The Crown and his Queen

Chapter 16 - Going To The Stairs and Where Going To Get Vowed

The helper unzips the bag and pulls the dress out. Maylyn can’t help but smile, not only is the dress beautiful dress. It has so much meaning. Not only is she vowing herself to the man she loves but to the Kingdom and to the pack. She is taking steps into her future and she will have Gavin, Trent and Tabitha by her side.

Tabitha smiles at her, “Ready May?”

Looking at her, “So very ready Tab.”

The help detaches the outer shell of the dress and lays that on the bed. The corset back of the dress is unlaced, and she steps into the dress. Pulling the spaghetti straps over her shoulders, while she feels the back begin to get stitched and pulled tight. She grunts, Tabitha comes around the front and reposition her breast for her. “Ugh girl! I could have done that!”

“I know.” Tabitha so made of fact, “But I need you to be still and just breathe while this gets done.”

Finally, the lacing is complete. Her breasts, round globes popping from the top of the corset top. The help comes to the front and removes the spaghetti straps from the dress. The white dress hangs off her hips, flows to the ground covering her feet, with a slit mid-thigh on her right leg. Looking at herself in the mirror, “I love it!”

Tabitha smiles, “I like it too! Where is the shell, it’s almost time!”

Putting her arms into a lacy shell that latches at her waist into two Sakura flower petals. The shell runs the length of the dress with inch straps of material over her shoulders. Looking down at the open toed white 5’ ankle strap heels; lifting one foot and stepping into them one at a time. Feeling the shoes buckled in and looking at the full picture in the mirror.

“Maylyn, you look amazing! That kid doesn’t even know what he’s getting himself into.”

Looking at Tabitha, “I hope you’re right!”

Hearing a knock on the door and Trent walks in. He smiles at Tabitha and walks to her side, “You look radiant.” She smiles and wraps her arms around his waist.

Trent turns his eyes to Maylyn, “Wow May. Gavin is going to blown away.”

She looks down at herself, “Really? You think so Trent?”

His eyes are for Tabitha. He glances at her again, “Yeah, he’s going to be really happy.”

“Thank you.”

His eyes back to Tabitha, “Come its time for us to take our seats. Casper is already waiting.”

Tabitha looks at her, “Okay May, I’ll see you on the runway.”

Giggling, “Bye guys! Wish me luck!”

Alone in the room with the help. One of the ladies says, “You look beautiful my Queen.”

“Thank you.”

“We must leave to get into position. The ceremony has started.”

“Okay, thank you.”

The ceremony is outside. Maylyn walks from the inside of the castle on a white covered path, that is covered to hide her appearance. She arrives at the end of the line. “What’s does it look like outside?” She asks one of the helpers.

The man smiles, “The weather is warm, the sun is shining, and the temperature is about 75 degrees. Chairs are set up with guest you will pass on this same white paved path. You will be able to see the King once you step out of the shelter.”

Biting her bottom lip, “Is there a lot of people? Where is Tabitha and Trent sitting?”

“They are at the front. Once you step out, everyone will stand as you make your way to his highness.”

“Thank you for your help sir.”

“It’s time, my lady.”

Maylyn takes a deep breath as the flaps covering her exit are pulled away. Taking a deep breath, her heart beating loudly in her ears. Standing up straight, balling her hands to gather courage before exhaling, and letting her hands fall open. Taking one steps out of the shelter and hearing gasps.

Seeing Gavin stunned expression before breaking into a smile. Smiling at him, biting her bottom lip, and walking step by step, her eyes only for him. Hearing complaints and praise as she walks by the guests. But nothing can stop her from getting to the only person that matters, Gavin.

Arriving at the end of the path, there are four large rounded stairs that run the length of the stage. Gavin holds his hand out to her; she takes his hand and they walk up the stairs together. Standing in front of the previous King, he winks at her and nods to his son.

Speak to the crowd, “Today we crown a new Queen. My son the King has found his mate, Luna and Queen. The Kingdom is now complete.”

The previous King looks at her, “Maylyn O’Connor, you will now take your vows. Please say yes if you agree.”

Looking at Gavin with a smile before her eyes back to the previous King, “Yes.”

“Maylyn, your first vow will be to your mate, King and Alpha. Do you vow to be loving and faithful? Not compromising in your beliefs, but always willing to stand up for what is right. Being all things to your mate, as he will be all things to you. Thinking of him before yourself and allowing him to think of you before himself. To be faithful in sickness and health. Leaving only death to part your love for each other and forsaking all others.”

“Yes, I vow on my life.” The words flowed like silky soft water.

“Your next vow will be to the Kingdom.” The previous King advises.

“Yes.” Gavin still holding her hand. All the wonderful feelings getting stronger as she pledges her love and life to him.

“Do you vow to be the Luna to the Kingdom. Doing what is best for the Kingdom at all times. Taking care of all business in the name of the King. Understanding when the King ends the Queen beings.”

“Yes, I vow on my life.” Knowing the vows are almost over. She is ready to be in Gavin’s arms.

“The last vow will be to your pack.”

“Yes.”

“Do you vow to protect your new pack. Doing all in your power to increase the pack and make it thrive. Always discussing with your King your decision and the issues of the pack. Allowing the King to lead the pack and you as his helper.”

“Yes.”

Gavin smiles at her, holding her hand tighter and they turn to face the guest.

The previous King address the guest again. “You have all witness the vows made here today. Please rise and join in cheering for the King and his Queen. May their days be blessed with love, harmony, and an heir.”

The crowd begins to cheer.

Maylyn smiles at Gavin as he mouths, “You look so beautiful!”

She bows her head to him. Looking out to see Trent, Tabitha, and Casper cheering and clapping for them.

Gavin puts a hand on her face, she turns to him and he kisses her cheek. Whispering in her ear, “You’re finally all mine.”

She giggles.

Finally, the end of the day has arrived. Maylyn is ready to yawn and pass out. She's greeted people, met people, hugged people, danced with people, and all she really wants to do, is be alone with Gavin and maybe eat.

Having already walked Casper back to the pack house and putting him into bed. She stands next to Trent and Tabitha, who dance slowly while talking to her. Maylyn looks at Trent and Tabitha looking into each other’s eyes lovingly, until it happens.

“So, this is why you left me Trent? New flavor?”

Maylyn, Trent and Tabitha look to who is talking.
