“It’s time to plan your wedding,” Vicky announced and Emily giggled, she was excited as she and Carl were doing better than ever and everything was going so well that when he had officially asked her to marry him, she had happily said yes. Despite the alliance arrangement it had meant so much to her that he had popped the question.
“Something grand and magical,” Vicky continued.
“No, more like something small and private,” Emily argued.
“Is that what you want?”
“Yeah, something intimate, with just a few wolves,” Vicky nodded thinking about Emily’s idea.
“Well, that can most certainly be arranged. Who are the few wolves you’d like to have there?” she asked, and Emily thought about it.
“I’d like my parents and sisters to be there, Carl’s mother, although I haven’t even met her yet, um…Peter and of course you and Jeffery,” Emily blushed as she mentioned her Alpha and Luna last, but Vicky giggled.
“Of course,”
“Justin and Zoey, little Jane too,” Emily added.
“Is that all?” Vicky looked up from her notes and she nodded. “And what would you like served?”
“Roast beef, vegetables, and bread,” she suggested, and Vicky nodded, adding it to her notes.
“Do you have a color theme in mind?” Vicky asked and Emily immediately answered.
“I’d like to stick to the pack's colors,”
“Good idea, but you can choose differently if you want too,”
“No, blue is Carl’s favorite color and I love the pack's colors,”
“Right then that settles it,” she finished her notes and handed it over to Emily. “Do I have everything down correctly?” Emily quickly scanned the page and nodded.
“Yeah, it looks great thank you, Vicky,” The next few days were spent planning her wedding and getting everything ready. Zoey pitched in to help as Vicky was just about ready to burst.
Emily couldn’t be more excited on her wedding day. She couldn’t wait for her family to arrive and she couldn’t wait to officially be Carl’s wife. Zoey had been such a big help during the last couple of days and Emily was sure the human girl had a lot of fun planning a wedding.
“Perfect,” Zoey announced as she finished with Emily’s hair. Vicky paddled over to inspect it and she smiled.
“You did well Zoey, it does indeed look perfect,” Emily looked at the hairstyle Zoey had suggested and smiled. Zoey had curled her hair and placed each curl in a perfect up style bun. She had added small gold and blue jewel flowers to her hair and Emily was impressed.
“Thank you, Zoey, it looks amazing,”
“Time for the dress!” Vicky exclaimed excitedly and Emily giggled. She was looking forward to putting on the dress she had ordered online. Zoey helped her get dressed and it was a mission and a half. The laced wedding ball gown was big and beautiful. The long-sleeved dress was exactly as she had imagined it to look like on her and she gazed at herself in the floor-length mirror.
“You look like Cinderella, well, aside from your hair color of course,” Zoey commented, and Emily wasn’t sure who Cinderella was but took it as a compliment. Vicky held out a blue belt and Zoey quickly took it from her and placed it around Emily’s waist.
“Something blue,” Emily said as she smiled. Zoey opened the gift that Emily had received the day before from her mother. Vicky picked up and read the note that was attached.
“To my darling daughter on your wedding day, I want to present to you, something borrowed and old, we love you,” Zoey placed the gold necklace around Emily’s neck and both wolves gasped at its beauty. It was a crescent moon with tiny stars and Emily gently fingered the piece of jewelry.
“And this,” Zoey took Emily’s wrist and placed the matching bracelet around her wrist.
“Oh Woah, it is beautiful,” Vicky whispered as she gazed at it.
“And something new!” Zoey cheered as she handed over a blue and gold-laced garter. Emily blushed as Zoey went undercover and slipped on the garter.
“Thank you so much, to both of you, for everything,”
“Don’t forget the shoes,” Vicky said to Zoey.
“I didn’t,” Zoey openly rolled her eyes as she brought over the ballet style slip-on that Emily had also ordered online. Once again Zoey went undercover as she helped Emily put her feet into the soft satin shoes. There was a knock at the door and Vicky invited whoever it was inside.
“Omg! Emily!” Felicity cried out as she rushed over to her. She stopped inches in front of her and smiled. “You look so stunning!” Emily smiled at her sister and leaned in to kiss her cheek when she spotted her mother and younger sister.
“Mom! Sasha!” she cried out to them. She was so happy now that everyone she loved and cared for was here for her big day. Sasha and Felicity looked adorable and beautiful in the matching bridesmaid dress she had delivered to them a few days ago. The dresses were a floor-length, V neck, long-sleeved chiffon style in shades of soft blue and gold. Emily was so excited as Vicky led them down to the dining hall. Emily knew that the hall had been transformed into something magical. At the door, Vicky and Zoey entered the room with Andrea. Her father was standing there smiling at her.
“You look beautiful,” he said and Emily blushed. Felicity handed her the bouquet that Zoey had made with white orchids and linked her arm through her fathers. She could hear the song she had chosen start to play and Sasha took the lead, walking in first. Felicity gave her a quick smile before following Sasha.
“Ready honey?”
“Yeah,” she said as they followed in after Felicity. She saw Carl and Peter standing by the alter and she smiled. He looked so sexy in his blue tuxedo and his gold vest. Peter looked good too in a matching suit. Emily glanced around at the wolves as they slowly made their way to the alter. George handed her over to Carl when they reached them and Jeffrey smiled.
“Welcome, we are gathered here today to witness the marital ceremony of Carl Kahn and Emily Lavoie,” Jeffrey announced. Emily and Carl smiled shyly at each other as Jeffrey began the ceremony.
-
“Carl, you have prepared your own wedding vows?” Jeffrey asked him and he quickly nodded. He took a deep breath and reached out for Emily’s hand. She looked breathtakingly beautiful and he felt truly blessed.
“Emily, as soon as I transitioned, I was excited to meet my mate and when I didn’t, I searched long and hard to find her. Now that I finally have you in my life, I feel complete. You are not just my mate but a beautiful companion who I trust and haven fallen in love with. You are honest and true, you amaze me daily and I vow to spend the rest of my life making you happy,” he tried to keep his voice steady as he spoke. “With this ring, I declare that you are mine forever,” he gently slipped on the simple gold ring onto her ring finger. She smiled as she reached out for his hand. Carl watched as she licked her lips nervously.
“Carl, I could only ever dream of finding my mate, yet when we met I was taken by surprise. You surprise me every day with your humor and your charm. The gods knew exactly what they were doing when they fated us as mates. I fell in love with you from the very first day and I promise to love you every day of our lives together,” she was blushing so hard as she spoke and her words quivered with nerves. Carl could only smile at the she-wolf who he had fallen so hard for. She slipped the ring onto his ring finger and shyly announced. “With this ring, I declare that you are mine forever,”
“And by the power invested in me, I now pronounce, before these witnesses, that Carl and Emily, are now husband and wife, Carl you may kiss your beautiful bride,” Jeffrey announced and Carl leaned forward and kissed her softly.
Carl looked down at his stunning wife and smiled. She blushed as he gently kissed her. He vowed he wouldn’t let a day go by without kissing her delicious lips. His mother came over to them and he tensed up, unsure of his mother's actions and how Emily would respond.
“Welcome Emily Kahn,” Audrey said shocking Carl. Emily smiled and bowed her head respectfully.
“Thank you, Mrs. Kahn,” Emily whispered.
“How about a dance with your old sick mother?” she teased and he excused himself, leading Audrey out onto the small dance floor.
“Are you happy mother?” he asked her as they danced and she looked up at him and frowned.
“My son, it is not I who needs to be happy, it is you. So tell me are you happy?” Carl glanced over at Emily who was dancing with her father and he smiled.
“Yes, I am happy,”
“Then I am also happy, but I will inform you that Jennifer struggles daily,”
“Why did you have to bring her up?”
“Come see me tomorrow,” she ordered and he nodded. They didn’t talk further as they danced. When the song ended, he led Audrey off the dance floor.
-
Emily noticed her father talking to quite a sexy looking male wolf but she didn’t recognize him.
“Who is that wolf?” Emily asked her mother curiously.
“He is a young alpha your father is hoping to form alliances with,” came Andrea's reply.
“Felicity or Sasha?”
“He had chosen Felicity but Ayden refused and said he wanted Sasha and would wait for her,” Emily smiled as she watched the wolf. Although he was talking to her father, she could see that his eyes followed Sasha’s every move.
“What of Felicity?” she asked.
“Your father has another pack in mind, but the alpha has a reputation and keeps avoiding your fathers’ requests,” Emily frowned and could only hope that her two sisters would find love the way she had. She spotted Carl and went to him. She was eager for their night to begin and as much as she was enjoying their reception, she wanted to be alone with her mate.
“Carl?” he turned as she called out his name.
“Yes my little mate?” he asked and she could see he was amused by her blushed cheeks.
“Can we go now?” she asked him in a hurried whisper. He knew what she wanted; she could tell by the smile he gave her. He took her hand and led her out. No one seemed to be paying any attention to them and for that she was grateful. When they got to the room, Carl closed the door behind her.
“Getting you out of that dress is going to be a mission, isn’t it?” he asked, and she burst out laughing.
It had taken Carl all of five minutes to get the beautiful dress off. When she stood naked before him, he quickly removed his own clothing and guided her to their bed. Laying down, Emily felt both excited and nervous as to what was going to happen. Carl took his time in loving her body, heating her from the outside in, she withered at his every touch and cried out his name when he brought her to c****x. When he settled himself between her legs, she looked up at him shyly. The moment had arrived.
“I need you to relax and trust me ok?”
“Ok,” she whispered. Carl shifted and she felt him press against her entrance. She told herself to relax as she watched him. He smiled softly at her and pushed himself into her. The big invasion made her gasp and he stopped. “Go on,” she breathed out and he pushed further, forcing himself passed her barrier. She cried out at the sudden sharp pain and he stopped.
“Take a moment to feel me inside of you,” he said to her and she tried to relax around him. When the pain subsided, she felt the wave of pleasure rushing through her body. He must’ve felt it because he began to pull out and she was just about to complain when he re-entered her slowly.
“Oh Woah,” she moaned out as he moved in and out of her. The feeling was so different and so exciting that when she suddenly climaxed, she blushed and tried to hide her face.
“No, my little mate, don’t hide from me,” she opened her eyes and looked up at him, the passion and desire in his eyes made her feel comfortable and she gave herself to him completely. When she had spoken to her mother earlier about the mating process, her mother had quickly given Emily a lesson on what to expect. She had thought herself prepared but nothing could’ve prepared her for the pleasure she was feeling. Wave after wave hit her and she gazed up at Carl in awe. He was so sexy, and he felt so good inside of her that she never wanted it to end.
“I can’t hold on much longer,” he groaned out and she nodded. She wanted him to reach his c****x and she lifted her legs and wrapped them around him, pulling him in closer. He growled out and she felt his release. He slowed down and finally stopped and she leaned up and kissed him. When they broke apart, she loved how he was looking at her.
“I love you, my little mate,” he whispered, and she couldn’t help but beam up at him.
“I love you too Carl,” she replied. When he pulled out and cuddled next to her, she had no problem drifting off to sleep.
-
Carl woke up on his back with Emily straddling him. He was pleasantly surprised by her boldness.
“Well, my little mate, what are you doing up there?” he asked her, and she blushed as she looked down at him. He was admiring her from this position and when she made a move to get off, he quickly stopped her. “No, don’t go anywhere, let me show you what you need to do,” he gently guided her up and then down, sliding down his length. She gasped in shock at this new position and he loved her innocence. “Now you do like this,” he lifted her up and down and she immediately took charge and he could see she loved it. A few moments later, they were both breathing hard, coming down from their high.
“Woah,” Emily said as she gently climbed off from him. He grabbed her and pulled her to his side as he breathed in her delicious scent.
“I am going to have a lot of fun teaching you all about s*x,” he said to her. He loved making her blush and he wasn’t disappointed when she turned pink at his words. Carl felt like he was on top of the world. He had found his mate and she was amazing, beautiful, talented and downright sexy as f**k. He couldn’t wait to take things to the next level, but he knew he had to be patient and allow her to find her own way. Hearing her soft snore, he knew she had fallen asleep, he slipped from the bed and went to the bathroom. He was aware that he was breaking their ritual by taking a shower alone, but he had to go see his mother. When he was done showering and dressed, he leaned down and kissed her forehead before heading out to see his mother.
“Hey mom, I’m here,” he called out when he reached her house. She came into the kitchen and smiled.
“Hello, my son, I wasn’t expecting you this early,”
“Emily is sleeping so I thought I'd stop by early before going for a run with her,” he explained.
“I didn’t want to ask any questions at your reception, but I do have questions,” he knew where this was going, and he growled out.
“Ah come on mom, can’t you just accept Emily and move on?”
“I do accept her, I welcomed her too, I just don’t see why you chose her over Jennifer,”
“I’ve fallen in love with Emily!” he stated loudly.
“Have you?” she asked him, and he frowned.
“I just said that I have and yet you question me,” he said, and Audrey gave him a knowing look. She came to him and pressed her soft hand against his cheek. Looking deep into his eyes, his mother uttered the words he had been dreading.
“Because my son, you cannot be in love with her when you are still in love with Jennifer,”
“Ah, f**k,”
