Chapter 147 : Wedding Day

*Lena*

“Lexi drank a whole bottle,” Mom said happily as she squeezed my shoulders, her eyes meeting mine in the mirror.

“No way! I didn’t think she would!” I sighed with relief as I reached for a makeup brush and blush, watching as Mom padded across the room to gaze out of the window at the front garden. “Who fed her? Xander?”

“No, not Xander. She broke his heart, I think. She’s taken a liking to Chrissy, the kitchen maid.”

I smiled at the thought of Chrissy’s cheeks pinkening with the glory of getting Alexis, who had so far refused anything but my breasts, drinking from a bottle for the first time. Chrissy had served me, Abigail, and Elaine lemonade and sandwiches on the day Viv and Heather showed up at the castle, and since then had been an incredible help with Alexis while Xander and I readied for our upcoming wedding.

Xander had mentioned possibly offering her a position at his castle in Egoren as Alexis’s nanny, and I was hoping she’d accept. At first, I hadn’t wanted a nanny. I didn’t like the idea of not always being available for our child.

But I was going to be a Luna Queen. I needed someone I could trust in my corner to care for her when I wasn’t around, even if those times were far and few between.

“She’s sleeping now.”

“Good, poor thing. It’s been a very long morning,” I breathed, dusting my cheeks with blush. I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my chest tightening at the woman staring back at me. My eyes had once been such a pale gray they were nearly silver, and my hair had always been a soft, straight white. I ran my fingers over the sunstone necklace hanging around my neck, the stone warm to the touch. Inside the stone, my powers lingered, tucked away and safe for when I needed them again.

The Night God had gifted me with something I never imagined I’d have the opportunity to be, without constantly being weighed down by powers I didn’t understand.

He’d made me… Lena–just Lena.

I dusted my eyelids with pale pink eyeshadow, which made the blue in my eyes shimmer. They were bluer than they’d ever been, and against the white of the silk shift I was wearing, my hair was a pale gold as the midday sun sparkled over my skin.

“How long?” I asked.

Mom turned around, a loving smile touching her lips.

“We need to get you in your dress, honey. We have to be at the cathedral in an hour.”

An hour, that was it.

I was an hour away from becoming Xander’s wife.

Mom’s tears were silent, and she quickly dabbed them away with a tissue as I stood in front of all of my friends, my grandmother, my aunts, and my mom. My aunt Kacidra clasped my mom’s hand and squeezed, whispering something inaudible as Clare and Bethany worked to fasten a veil onto the moonstone and diamond tiara at the crown of my head.
