Chapter 121
The Stone Blood Pack had never been busier as far as Seth could remember. Their main territory had over a thousand guests.
All hotels and guest houses were fully booked. Even the packhouse hosted a few alphas and their lunas. Alpha Kieran and Luna
Alexia’s second wedding marked the most significant event in their pack’s history.
‘Mel, everything okay at your end?’ Seth mindlinked, looking past the cars that had arrived at the front of the venue.
His mate, Melissa, was in charge of assigning everyone to their seats while he managed the security from outside. Dean,
Melissa’s friend, helped in the same way. Within the borders, all the rest of the ga mmas strictly patrolled the perimeter along
with their best warriors.
‘All good from here, Melissa replied. ‘Most guests have settled down.
Seeing Alpha Kai exit the car, Seth greeted, “Alpha Kai. Right this way. Everyone will have to go through a secondary security
check.”
“No exceptions, eh?” Alpha Kai teased, but he and his warriors, including his date, willingly went through another scan.
While their valued visitors followed safety protocol, Seth turned to watch the venue from the roadside.
Alpha Kieran ordered a temporary tinted glass dome built within five months for the wedding. The venue itself covered over two
thousand square feet of land. It was the ceremony’s location and the celebration that would follow.
The walking path of the dome had pillars of lavender-colored flowers, white blooms, pinches of leaves, and golden bows. While
waiting for Alexia’s arrival, the large double doors were still wide open, allowing all guests to walk in from the security check.
Everyone was dressed elegantly, in their best black suit and tie for men, and the ladies. wore lavender or a hint of the same hue.
‘The king has arrived,’ Clayton mindlinked from the main entrance border. It was Seth’s cue to double-check the VIP seats from
inside.
Seth entered the venue and eyed the security cameras and the warriors on standby. Although all their warriors wore formal wear,
they were secretly armed beneath their clothes, just in case.
Rows of seats, fronting long tables, were arranged evenly on each side of the venue. Per table, candle sticks and floral
centerpieces adorn the surfaces.
Now and then, artificial trees with floral blooms stood on the sides of the domes, along with white pillars. Above the ground
ornamentations, only lights were mounted, allowing everyone to see the sun setting through the glass dome.
Turning to his left, Seth saw Melissa ushering Alpha Kai to his seat. He was assigned to Alpha Kieran’s known allied alphas,
Alpha Baxter and Alpha Declan.
Gazing at the front, Seth met eyes with Alpha Kieran, who was engaged in a conversation
Chapter 121
with Queen Avery. Not too far from them, Lydia, now the caregiver of Alec, was carrying the alpha heir.
Alpha Kieran was wiping his forehead with a handkerchief repeatedly. Seth smirked, seeing as the alpha’s mother-in-law was
trying to calm his cousin. ‘Wait. Is Alpha Kieran seriously nervous?’
He guessed he would feel the same if he married his mate, Melissa. Still, this was already their second marriage. The first was
out of duty. This second would be out of Alpha Kieran’s love for their luna.
Next, Seth evaluated the VIP seats. He remembered how the king had specifically instructed the organizers for him to be seated
next to Queen Avery.
“Sam,” Seth called, his co-ga mma, standing by the VIP seats. Behind him were two Azenna warriors standing to guard the
queen’s chair.
With a nod, Sam said, “I’ve got this area covered, future stand-in alpha.”
‘The hell,’ Seth mused. Since Alpha Kieran’s constant back and forth from the palace to the Stone Blood Pack and the potential
talks of their alpha becoming the next king, warriors had speculated that he would take over the pack while Alec was still young.
After all, only one with a Valmore could lead the pack, and he was Alpha Kieran’s nearest kin.
Even if Beta Jaxon were a Valmore, he would never leave Kieran’s side-the thing with betas and their loyalty to their alphas.
In the next hour, more and more guests had arrived. Luna Beatrice showed up, now happy after meeting her true mate. Who
would have known that an elder from Eswen was her fated? It would seem as though the takeover of Eswen did many good.
Prince Raegan and Sheena had also arrived, having flown from Eswen. They had been. temporarily leading the country. It was a
task supposedly assigned to Alpha Baxter, but the latter wanted to stay in Taplean. In fact, none of the alphas of Taplean wished
to remain in the nation. Thus, the burden was left on Prince Raegan’s shoulders, who could not say no to Alpha Kieran.
Soon, the entourage was ready. Beta Jaxon and Rae were in their places. Alpha Kieran walked back to the entrance, and so did
Queen Avery. Alexia’s bridal car was parked right outside. When King Balthasar’s royal cars eventually turned up, all organizers,
including the warriors, prepared for the wedding march.
The king exited the car with a smile reaching his ears. He happily greeted Queen Avery. For that brief moment, Seth swore his
king was flirting like a young lad.
Seth smiled. He looked around and thought it amusing how many had found their true mates amidst and after the war. Under his
breath, he remarked, “F**king love is in the air.”
Kieran –
The first time Alpha Kieran got married, a small part of him questioned his future as a husband to Alexia. He wasn’t sure how
long he could be married to her back then.
Now, it was a completely different story.
Chapter 12!
Kieran was nervous. He was already married to his true mate, the love of his life, and his wife, but something about making that
day memorable for Alexia made him all anxious- that, and the fact that all alphas of the land would see him as a whipped man,
madly in love with his wife.
“Alpha Kieran, let us start,” the wedding coordinator announced.
From there, the instrumental music began. Starting with Kieran and Jaxon, the entourage made their way to the front. The king
and queen followed. Rae was the last to walk in before the double doors closed.
Above the see-through glass dome, the skies turned bright orange, the sun setting. To the humans, the sunrise was the best time
to get married, but to the werewolf kind, it was best to end the wedding celebration with the moon up in the night sky, blessed by
their goddess.
Kieran turned to the double doors as the music shifted to another tune. He gulped as the lights were switched off, and only the
sunset illuminated the venue.
All heads snapped in the same direction. Soon Kieran saw the door dramatically opening, and Alexia’s silhouette came into his
view.
Kieran’s heart sk ipped a beat. The more the door revealed her frame, he took deep. breaths. Alexia simply took his breath away.
Jaxon, he reminded his beta of the task Kieran had given.
‘Don’t cry, Beta Jaxon said.
‘It’s okay to cry, Alpha. That’s what love is, Rae said otherwise.
Alexia looked like a goddess. Unlike the simple gown he made her wear during their first wedding, Kieran splurged on his wife
this time, hiring the best gown designer in the
nation.
She wore a mermaid-cut wedding dress. Her gown hugged her frame perfectly while, towards her feet, it flowed openly, and a
long glistening tail flowed at the back of her dress. Her dress was embroidered with eccentric vine-like details, and shimmering
gems adorned it.
Alexia wore a crown over her head, sparkling with her dress and accessories. His wife chose not to wear a veil, and Kieran was
okay with it, given how many k*sses he would give her when the ceremony was done. Without anything to cover her, everyone
saw the happy glow on her face and her beauty’s exquisiteness.
Kieran thought he had seen it all, having claimed his wife, marked her, and having a son with her, but watching her as she
walked down the aisle, knowing full well that he had her love, gave him another kind of gratifying emotion.
‘Beautiful,’ he said to her through mindlink. And you are mine.’
From a distance, he saw her smile. She replied, ‘You are looking so hot yourself, husband. And you are mine too.
‘Careful with words now, my wife. I might drag you out of this venue and back to our house. I’ll tear that lovely dress of yours and
bend you over our bed,’ he teased, making Alexia flush as she made her way to the middle of the venue.
Chapter 121
Finally making it to the front of the venue, Kieran watched as Alexia k*ssed her mother and hugged the king. The two royal
leaders blessed her and Kieran with the second oath of marriage.
Facing the officiant, Kieran held Alexia’s hand. Sparks ran down his b*dy again, like they had just met. A smile formed on his
face before the officiant said, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join Alpha Kieran and Luna Alexia in matrimony.”
