that this time tomorrow I will be getting ready for my wedding. Getting married to not one but two men who holds my heart completely as I hold theirs is every girl’s fantasy.

I jumped out of bed this morning not wanting to waste a second from being part of planning the perfect wedding. I know Nelly said she will take care of everything and I trust her, but I still want to see and be a part of everything.

Almost all the packs arrived yesterday which is making the palace a very crowded place to be in and I still cannot believe that we had space for everyone.

Most wolves has found their mates and some are still hoping. As I said, “almost all the packs has arrived except for one… The Greyville Stone pack.”

They will be arriving today and honestly I don’t mind. We kept some rooms open for them which will be on the second floor.

I don’t know what they expected from me but all they will get is being treated like any other pack because they chose not to be my family even when I needed them they weren’t there.

“Crystal you have to take a break and just concentrate on you. I have this covered and I can handle it if I get stuck I will call you.” Nelly said taking the flowers from my hands and shooing me out of the room.

Reluctantly I turn around and walk away very slowly hoping she would call me back, but she didn’t.

I walk up to our floor and into the kids bedroom which is occupied by Zanian and Julian.

“hey boy’s.” I said walking over to them.

“hey babe.” Zanian said and Julian just smiled.

“what have you been up to?” Julian asked raising a brow at me. I sat down on the carpet and was immediately attacked by Isabella and Hazel.

“I was chased away from decorating.” I said looking between the two guys who is laughing at me.

“it’s not funny.” I said pouting.

“have you heard anything from the Greyville pack?” Zanian asked and I shook my head.

“they said they will be here between two and four, but I honestly don’t know seeing that it is already past three.” I said shrugging my shoulders.

We spent a whole hour with the babies and the girls when we were called down saying the Greyvillle pack has arrived. Zanian, Julian and I walked down stairs to welcome them and my breath caught in my throat when I saw Tony walking up to us with a box in his hand. I don’t have to be a genius to know what a wedding dress box looks like.

‘why would he do this?’ I asked myself hearing a growl in my mind. I looked at Zanian who is staring daggers at Tony as well as Julian.

They must have felt my mood change through the mate bond.

“what is this?” I asked trying to keep my emotions at bay.

“mom would’ve wanted you to have this so I thought I would bring it.” Tony said to which Natasha huffed and looked away.

I am pretty sure she wanted the dress. “I don’t want it.” I said looking between the five of them. “well it’s here now.” Tony said handing me the box.

I took the box and saw Natasha’s eyes widen and then I handed the box to her.

“you seem like you want it so here, you can have it.” I said holding the box out to her which she took almost immediately. “she was my biological mother.” I heard Natasha mumble under her breath.

I looked at her and just smiled knowing that my dress would be everything she ever dreamed of having.

I welcomed them in and explained where their rooms will be. “shouldn’t the family of the bride be on the same floor as them?” Natasha asked with crossed arms and a disbelieving look on her face.

“yes they are, which is exactly why the only place left is on the second floor.” I said watching her smile drop and her eyes water.

“but…” I cut her off half way and said, “you are not my family and we have cleared all this up weeks ago besides my family is already here and you are all guests to which you will be treated as such.” I said looking at Natasha who has tears in her eyes and the rest disbelieving looks on their faces.

Tyler came down the stairs hugging me from behind laying his head on my shoulder.

“the babies are sleeping.” He said and kissed my cheek walking away. ‘probably to go and get some food.’

I started walking upstairs with everyone following me and I showed them their rooms and left to go have a shower and get ready for supper.

I dressed in a white sleeveless satin gown that reaches the floor even though I’m in heels.

I left my hair loose and put minimal make-up.

I stare at myself in the mirror and even though I am older I still look like the same nineteen year old girl. I wonder if I will ever change or age which I doubt because I am marked by a vampire who never ages.

“you look absolutely beautiful.” Julian said walking up behind me staring at me through the mirror.

“and you look very handsome.” I said turning around smashing my lips to his making him chuckle.

“I’m sorry.” Julian said causing me to look at him taking a minute to understand what he is apologising for or should I say who he is apologising for.

“it’s not your fault. They should just accept their place in my life and respect it if not I will keep making it clear to them until they understand.” I said taking Julian’s hand and walking alongside him.

We met up with Zanian in the hallway coming out of the kids bedroom closing the door softly.

“they’re finally sleeping.” Zanian whispered too afraid to talk loud.

Zanian stood on my right, Julian on my left and I’m in the middle as we walk down the stairs receiving smiles and admiring looks.

Dinner was served and everyone talked and laughed, it’s not like the last time this time everyone truly seems happy. Zanian asked some questions about how the packs are doing and if they encountered any trouble, but strangely no one has had any trouble.

Natasha and Roland keeps looking at me and from what I could hear, Roland at least has his wolf back, but his wolf is rejecting Natasha as his mate which is causing them to drift apart.

I feel sorry for them because they have gone through so much to be together and now his wolf is rejecting their bond in hopes of finding a second chance mate.

“hey your food is getting cold.” Zanian said from beside me pulling me out of my daydreaming. I looked at him with a soft smile on my face and diverted my attention back to my food. Maggie has gone all out again and my plate is filled with everything delicious especially het creamy potato-bake.

Dinner ended sooner than we thought. Some excused themselves and some stayed behind to talk a little more as for us, well I excused myself making my way up to our room. As I reached the second floor I hears screaming from Roland and Natasha’s room and decided to see if everything is okay.

“you cannot do this.” Natasha cried

“I can and I will because I can’t keep pretending to love you when I don’t. I lost my first mate Natasha and I will not lose a second one to stay with you.” Roland said causing me to freeze in my tracks.

“we have been together since we were 16 and that is seven years down the line Roland.” Natasha said and I can imagine the look on her face.

“our bond is broken due to my wolves rejection which means you are no longer my mate nor are you my Luna.” Roland said and I suddenly have the urge to knock on the door but I didn’t instead I walked away until I heard something break and turned back knocking on the door.

Roland opened the door looking tired, but when he saw me he straightened up and greeted formally.

“good even Queen Chrystal. Is everything alright?” Roland asked and I almost laughed at his pretence.

“what is going on here?” I asked causing Roland to sigh and open the door showing me the room and Natasha laying a pool of glass.

I walked in and asked, “what is going on here?” Natasha jumped to her feet looking down.

Roland closed the door and said, “I’m sure you know already otherwise you wouldn’t be here.”

“I heard the screaming yes, that doesn’t explain the glass.” I said looking between the two of them.

“he rejected me.” Natasha sobbed like the drama queen she is.

“well you weren’t his to begin with and as for what I know you have been having problems for a while now.” I said looking between the two of them.

“I found my second mate and she is here somewhere I smelled her when I walked up the stairs and tomorrow I’m going to look for her because I have already lost one mate I will not lose another.” Roland said looking at Chrystal who is full on sobbing.

“I hate you.” Natasha said to no one in particular but I have a feeling it’s directed at me as well.

“well then hate me.” Roland said looking between me and Natasha.

“do you have any other open room maybe?” Roland asked scratching the back of his neck.

“yes three doors down.” I said dancing like crazy internally.

‘it hurts being rejected by someone you love.’ I thought to myself as I looked at Natasha.

“please don’t break anything else or you will be held responsible for the damage done.” I said and walked out of the room.

‘maybe now with Natasha out of the way and a real mate Roland would be a better Alpha and an even better friend.’ I knocked on Roland’s door and he answered immediately.

“I’m truly happy for you, you deserve better and maybe now when you have your true mate your Alpha duties and abilities will pick up.” I said smiling at him realising the smile isn’t forced or fake.

“thank you C and I just want to say, I’m really sorry about what we’ve done and you have every right to hate me, because even I hate me and there isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t think about what we did.” I looked at Roland and for the first time I can honestly say, “I’m not angry or hateful towards you, I was different and that scared you and I know that now. So don’t blame yourself. And if it wasn’t for what you did I would have probably never found who I really am.” I said seeing a ghost of a smile on his face.

“when you find your mate tomorrow be honest with her and give her a choice, when she chooses you and I ever find out that you hurt her in any way I will hurt you really, really bad.” I said watching him gulp in fear.

“goodnight Alpha Roland.” I said and walked away.

I walked into the room just as Zanian and Julian climbed into bed.

“where were you?” Zanian asked

“I stopped by Roland and Natasha’s room which is now just Natasha’s room and Roland is three doors down.

Julian lifted a brow and I let out the laugh I was holding in for so long. Zanian and Julian looked at me like I have gone crazy, but neither said anything.

Third persons POV

“what are you thinking about?” Julian asked Zanian who is staring in the mirror lost in thought with a soft smile on his face.

“have you ever in your life thought that you would be here today, being a father getting married to the most beautiful and powerful woman?” Zanian asked staring at Julian through the mirror.

“well if you asked me this particular question four years ago I would’ve laughed in your face, because I could never see myself settling down let alone have kids.” Julian said with a faraway look in his eyes.

“would you change anything if you had the chance?” Zanian asked turning to look at Julian.

It took Julian a few seconds and after his silence he smiled and shook his head, “I would never change a thing, because if I change something then I might never have the chance to meet you or Chrystal, so my answer is no. I would never change a thing.” Julian said.

As Zanian and Julian get ready for breakfast small talk is the only thing keeping the nerves bearable.

Zanian leaves the room hoping he’ll run into Chrystal because she has been MIA since they woke up this morning and haven’t seen her once.

As Zanian walks down the hallway he spots Deliah instead so he stops her and asks, “have you seen Chrystal?”

“yes I have and you cannot see her until the wedding.” Deliah said and walked into the kids room.

“and why can I not see her?” Zanian asked following behind her.

“because it’s bad luck even if it is a human saying I believe it.” Deliah said walking out with a diaper bag for the boys.

“only you D.” Zanian said walking down the stairs to have a nice breakfast which was interrupted as soon as he walked into the dining hall.

More tables have been brought in and everything is decorated in white, gold, purple and blue. And everywhere I look is flowers.

Zanian stare in amazement and smiled. “this looks beautiful Nelly.” Zanian said and walked off to the kitchen where Maggie handed me a plate of food and said that this is the best she could do. I looked at the plate and it’s filled with cheese toast and bacon which is Chrystal’s favourite breakfast.

Zanian smiled and thanked her and walked off to find a quiet place to eat.

When Julian came downstairs he had to stop and take everything in. ‘so many changes.’ He muttered under his breath walking towards the door.

He has decided that a good old fashioned hunt would be the best thing to relieve his nerves and have some space to breathe.

Chrystal POV

“Do I really need all this?” I asked again.

I have been sitting down for the last three hours getting my nails done, having a massage and next stop is my hair. I mean I love Deliah but she has been keeping me from seeing Zanian and Julian this whole morning.

“yes you do. This isn’t just some event C. this is your wedding and you only do this once so it has to be perfect.” Deliah said with a soft look in her eyes.

The way it looks for me she is more excited about this wedding than I am and don’t get me wrong I am very excited I just don’t show it because then my nerves would show as well and I might have a breakdown.

This is the day every young girl ever dreams of having and it has to be perfect as mine will be. Even if I get married in a black bag it doesn’t matter because what matters is I am getting married to the guys I love and that is what keeps me going through this insanely long beuty treatments.

“how long is this going to take?” I asked again fearing that I might be late to my own wedding.

“we are done now we will do your hair.” Deliah said and I must say my body feels amazing like I just woke up from an eight hour sleep after being awake for days.

As I sat there staring at myself in the mirror I can barely recognize myself. My skin looks like it’s glowing and it looks like it would feel like satin.

To test my theory I ran my hand over my arm and smiled when I felt like satin under my tough. I really have to find out what oil they used on my skin.

Deliah and Sandy were busy trying to decide what to do with my hair and settled for a plat twisted in the form of a rose with a few loose strands hanging down my neck and ears.

Deliah took a few purple and gold strings and weaved it through the rose which makes it stand out even more and I’m considering getting purple highlights seeing as it looks amazing.

When they were done with my hair it was time for my make-up and it truly feels like I’m in a beauty salon getting ready for a red carpet function instead of a wedding. If it were up to me I would have just done the basic beauty things because I mean the guys have seen me wake up in the morning and they didn’t run for the heels so what does it matter what I look like today?

“and we are almost done.” Deliah said putting something on my lips which tastes like strawberry chocolate.

I swiped my tongue over my bottom lip and got scolding from Deliah.

“it’s not for eating doesn’t matter how good it smells or tastes.”

Deliah turned the chair back so that I’m facing the mirror and when I opened my eyes I gasped at my own reflection.

All my colours are gold and purple with a hint of silver almost like my dress.

“this looks amazing.” I said admiring myself a little more. I turned my face every which way and couldn’t stop looking.

“okay now it’s time for the dress or you will be late.” Sandy said walking out with my dress draped across her arm holding it up in the other hand.

I got up from the chair and took off the robe I was wearing and immediately I could feel my nerves spiking and my breathing becoming uneven.

“hey, it’s okay to be nervous.” Deliah said from beside me with her hand on my shoulder.

“I know and I’m also excited.” I said smiling at Deliah and Sandy.

After I put the dress on Deliah helped with my shoes. I stood there trying my best not to cry, but seems like my tears had other ideas and luckily my make-up is waterproof or Deliah might have just scolded me again.

Deliah and sandy took a few steps back and looked at me, “you are by far the most beautiful bride we have ever seen.” Deliah said and Sandy was just staring with tears in her eyes which caused me to tear up… again.

“you guys are the best.” I said holding my arms open for a hug.

“ohh three more things.” Deliah said walking to the bed and back to me with three small boxes in her hands.

She handed me one box and said, “something new.” I opened the box and found I silver and gold diamond necklace with matching earrings. Sandy helped me put it on.

“something borrowed.” Deliah said and handed me another small box with a bracelet that looks really, really old. “who’s is this?” I asked staring at the bracelet. “it was my grandmothers whose mother gave it to her on her wedding day as something old which I am now giving you as something borrowed.” I stared at Deliah and then watched as Sandy secured it around my wrist.

“and now for something Blue.” Deliah said handing me the last small box in her hand.

I opened the lid and gasped at the blue sapphire stone attached to a hairpin.

Deliah took the pin from the box and took the loose strand hanging down my face and pinned it to the side of my head.

“now we are done.” Deliah said and this time she had tears in her eyes. There was a knock o the door and I looked out the window seeing the sun is high in the sky which means it almost 3 O clock.

Sandy opened the door and Nelly came in and froze when she saw me. I swear if everyone keeps crying I will start crying I though as Nelly walked closer to me taking my hands in hers.

“you look absolutely beautiful.” Nelly said smiling through her tears.

“thank you.” I said smiling back.

Nelly handed me a bouquet of flowers and said, “it’s time.”

“where is Tyler?” I asked causing everyone to look at me. “I will go call him.” Sandy said seeming to be the only one with a functioning brain.

I followed Nelly and Deliah out of the room and waited in the hallway. ‘I forgot to tell you, but Deliah snatched me and hid me in her house this morning since the actual wedding will be held in the yard and not the palace and where we exit it’s basically four steps to the aisle’

“they’re here.” Nelly said and left to start the wedding music.

Tyler came in and smiled his biggest smile at me. “I thought you would never ask.” He said taking my hand and placing it in the crook of his elbow.

I smiled up at him and even in six inch heels he is still taller than me.

When we round the corner the music started and I took a deep breath. Tyler smiled down at me and said, “ready.”

I nodded my head and we took the first step as the music started playing and everyone stood up. There is over ten thousand wolves here today and now all eyes are on me as I walk down the aisle red rose pedals covering the path like a red carpet, just with a better smell.

I looked left and right and smiled at everyone before I looked in front of me seeing my two gorgeous men dressed in white tuxes and the royal mantles around them pooling at their feet and golden crowns resting on their heads perfectly.

They have smiles so wide it looks like it might hurt and so much love in their eyes that I feel tears pooling in my eyes again.

Tyler left me at the bottom step and kissed my cheek before walking away taking his place next to where Zanian and Julian stands.

Zanian and Julian held out their hands for me which I took never leaving their eyes.

We stood opposite each other and I was asked to bend down a little so my crown could be put on.

The preacher came to the part where we could repeat after him or give our own vows, I chose to have our own vows and I just hope I wouldn’t forget mine half way.

Chrystal: “where to begin?” I asked with a soft sigh causing everyone to chuckle. I looked up Zanian and Julian and said, “the day I found I have another mate I was scared, but also determined. I have lost and I have gained, I felt love and I gave love but the day I met Zanian I felt like I have in fact never known love and you showed me what love is and even challenged me to the limit of giving up, but I didn’t because I knew we could fix each other and that we can learn from who we were and grow to who we are meant to be.

And I would never change a thing because I have learnt from you what no one else could have ever taught me and that is what love truly is and how it feels like to be loved.

I will be the best mother, wife and Queen that I can possibly be. Always be fair, always be forgiving and always be truthful.”

I took a breath and looked at Julian who is smiling trying to hide his tears. “now this is a complicated story, but a beautiful one.” I said not breaking eye contact.

“since the first night we met I knew you were different. There was just that something about you that made me want you even more even though you weren’t mine at the time.” Julian chuckled looking at me through teary eyes. “I have never imagined finding another mate let alone have two and my only regret is not finding you sooner to love you longer, but from this day on I make a vow in front of thousands of people to always love you, respect you, and get on your nerves occasionally.” Everyone burst out laughing even Zanian and Julian.

“I have never felt so complete as I do today and this is my promise to you, if you love me from today and every day after I would treat you like the king you are and will be.”

Zanian: “ so I can tell you how stubborn and obnoxious you are sometimes, but I’m not going to because I love that about you. I love the fact that you don’t just say yes and amen to everything I say or do, I love the fact that you sometimes challenge my decisions and come up with better ones even if it does hurt my ego.

The day I found I have you as my mate I was beyond terrified because I knew the moment I saw you I would do anything to keep you safe even if that meant driving you away, which I did and almost died in the process but that was okay because I knew you would be safe and then our lives took a turn neither of us expected and instead of driving you away I decided to keep you close and even that wasn’t enough because I feared that you would never forgive me for what I have done.

All my missing pieces begun fitting perfectly the day I met you and I think that is what scared me most because you could fix me where I couldn’t even fix myself you showed me what it’s like to love and be loved without conditions, without lies and most of all without holding back. Chrystalia Vulpes Stone I didn’t just fall head over heels for you I fell completely in love with you and I will love you even if you feed me disgusting sandwiches or threaten to kill me because I cannot imagine my life without you.”

By the end of Zanian’s vows I was full on crying and the tears just doesn’t want to stop I looked at them and the love in my heart will never fade nor will it stop.

“you may now kiss the bride.” The Preacher said and for a second we hesitated because how do you choose who to kiss first so I threw my hands around both my guys kissing their cheeks and in return they kiss mine.

“we will make up the kissing tonight.” Both Julian and Zanian whispered into my ears making Goosebumps spread over my entire body causing me to shiver.

Everything was perfect, howls ripped through the night sky as a life of pain turned into a life of love, friendship and most of all family.

We were all created in different ways and that difference is what makes us unique, it is what sets us apart from being normal.

It is what makes us extraordinary.
