He turns to me panicked, pulling me into his chest whimpering into my neck, I would stand by his side Nomatter what happened but I can’t ever see myself standing by his side if she is there too.
“Mate your my mate you are my mate, I smell you I can feel the sparks you are mine and only mine and I’m yours and only yours”
He starts to chant as my heart ruptures and my emotions come to the surface, bubbling up and threatening to make me cry, I push them back. I won’t look weak in front of the pack or HER. This can’t really be happening, so I pull back and pull his face to mine.
“I am yours and you are mine. What do you want to do?”
His face hardens and he turns and stomps down the steps towards her. I just stand there unsure of what to do or where to look but I watch as she practically runs to him. She tries to hug him but he jumps out of the way
“Stay back, don’t f*****g touch me”
Her eyes widen and her face falls. She looks towards me and growls he growls louder
“Don’t you dare growl at MY MATE or YOUR LUNA!”
“She’s not your mate I am”
“No your f*****g not. I can smell her, I feel the tingles. She is my mate. If you really were my mate you would be hers too”
She growls again and makes a run for me. He growls louder catching her by the hair and ripping her back and he stands between us
“Don’t you f*****g touch her you hurt her enough”
“Your MY MATE!”
She screams at him lucy steps forward her teeth bared back
“Lies, I can feel it your lying”
Lucy grabs her hand and a feral ferocious growl leaves her lips and she drops her hand
“Witch! I can’t read you, you have a magic block up! you aren’t his mate are you?”
Mark growls again shaking his head, he turns to me and holds out his hands. I go to his side and he takes my hand in his and his body starts to relax.
“Yess he is”
She says through gritted teeth, lilly, Sophie, nana Keagen, maddie all step out
“She’s lying I can tell, take her to the cell until the magic runs out then we will see the truth”
Lilly’s teeth were gritted as she talked
“She’s definitely lying and she’s not his mate, their aura is different. Their aura is the same, they are one you are dark, black, evil”
Keagen spits the words at her like she hates her
“I mark Maddox moon reject you Aine Campbell as my mate”
Mark roars out silencing everyone, she falls forward clutching her chest
“No no please”
“Accept it or die at my hand right now. Don’t f*****g touch her until she accepts it”
Her head shoots up and she stands straighter
“You would choose her over your real mate! Her the outcast that no one likes. The one no one will accept! Would you rather her than me?”
Mark throws his head back and laugh
“You're delusional, I would choose her every time. I’d choose her over everyone. I’d choose her over this pack, I’d go to the ends of the earth for her. She is MINE and I am HERS. Accept the rejection or I will kill you”
“No f**k you, you wouldn’t do it”
He snorts and let’s go of my hand and takes a step towards her. His aura is large. Maddox and him merge into one and the power emanating off him is crazy. He wasn’t even alpha yet and I bet he could put an alpha on his ass
“3”
She shakes her head and takes a step back but the warriors stop her from moving
“2”
He takes another step forwards
“Accept it Aine its not worth your life”
Her mother screams at her
“No I won’t mum. Let him kill me”
He shakes his head
“Wrong f*****g answer. 1”
He grabs for her but before he gets to her she jumps into his arms and kisses him. A pain rips through my chest and I scream falling to my knees. He growls pushing her off and he looks to me coming to my side. He drops beside me and that was all the proof I needed
“She’s not your mate or that wouldn’t have hurt. She is lying so kill her”
I say through clenched teeth, he nods standing up and walking over to her
“You f*****g liar! That’s all the proof we need right their and for your crimes and for hurting my Luna you will die”
He walks over to her and he breaks her neck dropping her to the ground. The woman screams bloody murder crying her heart out and fighting her way to her daughter
“f**k you alpha! f**k you! I Emily Campbell reject you as my alpha and I reject this pack and all who live in it and I declare myself as rogue. I’ll be off your land within the hour”
She growls, grabbing her daughter's body and dragging her away. Mark turns to the crowd
“Considering this day has already been ruined, I think it’s time you all go home. If anyone else wants to join the rogues now's the time to speak up. I’m sick and tired of your future Luna being treated like trash and if it happens again, if you so much as sneer at her I’ll kill you now get out and I’ll see you at the next full moon for our ceremony”
I frown and look at Noah and Sophie who look just as puzzled as I am, Noah shrugs smiling at me obviously happy he gets to retire a few months earlier. Everyone clears out and my stomach rumbles loudly making me go bright red mark laughs turning around and pulling me towards him and engulfing me in a bear hug
“I love you and your untimely stomach so much”
I pull back and smile
“So the next full moon huh?”
He shrugs
“Yes, I've had enough of this s**t, they will be under our rule and they won’t get away with this s**t again. Not when I’m alpha”
He pulls my face up and kisses me then pulls back and bites his lip
“Are you ok with that? I probably should have asked you first”
I snort and wave it off
“I’m good, at least I don’t need to see her damn face again. That was low even for her”
I whisper, he shakes his head
“I knew it wasn’t real, she smelled funny and the sparks weren’t sparks they were more like pinpricks and the pull was ugly, it almost made me feel sick. Nothing like a real bond. Nothing like ours”
He kisses me again and moans against my lips as the real
Sparks light up my face and make me smile. We pull back and grab some food, mark never let’s go of my hand and he holds me on his knee the entire time, like he was afraid I would run away.
“Let’s get married and go on our honeymoon. Then come back and have the ceremony. 3 weeks of a honeymoon sounds good”
I look at him and feel through the bond. He was serious? I looked down and I was wearing a blue summer dress that matched my eyes, I had on a pair of converse and my makeup was minimal. I looked like me, I wasn’t over the top or in a big fancy gown. I look around and all that’s left in the yard is family. f**k it.
“Let’s do it”
I say back his face breaks into an enormous grin and he looks at Baylee
“Baylee can you do something for me because it’s my birthday and I’m obviously your favourite”
I chuckle and shake my head as Baylee raises her eyebrow in the air
“Mmmm and what would this something be?”
“Marry us right now”
Sophie spits her juice out of her mouth landing all over her food
“Aw gwosss aunt Sopheee you wuind my bugaaa”
Carly huffs crossing her arms across her chest
“Sorry dear I’ll get you another, are you serious son, right now?”
“Yes if I learned anything over the last few hours it’s to keep the good things in your life close before some other crazy bastard tries to steal your happiness”
I snort and laugh, jaxon raises his fist
“Wisest thing i've ever heard you say”
They fist bump first then he fist bumps Scott and Ofcourse Carter had to get in there too
“Can I be the bested man I think I should be”
He says proudly, mark catches his chest grinning
“It would be an honour to have you as my bested man Carter”
“Yeayyyyy”
He puts his hands in the air cheering
“Me too!”
Luke sings out
“And me!”
Desmond screams at the back where he’s sitting on deacon’s knee.
“I want to be flowa gurl”
Carly says with a full mouth of food
“Of Course you are I wouldn't have it any other way”
I wink at her she gives me a big toothy grin
“Don’t fuckin forget me”
Penny shouts from a table behind us
“Penny stop cursing you little s**t”
Jake scolds her making us all laugh
“Ok why don’t the girls go pick some flowers and we can start?”
Sophie stands holding out her hand Carly hands lucy her burger
“Savd that foo me. It’s too good to waist”
I snort and laugh banging the table that kid makes my day every time she opens her mouth.
“Of Course I wouldn’t dare waist it”
Lucy says with a smile, satisfied with her answer she climbs off her knee
“Cawtaaar come to”
“I’m a boy I can’t pick flowaas cawly”
She growls stomping her foot
“Cawtaaar now!! you my mate! so I pick, you hold”
The entire table watches as Carter rolls his eyes and climbs of Scott’s knee and goes to Carly's side. She smiles triumphantly and takes his hand. They walk off together and we all laugh. Damn they are the light of the world.
Alli
I can’t wait to have an entire litter
Me
Me too.
Alli
We should start tonight
Me
You think? I wouldn’t mind that
Alli
Let’s do it then
I smile and grin up at mark he eyes me suspiciously
“What are you up to?”
“Nothing, you ready to have a wife?”
He snorts
“Like you didn’t have me whipped from the second I laid eyes on you”
I giggle and kiss him getting up and looking at jaxon and Scott
“Will you both walk me down the aisle?”
Scott grins and jaxons chin wobbles
“Of Course we will kid won’t we man”
Scott elebows Jaxon who looks at me like a father looks at his daughter. The same way he looks at Carly
“For sure, let’s get you ready”
I frown at jaxon and look down at myself
“I am ready”
Scott snorts
“Hell no! you're not wearing that on your wedding day. Come on we will find something better”
I groan as they both get up and pull me away, Lucy smirks and follows us
“Oh stop these photos will be for forever so you need to look good”
“Well thanks, I thought I did look good, thank you very much”
I act offended and they all roll their eyes
“You always look good but you should look amazing on your wedding day”
We go up to my apartment and I use my hand to scan us in
“So basically if you both heaven forbid die, we will need to cut your hands off to get into this place?”
Jaxon frowns following us in, I close the door and walk towards our room
“No, if that happens only certain people can get in. Like you 3, all you gotta do is put in your birthdays and it will recognise the date and let you in but it will only work for you 3, Sophie and noah and maddie”
“Cool, we should get one”
Scott looks to Jax he rolls his eyes
“Oh please like they would ever get as far as the packhouse”
He answers him, Scott shrugs
“Still we should at least have a panic room”
“Maybe we will see, no promises”
We walk into my room and into my closet, jaxon grins
“Your housekeeper is amazing. Look how organised it is”
I frown and shake my head
“I don’t have one. They have one downstairs but I don’t trust anyone here, I do this all myself, I learned from the best after all. We also cook every meal together unless requested to do so otherwise”
All their heads snap to me, jaxons grin spreads across his face as Scott and Lucy have a private conversation. I cross my arms and look at them it’s so rude
“Just spit it out guys it’s only us here”
Scott sighs and shrugs looking to Lucy
“Why would you not trust a housekeeper?”
I smirk at them
“For good reason, aines mother was the cook downstairs. Can you imagine if they could have gotten in here. Nope this is mine and I don’t want anyone but family here”
They seem to accept that answer as Jaxon and Scott busy themselves looking through my wardrobe Lucy helps me curl my hair. I add a pop of nude pink on my lips and a tiny bit of pink eyeshadow in my crease and under my lashes to make my blue eyes pop. I add some mascara and put a little gel on my eyebrows, Add a little gloss and finish with a tiny bit of matching blusher.
“Beautiful”
Lucy smiles at me. I grin back at her as Scott comes out of the closest with a dress bag
“We have the perfect dress”
He opens it up and I smile, a gown that Sophie had made for the next annual pack ball. It was pretty perfect. I hop up and take it as the boys leave the room, I strip and pull it on and I let Lucy lace it up at the back
“You look amazing”
She stands back and says proudly clasping her hands together with tears in her eyes. I laugh and do a little twirl then stop
“What shoes?”
“Scott come pick shoes”
I laugh as he comes in with his eyes closed
“Is she decent?”
“Yes”
I roll my eyes and he opens his and gasps clutching his heart
“Our little girl is all grown up”
He jumps on the spot acting camper than iv ever seen before and I can’t help but laugh. He goes to the shoes and looks me up and down tapping his chin
“You know for 2 women you both have zero fashion sense, who put this wardrobe together for you? these will not work”
I think and then hop up and go to the back of my closet and pull a box down and hand it to him
“Baylee got me these for my birthday, she said they match my eyes”
He opens the box and his jaw drops and he looks at me
“You have these and you hide them in the back of your closet! What the hell am I going to do with you both? get them on your feet so we can get this show on the damn road!”
I chuckle and take them, I sit on the bed and pull them on then stand up and do a twirl as jaxon comes into the room he grabs his chest
“Ashley, you look amazing. Come on everyone is waiting for us”
He holds his arm out to me. I took one last look at myself in the mirror and they were right. I did look good. I actually looked amazing.
I wore a corseted calf length gown, the corset itself was baby blue matching the colour of my eyes, it had nude pink flowers attached to it with off the shoulder nude pink inch thick straps. A pink belt separated the top from the bottom. The bottom was fluffy blue tulle that came out wide but not too wide. The shoes were the same colour as the dress, a light blue stiletto 5 inch heel with a blue ankle strap and a bow at the back. I realised I forgot my jewellery so I turned and put it all on. I had my Lycan ring on, I never took it off and it made my outfit complete in my opinion. I grinned and took jaxons arm and we made our way outside. Scott took my other arm and Lucy walked in front of us with Penny and Carly. Sophie met us at the door
“You look perfect. Are you ready?”
“Hell yes!”
I exclaim back, she chuckles and presses play on the ipad and opens the doors then walks up the aisle. The girls go first throwing rose petals down on the ground, Lucy walks with them then they take the spot on my side. That’s the moment my eyes meet his, they light up and his face is a mix of awe and happiness, his face breaks out in a grin and he clasps his heart with both hands as he slowly looks me over. My eyes water and his chin shakes as we make it to the top of the asle
“You look unbelievable”
He grabs my face and pulls me in for a kiss, I melt into his touch. He growls pulling back and resting his head against mine and taking both my hands in his
“Mate is beautiful”
I smile at Maddox and he pulls me up beside him, the boys try to kiss my cheek but Maddox growls snapping at them both with his teeth
“Maddox be nice, they are basically my fathers”
He groans and let’s me go
“Fine”
I hug Jaxon and Scott who both look at Maddox like he’s a lunatic, they take a seat and I look back around to him. Maddox is still forward
“Maddox let mark in he needs to be here for our wedding”
