Chapter 9: The Wedding Preparations

Harper’s POV

I spent the morning sleeping because I was exhausted from the day before. Subconsciously I knew I would be run off my feet today, so I wanted to take a little more time to stay in bed and have some time to myself.

Asher hasn’t stopped in to check on me, aside from the plate of food he left on the bedside table while I was asleep. I was a bit embarrassed when I woke from a dream about water being poured down his torso. I would like to pretend that didn’t happen.

The compound is in chaos when I leave the bedroom. Multiple people are running through the hallways with flowers and pieces of cardboard. Some members stop to say good morning before they rush off again.

The kitchen is the only room that is quiet. A large window above the sink reveals the backyard. A massive gazebo has been put up, and it is in that moment I realize what’s going on.

Wedding preparations are in full swing.
