The Big Sky Alpha novel Chapter 49

COLT POV

Goddess she’s beautiful!

Her strapless dress hugging her breasts like it’s a part of them, and clinging to the rest of her upper body showing off her voluptuous curves. She has on a thick brown belt right above where the dress lightly puffs out with several layers of fabric.

It isn’t so much puff that it looks hard to walk in, but enough to make her look like a queen. My queen. Her hair is loosely braided with some wild stray curls hanging around her face. Her veil is very thin, almost looks like it’s not there but it’s held with a beautiful crown of wildflowers so it goes all around her face and hair down just below her breasts.

She’s a stunning vision of perfection, and she’s mine. The overwhelming sense of pride and joy I felt as I watched her walk down the aisle to me with Harland was powerful. I tried to fight it, but I’m pretty sure I shed a tear of utter happiness.

“Who gives this woman to Alpha Colt today?” the pack pastor began.

“I do.” Harland said as he kissed Freya’s bare hands and whispered “I love you sweet girl.” then he turned to sit next to Misty, who was crying the river worth of tears right now.

The pastor began the traditional ceremony. I couldn’t help but just smile at my beautiful mate. She was smiling so beautifully. Her emerald eyes were brought out by the wildflowers in her hair and the green trees and grass all around us. The archway above us I wanted simple, just some large branches tired together curving over and around us with white fabric hanging from it and blowing in the wind.

I could hardly focus on what the pastor was saying, the simplicity of everything made her stand out beyond all comparison, which was my point in the planning. I had no idea what she was going to wear today, but I know she’s the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen so I knew I wanted her beauty to be what stood out.

“Alpha Colt Bennett, do you take Freya Edwards to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to love and cherish her, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, for better for worse, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her, for so long as you both shall live?” the pastor read off, and without any inkling of hesitation I responded, “I do.” and watched her beautiful face light up.

“Freya Edwards, do you take Alpha Colt Bennett to be your lawfully wedded husband? Do you promise to love and cherish him, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, for better for worse, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him, for so long as you both shall live?” the pastor read off to her, my heart sank as he ended the line before she said “I do.” as a tear fell from her eye.

Levi handed me her ring and the pastor said, “Repeat after me. I offer you this ring as a symbol of my undying love and our unbreakable bond.”

I placed the ring that belonged to my mother on her ring finger, the gold accented by her beautiful skin and the diamond glistening in the evening sun. “My dear Freya, I offer you this ring as a symbol of my undying love and our unbreakable bond.”

Jessi handed her a ring and the pastor advised her to repeat the same thing. “Colt… ” her voice lightly cracking as she tried to keep herself from crying. Hearing my name leave her lips knowing what she was about to say brought another tear to my eye. “I offer you this ring as a symbol of my undying love and our unbreakable bond.” and she placed a black metal ring on my finger.

The pastor began to address not just us but the crowd of people, whom I almost forgot was even there, in a stern but very happy voice, “In so much as Alpha Colt and Freya have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before the mighty Goddess and this company, having given and pledged their faith, each to the other, and having declared same by the giving and receiving of rings, I pronounce that you are husband and wife. You may kiss your bride Alpha.” and I didn’t need to be told twice.

I lifted the veil up from her face and laid it down behind her and wrapped that woman in my arms and kissed her like there was never anything else I wanted to do with the rest of my life. When I finally broke the kiss and relaxed my arms around her pulling back just to look at the most beautiful face of my wife the pastor concluded with, “Everyone I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Bennett!” and everyone erupted into cheers, whistles, howls, claps, and all kinds of other noise.

Hey mother ran up and hugged her tightly as I looked over to the two seats I requested to stay emptied as a symbol of my parents who I know would be here cherishing the day with us if they were still alive.

“I’m sure they’d be proud of you, son.” Harland said, clearly knowing the thoughts running through my head. I smiled at him and looked over at Freya. “That ring is the only thing I have left of my mother, it looks just as beautiful on her hand as it did my mother’s.” and Harland smiled patting my shoulder.

“Let’s go eat!” Harland’s voice boomed as everyone cheered again. I walked up to Freya and wrapped my arm around her waist.

“I can’t believe the goddess gave me you. I’ll never deserve such an amazing woman but I’m so happy I get to spend my life trying.” she looked over and kissed me.

“I promise I’ll be easy on you.” she winked and giggled.
