In the heart of darkness

37

  She nods her head
 
  "I think that was the plan but it just didn't work out that way"
 
  She tells us, I grin, I love babies, especially ginger ones. For some reason they are just so darn cute I could squeeze their little cheeks. I didn't want a baby yet, not for a long time actually. I just want to spend the time that I have with Carter. It's always been us all these years but we have had no freedom to do what we want when we want so I want to take advantage of that when I have the chance.
 
  Because when I do have a baby I want that baby to be so loved, I want to give it all of my attention like my mum and dads gave us. They were alway by our side, they always had our back and they never let us down. They were amazing parents and even amazing grandparents. They are what I want to be in the future.
 
  We spent the rest of the morning getting our hair and makeup done, mine was minimal because I didn't need foundation but they did manage to make me look flawless and like a bride. The crowds had started to arrive. My family came from all over to be here, my pack had come in from out of town and everyone genuinely wanted to be here and celebrate.
 
  Dads welcomed the ally packs giving the younger generation a chance to find their mates. They take any opportunity to shuffle through the crowd and make sure they haven't missed anyone.
 
  By the time I was done with my hair and makeup I was bored of all the rushing around and all the people. I craved quite, so I took ghost and snuck off to Carter's room. I smoked out the balcony watching the caius around me but I noticed Carter looking tense and standing out the back at the tree line. After a second he looks up at me and his face splits into a grin.
 
  "You have no idea how long i've been waiting for you to go up there"
 
  I chuckle leaning over
 
  "You could have just linked me"
 
  "I know but I didn't want to get in the way"
 
  "You are never in the way Carter, come up"
 
  I wag him towards me and he grins. He jumps on the tree next to his window and climbs it. Then he walks the branch and hops down in front of me grabbing my waist and pulling me into the air and he kisses me softly. I moan, deepening it straight away. I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. My body explodes in goosebumps and I moan as my hips buck against him. He groans moving and laying me on my back on the bed. He gets in between my legs and he kisses down my throat and to my mark.
 
  "Fuckkk carter awwwww"
 
  I groan as his hands slide up my body and under my shirt. I gasp as his hands touch me, slowly running over my skin and around my nipple. His touch left a memory on my skin. His teeth bite down on my mark and I groan as he pulls my shirt up and over my head. The cool air wraps around me and makes my already sensitive skin more sensitive.
 
  "Fuck you are so beautiful"
 
  He whispers as he kisses down my chest, my back arches into him as he runs his tongue around my nipple just as the door knocks. I groan
 
  "What!"
 
  "Dads are on the way get Carter out before they find him"
 
  Ashley calls out, making us both chuckle.
 
  "Fine I'm going thanks sis"
 
  "No problem"
 
  She whispers, Carter hands me my top and helps me sit up kissing my lips softly
 
  "I better go. I love you"
 
  He kisses me again and I pout
 
  "It's not long left baby. Actually it's only 30 minutes and I'll be waiting for you at the top of the aisle"
 
  "Mmmm I'll be the one in white"
 
  He grins winking then he takes off out the balcony just in time for the door to knock again. I open it and smile at my parents and Ashley who are holding my dress.
 
  "Are you ready for this?"
 
  "More than ready come in"
 
  I let them in and ghost greets them. Mum pats his head then she pushes dads out
 
  "You can come back in when it's on"
 
  They roll their eyes and I roll them back. As if I was going to let them see me naked. I strip off then Ashley and mum helps me put my dress on. It's fitted perfectly to my body. Even more so than last time as they had alterations done to it. It fitted perfectly and it made me so excited. Mum opened the door and dads were waiting for us. They gasp looking at me carefully, I could see the excitement in their eyes.
 
  Ashley looked amazing, her cropped dirty blonde hair down to her shoulders, curled to perfection. Her eyes were a beautiful dusty pink matching the nude colour on her lips and cheeks. She wore a simple golden silk strappy floor length gown that had a slit up to her thigh. She was my maid of honour. Mum wore a similar dress but she had a corset on top. Dads wore a tailored royal blue suit with a golden textured tie and waistcoat. My parents and Ashley helped put all of my jewellery on me then my shoes. I had finally managed to break my shoes in. I felt so regal and proper and I had to admit it felt emotional to have actually gotten this far.
 
  "I need to smoke, and a drink. Something strong?"
 
  I ask dads, they nod leaving to fulfill my request as we go to the balcony and smoke. I'm not a nervous person but seeing all these people here waiting for me was making me nervous. Ghost sensing this comes to my feet and moans. I rub his back and take a deep satisfying breath as I feel the stress leave me. We smoke in comfortable silence as dads arrive with a glass of something brown, I don't care what it is I knock it back and ask for more
 
  "Are you ok?"
 
  "Yes just so many people"
 
  I fan my face as dad hunkers down in front of me
 
  "I didn't think you were afraid of crowds"
 
  I snort
 
  "That is not a crowd, that's a damn stadium when westlife has a reunion. How many are there?"
 
  I look at Scott as he fills my glass and passes it back to me. My hand trembles with nerves as I take a large drink.
 
  "Around 8 thousand"
 
  My eyes widened and I looked at each one of them and they were not joking so I took another drink.
 
  "I need Carter can we start, he will calm me down"
 
  "Yes come on, they are waiting for you."
 
  I down the last of the drink and finish my smoke and stand on my feet. I look myself over one last time and I really do look and feel beautiful. My hair is in a simple messy updo with some curls falling down here and there. My silver crown sat atop of my head making me feel regal and proper.
 
  My dress was so completely beautiful, the long v down my chest made my neck and face look longer. The small belt wraps around my waist above my belly and gives the illusion that my legs were longer than they are while pinching my waist and making me look snatched. The aline skirt gives me a beautiful shape, insinuating my own. The lace on the back held the fabric that covers my boobs in place. And As the lace finished the short train began, flowing out behind me as I walked making me look like a queen. On my feet were white stiletto pumps.
 
  My jewellery sparkled and Shawn as the sun hit each one. Suddenly the anxiety and fear was replaced with excitement and hope. We make it downstairs as ella and Lexi walk in looking beautiful. All wore the same golden dress that Ashley wore. They each held a bouquet of blue daisies, golden and orange Marigolds. Both were my favourite flowers. Mum kisses my cheek
 
  "You look so beautiful and I'm so proud of you. I'll see you out there ok"
 
  "Thanks mum"
 
  She went ahead so Carter could walk her up the aisle. We followed them out, there were people everywhere, huge TVs sat around the area so people could watch the ceremony. Ashley walked first, walking up the aisle while the musicians played guitar to a sweet soft harmony. Next went Ella followed by Lexi. Then it was my turn. Both dads kissed my cheek then held an arm each. My stomach rolled as each person turned to look at me. Many gasp, others grin. My heart pumped in my chest so hard it was hard to catch a breath.
 
  As we made it to the last aisle I looked to my dads who were both watching me proudly with tears in their eyes. They squeeze my hand and that gives me the courage to take the next step and then I see him. As I turned the corner his stressed tense face softened and slowly a grin spread across his face. His eyes danced down my body as his eyes welled up and tears fell down his cheek.
 
  He looked so so beautiful, his thick messy curly hair was pushed back and away from his face. His straight nose matched his chiseled jaw beautifully. His eyes were so bright and full of love for me. His royal blue suit was perfectly Taylored to his large frame. His golden tie was tucked neatly behind his blue vest. He looked godly and I felt so overwhelmingly lucky to have him. Cleo pushed to the front so she could see too. She starts to purr in my head and I swear his grin gets wider. Everyone else disappeared, no one else existed except me and him.
 
  I felt hypnotised by his beauty as he stepped off the stage and jogged to me. Dad groans
 
  "For heaven's sake can he not just do what he is meant to do for one damn day"
 
  I giggle pulling away from them and I let him scoop me up and into his arms. He slams his lips against mine and he moans. My body relaxes against him as the crowd around us howl and cheer. He pulls back looking into my eyes, tears ran down his cheeks
 
  "You look so beautiful. So so so beautiful. I love you so fucking much"
 
  He kisses me again and I moan.
 
  "Would you stop and go get married"
 
  Dad scolds us making me chuckle, Carter scoops me up and carries me bridle style the rest of the way. He kisses my lips one more time then he sets me on my feet and our elder Henry steps forward. He grins at me.
 
  "Today is a good day, today is the day our king marries our queen. Today is the first step to a whole new world, an entirely new generation that will rule and bring our kind into the future. These 2 we have watched grow in power and strength, we watched them make mistakes and come into their own. Grow and explore and learn how to love. We watched them fuck up and make up, we watched them save lives and bring about a better future for our kind and it's my pleasure to be the one to finally join you both in Matramony. Now we will start with queen Carly why don't you tell king Carter your vows"
