The White Wolf

Chapter Ten

~Payton~

I wake up, get up and shower. My usual routine. As I’m stood in the walk-in wardrobe, wondering what to wear, Steph and her sisters knock to come in.

“Hey. I’m just getting ready to come to breakfast”

“Oh no, you aren’t. They will bring us breakfast up here once it is ready, we are getting you ready for your wedding” Steph beams.

“But I’m hungry now” I whine.

“Shh, your whining now, we have a wedding to get you ready for and they are sorting downstairs” she pauses looking at what to prepare first. “Also, no mind-linking Jamie to check in on what’s happening down there” she looks at me. I was just about to do that. Once the food was ready Claire brought it up, apologised for it being so long, but the boys were demanding as Jamie hadn’t let them off their training and then they would need to set up the wedding they were hungry. After we’ve eaten the girls start doing my hair and makeup. They curled my hair and put it half up with braids and bobby pins when braiding my hair, they braided flowers, to represent the earth, blue beads for water, red beads for fire and yellow for air. My makeup was kept natural. I had a pink lipstick and eyeshadow. Zoey painted my nails in a light pink too. All in all, it took like 3 hours to get just this far. The girls all gossiped about the trip they had taken to find their mates, all the fun they had at other packs. They never mentioned the Shadow pack or questioned me about my past.

‘Jamie, you there?’ I mind link him.

‘Here, what’s up?’ I can hear the agitated tone to his voice.

‘just feeling lonely, I don’t even know these people, and here they are getting me dressed and ready for my wedding.’

His voice softens as he talks, ‘I know what you mean, but it will work out all ok in the end, the Goddess even said so’.

‘I know’ I feel resigned.

‘Payton, they’ve created the wedding you always wanted. They are good people. Jake says I need to stop talking to you before I give anything away.’

‘Tell Jake to mind his own business, and if I want to talk to my best friend I will, and he can fight on me on that!’

‘Yeah, I ain’t telling him that! I would have to fight him, and I’ve already spent the morning training his warriors’.

I send him happy feelings before closing the link.

“I need to loo”, I say as I stand up.

“While you’re in there put these on,” Steph says before handing me the underwear we choose to go under my dress. I go to the loo and put the underwear on link instructed. It’s a fitted bodice, the bra section lifting me, the rest smoothing me out, I put the thong on. I stand there looking in the mirror for a few minutes. I barely recognise myself. I’ve put on a healthy amount of weight since I’ve been here, being on the run meant not eating masses, and then literally running for hours on end. I’d lost a lot of weight leaving. I could hear Clarissa come in and talk to the girls, who had also gotten ready in with me. They were putting on their dresses as I left to go to the loo. Thankfully Steph had given me a silk dress gown to put on over my underwear.

“You all look beautiful, but where’s Elizabeth, she should be here.” I smile at them,

“I’m here, sorry I’m late. I was sorting some pack business for Jake.” Her hair was down and super long, it had a nice wave to it, she had natural-looking makeup on and had the dress and shoes in her hands. Steph’s helps her into the dress and puts her shoes next to everyone else’s.

Samantha helped me put my shoes on, which had a slight heal. She helps me get my balance and makes me walk in them for a few paces up and down the room. I used that time to walk by the window and double doors, which I could see the clearing full of people busying around. Once she was happy with the fact I could walk ok, they pull the dress out of the box and put it in the floor. I step into the middle and they pull the dress up. Steph stands at the back and laces’ it up. Elizabeth is crying and dabbing her eyes. The others admire their handy work. Jamie comes in and tells us its time. The girls and Clarissa hurry out the door and down the stairs. Jamie takes my arm and starts walking me out of the room and down the stairs.

“You look beautiful Payton, I’m so happy you’ve found him”. Jamie smiles at me as we take the stairs. Slowly, so very slowly. Why didn’t the girls check that I could walk the stairs in these shoes?

“Me too,” I smile back.

We make our way out of the back door and towards the clearing. I can hear the bustle of everyone in attendance. They suddenly go quite as music starts and I see the girls leave the garden gate one by one.

“Ready Payton” I nod,

Jamie takes my arm and walks me down the aisle. We had always agreed that he would walk me down the aisle.

Jake was stood at the other end of the aisle. Looking so handsome in this black tux. Made my heart skip a beat. Jamie's hand tightened on mine. Jake was standing underneath an arch of flowers; all the flowers matched or complimented the bridesmaid. Everyone was here. I could feel Jake’s happiness coming through the bond his eyes shinning like they want to shed tears. Everyone was wearing complementing colours to the bridesmaid’s meaning that they were accepting of this union. I caught a glimpse of Jake’s ex, Tash. She was wearing white. I mentally rolled my eyes, maybe I should have let Jamie harm her. Just a little. Due to Jake taking part in this wedding, Wyatt was to officiate. As I reach Jake, Jamie gives my hand to Jake. Wyatt starts talking.

“This is a special union. One of an Alpha, and his Luna. The Goddess blessed these too, to fall in love and have a lifetime of happiness together. Here we bare witness to Payton and Jakes wedding, to their love for each other and their pack”. Petals start falling from the sky. The goddess must want us to get married, everyone looks at each other puzzled. “Against all odds, these two wolves found each other. They will love and protect the other for now and forever.”

“I do”, both Jake and I say together.

Jamie lends in and gives us the rings, which we put on each other’s hand, to signify that we are now married.

“You are now forever as one, to be two halves fighting in a united cause, to lead this pack as one. Separately you are strong. Together, you are stronger. You may now kiss your wife”

With that, Jake kisses me a passionate kiss. One that takes me breath away and then we walk down the aisle hand in hand we walk back to the house while everyone else sets up the marquees and rearranges the chairs.

“I can’t believe the goddess did that,” I say to Jake.

“I know. You look so beautiful.” He lends down and kisses me. After 5 minutes or so, we go outside again and there set up was the marquees with tables underneath. Set up with a dance floor in the middle, the tables going around the outside of the dance floor. I and Jake are seated and everyone before they take their seats, they come and congratulate us. We have the most perfect sit-down meal. Everyone was in attendance, so they must have had outside caterers, no way Claire could have cooked all this food served it all and still be in attendance. After the meal, they do speeches, Jake goes first, thanking everyone for attending and blessing us on our special day, then Wyatt does and then Jamie, who played the part of my dad for the day. We then do the first dance and cake cutting before shifting into our wolves and leading the pack in a midnight walk around the forest. Our first meeting of wolves as a married couple. Everyone, except Tash, came up and introduced themselves. Allowing me to familiarise myself with their scent and get to know their markings. After the run, Jake and I head up to his room. All my stuff had been transferred into his room; put in the exact place I had left it in my room. His room set up exactly like mine. I could still hear the party carrying on in the background, Jake helping me out of my dress, and folding it and placing it in the box on a chair in the corner, he stands taking in me in my wedding underwear. He smiles and crosses the room. As he crosses the room, his suit. To be standing before me in his underwear. How happy he is clearly showing. He undresses me, kissing me the whole time, then he takes his boxers off. Jake’s hand run down my back and then at the back of my legs, lifting me and placing me on the bed. Using his hands, he props himself up. He never stops kissing me. When I’m ready he gently enters me, just as we are both to finish, moves me hair revealing my collarbone, and bites down. I bite him, and our mating link is completed. There is an intense amount of pain followed by pleasure as both of our climax. Now everyone supernatural will know we are mated. We cuddle up, relaxing into the touching of our skin. He is my home. We both drift off into a peaceful sleep.
