*MELIAN POV*
Today is the day!! My mates and I will finally be able to take it easy. I'm kidding, it's actually our baby boy's ceremony. He will not only become the Alpha of Blood Moon, but he will marry his mate, and she will become not only his wife, but his Luna. I have fallen in love with Riley. I can't wait to see what their future holds, and how they take this pack in a new, updated direction. He has such amazing ideas, and with the right guidance he will bring them to fruition. I have been helping Riley get ready, and checking on the preparations. I need to go and check on the girls and River to make sure they are moving along and getting ready, and I had best stop in our room to check on my mates. I laid their tuxedos on the bed beside my dress, and I hope that they were able to dress themselves. I can't do it all. Loki was watching the game, he had just had his shower, and Liam was currently in the shower. I gave him strict instructions to make sure Maddix was ready in 45 minutes and in the ceremonial hall. He saluted me and said, "Aye cappin'. Will do!" and then started to laugh. I shook my head at him and shut the door.
The girls were next in line. Adelina was in the shower, and it wouldn't take her long to get ready. Asteria was already dressed and ready. She was lounging in her room reading a book. I peeked into Alette's room, and she wasn't in there. Her dress still hung in her closet, and from the looks of it she hadn't been in there all day. I took my phone out of my bag, and dialed her number. Straight to voicemail. I went back to Asteria's room and asked if she had seen her sister. She informed me that she hadn't been home since right after breakfast. That she had to go into town to "pick up some things." What the hell could she need from town, and why would she leave without telling us? I was fuming.
I dialed her number again, but this time I left a message. "Alette Lily!! You stop whatever the hell you are doing, and get your little ass back to this pack house right now! Today is an important day for this family and your brother! It is not a day for you to fuck off! Get back here NOW!" It wasn't 10 minutes later, and she came running into her bedroom. "Where the hell have you been, Alette?" I questioned. My anger was at the top level, and if she was smart, she wouldn't add fuel to the fire. "Sorry mom, I was at Jamie's house. I borrowed a pair of shoes for tonight," she explained. I narrowed my eyes at her and replied, "Jamie's, huh? So if I call Margo and ask if you were there, she will confirm your story. That you have been there since after breakfast?' Her face dropped and she huffed at me. "Why am I always under scrutiny mom? Everyone always acts like I am up to no good, and that's just not true. If you absolutely have to know everything, I went over to Jackson's first. I broke everything off with him, because it's obvious we aren't mates. I then went over to Phoenix's house to talk to him. If you don't believe me, you can call him. Then I went to Jamie's and just grabbed the shoes and left. Then, as you were leaving me the message, I was walking through the pack house door." she explained. She was upset because I was angry, but she knows that she has to let us know when she leaves the pack house. It has been that way since she was able to leave on her own. She doesn't understand that her safety is always the most important thing.
After the Alette drama, I went back to Riley's room. She was in her gown, and her hair and makeup were perfect. She looked like a beautiful doll. Her dress fit her like a glove, and the jewels I had loaned her matched perfectly. I called Liam and asked if they were ready. We only had 20 minutes before the ceremony started. He said they were ready and Maddix was already downstairs with George, Henry and Phoenix. They were getting my grandma and the rest of the family situated. Jason was in the room with Liam and Loki helping them get ready, and Rebecca had just come into Riley's room.
She immediately started crying at how beautiful she looked. Ever since Trinity's wedding announcement, Rebecca has been an emotional wreck. Her oldest was marrying and moving out of the house, Joel was about to graduate high school, and their youngest, Mallory, was about to enter high school. We told her they should adopt another one, but she said what she had on her plate was plenty. She said she would just wait for her grandbabies.
I let everyone know that it was time to head down, and I could feel Riley's nerves get riled up. I told her to relax because this would be one of the best days of her life, and to enjoy it. She and I walked hand in hand to the bottom of the stairwell, and at the bottom stood my son. He was tall and handsome. His blond hair was slicked back, and it showed off his chiseled features. His piercing blue eyes never left Riley as she descended the stairs. "Hi," she whispered, and he reached out for her hand. "Hi," he smiled back and kissed her hand. It warmed my soul to witness this. He may look almost spot on his bio dad, but his soul was much purer. "Ready?" I asked him. He nodded his head, and he followed his fathers and me into the ceremony hall with Riley on his arm.
