Wedding

ALPHA KAMILAH’S POV

Magnus started his vow. “Do you remember the very first day that we met? You were on patrol duty that time on your past pack and you even reported me thinking I was an attacker.” He chuckled as he held my hand. “Then you were rampaging in the blood moon night in your past pack. They wanted to kill you, but saved you that night, and I never regretted it .” Saying that he paused. He was looking at my eyes as he said that.

“Kamilah Zarili, my beautiful Kamilah, you have made me the happiest man in the world today by agreeing to share your life with me. I promise to cherish and respect you. I promise to care for you and protect you. I promise to comfort you and encourage you. I promise to be with you for all of eternity. I promise to love you for who you are, and for who you are yet to become. I promise to be patient and to remember that all things between us are rooted in love. I promise to nurture your dreams and to help you reach them. I promise to share my whole heart with you and to remember to show you how deeply I care for you, no matter the challenges that may come our way. I promise to love you loyally and fiercely—as long as I shall live.”

I smiled at that, feeling tears in my eyes. It was now my turn, I had prepared a copy of my vow in case I forgot but now, I feel like not wanting to read it. I cleared my throat, “I choose you and promise to choose you as my husband every day we wake. I will love you in word and deed. I will laugh with you, cry with you, scream with you, grow with you, and craft with you.” I paused, reliving the moments with him.

“To be your kin and your mate in all of life's adventures is all I could hope for in the world. Loving what I know of you and trusting what I don't yet know, I give you my hand. I give you my love. I give you myself, the good, the bad, and the yet to come. “

“You love me in and complete me in ways I never knew possible. From this day forth, I promise to listen to you and learn from you, to support you and accept your support. I will celebrate your successes and mourn your losses as though they were my own. I will love you, my husband, and rejoice in your love for me for all of the years of our lives.” Ending my vow, Magnus’s face was flooded with tears. Wiping it, he breathed in and out to calm himself down.

Zef, acting as our priest, went and cleared his throat, turning to Magnus. “Magnus, do you, take kamilahas your wife, to live together in holy matrimony, to love her, to honor her, to comfort her, and to keep her in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?”

Magnus stared at me, “I do.”

The priest nodded and now looked at me. “ kamilah, do you, take Magnus, as your husband, to live together in holy matrimony, to love him, to honor him, to comfort him, and to keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?”

I smiled at Magnus, “I do.”

The priest then said to Magnus, “Repeat after me.”

"I, Magnus, take you Kamilah, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part."

Dimitri, who was looking so adorable in his suit, was now holding the two boxes of rings in his hands.

He was looking red and flustered. He handed it to us before running away and I chuckled at him.

“You may place the ring on her hand and repeat this: "I give you this ring as a token and pledge of our constant faith and abiding love."

As he said that, Magnus gently held my hand and out the rings on my hand.

Zef then asked me to do as he told Magnus and I did.

"By virtue of the authority vested in me under the moon goddess, and to the Darkcrest pack and Bloodlust’s alliance as we witness their alpha’s bond, I now pronounce you husband and wife."

Putting the ring on Magnus’s hand, the priest then smiled at Magnus,

“You may now kiss the bride.”

Magnus grinned at that, sighing in relief, “Ugh, finally.”

Raising my wedding veil, Magnus drew a heavy breath before clashing his lips on mine. Everyone in the crowd cheered, and I could hear my pack laughing happily.

I closed my eyes, savoring the moment and when I knew we had been kissing for almost ten seconds, I took the initiative to break it.

Magnus seemed disappointed but I gave him a look. He winked at me, mouthing “I can’t wait for the honeymoon.”

I gasped at that, turning to him with wide eyes. He just pinched my nose, a smirk playing in his lips.

Shaking my head at him, I managed to see my mom with her camera in her hands documenting everything with happy tears in her eyes.

And as if he couldn’t wait anymore, Magnus then carried my bridal style as the place was now covered with flowers and bubbles, one of the gimmicks of the organizers.

The crowd continued cheering as Magnus opened his car and made me hop inside the passenger seat and him in the driver's seat. It felt like a scene from the movie, everything. And I watched everything unfold in front of me. It was like I was just one of the bridesmaids, now I’m the one getting married.

The feeling of nervousness was now gone with Magnus beside me.

Magnus glanced at me, “It felt like it has been a long time since I last saw you, ”

He nodded, “Yeah, but the wedding took longer than I thought. I don’t know why the humans like this when we can just dive instantly in honeymoon.” Then, as if thinking of something, his lips turned into a smile, “We should have been on our honeymoon by now.”

I shook my head, “Wait, Magnus, don’t. I know what you're thinking. Don’t even think about it.”

“What? I’m just smiling innocently.” He said, trying to defend himself.

“I’ve been waiting for this. Can’t you grant my request?” He pouted,

“Please? Babe?”

I bit my lip, sighing and giving in to his request. Oh well. What can I do?

Grinning at my response, he licked his lips and instantly grabbed my chin.

Really, Magnus being him. He can’t even wait to go to the reception!
