Chapter TWENTY-SEVEN (27)

Nova

Today is the day of the wedding, Last night Braxton stayed with his brothers Sawyer and Rory. While Athena and Everleigh stayed here with Bella. I am so nervous today. I woke up around 8:15 a.m. and I was fine at first. Zoe, I don't know if I can do this. I feel really shaky and seeing spots. I need Braxton. Nova it will be ok, Ari says calm down he feels your anxiety and stressing out. Braxton feels it too. Next think I know I am throwing up in the bathroom before I black out. When I wake up again it is 2 p.m. the ceremony is at 6 p.m. I felt a hand on my face and the tingles let me know it's my mate and I open my eyes to see him half dressed for the wedding. He smiled at me.

"Hey babe, glad your awake, you worried us all." Braxton said.

"I am so very sorry Braxton. I was talking to Zoe and then I started to shake and see spots. Next thing I know I was getting sick. That I all I remember." I said.

"You blacked-out after you got sick, Zoe was trying to calm you down from your panic attack. How long have you been having them?" He asked. I just looked down; I was afraid to answer him. He put a hand on my Cheech and my me look at him.

"Babe, no matter when they started its ok, we will get through it together. How often do they happen?" he asked.

"When I wake up alone without you. You keep them at bay, closer the wedding got the more frequent they came. I'm just nervous. But they started because of Christy and Madison and having me kidnapped. I have talked to Dr. Elijah, and he suggested medication, but I refused to take it. He said it could harm Zoe and make it harder to have pups. So, I just deal with them." I said.

"Oh babe, well I am never going anywhere without you. Well maybe to finish getting ready and for you to get ready. As, long as you still want to get married today. You do still want to marry me today, don't you?" Braxton asked. I nodded.

"1000 times yes and there because I am nervous and want it to be perfect, not that I don't want to marry you, silly weirdo. No go, I need to shower and get dressed and ready. I'll be the one in white." I said.

"Perfect, I will see you there my love, I love you Nova Sky Daniels." He said and he kissed her.

"I love you to Braxton Lee Waylon." I said as she kissed him back. He left the room, and she got a shower, she came downstairs after her shower. To see a Bella in her dress and she like a princess. Sylvie, Nora, Athena, and Everleigh were all in their dresses and looked beautiful.

"You all look amazing." I said.

"Oh, sweety are you ok? We all were so worried, we called Braxton when you weren't waking up." Sylvie said.

"Thank you all, I appreciate it. I am much better. Just another panic attack. But after today, I will be much better. So, let's get me ready to marry my mate who happened to be the love of my life." I said.

"Now that's what I like to hear" Athena said.

"Hey Sweety, I will do your hair." My mother said. Sylvie stayed downstairs with Bella and kept an eye on her While Athena, Everleigh and I went up to my room and we sat down at my vanity and about 45-minutes later she was finally finished with my hair. Next was to get my make-up done. I loved the look. Half up do with lots of curls with a tiara in my hair.

"I will do your make-up and without any objections either." Nora said, I nodded, and we all laughed. It took about an hour to do my make up. She did my eye in a smokey look, but they had a blue color to match my dress and color of choice. I loved it. Nora knew what I have pictured. But knew I couldn't ever do myself.

"Now it's time for your dress my dear." Athena said. "I will help you." She said. We got me into my dress. Which took me a little while. Oh my god as I looked at myself in the mirror it is beautiful. My mother and Athena added the veil to the tiara. Nova helped me with my shoes. It was 5:30 p.m. and we needed to head to the ceremony venue. I wasn't nervous anymore. As I was happy and excited.

We left the house and walk to the forest and through the path by my house and get to the clearing of the lake and I see how beautiful it is set up. The first person I see is my dad. He hugs me and give me a kiss on the Cheech. Max and Ryder escort Athena, and my mother to their seats. Then they came back and got into line. The music started. First Noah and Bella went out with Rory, then Ivy and Max, Ava and Ryder, Sylvie and Brock, Nora, and Leon. Sawyer and Braxton were already standing up there with Paster Grant. The music changes and it's time for me and my dad to go. He hesitates and kisses me on the Cheech and whispers 'I love your Nova and I'm proud of you.' I smiled and said, 'I love you too dad.' We began to walk down the aisle. When we finally reach the end of the aisle I am handed over to Braxton.

'Who gives this woman to marry this man?" Paster Grant asked.

"Her mother, Brother and I do- "he was interrupted.

"We do" Easton said standing next to my mother. My dad didn't know he was going to make it.

"We are gathered here today in front of your friends, family, and fellow pack members, to witness the tying together of Braxton Lee and Nova Sky in holy matrimony. Not only has the moon goddess pair you two with each other you have chosen the sacred vows of married as well. If anyone sees why these two should not be married, please speak now or forever hold your peace. (no one said a word) Well, I will continue then. Do you Braxton Lee Waylon take thee Nova Sky Daniels to be your wife?" Pastor Grant said.

"Yes, I do!" Braxton said.

"Do you Nova Sky Daniels take thee Braxton Lee Waylon to be your husband?" Pastor Grant asked.

"Yes, I do!" I said.

"Both Braxton and Nova have prepared their own vows for one another. After you recite your vows, please take your ring, and slide it on to the other ring finger and say, 'I Thee Wed'" Pastor Grant said. They both nodded.

"Nova, where do I start. I have loved you since the first time you walked into my office. I didn't care what your past was, it was your past for a reason. It doesn't define you. You are the moist selfless, caring, fun, outgoing, loving, and passionate person that I know. Losing you for that brief time made me realize that I couldn't ever life without you. You are my Mate, my Alpha/Luna, and my soulmate. You complete me. So, this my vow to you. I will do my very best to be the man, mate, and husband that you truly deserve. I will also try to be the best dad to our future pup when we have them. Nova, I love you with all of my heart and soul. (I slid the ring onto her ring finger. I looked at her right in the eyes and spoke the words that was requested) I Thee Wed." Braxton said. She had tears. Happy ones, because she was smiling.

"Braxton, I love you so much that it hurts. You have shown me that I can love again. Not only you, but myself. Especially after everything that has happened in the last several months. You have made me feel like the happiest lady in the whole wide world. I am so thankful that the mood goddess gave me you. You are strong, intelligent, funny, witty, good looking, caring and loving. You always know how to cheer me up when I am sad or having a break down or when I am feeling overwhelmed. You have shown me what true love really is. That I show I know that I have always loved you. This is my vow to you. I will do my very best. To be the best mate and wife to you and be the best mom to our future kids. I love you more than anything. (I slid the ring into his ring finger as I looked right into his eyes and spoke the words that was requested) I Thee Wed." I said.

"I pronounce you husband and wife; you may kiss your bride." Pastor Grant says. Braxton reaches and pulls me close to him. "Mrs. Wayland." I smiled and we kissed the very first time as husband and wife.

"Let me the first to introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Braxton Waylon" Paster Grant said, and everyone shouted approval. Everyone headed towards the reception venue right up the lake. The sun had begun to set and with the lights lite up it was absolutely beautiful.

At the reception, the DJ introduce all the bridal party as they entered the reception. That took about 30-minutes or so. "Please let me welcome our Alpha and Luna as Mr. and Mrs. Braxton Waylon." The DJ Dylan said. Everyone cheered and clapped as Braxton, and I entered the reception. We walked up to the table where the rest of the bridal party was sitting at, and we all sat down. Dinner was being served, and as we were at eating, they decided to do their speeches.

"I want to wish Nova and Braxton all the happiness and love that you both deserve, I hope that you both finally get your happily ever after that you both deserve. I am so glad that I finally got my cousin back. I hasn't seen you since I was little, we lived so far away from one another. That's why we have been best friends all this time. So, Braxton you better take care of her, You hear me... I love you both." Nora said. We nodded and everyone laughed. Leon walks to say his speech.

"Nova, when you called to rent the cabin, I just thought you were an ordinary she-wolf who was passing through. Not Nora, she saw something in you, she knew you were the one that was meant to be with Braxton. When I was summoned to his office that day. He knew I had been around his mate. It drove him crazy that I knew you and he hadn't found you. But You have been a special part of my family and Braxton's family since you stepped into this town, and we are so thankful that you chose here of all places to go. We love you Nora and Braxton. I wish you all the happiness in the world." Leon said. We smiled at him. Sawyer, Rory, and the kids walked up for his speech.

"Nova and Braxton, what can I say we love you both. I am speaking for Rory, Bella, Noah, and myself when I say it your turn for the babies to come. (Everyone laughed) Rory and I want a niece or nephew. We are so happy that you two found each other. I am glad that it was me that found you that day when your first let you turn Nova. We are so thankful to have Braxton as our Alpha and older brother and you Nova as our Luna and now officially as our sister. Congratulations and welcome to the family." Sawyer said.

"Yes, everything that Sawyer said is true, But I would say that you Nova are my best friend, and I am so happy you are here with us all. I love you and Braxton and Congratulations." Rory said. Next Was Brock and Sylvie.

"Braxton and Nova, You two are the most amazing and outgoing people that we have ever meant. Nova, you have been such an inspiration to my mate Sylvie, and she just loves you. As most of us do. Also, thank you for giving me a chance here to. But you two deserve all the best, with love, happiness, and joy in the world. Congratulations to you both." Brock said.

"Nova, since you came here and met me at the hospital, we because friends. I know you were going through a challenging time, and I was having a tough time myself. But you told me to never give up. That advice was the best thing that could have happened to me. You are amazing and deserve the best. Congratulations to you and Braxton." Sylvie said. Next came up was the parent of the groom (Braxton) Garrett and Athena.

"Son, your mother, and I couldn't be proud of you and your mate Nova. We love you both and you both make us so very proud. Congratulations and enjoy your honeymoon wherever you two decide to go." Garret said. Braxton laughed.

"Nova, that one is a keeper, he loves and cherishes you. (I said' I agree') Braxton, treat her right, you hear me? (He nods and says, 'yes mother'). I loved you both and you deserve your happy ever after. Congratulations." Athena said.

"Nova, you will always be my older sister. My best friend and the one I can turn to when I need help especially when I need help with my mate Violet and the twins. We all love you so much. You are a part of our family. Braxton, treat my sister right, as I know you will. Congratulations you two." Easton said.

"Where do I begin, Nova you have always been my little girl. But you have been a young lady and knew what you wanted in life since you were 15. That was a mate who could show you what true love was and a family. I have a feeling that you are getting your wish with Braxton. I knew when Braxton had come to visit my pack that he smelled his mate, by my dear Nova was a few months shy if turning 18. When me mentioned her scent, I knew who it was, and it was my daughter. When I offered to help him, he refused. Said that 'fate would bring them together' By the looks of it fate sure did bring the two of you together. Congratulations to you both. May you live in happy and enjoy one another. I love you both." Knox said.

"Nova and Braxton I couldn't be happier and prouder of the two of you right now. Then I am, Braxton no matter what you go above and beyond for Nova which shows that you have the purest love for your mate and wife that there is. I have no doubt that when the time comes that you will be a great dad and Nova you will be a great mom. Congratulations to you both, I love you both and I couldn't be happier for you too. "Everleigh said.

"We are sending you on a two-week all-expense paid honeymoon trip to Kauai, Hawaii. You will be staying in the honeymoon suite at the Emerald Bay Inn. "Athena, Everleigh, Knox, and Garret said.

"It is now time for the bride and groom first dance. So, Come on out to the dance floor Nova and Braxton." Dylan said. As, so as Braxton and I got to the middle of the dance floor. Dylan and his band started playing the music for the song and Sylvie started to sing. She had an amazing voice. They were playing A Thousand Years. We started to dance.

"I love you Braxton, my mate, and who happened to now be husband." I said. He smiled and kissed me.

"Oh, Nova. I love you so much. I am so thankful that you are my mate and now my wife." He said. I kissed him again.

We waved for everyone to join us in dancing. The father daughter dance was Butterfly Kisses. The mother-son dance was You Raise Me Up. We had the cha-cha slide and the cupid shuffle. We also danced to Gangnam Style, Any Man of Mine, Fancy Like me, and Shallow. Then there was Kings & Queens, shut up and Dance with me, Do You Remember, You & I, A Moment Like This, Fall into Me and If You love her. There were many more songs played at the reception. We all ate a wonderful mean that was prepared for us tonight. They everyone danced the night away. The reception was absolutely lovely. After our reception we went back to the cabin to pack our bags. But before we left someone yelled out names and wanted to talk to us.

"Nova, Braxton, before you leave, I wanted to talk to you really quick." Garrett said. We turned and looked at Braxton's dad Garrett.

"Hey dad what up." Braxton said. I just smiled. As my feel were starting to hurt from these damn shoes. Werewolf or not shoes can hurt us.

"Well, the hotel that you're staying at is in the Emerald Bay Pack. The Alpha is your Cousin Matthew Drew Waylon. Your Uncle Matthew and Aunt Renee's son." Garrett said.

"Holy shit. That's where they moved too? I haven't seen him since we were kids' dad." Braxton said.

"I know and he is expecting you. He and his mates Owen and Alexis are waiting for you." Garrett said. I looked at him and smiled.

"Well, I am looking forward to meeting your cousin and his mates Hun." I said. I smiled and so did he.

"Thanks dad." Braxton said.

"Anytime, enjoy kids love you both." Garrett said to us.

'We love you to, dad." We both said and hugged him and then headed to the house to get out things.

Braxton

When my mother called me this morning about Nova. I was worried. I wasn't answering my mind-link because I was nervous about our wedding. I wasn't sure she still wanted to marry me. I don't know why i was having my doubts lately. It could be because she went from a size 14 to a size 8 recently. She hardly sleeps anymore and when she does, she is having a nightmare. She hardly eats and when she does, she eats no more than what a baby would eat. Ari says Zoe is weak, from all the trauma that she had endured lately. but she is getting better. She is healing just slowly. I love Nova with all my heart, and she is my mate. Ari and Zoe are mates. I am marrying her today. because i love her without a doubt. i hope that she knows that and remembers that, always.
