The Mate

Chapter Nineteen

"Eww, dude. We're right here."

"Then go." he told his sisters.

"We are here to help her get in the dress and finish getting her ready. So, I need you to leave." Daisy told him.

"Actually, I need you guys to leave for just a few seconds." his sisters began to protest but he put a hand up. "I will let you back in the room. I just have to talk to her."

"Make it quick." Callie told him.

He mocked her as they walked out. He was getting nervous thinking about what needed to be done. He already knew her answer but he wanted to make sure. He went back out to the bedroom and made sure his door was shut.

He turned around to face her. He took a deep breath. "You are seriously the most beautiful person I have ever seen." His hand went to her cheek.

"Thank you."

"I'm serious though. Thank you for being the most amazing mate anyone could ever wish to have. I hope tonight is going to be the best birthday ever. And I want to give you another birthday present."

"Another one?"

He nodded. "I think this is the last one of the night. Well, maybe." he went to his closet and he came back with something in his hand. He sat down beside Melody. "Most wolves don't do this because it isn't a custom kind of thing. However, this is something I want to do." he slid down the bench that sat at the end of their bed. Kneeling on the floor in front of her he held up the small box.

"Mel, will you do me the honor of being not only my Luna but my wife as well. I will give you everything I can. I will make sure you will never have to go without. I love you Melody." he kissed her hand. "Will you please marry me?"

She couldn't seem to say or do anything but nod her head. Tears came down her face. She already knew that they were going to be together for all of life but for him to think about marrying her was not what she thought would happen.

"Best birthday ever." she whispered when she was able to pull away from his kiss. "Thank you for asking." she laughed while she looked at the rock that was on her finger. "I guess that family business is very busy."

"Oh it's extremely busy." he kissed her again. "Tonight," he said.

"Tonight?"

"Let's get married tonight."

"Why? I haven't gotten anything together, I don't have a dress. I don't-"

"What do you think tonight is all about?"

"I thought that was just for Ethan coming?"

"It started out that way, but then it became a party and now I can change it into a wedding, if that's okay with you."

"Oh, okay. Yeah, let's do it. We might as well."

"Really?" he smiled. "You promise?" he asked her to make sure once again.

"Yes." she laughed. "Absolutely. Yes."

"We can make it an alpha ceremony as well as a wedding. I can get everyone I need, they will all be there anyway."

"Okay, is my dress okay to wear?"

"It'll be fine." He told her. "I'll go ahead and get everyone in place." He gave her a kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too."

She watched him walk out the bedroom door and his four sisters and mother walked in. They started talking all at once. Grabbing her hand; looking at the ring; asking a hundred questions. She heard all his sisters talking but she couldn't understand them.
