In the heart of darkness

38

  I swallow the lump in my throat, dry from nerves. But now was not the time to be a chicken. I clear my throat and smile at them both as the mic is pushed closer.
 
  "Carter I wish I had words to describe how much you mean to me. There aren't any, it's just love and adoration. I can't imagine living in a world without you and I hope I never need to. You are my Prince Charming, the boy of my dreams. You're my biggest support and my most trusted protector. You say I'm the light and you're the dark but I don't think you understand just how important the dark is to light. How such a powerful contrast can be so important. I may be your light but in a world with only light you are my darkness. You are my rest, my comfort, you help me be me. Since gaining my powers I've realised I've lived a 100 lives, but none of them have ever meant so much to me and my wolf as this life I have with you. So we stand here today and we take you in sickness and in health, in darkness and in light, through troubles and celebration for this day and everyday and until the day of our death."
 
  He looks so surprised by my vows, like he never realised just how important he is to me. He wipes a tear from his face and he clears his throat.
 
  "Carly cù, you are the light in my dark but you're also so much more than that. You are every colour of the rainbow and you fill my soul with so much joy I never thought it was possible. I never thought I would be able to love as purely as I love you and make no mistake I love you, I love you so much that I would fall to my knees in front of the world and cry at your feet just to prove how amazed and happy I am that you chose me. You are mine carly and I can't ever imagine a life without you in it. If I didn't have you to lead me through the darkness I know life would be worthless, you give me purpose and drive. In a 100 lives me and my Wolf have never had anything so worth living for. Nothing comes close to how we love you. All I want to do is make you smile, laugh, play and be my Carly Cù so I will take you today and everyday, in sickness and in health, through darkness and light, through happiness and sorrow until
  The day we both die"
 
  He leans down and he kisses my lips softly. I grinned at him, wiping my face. Henry clears his throat and wipes his face of his own tears making me smile.
 
  "Let's do rings"
 
  He chuckles, wiping his face again. Carter whistles and I turn to ghost running down the aisle wearing a blue bow tie
 
  "Awww it's so cute"
 
  He comes right up to us so I bend over and pat him, he places a box in my hand and sits down between us proudly. I giggle, opening the box and taking his ring out. I place it on his finger and he grins taking my ring and placing it on my finger kissing my hand when he's done.
 
  "Now Carter, will you take Carly to be your wife?"
 
  "I do"
 
  "Carly will you take Carter as your husband"
 
  "I do"
 
  "I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss your bride"
 
  Carter catches me pulling me up and he kisses me as ghost growls at him he groans looking at him and shooing him back with his shoe
 
  "She is mine go away"
 
  Everyone laughs as he continues to growl at him.
 
  "I don't like that wolf"
 
  "Well I love him, other then me I don't think iv ever heard anyone tell you no before"
 
  He snorts kissing me again and he spins me around
 
  "You look unbelievably beautiful. And this dress"
 
  He puffs
 
  "Damn you look so hot"
 
  He kisses me again then looks to the crowd and I groan
 
  "There's a lot of them isn't there"
 
  I whisper he shrugs
 
  "Don't care, today it's you and me and we are free to do what we want to do"
 
  "Get your head out of that gutter, your not free to do what your thinking about doing until I have photos"
 
  Scott points at him, he growls glaring at him making me laugh. The crowd starts to clear out as our guards all cave in around us keeping the people away from both royal families.
 
  "Has anyone got a flask, damn I'm thirsty"
 
  Luke steps up and secretly hands me one
 
  "Don't tell mum"
 
  He whispers watching her I take it and open it and take a large gulp and i pass it to Carter I look to Luke
 
  "She's already drunk, you know that right?"
 
  "No I didn't"
 
  He slaps his hands together and starts to eye the talent like the dog he is, dad grabs the back of his shirt as he goes to run off
 
  "Not until after pictures and stop being a slut! What if your mates a slut? how would you feel?"
 
  "Bothered"
 
  He tells him crossing his arms and rolling his eyes, dads and Carter snort and look to each other smirking
 
  "Oh you have no idea do you, heaven help you, I hope she's a virgin or a lot of boys will die"
 
  Jaxon tells him shaking his head. Ella takes the flask from Carter and he smirks at her. She frowns
 
  "What?"
 
  She goes to give it back but he pushes it back to her lips
 
  "Your going to need more than that"
 
  I look at Carter and he smirks as Ella eyes him confused so I take the flask back.
 
  "Sir you can't go up there get back in line"
 
  Everyone having coped on to what Carter didn't say snaps their head in the direction where the guards were trying to stop a very handsome red head who was determined to get past.
 
  "I need to! I have to get through now"
 
  "No the royal families are up there and unless you are one of them you need to leave before you get yourself killed"
 
 
  He growls sniffing the air, his eyes run down the line of me and my family and I see Fay grab Ardens arm and point to him. He stops staring straight at her back but she's oblivious to what is happening.
 
  "Let him through"
 
  Carter calls, he's a Lycan, a patrol guard with the elite warriors in our pack. A damn good one too
 
  "Thank you alpha"
 
  They let him pass and ella's nose goes up in the air and she moans then looks to me and gasps and I grin at her. She slowly turns, grabbing my hand in hers and she sees him. Her eyes slowly take him in, watering instantly and the boy stops his jaw going slack when he sees just how beautiful she actually is.
 
  Everyone had stopped what they were doing, their eyes trained on the werewolf queen meeting her king for the first time. He walks closer but her personal guards stop him looking at her for permission, but all of them wore the same happy grin
 
  "Let him through"
 
  Her mate smiles and he walks towards her. But stops when he sees Arden and Fay and he turns to them both baring his neck
 
  "Mr Moon, I'm Aaron Jamison and your daughter is my mate. Can I have your permission to talk with her"
 
  Fay starts to jump on the spot. She nods as Arden looks surprised but he smiles
 
  "Yes you can"
 
  He looks back at Ella and he runs to her catching her face and he kisses her but she doesn't argue dropping my hand and she kisses him back, he moans and his eyes widen and he pulls back
 
  "Shit sorry I said talk didn't I"
 
  He says awkwardly scratching the back of his head and we all howl in laughter. Ella catches him by the tie and pulls him back towards her
 
  "Same thing"
 
  She kisses him again then pulls back
 
  "Oh yeah I'm Ella"
 
  We chuckle at the awkward pair as Cleo facepalms shaking her head at her.
 
  "Well you might as well get photos too, hey you give me your blue jacket and you give me your tie"
 
  Dad orders guards who immediately start doing what they are told. He looks to Aaron
 
  "Hurry up and take off your tie and jacket your not ruining these photos with whatever this is"
 
  Dad tells him screwing up his nose and pointing at his outfit I facepalm as Carter chuckles into my hair the boy doesn't know where to look. But he does what he's told and dad gets him dressed in normal attire and we take pictures.
 
  When that's done it's time for food and drinks. Lots and lots of drinks. Carter kept me on his knee the entire evening. My guards were still permanently stuck to my side but they didn't interrupt our make out sessions.
 
  The music started to play as Carter ran his hand down my exposed back as he slowly kissed me. I wrap my arms around his neck and tangle my fingers in his hair pulling him as tight towards me as I can.
 
  "Time for the daddy daughter dance"
 
  Carter growls pulling me towards him and away from Scott and he continues to kiss me.
 
  "Carter let us dance and I swear you can leave, but the father daughter dance is now so give me my daughter"
 
  Jaxon tries to reason. Carter doesn't care as he continues to kiss me.
 
  "Carter come dance with me, then you can have Carly to yourself"
 
  Mum asks him and he sighs pulling away then he points to dads
