Chapter 148 : It’s Our Wedding and We’ll Do What We Want

*Xander*

“You look like you want to kill everyone in this room,” Adrian hissed. “Loosen up!”

I fought the urge to look over my shoulder at him, keeping my eyes fixed firmly on the aisle running down the center of the pews, which was full to the brim with people. All of Lena’s family was here, as well as her friends and our shared friends. The Alphas and Lunas of practically every single pack were in attendance, and to my surprise, several vampires. I’d been scanning the crowd for several minutes, nodding at those few people I knew who were in attendance.

Lena and Rowan were running a bit behind it, it seemed.

Hanna was seated in the front row, Alexis sleeping in her arms as Hanna turned to speak to Georgia and a woman named Gemma, who was George’s mother. I continued to scan the crowd, my shoulder relaxing a bit as I met Theo’s eye. Ciana waved, beaming at me. And sitting right next to her was Soren, who was leaning to speak into Ethan’s ear, the two elderly brothers looking jovial.

My family from Egoren arrived late last night. They were staying in a very ritzy hotel in the center of Mirage, even though Rowan had offered them suites at the castle. I had a sneaking suspicion the hotel in the city center had been Flora’s idea, judging by the look of glee and mischief drifting over her face as she spoke with Lizzie, George’s sister, who was roughly her age.

There were so many people in this cathedral–hundreds of people, all waiting for Lena.

The bridesmaids consisted of Abigail, Heather, Viv, Elaine, and Bethany. I hadn’t even recognized Bethany at first. I was so used to seeing her covered in grease and dirty, wearing coveralls instead of a sparkling gown with makeup on her face. She looked beautiful, and I quickly noticed the engagement ring on her finger.

I looked back over the crowd and raised my brows at Gideon, who nodded at me when he met my eyes. Gideon had refused to be my groomsman, saying it was a strange ritual. I thought it likely had more to do with the fact that he was a vampire, and he was already getting cautious glances from some people in the crowd.

I felt my shoulders go rigid at the women seated behind him, chatting animatedly with an unassuming older woman, who was looking a little pale.

Narcissa, a f*****g Goddess of the Night Realm, was at our wedding.

She looked totally out of place, given her weird eyes and silver skin, but she seemed totally unperturbed by the glances of mingled concern and interest being cast in her direction. She looked… happy, excited actually. She must have sensed that I was looking at her, because she turned to me, smiling broadly as she waved.

I lifted my hand to wave but then flinched as the pianist slammed clumsily on the keys of the piano, then started pounding the keys in a very dramatic, somewhat excessive fashion.

Adrian was trying as hard as he could not to laugh. I turned to glance at him, noticing Charlie standing behind him, red in the face, his eyes watering with silent laughter.

I wished, with all of my heart, that Oliver was here.

Because he would have laughed, and loudly.

straightened my shoulders, trying to steady my breathing as the doors opened and a spray of sunlight drifted down the aisle. Applause rang out from the street as Lena and her father stepped inside. She was covered in flower petals, her body turned to wave
