I am seated, awaiting with considerable impatience. I am uncertain how I will resolve this issue if Victoria is unable to assist me. I might devise a method to optimise our backyard. Following a tense interval of ten minutes, Victoria returns the call.
Me: What was the outcome?
Victoria: Greetings! It is now yours!
Me: Thank you! She is a human being. That was narrowly avoided. Thank you very much!
Victoria: You are welcome. I am uncertain whether you will express gratitude upon receiving the bill. Shall we proceed with the flowers?
I will delegate all those decisions to you. I have confidence in your perspective. You possess superior proficiency in this area compared to me.
Victoria: I am capable of managing all aspects. You simply need to arrive at the location.
Me: All of it? Will you manage the photographer? Is there cake? What about the officiant? I believed I would be required to undertake that task.
Victoria: I possess an adequate number of contacts. I can manage this significantly faster. I am also aware of who is superior. I will instruct my entire staff to cease all projects for one day to address this matter. 19:00, rooftop of 3755 Front Street.
I appreciate your assistance greatly!
Victoria: Reserve your gratitude until you review the bill. [she laughs.]
The finest quality is never inexpensive, and this is no trivial accomplishment.
I establish a mind link with Paxton and Alexis.
-Proceed to my office in the packhouse-

“Greetings, everyone. I possess confidential information.” Celine and I are to be wed tomorrow.
They appeared astonished, indicating they were not anticipating that outcome. “Impressive!” Congratulations!Paxton states as he approaches to shake my hand. Alexis concurs and articulates the same sentiment.
“That is excellent news.” What is the reason for your expedited marriage?“Alexis inquires.”
“Due to his Alpha status, he exhibits extreme possessiveness!”Paxton exhibits a smile. I express my disdain but refrain from engaging in an argument.
“You two are ideally suited for one another; I’m merely teasing you, my friend,” Paxton laughs.
“Where are you holding your wedding on such short notice?” Is it the courthouse?“Alexis enquires with curiosity.”
I have secured a rooftop venue in the city and engaged a party planner for the event. Celine is unaware of our wedding location or the specifics, and I wish to maintain this secrecy. She shared the same intention as you, Alexis. A wedding at the courthouse, attended by our family and close friends.
She merits superior treatment. I wish to keep our marriage a secret from the pack, as I would be unable to orchestrate a wedding for 1,400 pack members in a single day. The pack will discover our marriage during the Luna ceremony. “You are both, of course, invited.”
“That is remarkable.” What actions can we undertake to provide assistance?Paxton exerts pressure.
“Please review my schedule and cancel all appointments I have this afternoon and tomorrow, Paxton.” He acknowledges with a nod. I require a marriage licence and the rental of several limousines. Alexis, please verify with the cleaning staff to ensure that the guest rooms in the packhouse are adequately prepared, as our guests will be arriving a day earlier than scheduled.”
“Certainly!””

I spent the afternoon completing wedding-related errands and arrived in the driveway shortly after 6. Celine’s SUV has arrived, indicating her return from dress shopping. I successfully obtained the marriage license, arranged limo rentals, and met with Victoria on the rooftop. She has not commenced extensive decorating; however, it is inherently beautiful.
I am now at ease regarding the wedding. The weather is expected to be excellent tonight and tomorrow, prompting Victoria to commence decorating this evening. She presented me with images of her planned endeavours, and they will be extraordinary. Her staff is conducting raids on every flower shop within a 100-mile radius. Upon entering the house, I hear music playing and a delectable aroma permeates the air, prompting me to exclaim, “Mmm.” My partner consistently engages in cooking or baking, and she excels at it.
She was correct regarding the significance of home-cooked meals and the camaraderie they foster. They significantly contribute to transforming a house into a home. I cherish my parents, yet their condominium in the packhouse never evoked the sense of home that this place does. I reside with two individuals who consistently bring me joy.
I have never experienced such abundant laughter and joy in my life. I detest attending work, yet I cherish returning home to them. I enter the kitchen, where Celine is cradling Alyssa and they are dancing together. I pause to appreciate the exquisite view and admire my partner and our child.
“You surprised me,” Celine chuckles upon noticing me. I approach them with a smile.
Alyssa exclaims, “Daddee,” while extending her arms. We have developed a close relationship, and I can discern that she loves me now. She requests that I kiss her injuries when she is hurt. Upon my arrival, she approaches me, requesting to engage in play and reading, while consistently ‘cooking’ for me with her toy food. She resembles her mother. I lift her with one arm and draw Celine in with the other. Embracing the two most significant individuals in my life within our kitchen, I experience profound gratitude.
Only weeks ago, I was preparing to attend Gavin’s Alpha ceremony, contemplating the possibility of relinquishing my mate; however, on our three-week anniversary, we are getting married. It may seem irrational from a human perspective, but we are destined partners. We are aware that we are fated to unite. It is amusing how rapidly life can transform.
“How were you able to allocate time for cooking?” Did you acquire a wedding dress today?I raise an eyebrow in inquiry.
