“Dude, I can hear your heart pounding from here,” Emmett
said as he stood next to me under the dais. “Why are you freaking out?”
“I’m not freaking out,” I argued. “I’m anxious to see Bella.
I can’t wait to be bonded with her forever. I can feel her, sense her love and
the air is crackling with the magic of the ceremony.”
“It’s the perfect night for this,” Eleazar said. “The first
night of a blue moon, at midnight. Your mating ceremony is blessed.” He
murmured an incantation and the backyard was bathed in a warm glow, with globes
of white light, twinkling around the backyard. “It’s time, Lord Edward.”
Emmett stood by my side, along with Marcus. Peter was acting
as officiant, dressed in deep eggplant-colored robes. Eleazar was seated with
Carmen. Jasper was next to Charlotte. Tanya and a few other of our allies were
acting as witnesses. I could see the glow of a camera, indicating it was being
live-streamed on the Intranet. I wrinkled my nose at that, but being fae
royalty meant that we had certain expectations to uphold. Our mating ceremony,
our glienne was to be a public event,
not the private intimate ceremony that I’d hoped for. Yes, our guests were our
inner circle but everyone was going to be watching.
Music began playing, but it wasn’t music in the traditional
sense. Nature was providing the soundtrack with birdsong, gentle breezes and
shimmering chimes. It added to the magic of the night. Alice walked down the
aisle first, wearing a beautiful, flowy dress in a deep lavender color. It
enhanced her elfin features. She looked otherworldly, but radiantly happy as
she glided down the aisle, holding a small bouquet of white, purple and green.
She squeezed my hand as she took her spot on the dais. I blew out a breath as
Rosalie followed my sister. Her dress was sheer and shimmering, a pale purple
that almost appeared white. Her blonde hair was flowing over her shoulders in
golden waves. She winked at me, her eyes sparkling as she gazed down the aisle.
My heart stammered. I felt Bella’s presence before I saw
her. The music swelled and everyone stood up, giving her the respect she
deserved. I took a breath and in all of her glory, I saw my mate, my sihrena, my Bella. She looked like
perfection personified, wearing a cream dress that deepened to a wisteria color
with coordinating flowers dancing down her gown. She looked like royalty, her
beauty enhanced by her gown, her hair and the magic surrounding her. With a
calming breath, she looked up at me and her eyes glowed a warm orange while her
body luminesced with her excitement. I felt her power calling to me. She moved
faster to me. I stepped down, reaching my hand to her and she took it. Her
emotions, which were churning as she walked toward me, calmed almost immediately.
Helping her onto the dais, I stared at her. “There are no words to describe how
beautiful you are,” I whispered.
She blushed, warming the entire backyard. “I’ve missed you,
Edward,” she murmured. “I feel whole.”
