Caged Between The Beta & Alpha
Chapter 112

Epilogue Part 1

RAVEN

The wedding of the decade had arrived, and guests from all corners of the country were teeming into the king’s territory for the occasion.

Women in glamourous gowns from the latest designers, and men in custom–tailored suits and tuxes, were pouring into the grand open grounds below. My heart was racing as I stared out of the huge windows at the stunning, breathtaking view down below. It was magical.

To the left was the table set for the reception dinner, decorated impressively. More guests would arrive later for the reception. Round tables were covered in blush–coloured tablecloths with matching chairs, garlands of ivory flowers and ribbons of white fabric creating a roof above.

To the far side were the dance floor and the cake. Right ahead to the right was the aisle, with a carpet of the palest shades of pink and white roses leading from the entrance of the mansion all the way up to the dais, where they would take their vows.

Above it , ribbons of white fabric were draped like a roof above the seats for the guest.

Glass tables at the edge of the rows held vases of pale pink roses and garlands of green vines dangled from the ceiling, similarly to the eating area with chandeliers glittering in the centre. To the side was the string quartet who would be playing the music for the ceremony. Magical.

” It’s perfect Kia. ” I murmured in awe, turning to the queen herself. The beautician was finishing off her elegant bridal up–do, making sure every wave of her hair was in a perfect position.

A few strands framed her face and she finished by adding the floral hair vine to Kiara’s bun, before pinning her veil in. Kiara smiled at me. Her face glowing radiantly, she wore an ivory one–sleeved embroidered dress that was decorated with pearls.

It was a mermaid cut gown with a huge skirt that had a large trail, with the same embroidered work on it on top of the dress. She wore pearl earrings, but apart from that, her only jewellery was her engagement ring ” You look beautiful. ” I complimented. She truly did.

Thank you, it’s really weird that I’m nervous, although I’m already Luna and we are already mated. ” She said, when the beautician left, leaving us alone.

I smiled softly as I walked over to her. ” It’s still a new step. ” I said taking her hand, as I crouched down before her, her acrylic nude nails looked as perfect as the rest of her with those glittery tips.

” Thanks. ” She smiled. ” You look gorgeous. ” Thank you. ” I replied, my heart fluttering as I wondered what Liam would think. I had been with Kia since morning and I missed him. I was wearing an olive–green, metallic, halter-neck dress, with a slit down the centre from the collar to my wa!st.

It was fitted up to the knees and then flared out with crystal detailing around the bodice, neckline and wa!st. My back was bare, save for the tattoo of Liam’s name on the left side of my back, which I had gotten recently.

My hair tips were now dyed a deep mauve pink and were up in an elegant up–do with olive green flowers in it. My eye makeup was dramatic with nvde lips, and I wore high pencil heels on my feet. ” It’s time. ” Uncle El’s voice came. We both turned to see him, Aunty Red, Liam, and Azura standing there.

My heart skipped a beat when my eyes landed on Liam in a stone–coloured suit with an open-button olive green: shirt underneath.

His hair was styled to perfection, a single strand flicking over his forehead, and that scar of his made him look even s3xier as his blazing cobalt eyes were set on me. Goddess, he was so handsome …

The urge to go over and run my hand down his chest that was teasing me from those open buttons was strong and I had to fight it.

I swallowed hard, my core clenching, the urge to move closer to him and k!ss him tempted me, but this was Kia’s day. ‘ F**k, Love … ‘ Liam’s voice came through the link . ‘ Yeah … same …

You look beyond s3xy, blue eyes. His intense gaze was making me a little light–headed, as he undressed me with his eyes, and I had to blink to remember where we were. ” She looks amazing, right? ” I asked, looking down at my glowing queen, my heart thundering. ” She does. ” Uncle El agreed.

” As do you. ”

They walked over to us as Azura stared at Kiara with pure awe on her face. She herself looked gorgeous, like Kiara’s twins. She was in a blush–coloured gown with a trail and some lacework. Pearl buttons going up the back with a bow at the back. ” You look bootiful Kiawa.

” She said, wrapping her arms around her. ”

Thank you, sweetheart. ” Kiara k!ssed her forehead, smiling at her before I whistled. ” And you, Zuzu, are going to steal the hearts of all the little boys out there. ” I should hope not. ” Uncle El said, frowning slightly. ” I keep forgetting that I’m going to have to give her away too …

Oh baby, not today. ” Aunty Red replied, k!ssing him. She wore a duck egg-coloured, net embroidered gown with a tulle net skirt, a slit up to her th!gh and one ruched sleeve.

Uncle El wore a grey pinstripe suit with a white shirt and black tie, looking almost as handsome as his son, yet was it bad that Liam took s3xy to an entirely new level?

Liam walked over to us, pulling me into his arms and cupping the back of my neck as he k!ssed me deeply. His tongue slipped into my mouth, my core clenching as his hand grabbed my as*s.

Our lips care*ssing the others, he nibbled on my bottom l*p before he broke away, pressing his forehead to mine, his aura swirling around us. I closed my eyes catching my breath, knowing if we continued the entire room will smell my arousal and probably see his hard–on…

Naughty Wiyam. ” Azura giggled as she twirled around in front of the floor-length mirror. I smiled, pulling away and noticing how Uncle El was holding Kiara tightly in his arms.

A father’s love, something I didn’t have from my own father, but I got enough from Uncle El. I didn’t feel like I was missing out because I had people who loved me. ” You look beautiful Kia. ” Liam said, making Kiara smile.

” Thanks, Liam. ” She said as he hugged her tightly.

” I’m sure Alejandro is going to love it. ” Aunty Red replied. ” Well, we should get going, it’s almost time. ” ” I’m ready! ” Azura exclaimed. She was going to be the little flower girl, whilst Dante was the ring bearer. The twins were far too small for the job. I was Kiara’s maid of honour, but she had allowed me to choose my own clothing and hadn’t set a theme for me.

I loved this girl as I couldn’t really see myself wearing blush pink. Liam k!ssed me once more as we all headed downstairs. He and Aunty Red-headed out first, and we would wait until it was our time .

RAYHAN

I looked down at my kitten, she looked breathtaking in her pale blue strapless sequined gown, with a silk layer clinging to her arms, her wintery makeup and her gorgeous hair styled elegantly.

She looked like a winter queen and I was all for it. Her plush pink lips curled up in a tempting small smile, cupping my face before I leant down, claiming those lips in a deep k!ss, the tingles of the spark spreading through me , waking the desire that she always set ablaze within me.

” Del, we look great right? Those women have nothing on us. ” Raihana murmured, scanning the crowds as Chris pulled her close, k!ssing her. ” You sure do. Wanna skip the occasion so I can admire you instead?

” He whispered to her and I c0cked a brow. ” Really Chris, we just got here. ” I remarked. I was coordinated with Delsanra in a pale blue suit with a navy shirt underneath, which I had left a few buttons open, and my hair was down. Raihana was coordinated with Delsanra, yet at the same time was the opposite, in a golden mirrored dress, yet her silk top layer spread around her in a rather dramatic way .

Yeah, she just needed a chance to dress up, her bronzed skin glowing under the sun and she reminded me of those golden trophies you won at some sports game or the Oscars or something.

A little too much … but I won’t say that or she’d skin me alive … I smirked, ok she looked good in a very Raihana way, daring and just needing an excuse to show off, go all out, and be totally extra … Despite being a Luna, she was still known as the Rossi princess. ” Ooo Uncle’s there! Come on Del, we need photos with him! ”

She pulled out of Chris ‘ hold, much to his disappointment. He was wearing black pants and a wa!stcoat with a black and gold blazer.

Him and Raihana really were made for one another …. We walked over to Uncle Al, who was standing there talking to Marcel and Mom. Mom was carrying Skyla whilst Kataleya was being picked up by Serena, Uncle’s Beta’s mate. Uncle looked good dressed in a black tux, his hands in his pockets as he nodded to something Mom was saying.

More than a year and a half had passed since Dad had left us, gone but never forgotten ….. Mom was doing ok, she has good days and bad days, but we were all trying to be there for her. ” Uncle, Photos! ” Raihana said as she did a twirl. ”

How do I look? ” ” Gorgeous, I’m glad you’re f*****g mated. ” He remarked, frowning as he glanced around as if making sure no one had their eyes on her. I smirked as Chris nodded in approval. ” Yeah, don’t worry about that. I take good care of her.

” He winked at Raihana, and I had to admit it still frustrated me at times. One of your best friends totally flirting with your sister all the damn time. It’s awkward, mate or not, and these two were always … handsy. ” Pictures. ” Uncle Al said with a nod as one of the photographers came over, Looking good spitfire, I can see you two have some theme or some sh!t going on. ”

Thanks, king burrito, I’m glad you noticed. ” Delsanra replied as uncle put his hands on both women’s wa!sts, glancing at the camera. ” So, what are you both trying to f*****g be, the moon and sun or some sh!t?

” Ooo I like that, I was thinking more winter and summer. ” Raihana said pouting for the camera . The photographer seemed a little nervous with the king’s cold glare directed at her but she did her job as uncle just stood there perfectly stoic, and effortlessly handsome, whilst the girls posed.

My eyes went to Delsanra, and I had to admit she was so f*****g s3xy … She glanced at me, winking, and I was glad that little brat wasn’t around. His addiction to Delsanra was still ongoing.

Speaking of kids … I glanced around, wondering where Leo was. ” Marcel, is Leo not here? ” I asked. ” He is, but I’m not sure where. He hasn’t even come to see Al. ” He spaced a little and I knew he was mind-linking, someone, probably to ask them to tell Leo to come over. Leo …

He had changed over the last year or so, and I knew it was because of me, yet no matter what I did he refused to talk to me. ” Call him, I’ll take some pictures with my nephews since I’m already doing this crap.

” I ” Uncle, you know we look good. ” Raihana said with a pout . ” You f*****g do. ” He hugged her, k!ssing her forehead. Since Dad had died, he had stepped in and been there for us all. He and Ri were really close, and I knew him being there had helped her as she had always been daddy’s girl.

For me too … I looked away before I got emotional, Delsanra wrapped her arms around me, k!ssing my lips softly. She understood me even when I said nothing. I held her close, brushing my nose into her neck, enjoying the feel of her body against mine ….. Leo came over and the tension between us was thick.

I had tried to explain things to him over Christmas, but he flat-out refused to listen to me. ” What? ” He asked, looking at his dad, his jaw clenched as he refused to look at me.

” Hey kid, not going to f*****g greet me? ” Uncle Al asked, raising an eyebrow. ” Hi. Can I go now? ” He was thirteen, yet as expected of an Alpha male, he was tall. Marcel was about to say something when Uncle shook his head at him slightly before he simply nodded. ”

One picture with your uncle then you can go. Leo exhaled and walked over to him. Raihana and Delsanra exchanged a look as they moved away, and Uncle placed an arm around his shoulders, the photographer snapped a picture before Uncle jerked his head at me.

I shook my head and he raised an eyebrow. ”

I want a f*****g picture of the Rossi next generation. Now get the f**k over here. ” ” Only thing is, Dante isn’t here. ” I remarked, walking over to him, noting the look of irritation in Leo’s eyes, but Uncle’s grip on his shoulder was firmly keeping him in place .. ” The fvcker already had an entire f*****g photoshoot. ” Uncle smirked.

We took a picture before Marcel and Chris joined in and that was all Leo could take. ” You’ve grown, Leo. ” Mom said to him the moment he pulled away from Uncle’s hold.

He gave a small nod before turning and walking off. ” It’s not your fault. ” Marcel said quietly to me, but I didn’t reply. It wasn’t intentional, but it had been my fault, and I couldn’t just ignore that …
