Chapter 113
DAMON
The venue was huge and there were so many guests out here. Guards lined the grounds and although there were more guests who would be coming after the vows, there were still many people here. We had all taken our seats and Alejandro had taken his place on the small stage. Surprisingly, he didn't have a best man on stage.
We were werewolves, we didn't really follow traditional weddings anyway. I looked at my gorgeous girl dressed in a sexy black dress that accentuated her curves to perfection as she sat, one leg crossed over the other, and I couldn't stop gazing at her breasts or lush thick thighs. Are you just going to stare at me, or pay attention to the ceremony?" She asked through the link, now glancing at me. Stare at you. I replied, "That's not even up for debate. I kissed her deep red lips.
She kissed me back, shaking her head" Seriously babe, focus. "I will focus but on what's most important to me. Her. I wrapped my arm around her, kissing her forehead. I have never been happier. She leaned against me as the musicians began to play, and we all turned to see Dante, in a tux, carrying the cushion bearing the rings as he walked down the aisle at a rather brisk pace. Robyn laced her fingers with mine, her heart skipping a beat as our eyes met.
I pecked her lips as we turned to see our own little princess walk down the aisle, her large blue eyes wandering around, and I almost chuckled. Azura really did love to take things at her own pace. Goddess kids were damn cute. She seemed to pause, getting distracted by something before Aunty Red called her." Baby... sprinkle the petals." She whispered. "Oh, yes Mama!" Azura replied, making some of the guests chuckle.
She began to sprinkle the petals, walking along, stumbling a little on the hem of her princess dress and paused, I realised her shoe had fallen off.
"Oh no." She said confused, glancing at her shoe and then ahead at the stage, I knew she had been told to keep going forward. I watched as Alejandro's nephew, Leo, got up from his seat, as it was on the edge of the row not far from where Azura was standing and grabbed her little heeled boot.
Holding it out to her, she blinked and lifted her dress, sticking her foot out and making me smile. Cute. Damn, I need a picture of this. Aunty Red was about to get up, but when Leo knelt down, she smiled and sat down again. He was frowning as he put the shoe on for Azura, glancing around and glaring at all of us who were watching. Damn, the kid had the Rossi fire in him. He needed a mate to tame that anger... "What's your name?
"Azura asked him, seemingly not bothered that she was being videoed right now or that we were in the middle of a wedding concession. Ever the curious little princess." Leo." He replied moodily, as he stood up." Thank you, Weo." She replied cutely before turning and walking to the front, forgetting to scatter the rest of the petals in her basket. Well, she did good enough and the carpet was made of flowers anyway... " That was so cute
"Robyn whispered, smiling softly." Yeah, and that move coming from a Rossi. "I said, feeling several eyes turn to me, including Rayhan's, Alejandro's and Leo's. Damn werewolf hearing. I guess only a Westwood princess could make Rossi's do stuff like that. I smiled in amusement just as Raven came down the aisle, taking her place on the stage. Then i It was time for the bride herself to enter. We all turned as Kiara stepped out. She looked stunning in her gown, her eyes fixed on her king ahead....
No matter how many times we did something like this, it was still hard giving your daughter away ... It wasn't the only role of mine in this wedding either. I looked at Kiara, thinking she had come so far from the little girl I used to worry so much over. I walked her down the aisle but there was no regret or worry in me.
The man who awaited her, the one who made her heart race and looked at her as if she was the most precious thing in the world, was the one man I could trust her with. The king, yet before that, he was hers. Her hand may be on my arm, but her eyes were locked with her mates. Life had been hard, but the light had returned, and talking about it all had helped. Liam may have pushed me, but it had worked. I was able to enjoy life and cherish what I still had here ...
We reached the small stage and I placed Kiara's hand in Alejandro's, their eyes on each other's and unseeing of anything else. The intensity of their love for one another was clear as day. I smiled slightly, stepping onto the stage and taking the place of the best man. A position that Alejandro had asked me to take months ago...
(FLASHBACK)" I had something I
wanted to ask you." Alejandro said, taking a drag on his cigarette. "Not like you to ask. Don't you usually state what you want?" I replied, cocking a brow." Yeah, well we all know you don't fucking listen to shit Yeah, I don't. "I smirked
arrogantly. He gave me a cold glare before frowning. "I want you to be my best man at the "wedding." What? I looked at him in shock, but he was dead serious, his eyes shadowed." You were Raf's closest friend.... and probably the next person in line who understands me
the most...
The pain of Rafael's loss would always remain, and at that moment we both felt it. I could see it in his eyes and I knew mine were probably similar. I looked at him and nodded. We may never ever fucking admit it because we were both too proud, but we were both there for the other if the need ever arose.
I smirked despite the emotions that
consumed me." So, guess you're bowing down and accepting that you appreciate me. "I mocked cockily. "Na, what I appreciate is you making Kiara. She's fucking fine ." He smirked arrogantly as I frowned. Dickhead. "But yeah, admitting it or not, I've kinda lost my best man ... So I need a fucking replacement. "Our eyes met, and no matter how cold or uncaring his voice sounded; I knew he was still hurting from Rafael's death...
(END OF FLASHBACK)
I hadn't told anyone but Scarlett about this and the surprise from many was to be expected, but the vibrant smile on Kiara's face made. me give her a small smile. " Dad She said, looking at Alejandro, her eyes filled with tears. "Don't cry or some fuckers may think I'm forcing you to do this shit." Alejandro murmured, making her laugh weakly before he kissed her. " Alpha ... You kiss the bride after the vows. "Allen, one of the elder Alpha's on the council, said.
"Are you fucking telling me I can't kiss my woman?" "Ah, not at all, your highness... "Allen waved his hand. "Good, so get a fucking move on... How the fuck am I supposed to not kiss her when she looks this fucking good?"" Of course!" Allen replied. "I have no idea who came up with this shit that we wait until the vows are done before a couple can kiss ...
I smirked as I heard Alejandro mutter that last line. Kiara smiled as Alejandro kissed her hands as they exchanged their vows and rings. "I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss- " Alejandro was already kissing Kiara, bending her backwards. I frowned, glancing at Azura, who was staring wide eyed until Raven covered her eyes.
I have a feeling she was going to be a handful. A surge of petals rained down upon us and everyone cheered. I glanced around, looking at all the familiar faces in the crowds. Kiara's kids... Liam and Raven, Azura, Damon ... My eyes finally falling to my own mate, looking like the goddess she was as she sat there, standing out from the crowd. My damn queen ... Our eyes met, and she gave me that sexy teasing smirk of hers. Yes, there was still so much to live for.
KIARA " So how does it feel being Mrs Rossi ? " Alejandro asked me. "I like the sound of that." I replied, my gaze dipping to his sexy lips before I kissed him once more, his arm still around me as he motioned to Darien to bring the girls over. Dante ran over wrapping his arms around my waist. "Mama, you look amazing!"
He said, I knelt down pulling him into my arms, feeling so happy." So do you, my love. "I kissed his forehead, before standing up as Darien passed the girls to Alejandro, I kissed them both, my little angels, Skyla was trying to tug Alejandro's earring whilst Kataleya simply rested her head on his shoulder. My eyes met Alejandro's and I smiled warmly. My family, my loved ones and my mate were right here, and I felt happy.
"Come on guys lets get some pictures ! " Raven called. I smiled nodding, I would make the most o of the day with them all because come tonight we would leave for our honeymoon, just him and I and something told me it was going to be one that I was never going to forget....
