The Werewolf King’s Runaway Queen
Chapter 154

Alissa Soleil's POV

"Mommy"

"Mommy, up"

"Mommy!"

I fluttered my eyes open to see River standing beside my bed.

"Mowming, mommy" he greeted me.

I smiled and pushed myself up.

"Good morning, bud" I said and I lifted him up and put him on my lap.

Then, I showered him with kisses and he giggled in delight.

"Mommy, no tickle" he said.

I chuckled and gave him another kiss on the cheek.

River smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Mommy, weady?" he asked.

He meant ready.

River turned one a month ago.

Time passed by so fast and here he is now.

He's actually pretty advanced for kids his age.

River is very smart and active.

At only 10 months old, he started to learn how to walk.

By 11 months, he can already walk so well and now, he runs around everywhere we go.

We are currently in the Palace.

I took a leave because well, I'm getting married.

Luke and I waited for River's birthday first and we're getting married today.

The wedding is in the afternoon.

"Mommy's going to get ready now. Will you be a good little boy and stay here and play or do you want me to call Nana for you?" I asked him. "Stay wi mommy" he said.

I smiled and lightly pinched his cheeks.

He is so cute.

"Okay, mommy will take a shower so you stay here and play. I'll be quick, okay?" I said and River nodded.

"Kay mommy" he said.

I gave him a kiss on the forehead then went to the bathroom.

I quickly showered, dried myself off, wore my underwear and put a satin robe on.

Then, I dried my hair and did my skincare.

After that, I immediately got out and saw River playing by himself on the bed.

I smiled.

He is literally so cute and I love him so much.

Sometimes it doesn't feel real how I gave birth to him.

He's such a precious little one.

As he's growing up, mom said he's starting to look and act like me when I was his age.

It's so wholesome.

Although sometimes Luke gets sulky since River and I are so alike.

Now, he wants his mini me.

I blushed as I remembered it.

"Mommy, look! Ver play" he said.

I chuckled.

"Yes, baby. You're such a good boy. My baby Ver is so good" I complimented him and he giggled.

I sat on the bed with him and played with him.

Then, there was a knock on my door.

"Come in" I said.

Lia peaked inside.

"Hey" I greeted her with a smile.

"Good morning, babes" she said and came in.

Lia hugged me and then turned to look at River.

"Good morning, baby Ver" Lia said and he pinched River's cheeks.

"Ow, anie!" River whined with a pout.

Lia chuckled.

"Sorry, bub. You're just so cute" Lia said.

River just pouted.

Then, Lia turned to me.

"Your makeup artists and stylists are already downstairs. They're still setting up but I'll have someone call you when they're done" she explained.

I nodded.

"Okay sounds good to me" I said.

"The helpers will bring you and River breakfast in a moment so you don't get hungry later on. I need to go back downstairs to oversee the wedding preparations but I'll be with you again later, okay?" she said. I smiled.

"Thank you" I said.

Lia smiled and she gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Anything for my bestfriend" she said.

Lia said goodbye and she left.

A few minutes later, some helpers came and brought River and I our breakfast.

River and I ate together then I gave him a bottle of my pumped milk so he'll be full until later.

I know the preparations will take a long time and I doubt he'll want to stay away from me for a long time so I need to feed him now.

"Mommy?" River said.

"Yes, bud?" I replied.

"Where Luke?" he asked.

I chuckled.

"Baby, don't call your dad by his name" I reminded him.

River giggled.

I call Luke by his name and River hears that so sometimes he ends up calling his dad Luke.

Every time he does, Luke gets sulky which encourages River to keep calling him that to tease him.

He's such a mischievous boy.

"Kay. Where daddy?" he asked again.

I smiled.

"Daddy is also preparing for today, bud" O told him.

River simply nodded.

I brushed my teeth again and played with River until the helpers asked us to go down.

I held River's hand and we went downstairs.

They set up in a guest room and I was asked to sit down on the makeup chair.

River sat on my lap and I played with him the whole time while they did my hair and makeup.

After a while, we finished and they showed me the final look for my wedding.

"Mommy, pwetty" River said.

I smiled and gave him a light kiss on the cheek leaving a kiss mark.

We both giggled.

Then, we took a few minutes of rest on the side and River and I just played in the corner.

After that, we also prepared River and dressed him up and did his hair.

"Oh my ghad" I said in awe as I looked at my sweet boy.

"Baby you look so cute and handsome" I complimented him.

River blushed and hugged me.

"Thank you, mommy" he said and I squeezed his cheek.

Then, we proceeded to dress me up.

I slipped into my wedding dress and my makeup was retouched a bit.

"The final reveal" the artists said and I turned around to look at myself in the mirror.

I smiled.

"You look dazzling, your majesty" they said.

I blushed.

I suddenly remembered my first wedding with Luke.

This one was a lot different.

I wasn't over thinking about anything.

I was just happy.

Genuinely happy.

I have River with me and although I couldn't see Luke, I knew he wasn't anywhere else.

I teared up and I looked at the ceiling to stop the tears.

"Aww, your majesty" they said.

We all chuckled and they handed me a tissue and helped me dab my tears away so I wouldn't ruin the make up. "Mommy, cry?" River said worried.

Then, he pouted.

"No no, baby. Mommy is happy. These are happy tears. Don't be sad" I cooed.

Then, I scooped him uo and held him.

"Weally?" he asked and I nodded.

"Yes, bud. Mommy is happy not sad so don't cry, okay?" I said.

River nodded and I gave him a kiss to assure him.

After that, we waited for just a bit.

Mom, Liana and aunt Livi came to the room to see us.

"Oh my ghad, Ali. You look gorgeous" Lia said and hugged me.

I smiled and blushed.

"Honey, you look so beautiful" mom sais as she teared up and hugged me.

"You look stunning, darling" aunt Livi said and we hugged as well.

I did a turn for them and after that we turned our attention to River.

Everyone thought he was so cute.

Well, he is.

The 4 of us talked for a bit as we waited until they had to leave because the wedding ceremony was going to start soon.

I wasn't nervous or anxious.

Actually, maybe a little nervous but not anxious.

River held my hand and I smiled at him and he smiled back at me.

Then, we were called out.

My heart thumped inside my chest as River and I walked out.

We walked to the big doors of the Palace.

There were guards by the door and the organizer came to us.

"Your majesty" dhe said and she gave me the pillow with the wedding rings.

It was for River.

He was the ring bearer.

I crouched down to River's eye level

"Baby, remember what we practiced before?" I said.

River nodded.

"We'll do that a little later, okay?" I said.

River nodded.

"Kay, mommy" he said with a smile and I gave him the rings.

Then I felt a hand on my back and I looked.

"Mom. Dad" I said as I saw mom and dad.

They were going to walk me down the aisle.

"You look beautiful" Axel whispered to me and I smiled at him.

"Thanks, dad" I said.

"Your majesty, we're ready for you now" the organizer said.

I nodded.

I can hear the piano music from outside.

The organizer crouched down to River's eye level.

"Prince River, are you ready, your majesty?" she asked my son.

River nodded.

River was let out first.

Axel offered me his arm and I took it.

I also held mom's arm.

After a few moments, the organizer turned to us and nodded at us as a signal.

I nodded back at her.

The big doors opened and I saw the whole wedding set up.

Then, I met eyes with him.

Luke.

My fiance.

The father of my child.

My future husband.

Our eyes connected as I started walking down the aisle.

Then, I noticed him tear up and he looked up and wiped his eye.

I too teared up.

It was such a magical moment.

One that I didn't think I'd experience.

Luke and I were already shedding tears and the wedding barely just started.

We reached the front and Luke and I hugged my parents then Luke offered me his hand.

I took it.

We smiled at each other and each other and walked to the altar together.

Luke gave me a light squeeze and then let my hand go.

The ceremony started.

"Dear friends and family, we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the union of his highness King Luke Alaric-Grey and her majesty Alissa Soleil Ford-Ellis in marriage. Through their time together, they have come to realize that their personal dreams, hopes, and goals are more attainable and more meaningful through the combined effort and mutual support provided in love, commitment, and family; and so they have decided to live together as husband and wife once more" the officiant said. Luke and I glanced at each other with a smiled.

The wedding continued.

"Do you, Luke Alaric-Grey, take Alissa Soleil Ford-Alaric to be your wife, to cherish in friendship and love today, tomorrow, and for as long as the two of you live, to trust and honor her, to love her faithfully, through the best and the worst, whatever may come, and if you should ever doubt, to remember your love for each other and the reason why you came together with her this day?" the officiant asked Luke.

Luke looked at me and smiled.

"I do" Luke said.

Then, the officiant turned to me.

"Do you, Alissa Soleil Ford-Ellis, take Luke Alaric-Grey to be your husband, to cherish in friendship and love today, tomorrow and for as long as the two of you live, to trust and honor him, to love him faithfully, through the best and the worst, whatever may come, and if you should ever doubt, to remember your love for each other and the reason why you came together with him this day?" he asked me.

"I do" I answered.

Luke and I smiled at each other.

Then, thw officiant asked if anyone was against our marriage.

Luke immediately gave everyone a look.

Cal was present and he only smirked at Luke but didn't say anything.

I chuckled.

Then, the wedding continued.

After that came the vow exchange.

"Alissa Soleil Ford-Ellis, I promise to cherish you always, to honor and sustain you, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, and to be true to you in all things. Nothing and no one can keep me apart from you. Not even the Gods. Not even death. I promise to become the husband you deserve and the father that our children deserve. I promise to love, protect and worship you even after the end of time" he said.

I smiled.

It was my turn now.

"Luke Alaric-Grey, I promise to cherish you always, to honor and sustain you, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, and to be true to you in all things. I promise to stay by your side whatever comes our way. I will be the mother of your children, wife and Queen that you deserve. I will love and protect you even after the end of time" I said.

Luke smiled at me.

Now, it was time to exchange rings.

With this ring I, Luke Alaric-Grey, take you, Alissa Soleil Ford-Ellis, to be no other than yourself. Loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know, I will respect your integrity and have faith in your abiding love for me, through all our years, and in all that life may bring us.

Then we exchanged rings.

Everyone clapped and cheered for us.

"You may now kiss the bride" he said.

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife!" the officiant said then turned to us.

Luke smiled and he gently pulled me to him and he leaned in.

Our lips met and he held my face and I held onto his shoulders.

Finally.
