The Tormented Mate
Chapter 18

*Emily’s POV*

Today is our wedding day. As I stand in front of the mirror, I can picture the rest of our lives together. Braxton is going to have a heart attack the second he sees me in my dress. It is a lace A-line gown. It is white and had diamond accents around my waist. It has a v cut between my breasts and hugs my curves. My hair has been curled and placed to the side with roses inserted into it. I am wearing my matching diamond necklace and bracelet Braxton bought me shortly after we got together.

My dad slips his head into the door. “Are you ready?” He smiles and asks me.

“Never been more ready.” I say and take his hand.

He leads me down to the pack house where our wedding will be taking place. We stand in front of the double doors. My dad turns and looks at me. “Beyond those doors stands the rest of your life. You look beautiful and I am so proud of the woman you have become and the horrendous things you have overcome.”

I tear up and hug him. “I love you daddy.” I say and k**s him on the cheek.

We turn and face the door and a few seconds later we hear the music play that will lead me into the rest of my life. I squeeze my dad’s hand and the doors swing open. My eyes lock with Braxton’s and all my worries melt away. We slowly make our way down the aisle and all our memories float into my head. When we reach the end of the aisle my dad places my hand in Braxton’s k****s my forehead and with tears in his eyes takes his seat next to my mom in the crowd.

The officiant speaks only seconds later. “Today we are joining in marriage Braxton Williams and Emily Sanders of the Midnight Moon Pack. The couple has decided they want to read aloud their own vows. I will now let Braxton share his vows.”

Braxton looks at me and forms tears in his eyes. He clears his throat and begins to speak. “Emily, I’m not going to lie, before I met you, I had been with every woman I could set my eyes on. I knew my mate was out there and I knew I would replace her; I just did not know when. The day I laid eyes on you I felt my heart stop. I knew from that moment on you were the one made for me. You have made me a better man and a better Alpha. You have made me the happiest wolf in the world, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of eternity with you.”

The officiant looks at me next. “Emily would you like to share your vows now?”

Wiping the tears from my eyes, I look up at Braxton. “Braxton, before you I never felt complete. I always felt like a chunk of me was missing. In you I replace love, peace and safety. You took every broken piece of me and welded it together. Life with you has been a journey I never thought I would replace. I was lost. You found me and set me free. Without you I would not be who I am today. For the rest of eternity, I will make sure to try and give you an ounce of love that you have given to me. I love you.”

There is not a dry eye in the crowd when the officiant speaks again. “Ladies and gentlemen, I want to pronounce to you Alpha Braxton and Luna Emily Williams!” The pack house breaks out in applause and howls.

Braxton and I make our way out of the pack house and into the limo to meet everyone at our home for our reception. Once in the car I look at Braxton with hungry eyes. “Do you think we can skip our reception and just go straight for dessert?”

In moments Braxton’s mouth is on mine, my dress is lifted, and his hand trails my inner thighs. “We shouldn’t skip our reception, but we can be late.” He says breathlessly.

Not giving me time to speak he replaces my folds and inserts 2 fingers while using his thumb to circle my clit. “Braxton please.” I plead with him.

“You know I love it when you do that.” He growls lowly.

Braxton uses his thumb to circle my clit faster and faster while using his free hand to free my breasts. Once my breasts are free, he inserts one of my n*****s into his mouth. I am so close to o****m that my mouth is watering. “c*m for me baby.” He says into my ear. That is all he has to say, and I come completely undone. He pulls his fingers out and straightens out my dress for me while I place my breasts back into my dress.

Before getting out of the car he whispers into my ear. “That’s nothing compared to what will happen tonight.”

Our reception is a fairy tale. Fixed with white linens, low candlelight, all our favorite music, and all of friends and family. I could not have asked for more of a fantastic day. I married my mate, lover and best friend. We have two amazing pups and a positive future to look forward to. Nothing could come between us and our family.
