The Kings Mate -Werewolf King #1-

Chapter 18:

First I'd like to apologize for how jumpy it gets towards the end. No way I tried to write it was horrible and not interesting. Second I forgot the picture of the reception so I'll post that in the next chapter. Thirdly in the next chapter is the honeymoon so you pretty much know whats going to happen and I'm not good at writing that so please bare with me as it might take me a while to get it right.

This was it.

I was getting married today.  I was getting married to the person I loved most in the world and I couldn't live without. I'd heard off cold feet but I hadn't really understood what it had meant but what I did know was that I felt like I was going to throw up.

Ryder had been weird all week since we had gotten back to Caldera. He still hadn't told me about what happened during the ball but it was affecting him a lot. Whenever he was around which wasn't as often as usual, he was quiet and he would just stay by my side with his hand on my waist or wrapped around mine.

It was only yesterday at lunch when he had spoken without being spoken to. He had gotten up from the table and pulled my chair out so he could crouch down in-between my legs he smiled softly as he lifted his hands to run them over my cheeks, I couldn't help the smooth smile that pulls on my lips. He'd told me that he loved me and that he was sorry for how he'd been acting but he couldn't wait to see me walking down the aisle and that he could finally call me his wife. I hadn't seen him since.

I also hadn't seen any of my guards since then either but Reynolds had woken me up this morning. I'd had different and more guards posted outside my door and it wasn't long after that I had returned to the suite after lunch that the doors had been opened to the girls with their arms full with snack foods.

It turns out that all my guards had disappeared off to the bachelor party that they were throwing for Ryder. Ellie seemed to have sensed that it had made me nervous and she put her hands on my shoulders and told me not to worry about it, which was true I should have been worried about the bridesmaids.

They had rearranged the lounge so it had seemed more like a large bed with an array of cushions and it's where we stayed until midnight half watching the movies that were on and half was talking about our mates. When the sex life topic came up I felt as embarrassed as what the guard posted on the inside of the door was, we both wanted to be someone else in that moment.

I hadn't slept properly that night after they had all left and it wasn't because of the lack of warmth that was missing along with Ryder's presence. When I had gotten to the bedroom I chuckled at the white shirt and the grey hoodie that had been laid out on the perfectly made bed. My feet had carried my across the room and I instantly had the warm clothes that he had slept in the night before in my arms and his scent was invading my senses.

I didn't know why I was so nervous that I spent the night tossing and turning. It was all adding up to be so much and today a lot of that weight was going to be lifted from my shoulders, I should have slept peacefully but I hadn't. Exhaustion had ended up taking me at one point and it wasn't until half an hour ago at eleven thirty that Reynolds had gently woken me up.

Currently Reynolds was sat in the chair across the suite with his feet up on the coffee table as I paced at the end of the bed. Ellie was supposed to show up at twelve to help me get ready but she was still yet to show up.

The ceremony was at two thirty and would go for an hour then we would have an half an hour break so Ellie could redo my hair and makeup and change my dress for the coronation. The coronation was going to be quick and go for half an hour then I had to change back into my dress for the reception at five.
