Chapter Bells part 2
POV Rasheed:
I see my beautiful bride enter the hall and my breath escaped me. She is beautiful, the most perfect woman I have ever seen. My emotions are too hard to control, and I can’t help it, but a tear escapes just as Gianna and her father reach us.
“Who gives Alpha Gianna to be married to King Rasheed?” My dad asks.
“We do” Her parents say in unison.
Her father places her hand into mine.
“Take good care of my baby girl.” He says. “Always and forever” I reply.
Gianna walks up to me and wipes away the tear that escaped and she leans in for a kiss. Unfortunately, my dad stops us.
“Woah, hold your horses, we aren’t at that part yet.”
chuckles.
“You look beautiful Gianna” I whisper into my ear.
“Not so bad yourself darling” she seductively says back.
We turn to my dad, and he begins the wedding ceremony. I am just ready to have her as my wife already. I start to tune my dad out when Gianna turns us to face each other. I snap back to reality just in time for my dad to tell me it is time for me to say my vows.
“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 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.”
She has tears gathering in her eyes. I hand her my handkerchief from my breast pocket, and she shakes her head, pushing my hand away.
“Today I give you my hand and my heart. I promise to encourage and inspire you, to laugh with you, and to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle. I promise to love you in good times and in bad, when life seems easy and when it seems hard, when our love is simple, and when it is an effort. I promise to cherish you and to always hold you in the highest regard. These things I give to you today and every day, a commitment made in love, kept in faith, and eternally made new.” She says.
Her words hit my soul and I need to kiss her, have her in my arms, I need HER. I reach for her regardless of whatever the traditions are, pulling her into my arms and start ravaging her lips.
“Well, we weren’t at that part yet, but I guess we exchanged rings during the Queen Luna ceremony. I now pronounce you man and wife you may continue.” dad chuckles.
Gianna broke away from me and her cheeks flushed pink. We decided to do all the ceremonies one after the other, so now Gianna will be officially become my Queen. We had to have the council come for that, because Gianna will be upgrading her rank and it must be done by the council members.
“Today we are here to witness a mind-blowing event, one I must say I have never seen before. Zeeb and I are honored to make Gianna our Queen. She has shown her strength, power and understanding. She is truly fit to be our Queen.” Dolph says.
“Do you Gianna Antonia Jones promise to conduct yourself with the highest level of integrity and take responsibility for your actions, while laboring for the good of your pack, keeping yourself and leadership far from all intentional ill-doing. Do you promise to stand by your mate as well as your pack, to protect them from all endangering situations?”
Zeeb asks.
“I do”
She moves closer to the goblet. Council member Dolph and council member Zeeb slice both of their hands, dripping the blood into the goblet. I come and stand beside her, and they slice mine as well draining blood into the goblet.
“Please place your hand over the goblet Gianna.”
Dolph says.
She does as told, and they slice her hand. She squeezes it and drops blood into the goblet. The councilmen stir the goblet and Gianna is to drink from it. She reaches and swallows the whole cup. A huge gust of air knocks her into my arms. She groans and grabs her head. All the Werewolves are connecting with her, she shakes her head and gets back to her feet.
“We would like to introduce you Gianna Antonia Jones, Queen of the Werewolves and Princess of the Fae’s.
She howls to the sky, and everyone joins her. I can even hear little Onyx mimicking a howling sound, it is so adorable.
Gianna turns to me and places a kiss on my lips.
“I think I need a drink after that. It looks like it’s your turn baby.” She chuckles as we see the council of the Fae members come to the stage.
