51 | The wedding

| Elliott |

I was going to officially marry Damian Reed once the two large doors opened in front of me.

It was in the middle of the night, the full moon was large and bright in the night sky.

I was standing inside a gorgeous Catholic Church because of Damian's Italian roots. His mother was a Catholic woman, she believed in the moon goddess and god at the same time.

For the past ten minutes, I was standing alone, staring at a painting inside the church of an angel on a cloud.

But I wasn't alone for long.

"Elliott!" Ash shouted as he ran towards me with open arms.

Kai trailed after him, he was wearing a black suit for the wedding. He was also pushing the double strollers as my babies were asleep.

Ash pulled me in for a hug as he began to shed a few tears. "Y-You're getting married..."

"I'm so happy for you." He sniffled, giving me one last pat on the shoulder before taking a napkin and wiping the tears from his eyes.

Tears welled in my eyes at my best friend's comforting words.

"Good luck!" Kai said with a happy smile on his face.

"Thank you." I whispered, wiping my own tears.

They went inside the church since they were going to sit in the front row and cheer for us along with my children.

I stood alone for a few moments, waiting for the wedding music to begin and play.

I tried to calm my nerves, but many thoughts raced through my mind, how would the future be for me and Damian?

Then I remember his words to take things minute by minute.

A chill ran down my spine when the orchestra started to play the wedding music, and the two doors opened in front of me.

I could feel the pounding of my heart, each beat a reminder of the fact that I was going to get married to Damian Reed.

I walked along the white carpet towards the altar, my gaze traveling all over the place, to the white roses, to the full moon outside the gorgeous Catholic Church.

I glanced at the left corner because Damian had hired a private photographer who was taking our wedding photos so one day we could show our kids.

Across the room, Damian Reed stood at the altar. He was looking devastatingly handsome in his black tailored suit. His dark hair was combed back as his hooded hazel eyes were intense and intimidating.

In two minutes, I will become Mr. Reed, Damian's husband.

I was happy to get married to a man whom I love. Every glance, every shared moment, had only deepened my feelings for him.

Kai and Ash were sitting in the front row. My best friend was holding Killian while Kai was holding Kallias.

Ash gave me a thumbs up while tears ran down his cheeks. I was lucky to have a best friend like him.

I finally reached the altar, where a priest and Damian were standing.

I stood in front of Damian, staring into his intense eyes, which held much affection for me.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Elliott Carey and Damian Reed," the priest began, his voice a monotonous drone that barely registered in my mind.

My eyes and ears were only for my mate.

"Do you, Elliott Carey, take Damian Reed to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?"

"I do," I whispered, my voice cracking under the weight of joy because I got to marry my mate, my soulmate.

The priest turned to Damian, repeating the vows.

"Do you, Damian Reed, take Elliott Carey to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?"

"I do." My mate's response was steady and firm because he wanted me, he wanted all of me.

The exchange of the golden rings followed, it was an heirloom from Damian mother's family. She had given two golden rings to him before she passed away. 

As Damian slid the ring onto my finger, I felt a tear slip down my cheek, a silent testament to happiness.

"You may now kiss your bride," the priest announced to my mate.

Damian wore a smug grin on his face since he loved to kiss me, trail kisses all over my body in the middle of the night.

He leaned in, his lips brushed against mine. "I love you, Elliott Reed."

Tears welled in my eyes from joy, "I love you way more, Damian Reed."

It was a long and a passionate kiss which I had imagined, Damian wouldn't leave me unsatisfied.

Kai and Ash erupted in applause, their cheers a deafening roar in my ears because my entire world was in front of me and his name was Damian Reed along with our children.
