REGINA

40. Epilogue

"How do I look?" Andrea twirled in front of her brother who was busy staring into a file for the last thirty minutes. He would peak above the file from time to time to give his opinions on the dressed Andrea was trying on.
"Come on now! It's my wedding today." She whined and Marve quickly dropped his file before coming up to her to squeeze her cheeks.
"I am sorry little sister but it was related to the little grand wedding you will be having in a just a few hours."
She smiled and hugged her brother before sending him away to get dressed.
Marce was running here and there to make sure everyone was set perfectly. The groom's family had arrived a day before to get things to function more easily and Marce made every effort to make things perfect for this day. He tugged at his collar and contemplated about weather he should get a tie or not at last deciding to just let it sit in the wardrobe. Pulling his coat on he went out one last time to inspect the things when his eyes fell on a a figure approaching the wedding location on a motorcycle. His protective instincts of that an Alpha made him cross his eyebrows. He threw the coat on a chair and walked briskly towards the person on the bike. "How come someone crossed the gates without me knowing?" He thought to himself. He had taken just a few steps when the person stopped the bike and removed it's helmet. The beautiful mop of dark hair unravelled through it. The swift sway of her hips made him grasp for air. The people around him got down on their knees to bow for her and she smiled at them. The same sweet smile that had tugged at his heart strings ten years ago. Her eyes twinkled in the same way as they did back then. She removed her coat and gave her bags to an Omega who squeeled in excitement. That's gonna be on broadcast now. 
Marce didn't realise his mouth was hung open when she appeared in front of her and pushed his mouth shut. It felt like a dream and he thought he was imagining things but when she touched him he came to realise that it was reality.
"Hi." Her voice felt like honey to his ears and he did and overall of her before engulfing her into a big hug.
"You took way too long don't you think?" He snuggled his face into her hair and breathed in her scent.
"I missed you but I couldn't leave everything in the middle." She sighed and pulled him closer to her, if that was even possible.
"Don't worry, you're right at time." He chuckled.

Fiona's Pov.

Damn that sexy man of mine! I tried to keep my cool when I saw him in formals, his once cleaner shaved face sported a little stubble that made him even sexier. He had gained much more muscles from before and seeing him made my heart flip over and over again. The butterflies in my stomach had turned into a whole zoo when he looked at me with those stormy grey eyes. Even at thirty seven he looked heavenly and I couldn't wait to jump him.
"Whoa am I in heat?" I reflected on my own words before he pulled me into his hug and God that was the most satisfying feeling in the entire world. Our little get together was interrupted by a shrill squeel that made me look back at the lady who was dressed up in white but managed to run up to me in those dangerously high heels.
"God damnit Fiona. You're here!!!!" She jumped and hugged me several times before realising the position and bowed down.
"Sorry Regina." She calmly said but I waved her off. "I'm your Fiona, darling just call me that." Her face lit up once again and slowly everyone joined to welcome their Regina. Star and Olivia had literal tears when they hugged me, Star hitting me lightly for not responding to her letters while Olivia kept on looking at me with fond eyes. The crowd slowly parted and out came my mother in all her glory, she looked more like she did in those pictures I had seen on the first day here and he carefully approached me. The crowd went silent when she hugged me. "Fiona." She whispered into my hair and a drop of tear fell from my eyes as I hugged her tightly, Dad joining us soon after. It was overwhelming for me that after leaving the pack for my mental health they welcomed me even after ten years of exhile and showed so much love and care for me. When I was entering the pack I had seen a few paintings and statues of me and I was flattered. They really made me their hero. Sephatis had been with me this whole time but reuniting with Aziza was the most heartfelt moment for me. She accepted me with love and unlike her hate for me before she was more than willing to reunite. The wedding of Andrea and Jude took place peacefully. Marce was full on crying like a kid as he let go of his little sister who was going to become the Luna of Steric Pack. Christiana was engrossed in her colourful liquids but much sober than the last time I had seen her. I wore a little flower dress that went up to my knees and Marce would hold my waist every now and then. "I can't wait to be alone with you."  He whispered through the mind link and my cheeks turned warm with shyness. I lightly hit him on his side and he just smirked at me. Guests came in from all sides and bowed at me.
I had taken a break to find my true self, to get rid of the guilt I had but to be honest this was the place that held the power to heal me. I regret a bit for staying away for so long but it also made me value my birth place more than ever before. I was ready to serve the pack, to serve the Warewolf community in order to reciprocate the love and respect I got.

"You're staying in my cabin today. I don't know anything else." Marce pouted when him and I walked alongside the river and I couldn't help but laugh at his silliness. Surely the booz was acting up.
"You are not sober Marce. How much did you drink?" I looked at his eyes.
"Just enough to not let you slip from my arms ever again now." He stopped and pulled me closer, folding his hands at the back of my waist. I placed my hands on his chest, the muscles under the thin shirt making it difficult to just stay put.
"Marry me Fiona." Marce whispered and looked at me with those stormy eyes of his. My breath hitched and suddenly I was out of words.
"I-um-uh-wh-what?" I stuttered which made him chuckle. He leaned down to kiss my nose and a blush crept up his face.
"Marry me. I can't wait any longer to be your husband. I want you near me every second, you have no idea how painful it was for me to keep myself sane while you were away from me. I never felt warmth in my life, it felt like the colours of life had faded. Didn't you miss me?" He spoke in a hushed voice. I put my hands on his cheeks and pulled him for a kiss, his lips felt soft under mine and gently he started kissing me, started slow but then he took control, going a bit rough, in an urgency he pulled me even closer to him. We pulled away as both came short of breath. He placed his forehead against mine and asked again.
"Will you marry me?" He slowly bent down on his knees and pulled a little velvet box, revealing a dainty yet stunning ring that shone in the moonlight.
"Where did you even keep that handy?" I chuckled and he laughed along.
"Well I had a feeling you would come back today.......so?" He looked at me, anticipation an answer and I leaned down, pulling him into a kiss again before whispering .
"Yes I will. Sorry for making you wait so long." I kissed his nose. He smiled like a kid when I said that and gosh how much I missed that sweet smile of his, the dimples digging deep into his sweet cheeks and his nose scrunching a bit, his eyes hiding cause that big his smile was. He gently put the ring on my finger and lifted me up in bridal style and twirled me around while giggling like a kid. I couldn't help but laugh out loud, our laughter echoed through the lake. He stopped and turned to me.
"We have a lot to catch on don't we?"
His eyes held mischief and my cheeks turned red but I didn't hesitate and pulled him into a kiss. We both fought for dominance and finally I gave in as his velvety kiss was more than what I wanted now. Before I could register the changes in the surroundings I was pushed into the plush bed of Marce, his smell feeling like heaven to me and Aziza howled in approval. He started unbuttoning his shirt to reveal the muscular chest and abs, dang he bulked up so much. I didn't realise I was panting when he neared my ear and whispered in his deep voice. "You would want to keep it down." He slowly pulled my sleeves down, kissing the exposed skin and I leaned back to give him more access, him on top of me, kissing me everywhere, sending jolts of energy down my body. He looked into my eyes with so much passion and love that it did scare me a bit. He roughly pulled my dress away from me and I licked my lips.
"Dang it's gonna be a long night." His lips came crashing on me again and we got entangled into one another.

The end.
