Seven Deadly Sins

Chapter Twenty

The weeks seemed to fly by and with time, Mikayla found herself feeling normal again. In the beginning she rarely left the house due to fear of what the virtues could be plotting, but little by little she ventured out with one of her men beside her of course.

A lot had led up to the present and now she was out in downtown Juneau the morning before the wedding. Mikayla was thankful to find Mrs. Monroe on a good day and extend her return to work for another month.

She knew her men had something to do with Mrs. Monroe's flexibility and willingness to accommodate her, but wasn't going to question or refuse the help.

She, the guys, Damien and Harlow had been there since Thursday. Harlow's other mates, Wes Lycaon and Val Terni, joined them this morning to participate in the day's festivities.

Harlow decided on doing a joint brunch and then a women's only dinner since Mikayla didn't want a bachelorette party. Val was adamant that the guys get their bachelor party and Mikayla saw no problems with that.

It wasn't that she didn't want to go out dancing or anything, but the fact remained that she had an irrational fear of male strippers. She had no idea where it came from, but the one time she allowed a coworker to drag her to a male strip club she ended up in a corner crying her eyes out. Ever since then, she said never again.

They all sat in a spacious private room to one of the fancy restaurants in downtown Juneau. Nathan had pulled some strings and she was very thankful. "Doesn't this look like too much food for just the fourteen of us?" Mikayla asked Gluttony.

"You know there's no such thing as too much food for me, darling." He winked causing her to chuckle. "Tony, come over here. I want to ask you something." Nathan said with a smile. "It is so weird hearing someone other than you call me that," Gluttony groaned in her ear before kissing her cheek.

Mikayla smiled as her mountain man jogged off to speak with the father that chose her. It warmed her heart so much. "You seem happier than you've ever been." Marion smiled at her daughter.

"I am, Mama. I just feel like I don't deserve all this." Marion squeezed her arm as she pulled her close to her. "You deserve every good thing, honey. I'm so very proud of you. I just wish I could meet their parents, because all of these men are summertime, wintertime and all the seasons finer than fine." Mikayla chuckled loudly. "Mama!" Marion shrugged with a chuckle.

As if on cue, Mikayla watched as Lucifer walked in with a wide smile. She immediately noticed the effect he had on her parents. His aura was a powerful one and it showed. "Father?!" Lust questioned in shock.

They watched their father walk towards them in a casual navy suit. Marion was on the move and Mikayla was quickly behind her. "Hello, I'm Marion, mother of the bride."

Lucifer took her hand with a smirk and kissed it. "Lu, father of the grooms." Marion's smile almost broke her face and Mikayla couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Lu? I didn't know you were a junior, Lu." Marion said talking to Lust. Lucifer shrugged. "He's my baby so I figured might as well." Lust rolled his eyes before Marion could see.

"It's really nice to meet you both," Lucifer addressed Marion and Nathan. "The pleasure is ours," Nathan said getting in between Marion and Lucifer causing Mikayla to cover up a giggle with a cough.

"You make beautiful sons," Marion offered with a smile that just made Nathan want to shake her out of her flirtatious haze. "They are quite handsome, aren't they?" Lucifer smiled at all of his sons.

"I'll have to admit though. They all get their looks from their mothers." As if summoned, Mikayla watched as gorgeous woman after gorgeous woman filed into the room.
