《The Blood Queen》Morning Of
Advertisement
I woke up extra early this morning and ran to Henleys room. She was already awake and just got out of the shower when I ran in.
"I'm so excited I didn't even sleep!" Henley says and I laugh and make her sit in the chair. "It's so weird to spend a night without Charlie" she says as I pull her hair back so I can apply her makeup.
"Well from now on you don't have to" I say winking at her in the mirror and her cheeks burn red.
"We are here!" Nathalie and Emily say bursting into the room with excitement.
"Perfect I just finished the makeup." I say and move out of the way so Emily can do her hair while I do Nathalie's makeup. We spent two hours going back and fourth getting each other ready until it was time to change into our dresses.
"See you on the aisle ladies" we all say and I kiss Henleys cheek when Roman shows up to be her escort down the aisle. He was a best man too but unfortunately becoming a beast and not aging in the last 25 years meant Henley didn't get to stay in contact with her family.
"You look happy" I say to Roman as I walk past and he shrugs with a big grin on his face.
"It'll take longer like you said but we are going on a date next weekend. Apparently there's a dating process" he says and I roll my eyes and laugh before wishing him good-luck to not trip down the aisle.
Once in my room I slipped into my dress and pushed my earrings in. Standing in front of the mirror I looked at myself for the last time this dressed up. I hoped this is how Henley remembered me. If she remembered me at all today. I remember how jumbled my wedding was.

A knock resonated and the door opened revealing Dominic in a tux standing at the door. The same tux he wore on our wedding day. My breath caught in my throat and I had to take another breath.
"I thought we were all lining up downstairs" I said choking out the words.
"We are" he says clearing his throat. "I just came back from checking on some last minute things and wanted to make sure you're ready" he says and I nod my head silently and walk towards him closing the door behind us and walking down the hall.
"You encouraged Roman to go win over his soulmate" Dominic remarks and I shrug.
"He would have, I just gave him a little push to do it before she's grey" I laughed and the corner of his lips lifted a little as he fought a laugh.
Thaddeus and Emily were first, followed by Theodore and Nathalie, and then it was Dominic and I, and then the beautiful bride. Eliza-Jane and Damien looked adorable in their outfits and I caught Dominic high-fiving them both.
When the music started playing I smiled back at Henley one last time before stepping in line. I placed my arm in Dominics and prayed I wouldn't trip with all the heat travelling through my body. Each step felt heavier as we made our way down the aisle. I almost tripped but no one could tell as Dominic kept me steady.
"Don't fall on me now" he whispers with a hint of humor and I fought the butterflies it sent to my heart. "You look beautiful by the way" he whispered in my ear when we parted ways at the alter and it took everything in me not to falter. My heart was racing and I had to remember to breath as his darkened eyes stayed on me while Henley and Roman entered the room.

I had to pull my eyes from his as I turned to smile at Henley. Charlie looked so happy. They both did. All their worry and fears were vanished in this moment. Once Henley was in front of me I blocked out the rest of the words as I couldn't keep my eyes from Dominic's. I felt a tear slip out of my eyes as the ceremony continued and everyone stood to applaud. I didn't even see their kiss. He knew. Dominic knew. I could see it in his eyes.
