Ch. 386..390: The Werewolf's Vampire Mate Chapter 386-390
Chapter 386: Just say I do
Alanis
I see the lights first.
This is a night wedding.
The day is already gone and even though it is kinda weird to have a wedding at night. I am fucking excited. I can’t believe this is happening. No matter how many times I think this through. I am getting married to the love of my life.
It is still so surreal.
"This is the part where I walk you down the aisle,’’ Father tells me with a smile on his face. The expressions he has been carrying all through this while has been overwhelming. I am still at a state of shock at everything that is happening.
I nod. Wanting to start this and see Beau. I want to kiss him so badly right now.
"There is one note left,’’ Father tells me and I realize that we have run out of messages. I look at the sticky note in my hand and sure enough, Beau’s scribbly handwriting is on it. I take a deep breath as I read the last message.
So, all you have to do is say I do and I will be yours eternally. Don’t worry about anything else, just be my husband.
I don’t even know when the tears start to fall out. my heart is racing like crazy. I have never in a million years, imagined something like this happening to me. Beau is doing all the things that I always wanted. He is the perfect man and I don’t know what I did to deserve this. I don’t know why I got so lucky in the love department.
"Fuck," I put the last sticky note in my pocket and start to wipe at my face. Father chuckles with that smile still on his face.
"Pretty romantic huh?’’ he asks me.
I nod in agreement even though I am still a mess. I don’t want to be this teary-eyed bozo. I want to walk down the aisle with the biggest smile on my face. I know it is going to be hard but I will try my best. "I need to stop crying first,’’ I wipe more tears off my cheeks.
Father laughs "I think Beau wouldn’t mind seeing tears in your eyes right now." he reaches for my face "These are all tears of joy,’’ he smiles and the thudding in my chest intensifies.
I nod as he places his hands away from me "Okay, I am ready. I have wasted enough time already."
I look to the entrance. From where I am standing, I can’t see him. but the sound of the piano, the murmurs, everything is clear to me. I clean my palms on my pants because I am sweating nervously right now.
"Come on,’’ Father slings his arms around mine and leads me to my future. The future that I have hoped and prayed for all my life. The future that would have never happened if I didn’t meet Beau. He is the reason for my happiness. The reason for this pregnancy. He is the only reason why I am on this earth.
I exist because of him.
Without him, I wouldn’t exist.
The sun is fully set now and the moon comes into light. I look up at the sky, almost like a silent gratitude to the goddess. I know what my future would look like without beau, because of her. so, I want to use this opportunity to thank her. show her that I am grateful.
After a second of silence, we walk into the arbor that signifies the entrance and suddenly, we are inside the canopy. My heart races as I see people seated, everyone I know. Everyone that is important to me. the only person I have eyes for right now is Beau and he is beautiful in my eyes.
He is alone, waiting for me as I walk, hand in hand with my father. There is a smile on his face, tears are welling in his eyes. I knew he would cry. Beau acts tough but he is the most sensitive person I have ever met. He is macho on the outside but a cuddly puppy on the inside. He is dressed in a different suit from the one he had on earlier—I mean, I don’t blame him, I ruined that one. Everyone stands up as they notice me and I see Rex, blue, and Gyles on the second row. I didn’t think they would come, considering everything that is happening with Gyles. Gyles waves at me and I glare at him because he had to know about this when I complained to him. he raises his hands up in the air and I deviate my attention back to the one person that matters. We are walking slowly and all I want to do is run over to him. I want to take him in my arms and never let him go but I also don’t want to mess things up. I have already done enough damage to his plans.
The least I can do now is be patient. There are cherry blossom flowers everywhere. Cherry blossoms are my favorite flowers and very hard to get here. He did all this for me, even with the difficulties that came.
My heart warms even more.
It seems like the end of the aisle is a mile away but I finally reach him and my heart starts to race even faster. this is what I wanted. To have him in my arms. Now he is close enough to reach. Now I can touch him.
Father gives me one last smile and lets go of my arm; Beau reaches for me. with one stretch of his hand, he reaches for me and the butterflies erupt in my stomach. There is a warm smile on his face as he pulls me closer to him. it is almost like time stops like we are the only ones in this beautiful setting. All I see is him.
"Hi,’’ he breathes out.
"Hi.’’
Chapter 387: I do
Beau
Wow.
The man of my dreams is walking towards me.
I have been all nerves and fear all day. Like, I thought about all the worst-case scenarios. The one that kept going on repeat was him not showing up to this. him turning me down somehow. I didn’t know how this would turn out. it was a big risk. I basically did this whole shit on my own—with the help of bells. It was impromptu, spontaneous but I have never been more sure of anything in all my life. I knew what I wanted from Lanis, the moment he touched me and I felt it all.
I have always known that I would want to marry him. in the community, marriage doesn’t exist. I mean, the mating ceremony is basically our own form of marriage. Like, in the eyes of Alby and the rest of the members of the community, we are married. There is no need for this but I want to claim him in all ways that I can. I want him to be mine as a vampire, a werewolf, and a human. I want everyone to know that he is mine.
I shake my hands in the air a couple of times when I see him at the entrance of the canopy. I had it all planned in my head but I never imagined it to feel like this. I never in a million years thought this was symbolic.
Lanis gives me a smile from the distance, maybe his way of letting me know that he sees me.
My heartbeat is so loud that I am so sure the whole room can hear it. I have never been this nervous in my life. Even seeing him now and knowing that he is in this with me, I still have the shakes. The pianist plays the wedding song and I watch him walk to me. I know he cried. Seeing him, I know he shed tears for me and that just makes the tears fight to come out. I don’t want to break down here. Even if I cry right now, they would be tears of joy. I wait for him to get to me. the second I feel his hands on mine, my whole world feels complete. It is just a touch, I have touched him more than I can count, in different ways but this time feels different. There is something special about him coming to me. This is his way of him telling me that he is giving me all of him.
I will never forget this moment for the rest of my life.
There is a smile on his face as Alby coughs nervously. It took a lot of convincing to get Alby to do this. he doesn’t believe in weddings. No one in the community understands why I am doing this and that is why not everyone is here. It is small, only the most important people to me and Lanis are here. I know this is the way he would want it to. He wouldn’t want the crowd that will come with people that don’t matter.
It feels like an eternity as we stand face to face. I watch him like if I so much as blink, he would disappear. I want to capture this moment for the rest of my life. I never want to forget this surmount happiness that he has brought to my life.
"So, let’s begin,’’ Alby mutters with a faint smile on his face.
My eyes remain on Lanis as he sends me a mind link.
Is this real?
He questions, even though he is present in this situation. I have never seen Lanis so engrossed in anything, as he is right now.
Yes.
I answer him with a smile on my face. slowly, he reaches for my face and wipes a drop of tear from my cheek.
"Welcome family, friends, and loved ones. we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Beau Foxly and Alanis Dravon. I know this is not conventional for our kind. In fact, this is the first wedding we have had ever. I guess when it comes to Beau, we get to experience many firsts."
Everyone laughs at Alby’s attempt at a joke, my whole attention is fixed on Lanis. There is nothing else I want to look at but him. our hands are still joined together. this is the way it is going to be for the rest of our lives.
I don’t have any plans to let him go.
"We are all here to support this commitment and love and to share the joy of Alanis and Beau as they choose to spend their lives together."
I nod, even though there was no doubt in my mind. It was always going to be me and him.
"Beau and Alanis,’’ Alby calls our names. This makes me turn to him for the first time since Lanis walked in here. "Your marriage will be a lifelong promise—which in our case is very long. Your marriage will be a lifelong promise to love, respect, trust, and honor each other, through the good, bad, and the unexpected. This union represents your commitment to support one another as an individual being but share your joys, sorrows, and dreams as one. A strong bond works in unison not only to nurture your best parts of your personalities but to understand each other’s differences and flaws. You are committing to learn how to grow along one another while remembering to keep an open mind throughout your journey.’’
I face Lanis again. he is still smiling. His face is red. I know he is shy right now. I know this is a lot but my hands on his is the boost he needs to complete this.
I take a deep breath because we are almost at the point where I have to read out my vows to him. I am nervous as fuck. public speaking isn’t the easiest thing for me but I want to declare my love for him to the people that matter to me.
"This is the part where I tell you to join hands and face each other but I see you already beat me up to it,’’ he laughs and the audience joins in.
"Beau, do you take Alanis to be your husband and partner for as long as you shall live?" he asks me.
There is no hesitation in my mind and I blurt out "I do,’’ Lanis’s smile widens and a couple of drops of tears fall to his face.
"Alanis, do you take Beau to be your husband and partner for as long as you shall live?"
Lanis is not as quick as I was. The tears that I knew he would shed, pour out even more as he tries to form words. I let go of his hand for a couple of seconds as he tries to wipe away all the tears. My hand rests on his face and I hold it there for a couple of seconds.
All you have to do is say I do. I will handle the rest.
I send him a mind link, reminding him of the words in my last note to him because I knew this would be emotional for him. especially with the pregnancy and everything. he stops crying, and with soft sniffs breathes out the words that bring me back to life.
"I do."
Chapter 388: Finally married
Alanis
I am a mess right now. I guess I haven’t fully grasped everything that is happening. I just said I do to the love of my life and it hasn’t sunk in. I don’t want to overthink at this moment because I want to enjoy it. it will forever be engraved in my mind. I don’t want to lose any bit of the memory. I have been unable to look anywhere else but him. at first, I didn’t even know that Alby was the one officiating us.
After my I do. Beau’s expression changes. The tears that he has been trying to control start to pour out uncontrollably. I like seeing this vulnerable side of him. I love that I am the only one that can make him bawl his eyes out. this is what I want to see from him.
"You may say your vows now,’ Alby mutters calmy. My eyes are still on Beau. I don’t have anything planned. I don’t even know what to say to him. right now, I am an emotional mess. It looks like he has planned a whole speech.
Remember all I needed from you was the I do.
He sends me the mind link—probably able to read my mind at that moment. I guess I was at a stage of panic. He has done so much and I am scared and hella nervous. I just want to be better for him. I want to do more.
He seems to be the only one doing things for me.
I nod as he parts his lips. the next words that he says to me will forever resonate in my head for as long as I live. I will look at him and this day and the promise he just made will remind me of all the love we have for each other.
I can’t think, all I see is him. I see this man, that is so amazing, that I have no regrets. I said I wasn’t completely on board with the pregnancy. I mean, I still have a lot of resurfacing fears. Things that make me feel like this might be a bad idea. having babies, the whole process but today, holding his hands. Everything is fucking perfect. All the fears are gone. I am with him for this ride one hundred percent. Nothing is stopping me now.
Once he is done, I look away from him because the emotions he is swarming me with is too much. everyone turns to me. I know this is the part where I reciprocate my feelings into words, just as he has. I know, I don’t have to say a whole lot because he knows how I feel about him.
"Do you want to give this a go?’’ Alby asks me.
Today has just been a roller-coaster of emotions and I am living for it one hundred percent. "Yeah. I don’t know if I can even muster up words but I want to try,’’ I manage in between sniffs. Beau smiles and squeezes my hands tightly.
"Beau,’’ I breathe out his name and I feel like my heart pours out with it. he is watching me, his eyes open wide, his hands trembling against mine "I love you so much. fuck, this is hard,’’ I stutter nervously. I have this whole crowd in front of me, everyone is watching, I know there are no expectations. There is no pressure to give the perfect speech but somehow, in this imperfect world. I want to give him perfect.
He mouths "I love you too,’’ in a whisper which just makes my heart beats even faster. I take a deep breath.
"You are the key that fits into all my locks. I have a been a lot lately,’’ he laughs nervously. I know he knows what I am talking about. I can’t even control myself lately and Beau has been able to handle me. I doubt anyone else can handle my crazy. Especially in recent times. "I am sorry for being clingy, extra emotional, I am sorry for a lot of things but I am not sorry for loving you." I pause and his eyes are still fixed on me "I know they say that our love is chosen by the deities but I don’t believe that. I will always choose you. in this life and the next."
I move closer to him, I know I should wait until the whole ’You may kiss the bride—groom, whatever. But I just want to taste his lips right now "I vow to love you and keep you every day of my life. To look into your eyes adoringly as I do now and to kiss you tenderly on your lips,’’ I rest my head on his and he closes his eyes. Like I said earlier, I don’t see anyone but him, so I do the one thing that I have wanted to do since I walked in here and held his arms. I press my lips to him and it feels like magic. I have kissed Beau so many times but this time feels different and I know I have said it so many times but my heart is in a different place.
Alby coughs nervously "I think you are supposed to wait for that part,’’ he laughs jokingly which just makes me pull away from Beau. Beau is still watching me and for the first time in a while, I don’t know what he is thinking. There is this expression on his face, it warms my heart so much but it is also terrifying.
"Can we speed this up? I just want to be married to him already,’’ Beau mutters and I see the impatient side of him. the side that makes me love him even more.
"Okay, do you have the rings?’’ he asks Beau and he nods immediately, bringing them out of his pocket.
"Let these rings represent your eternal love and the promises you have made here today. Let them be a symbol of your unbreakable bond and this new beginning of your life together with no end in sight."
"Beau, take Alanis’s ring and place it on his finger then repeat after me,’’ I turn back to Beau, and Alby continues "With this ring, I promise to love and cherish you to the end of my day.’’
Beau repeats, my heart thuds excitedly. We have made so many promises to each other and I am going to keep those promises for as long as I am still breathing in oxygen. With his promise, he takes off the previous ring on my finger and puts on our wedding ring. It is a plain gold band but already perfect in my eyes.
I say the same words and slowly slide his own ring on his finger.
"Your love has now been strengthened by the promises you have made here today and the rings you have exchanged. Now you may kiss the groom.’’
I smile one last time, ignoring all the awws and murmurs as I take him into my arms.
I am married to the love of my life.
Finally.
Chapter 389: Bliss
Beau
"How did you get everyone here in such a short time?’’ Alanis asks me. we are finally married and everyone is seated at the reception. It wasn’t easy planning this because I had to do everything so quickly. I know this could have been better if I had the time but I am glad for what we have now. I am happy that I put his ring on his finger. I am happy that I can finally call him my husband. It has been a long time coming and with everything that has happened. I just wanted to seal the deal and make him mine forever.
I have never been one for labels. It doesn’t matter to me, as long as we can be together but I needed to do right by him. I wanted him to be my husband before my children come into this world. this will make us a complete family and I am excited about our future.
"It wasn’t easy. Rex was with Jules, so I just had to beg him to come along with them. I didn’t want to do this without everyone that made it possible." I tell him shrugging lightly. It was easy convincing Blue to leave his father’s cabin. Apparently, there is something going on with Gyles that I might have to get involved in after this. I don’t know what it is but I didn’t want to get into it while my mind was a mess.
Bells walks over to our table and there is a smile on her face "Congratulations Alanis," she raises her glass of champagne into the air. I smile because she is the one that helped me with basically everything.
"I know you had a hand in all this, so I should thank you,’’ he manages. It seems like he is still in a daze. I know I sprung this all on him. I wanted to be married to him so badly, that I didn’t mind shouldering the whole wedding.
"Nah, you boy here, did all the work and spent all the money." She winks at me and I respond with a smile.
"Well, I had no clue,’’ he pulls me closer to him and I feel his heat, warm and inviting. I close my eyes for a second because, I still have one last thing up my sleeve, the way Lanis has been looking at me all night doesn’t help matters.
The night flies by so fast, spending all this time with the people that matter the most to me. I am at a very calm and happy place in my life. I didn’t think it was ever possible. All thanks to Lanis, I get to experience a lot of first.
********************
"Where are we going?’’ Lanis asks me.
I rented a car for the weekend. I don’t want to take him far away right now because of the pregnancy and all but I still want to have a honeymoon with him. I am doing everything traditionally, so I would like to make things flow the way they would.
"it’s a surprise,’’ I tell him with a smile on my face. we are in a limousine, on our way to the hotel. It is not a big deal but at least it is better than the motel. I knew instantly that he didn’t want to spend the night at the motel. I paid a lot of money, to use the place.
"Why am I blindfolded?’’ he mutters and raises his hands up in question.
I laugh because there was no plan to blindfold him. I just used my tie. maybe this was me wanting to be a little naughty before we have our privacy.
"No reason,’’ I teel him, moving closer to him. my hand finds its way to his belt and he stiffens against me.
"I see what you’re doing.’’
I unbutton his pants and lean forward until my face is close to his neck "What am I doing?’’ I ask him, innocently.
He scoffs but I feel his dick as it hardens against my touch "This is payback for earlier in the car?" he asks.
I shake my head even though he can’t see me "I just want to make you feel good,’’ I take his dick in mine and the hardness catches me off guard. We had sex earlier today, I love that I make him want more and more of me. there has never been a time Lanis has refused me. his body always reacts to me and that makes me feel fucking special.
"Are we almost there?’’ he asks me as I start to stroke him slowly. He pushes his waist forward, wanting more and this makes me smile even more.
"Yes,’’ I answer him.
He lets out a breath but I don’t stop my movement. My hand keeps going but at a slow torturous pace.
"More?’’ I ask him.
He nods immediately. so I obey him and quicken my pace. Once I start to stroke faster, he starts to try to control his moans. He could try but he never succeeds. I have lanis, right where I want him. He raises his hand to his face but he is too quick for me. in a second, my tie is off his face and he is looking at me.
"That’s cheating,’’ I tell him, completely aware of the lust in his eyes. He ignores me and pushes me until my back is on the chair. His hands fondle with my pants and I am loose and in his grip in less than a minute.
"I want us to cum together. please.’’ He bats his lashes and my heart races against my chest. I reach for him again and he closes his eyes at the same time pressing his lips to mine. My tongue slides into his mouth and all I taste is the sweetness that only he has. He kisses me with so much intensity that I feel like I am going to explode.
"At the same time,’’ he mutters in between kisses.
I nod and he starts to stroke me at the same pace I stroke him. Our bodies move in sync with our hands and I feel myself as I get to the edge.
"Now, I tell him and he arches his back forward, grinding into me even faster.
With our lips still together, I cum all over his hands just as he does the same. letting out a heavy breath, I fall to him and close my eyes.
"I love you,’’ he murmurs against me.
I don’t even need to answer because I know he knows how I feel. There is no doubt between us anymore.
Just bliss.
Chapter 390: Lean on me
Alanis
Beau walks out of the limousine and I follow him with so much excitement that it feels like my heart is about to explode. the pounding in my chest is not helping matters. I feel like my heart is at its own pace and not in a bad way. Beau has managed to surpass anything that I will ever be able to do.
Beau looks at me, and I see nothing but a warm smile. I feel like I’m in a dream. I can’t believe that I’m here, with Beau, and that we’re going to spend the rest of our lives together.
"I thought we were spending the night at the motel?’’ I ask him with a smirk. I know he knew how I felt about that place. there is no way he couldn’t tell that I didn’t want to have a staycation in that place. don’t get me wrong, I love the story behind the motel. I love that this is the place that started us.
"You know that place is not as bad as you are making it out to be,’’ he rolls his eyes and I can’t help but laugh.
I know he’s right, but I still don’t want to stay there. I would much rather be in a better hotel room, or even a suite. I know Beau is going to spoil me tonight and I can’t wait to see what he has planned.
I’m so glad that this night happened. It is all still so surreal to me, the wedding, all it took for him to make it happen. Beau is amazing and sometimes I feel like he is too good to be true. I look up and sure enough, we are at the Belview. this place is pricy. I don’t even know how he has been able to afford this. the Belview is known for its luxury and I can see why.
There is a doorman there to open the door for us and he happily smiles. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone more excited to be working at a hotel than he seems to be. I have been wondering how much he has spent.
I stop walking as we get inside and I can’t help but ogle the beauty in front of me. the Belview is beautiful. I can’t believe this is where we are staying.
"How can you afford this and everything else?’’ I ask him because I need to know. I haven’t helped with the finances. money has never been a problem for me. all the years that father has lived. he has gathered up a lot of priceless artifacts. things that he came across all over the world. the lands he bought all those years, they have all been passed down to all his children.
we don’t have to work as money has never been a problem.
"It is not a problem,’’ he shrugs. "I love you and that is all that matters to me. I want you to have the best.’’ he grabs my hands in his.
I raise a brow because I just need to know if he needs any help with this. I will gladly pay for our stay here.
"Are you sure?’’ I ask.
"Very,’’ he says, kissing the back of my hand. "You are my husband, I will take care of you.’’
I smile and kiss his lips softly. we are still in front of the entrance. one of the bellhops drags our bags and this gets me out of my trance. I turn to look at the entrance once more and then back at Beau. I have to admit that the entrance is beautiful. the chandelier is beautiful. the dining area is amazing. the hotel is gorgeous and I am glad that we are staying here.
"Thank you,’’ I manage as he leads me to the reception. one of the receptionists smiles at him.
"The penthouse is ready for you sir,’’ she mutters as she hands him the key card, almost like she knew who he was and was waiting. Beau has really outdone himself. I know this is not a competition but I don’t think I can top this day. I am curious to see our room. I want to see what Beau has done. I want to see how he has managed to make this place ours. he has done a lot of things to make this day special, the limo, the freaking wedding. I don’t think I need more than this from him.
"Come on,’’ he leads me up to the elevator, the Bellhop follows us behind. I look at my husband and smile. I know that this is the best day, the best night. I feel like I’m on top of the world.
We get to the penthouse and I look around the hallway. the walls are gorgeous. I can’t wait to see the living room and the bedrooms. I can’t believe we are staying here.
Beau opens the door and my eyes open wide at how grande the room is. "Fucking hell, this is beautiful,’’ I mutter.
once our bags are drooped in a corner of the room and the Beau has tipped the man, I turn to him with a serious expression.
"This is too much, I don’t like that you handled this all on your own,’’ I tell him deadpan. I want to enjoy this moment but I also want to feel like I was of help. does that make any sense?
instead of answering, he pulls me into his arms and kisses me. I melt in his arms but I don’t want to lose sight of what is on my mind right now.
"Let me pay for the rooms, I can afford it," I tell him with his arms still around my waist.
he frowns "I know you can afford this but I don’t want you to."
I furrow my brows "why not?’’
he sighs "Can I just do this for you?’’ he asks me.
"Where did you get the money to afford this?’’ I want to know. the moment I agreed to marry him, my money became his and vice versa. if this is a struggle for him, I want to ease the struggle. I want to help him.
I just wish he would accept my help.
there is hesitation in his eyes but I am pretty sure he knows that if he doesn’t tell me the truth, I will not let it slide. "My father left money for me. He also left me other things too. I have been selling them off slowly and that’s how I have been able to afford all this.’’
I just stare at him because I don’t know what to think.
"Will you ask me next time, if you need money? so you don’t have to sell things off?’’
we are equal partners in this relationship.
I want him to get used to leaning on me.
