Osiris’ pov
Lily’s mom arrived yesterday and I spent most of the day in my office, hiding like a coward. They’re planning the wedding together and I should help, but I have no opinion on some of the choices they’re making. I don’t even know the difference between some of the colors they mentioned, I thought green was just green?! But no there is forest green, moss green, “just stop Osiris. I can’t hear about this anymore” Santos cried out. I guess he hated wedding planning even more than I did. All I knew is that I wanted Lily to be my wife, to have my last name so Asher and us all were a unity. I would have taken her last name if she rather chose that one, but I am happy she decided to go with mine. The thing I did get to choose for this wedding were my suit and the wedding bands. Lily seems to like my taste in jewelry, so she said I could chose them for the both of us.
Today I am going to Mia’s store and then the human town close by to buy the rings and su
thank you all for reading along. My boyfriend and I have been together for fifteen years, but he really doesn't like the idea of getting maried. We bought a house and have two kids and have something written up in case one of us dies, but it's really nice to plan a make believe wedding.
Lily’s pov My mother couldn’t stay long, although Charlotte was doing well, my mom still feared leaving her alone for too long. Apparently the first few weeks had been really rough, if it wasn’t for Amelia Charlotte might have hurt herself. I tried to apologize, but my mom stopped me “Lily I don’t blame you or Osiris. The only one to blame for this is Alpha Gabriel and Charlotte is slowly realizing this too.” She gave me a big hug “we are going to focus on you for these two days I am here and I only want to hear about the wedding and your future husband okay?” I smiled and hugged her tightly “thanks mom.” I really was grateful for my mom, but as soon as she pulled out a big binder and started asking me questions I started to regret inventing her. No way a wedding was this much work right? “We bought all the dresses yesterday, so today we are deciding the floral arrangement, the decorations for the party and the menu.” She paused, I thought she was done, but
Osiris’ pov Today is our wedding day, my twenty-fourth birthday and the sixth year of me being the Alpha of the Iron River pack. Most of those first five years of being an Alpha I was trying so hard to live up to my father, but now that I have Lily and Asher I feel like I’m really starting to be my own man. Do things the way that feels right to me and my Luna. I want every member of my pack to be happy, loved and respected. Today is a day for me and Lily, but also for the pack. That’s why I’ve asked the head omega to assign tasks for the party in shifts, so everyone can attend the party. I would hire outside workers, but honestly I don’t trust that many people right now. The wedding is up first. Katherine had this great idea to place a small tent nearby so we could get dressed there. I don’t mind walking through the forest in my suit, but Lily and the rest are wearing dresses. Although I heard Jara is wearing a suit, which doesn’t surprise me. As the gamma she always
Charlotte’s pov Rejecting Gabriel was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I often wondered what losing your mate would feel like, but I wasn’t prepared for this. The pain of rejecting Gabriel combined with the shame and anger I felt. I felt such shame for Gab's behavior, for my own reaction to Lily and for losing my title. I know it sounds vain, but I am the oldest of the Burton sisters. I was born to be someone’s Luna and when I met Gabriel everything was so romantic. We felt an instant connection and I went back with him to the Blood River pack with such high expectations. I thought I knew what being a Luna would be like, I always admired how my mother behaved. She was like a super mom. A mom to us and to the pack. Things were so different at the Blood River pack and I didn’t know my place here. When Gabriel was with me he was a different person, kind and loving. But with time I saw less of that man and more of Alpha Gabriel. I though things had changed when the ro
Osiris’ pov I carried Lily all the way to the party. I would have been fine just taking her back to our bedroom instead. She smelled so good and looked even better. Having her as my wife was even more special than I thought. It meant she didn’t just got picked by the Moon Goddess as my mate, but that she continued to chose me as her partner, as her husband. I knew how much Lily wanted this party though and it was partly for my birthday, so how could I say no. We entered the party and everyone applauded us. Katherine had done a wonderful job with Lily picking out everything for the party. I noticed Lily had decided to go with little food items with made me laugh “did you want to feel like you had big hands” I joked. Lily laughed “no not just big hands. Those tiny burgers make me feel like a giant.” She pouted “I am always the shortest. Even Eddie has outgrown me.” Eddie came to the party too, but didn’t want to sit with his parents. Instead he sat wit
Lily’s pov Our wedding was so romantic and the party was so much fun. I danced all night with Osiris and my sisters, eating tiny food and seeing old friends and acquaintances. It was one of the best nights of my life. I was happy Charlotte had come, but seeing her sitting at the table looking so scared broke my heart. I could never be angry with her, I knew she was going through something so hard when she told me she needed space. I didn’t want to have a whole talk with her during the party, so instead I decided to dance with her. When the rest of my sisters joined it felt like old times, better than old times. Because now I wasn’t the insecure girl that felt out of place. I knew who I was, that I was just as good as them even if I look different than them. I am a good Luna, mother and now wife. I am a good person and I deserve just as much as anyone else to be happy. After the party most of the pack went out to run, my parents stayed behind to watch
Charlotte’s pov All I wanted was for something to hurt more than the pain I was feeling in my heart. I sank my claws into my arm and felt some sense of relieve, for a short while. But it didn’t last. The feelings and thoughts came right back. I had done this. I had spared Gabriel’s life and now he had taken my nephew and killed my mom. Even though my mom and dad had both said to not blame myself, I knew they were just saying that to be nice. They were wrong. I felt Lily touch my head, I even felt her slap my face, but nothing seem to really get me out of my thoughts. Erica tried to talk some sense into me, but I pushed her back. This was my fault and I no one could convince me otherwise. Lily touched my face, making me look at her and I she told me it wasn’t my fault. Gabriel and some rogues came. I almost welcomed them, hoping that if they would hurt me the pain would stop. If I died everything would be over. Amelia wouldn’t have me, but I wasn’t wo
Lily’s povI fought the rogues with everything I had, hoping that I could fight them off long enough for someone to get here. For someone to save Asher. I wanted to live, I really did. But getting Asher out of here was more important at that time. Because life without Asher, well I didn’t even want to think what life without him would feel like.Arya fought well, biting and scratching the rogues while trying to avoid their attacks. I wasn’t always successful though, I felt the pain of some of their bites, but I kept going. “Lily, Emma and Jara are closer to you. They’re coming. I am coming too my love. Please hold on,” Osiris voice said through our link.He must be feeling the pain I’m trying so hard not to focus on. My adrenaline took over and I threw another rogue off my back while clawing at the rogue to my left.A loud growl came through the trees and Emma and Jara were near us, Emm
Osiris’ pov I ran with Alpha Edward until Lily mindlinked me to let me know Gabriel was near her. We were too far away to get to Lily quickly, but Jara and Emma were ten minutes away. I told Alpha Edward to go back to the packhouse. I knew he ran after Gabriel, not being able to be with Katherine. I ran towards where I last left Lily, praying she and Asher would be okay. We had lost enough tonight and I didn’t even want to think about what I would do without either of them. Lily let me know she had Asher, so I followed her scent and traced it to a tree nearby. She was sitting there, nursing Asher and I saw she was trying so hard not to fall asleep, but failing miserably. She reminds me of Asher when he refused to fall asleep, his eyes closing slowly and then quickly opening again, just to close a second later. I picked Lily up, making sure she was still holding Asher and I carried them both to the packhouse. Lily was hurt badly, but she would heal. I
