HUNTER..

Zander and Arianna's Father are with me, getting ready. Her Father is eyeballing me.

"Mr. Freeman...do you want to say something?"

"Yes I do. I know what you put my daughter through. I also know you saved her life, and I also know you apologized. I know she has forgiven you. I know my daughter loves you. Make no mistake...Alpha or not..if you do anything to hurt my daughter, I will make sure you regret it for the rest of your life. Even if it means I spend the rest of my life in jail."

"I understand...I will never hurt Arianna again. I promise you."

"Good...now that I've said my peace, you can call me Tony. Even though you did not ask my blessing first, I am giving it to you. My daughter loves you."

"Sorry about that. I guess I was caught up in the moment."

"I understand. Honestly, Maria and I nearly ran off and eloped the night I asked her."

"Really?"

"Oh yeah...we hadn't even marked each other yet. I wanted to wait until our wedding night. I was so anxious, we nearly ran off to get married, but our parents found out and made us wait for a real wedding. We threw a wedding together in a month, then we were official, and pregnant with Arianna another month later. I love my family with all my heart. Do you understand?"

"I think so. Thank you."

"Good...now then, let's get you two married."

Zander slapped my arm, then chuckled at me. I let out my breath that I didn't realize I was holding. I've never been afraid of anyone, until now. A Father's love for his daughter is unlike any other. I never want to be on his bad side. Tony went to go meet Arianna to walk her down the aisle. Zander and I went over to the archway. So many guests arrived on such short notice. Everything looked amazing. The whole area was decorated in white and blue flowers, white and blue ribbons, and fairy lights. The blue moon shone bright and big over us. The night was perfect.

"Are you ready to be married?"

"Definitely. What about you? Gonna marry Marissa?"

"Eventually, but unlike you, we are not in a hurry. We want to get to know each other first."

"But you marked her the night you two met."

"I guess we got a bit excited. She is incredible."

"If you say so."

The wedding planner signaled that Arianna was ready. The DJ started up the wedding march song, and we began. Marissa came out first, then Arianna's mother. The crowd stood as Arianna appeared at the end of the aisle with her father. I mumbled under my breath when I saw her.

"Wow…"

Time seemed to slow down as they slowly came down the aisle. Arianna glowed. Not just glowed, but radiated light from every pore of her body. The most beautiful creature alive. Yes...her dress was beautiful, but it's her that makes my heart beat wildly in my chest. The clouds parted, and the moon seemed to shine brighter than ever. When Tony handed her to me, I was almost afraid to touch her. She may not be real. When the warmth of her hand touched mine, I finally realized this was real.

"You can close your mouth now."

"Huh?"

She chuckled at me. Then I realized I had my jaw on the ground. The wedding officiant began.

"Dearly beloved...we are here tonight to join Alpha Hunter Knols, and Arianna Freeman by the bonds of marriage. We ask the Moon Goddess above, to sanctify this union and bless everyone here tonight. Hunter...do you take Arianna as your wife and Luna? During good times and bad times? In sickness or health? For as long as you both shall live?

"I do…"

"Do you Arianna take Hunter as your husband and Alpha? During good times and bad times? In sickness or health? For as long as you both shall live?

"I do…"

"I believe that Hunter and Arianna have prepared their own vows."

"Arianna, I fell in love with you the very second I saw you. I know I treated you horribly. I will never forgive myself, but am so grateful that you have such a big heart, that you chose to forgive me anyway. I pledge everyday to show you how much you mean to me, and how much I love you. You complete me. My soulmate, my love, and my Luna."

"Hunter, I think I fell in love with you even before I met you. That day we met, I saw you walk to the podium to prepare your speech. That was the moment I knew you were my mate. I hoped from that moment on, you would recognize me as your mate. I know we have been through so much. I am glad we are now here. I couldn't imagine my life with anyone else. I love you with all my heart and soul. You are my love, and my Alpha."

I squeezed her hands and sighed. Marissa and Zander handed us rings and we began.

"Arianna, this ring is a symbol of my everlasting love for you. With this, I accept you as my wife and our Luna."

"Hunter, this ring is a symbol of my everlasting love for you. With this, I accept you as my husband and Alpha."

The wedding officiant spread his arms, taking in the whole congregation.

"May the goddess bless this union. If anyone here believes they should not be wed, please speak now."

Thankfully…there was complete silence. He nodded at us and smiled.

"Then, by the power vested in me and everyone present, I declare you husband and wife. Alpha and Luna of the Blue Moon Pack. You may seal your union with a kiss."

I didn't need anything more. I eagerly scooped up Arianna in my arms, and kissed her. Her arms flew around my neck and kissed me back. I heard clapping and cheers. We finally broke apart and stared at the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Our new Luna! Arianna Knols!"

If it was even possible, the crowd cheered even louder. Arianna glowed like a star, all on her own and everyone seemed to be drawn to her radiance. Guests moved in closer to bow and shake her hand. Even I couldn't stop touching her. I craved her touch like a drug. After everyone went back to their seats, we had one final announcement.

"Now that we are wed, our wolves will consummate our union."
