Love Wins (lgbtq+)

Chapter 15

Dawn

Within the week Alexa and Deacon's mating ceremony preparations were finalized and all that remained was getting Deacon's people here. Alexa's father came up with the greatest idea; renting out a few busses and have the vehicles available for those of the Silverlight Pack that wanted to attend.

"Hey baby," I've taken a liking to this pet name thing.

"Hi honey," Micaah smiles down at me warmly and presses a kiss to my cheek.

"Ready for the big day tomorrow?" Micaah asks and I shrug looking at all the wolves running around putting the final touches on the banquet hall.

"I don't know. I've never done anything like this before." I whisper pressing into Micaah's warm side.

"You'll do great baby. Just stand by Alexa's side as her man of honor and smile." Micaah says jostling me a bit.

"Yea. Not so hard at all." I laugh when he sticks his tongue out at me.

"Go and show Deacon to his room Micaah. We'll meet up later after I drop Alexa back from her spa day." I kiss Micaah's cheek and push him away with a little laugh. Weddings do have a way in lifting spirits.

"Come now let's get to the spa Alexa." I tell her and she smiles at me.

"You know I wanted to be a little bratty and fight Harlem and my parents on all the preparations." I frown at the she wolf when I sit behind the wheel of the car that was loaned to us.

"Why?" I ask when I pull out of the hotel.

"I don't know. Punishment maybe but I'm glad I didn't." she grins and turns up the stereo.

I'm glad too. She can have a proper mating and ceremony. At least her mate wants her.

Alexa and I are pampered till we're both just floating. I swear I don't feel anything except relaxed as I drive us back to the hotel that her ceremony is being hosted in. I make sure and drop her off to her room and then go to mine to get my overnight bag before I join her once more. We both drop face first into our beds and watch reruns of High School Musical.

"I don't even have friends for a proper bachelorette party." Alexa moans and places a pillow over her face. I laugh and she tosses the pillow at me.

"Don't worry about that Alexa. The most important thing is that you're being mated tomorrow." I smile at her and toss her pillow back.

"Yea." She smiles then looks at me with a frown. "You didn't have that." She whispers and I sigh.

"No. I didn't."

"Do you mind me asking what happened between you three? I don't really know because I came back from boarding school just a few months after you left and all I heard was bullshit. Too many different versions for any of it to be true." she says and I sigh again.

"When I found out Harlem was my mate I also found out he knew and yet he chose to stay shacked up with Kerissa." I begin and Alexa nods.

"I heard you attacked Kerissa."

"I didn't. I attacked Harlem." Alexa grins and I never thought that I would grin while telling this story to anybody but grin I did.

"But how could he have refused the bond all those years. Harlem is five years your senior." Alexa gets off her bed and rummages through the mini bar in our suite. She plops down on my bed with two bottles of red wine and we drink. I'm not too worried. One bottle of wine won't do anything to us.

"I didn't mature until my twenty-first birthday so it was easy for him without my siren wailing for him." I admit.

"So you attacked the future king. How'd that turn out?" Alexa asks and I pull my jersey off. I turn so that she'd see the destruction of my back.
