Operation Unite The Beasts.

Mission Accomplished.

  ~Ariana's POV~
I bit my lip trying to calm my nerves even as mom stared amusedly at me.

"Calm yourself, it's your wedding day, not the apocalypse." She said to me with a laugh, I glared playfully at her even as she shoved me into the dressing room where the make up artist awaited.

I flashed the eager ladies a hesitant grin, before turning to my mom who had gotten in after me with a pleading look on my face even as they immediately began fussing over me and pulled me to the chair.

My bridal train consisting of Mia and a few other female friends along with Claire were present, yes Claire, I didn't know how it happened but after a while, we eventually started getting along, she was a nice enough person, when she wasn't being a bitch at least, Sky was already married and had a cute little girl named Lucy, they'd be arriving soon, Kay was unsurprisingly one of Jay's groom's men.

I shut my eyes even as the ladies began their work on my face, my mind completely occupied by the fact that today, I'd finally be legally married to my mates both by supernatural and human tradition, tonight I would bear their mark and come morning, I would be one of the most powerful women in the supernatural world.

My eyes fluttered open when they were done and I was quickly helped into my wedding dress, it was chosen by my mates and was astonishingly beautiful.

Once the dress was in place, I turned slowly to the mirror and gasped at the sight before me, an otherworldly black beauty stared back at me, she was so beautiful, I was stunned speechless.

"She's... she's beautiful mom." I whispered out in shock and my mom smiled through teary eyes.

"Indeed she is...the most beautiful bride ever seen, you know what else...she's you." My mom said, taking my hand into hers even as her eyes didn't leave my reflection.

"You look amazing my little girl, so amazing, your father would be so proud." She told me and I smiled sadly because I knew she was right, my father would have searched for the tallest building just so he could stand at the top and announce to the world that his beautiful baby girl was getting married.

We were drawn out of our brief moment by a knock on the door, it was time. I took one last look at myself before spinning around and slowly making my way out to the adjoining hall, where my mates awaited me.

   ~Talon's POV~
I stood beside Jay as we both awaited our bride, I couldn't help being restless as I just couldn't calm myself down.

My head snapped up as the doors were pulled open and Ana walked in with her mom by her side, my jaws dropped open in shock at the sight of her, after a while of speechlessly staring at her even as she approached, I could feel my eyes tearing up and I had to look away even as tears began to fall, tears that expressed my uncontrollable Joy.

Jay placed a comforting hand on my shoulder, giving me a knowing smile even as she came to a halt before us.

I kept my head down, hiding my tears even as I heard my father's voice.

"Why do you shed tears my son?" My father asked from the front row and my eyes flickered up to hers before I looked away again.

"She's just... she's just so perfect...so beautiful... I can't believe she's ours." I choked out and Jay hummed his agreement, she reached up a gloved hand with a beautiful smile on her face and wiped the tears off my face whilst mouthing two words that calmed my heart.

"I'm yours."she whispered to us both and I smiled, silently expressing my gratitude to every being that had seen it fitting to bless us with such a woman, reaching out, we each took one of her hands and helped her up the last set of stairs, even as Jay's father who was officiating the wedding according to supernatural customs began speaking, my attention was completely focused on my mates so I didn't hear most of what he said, till Jay was asked to say his vows to me.

Jay stared into my eyes for a while before he began speaking.

"You are a Lord just as I am, a king just as I am, you bow to no one same as I, and the utterance of your name signifys great power just as mine.
This applys to all but to me from you and you from me.
I am king but I shall willingly serve you in anyway that you require, I am Lord but I shall honor and respect you above all else.
I pledge to you that yours will be the name I cry aloud in the night and the eyes into which I smile in the morning.
I pledge to you my living and dying, each equally in your care.
My loyalty, love and protection shall always be yours and your people shall forever remain under my protection, I shall never disrespect you or your authority and will always seek your counsel and advice on all matters.
Above and beyond this I will cherish and honor you through this life and into the next.
This is my mating vow to you Talon Raine moon.
A pledge to an equal." Jay said tilting his head down slightly to me in respect and silent promise, my wolf hummed in approval and acceptance of his promise, even as my heart fluttered with  love for this man who had always forgiven me,  no matter how many times I hurt him, he smiled and turned to face Ana.

"On this day, I promise that from this moment forward even as I have from the moment we met, I give you all my love, you shall never walk alone for I will not walk before you to lead you, neither will I walk behind to follow but you shall always find me right at your side, guiding, loving, protecting, because you complete me in ways I never knew possible, because of you I can feel myself slowly but surely becoming the me I have always dreamed of being, you have helped me triumph over challenges presented, you encourage my personal growth and boost my self esteem, you have helped me become the person I am today and with your help, I will be a better person tomorrow than I was yesterday.
I have no greater gift to give, as your love is my anchor and your trust is my strength, may my heart forever be your shelter and my arms your home, I give you all that I am and all that I shall become....Ariana Ebere, my Leo Reginae, my African queen, I offer you my life." Jay said, repeating the bow he had given me, tears flowed out of Ana's eyes as she stared stunned speechless at him, the crowd were also stunned by his heart felt vows to us both but we paid them no attention, between the three of us, we were all each of us could see.

It was my turn to say my vows and my gaze met a smiling Jay.

   ~Unknown POV~
I watched from a distance as Alpha Talon said his vows to the Rex Leonum and their mate, the beautiful lady in white, my gaze was fixed on her, and as she began saying her vows, tears of joy pouring out her eyes, I felt my heart ache for her, my heart ached because I wasn't so sure how long her happiness would last, as much as it hurt me to see her smiling and happy with someone else, her happiness was all that mattered, but now, I wasn't so sure of that anymore.

"A storm is coming Leo Reginae, prepare yourself for I fear you might not be able to withstand it's ferocity." I whispered softly, her gaze lifted up to my direction for a split second as if she had somehow heard my warning before she shifted her gaze back to her mates, with a final look at them, I took off into the woods, with one last thought in my mind,
'A new power has just arisen, a power in the person of the new Luna and Leo Reginae, the supernatural world has felt her presence, to some, her presence brings good tidings, but to others......"

  ~Ariana's POV~
I woke up the next morning, completely mated and proudly bearing their marks, my mates stared at me with so much love in their eyes even as I took in my improved reflection in the mirror, I liked what I saw.

"Come back to bed baby..." Jay whined and I chuckled evilly.

"Perhaps I'll consider it, if you ask nicely..." I trailed off and Jay laughed but gave in easily.

"Please..." He asked and I grinned before slowly walking back to the bed, as I reached the edge of the bed, I threw one last secretive look over my shoulder and whispered....

  ~Third person's POV~
As our dearest female lead walked to the bed, to indulge her mates in one more bout of passion...or more, she threw a look over her shoulder and whispered two words, and if the readers had heard her words, they would know just like I did that our tale had come to an end, because the two words so secretively whispered by our dearest female lead amusingly read,
"Mission Accomplished"
But there is one question on my mind, as I am sure there is on yours
  "Is the tale truly over?"
