The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 237 Two Hundred and Thirty -Seven

Tears trickled from the corners of Lucianne’s eyes as the congregation clapped when Xandar came to the end of his wedding vows. Most of the women found it so heartfelt that they were already all teared-up. Even Christian pressed away the tears from his own eyes. 1

After Xandar’s thumb wiped away his mate’s tears on her face, Lucianne cleared her throat and began reciting her vows which went through infinite drafts before this day, “Xandar, when we met, I was so blinded by my past that I almost gave up the best thing that was presented to me. You've always expressed how lucky you felt to be bonded to me but from the way I see it, I’ve been the lucky one.”

“You asked me for a chance, a chance to show me that you're different but you're not just different, dearest. The way you love is phenomenal beyond words. I don’t know how you do it but you somehow always know what to say to make me feel... more than what I always thought I was. Your touch calms my insecurities; your words and kisses melt away my fears and doubts; and your presence assures me that I'll always be safe, and Pll always be loved in ways that I once thought was never opened to me.” 1

She took a breath to steady herself before she continued, “I promise to lend you my ears whenever you need someone to listen or talk to; to stay in your embrace when you need to calm any agitation or quiet any storm; to be by your side no matter how difficult or dangerous things get. I promise to always remind you how well you’realready doing as our King, how revolutionary your reign is and how extraordinary your legacy will be. And I know with every fibre of my being that you'll make a remarkable father.”

She gave his hands a gentle squeeze as she said, “You're more than what you think of yourself, Alexandar. You'll always have me as your mate and as your Queen. This little freesia is yours, my indecent beast. Only yours. And I love you, too, my acacia.”

Xandar’s tears started streaming down his face, and he was secretly blaming his animal for not helping him to hold it all in. Lucianne wiped away his tears, while the entire congregation wiped away their own. Weaver could be heard blowing his nose into a handkerchief. Toby and Christian, who betted against each other on whether Lucianne or Xandar would produce the more impressive vows, concurred that both were equally powerful, that it was a tie when they wiped away their tears for the second time.

After the marriage officiant sniffled once, he cleared his throat and asked for the rings, which were brought by little Liam and Russell on a violet, velvet pillow.

Xandar bent down and ruffled the boys’ hair with a warm smile, and took Lucianne’s princess-cut diamond ring from the pillow, sliding it into his mate’s finger as he uttered the words that had been engraved on the band, “I love you.”

Lucianne smiled even wider, then turned to the little boys and touched each of their cheeks before taking the other ring from the pillow, which was emerald-cut, and it shared the same set of diamonds as the ones on her own. After sliding Xandar’s ring into his finger, she uttered the words engraved on his band, “I know. I love you, too.”
