But I would have given all four of my men my heart, body, and soul even if we’d simply donned nice clothes and had a judge or other officiant come to our house to declare me and Amir husband and wife.

“Wow,” Cyrus said, taking my hand and bending so he could press a kiss to my knuckles. “You look so beautiful.”

“You really do,” Enzo said.

Ax remained silent, his eyes wide as he scanned me from head to toe, his lips parted as though unable to speak a coherent sentence.

And man did I get that sentiment. All three looked amazing. And Axhadpulled his hair back and tamed it into a neat ponytail at the nape of his neck.

Since I’d chosen the style and decorations for the ceremony, I’d let Amir decide on the guys’ attire. Not that there were a whole lot of choices.

But he’d gone with simple black tuxes with white shirts and black bowties.

“You guys…you all look so handsome,” I said as my smile grew.

That snapped Ax out of his silence. “Oh, please. I look hot.” He tugged on his lapels and smoothed his jacket before extending his elbow. “You ready to marry our omega?” His voice was softer, sweeter, just like the look on his handsome face.

“I’m so ready,” I admitted.

I was still a little nervous, but not about the marrying part. I was nervous I would trip and make a fool of myself or stammer over my words. There wasn’t a chance in hell I could ever doubt how I felt about my omega or my alphas.

Cora appeared at the bottom of the stairs and raised her brows, so I shot her a smile and a thumbs up.

This was it. I was ready.

The guys would escort me downstairs, through the house, and down the makeshift aisle Athena and Alysia had designed alongside Cora and Aryn. I really didn’t know what I would have done in such a short period of time had it not been for the women in my life, with my new mother-in-law, my new sisters, my only biological sister, and my best friend.

Cora hurried away and my alphas guided me down the stairs, ensuring I was steady on my heels on each step.

The trip to the backyard was a blur; all I could focus on was the ridiculous number of flowers and candles everywhere. All this had to have cost my alphas a fortune.

Once the French doors opened, the soft music filtering to my ears and I caught sight of Amir in all his glory waiting for me under an arch made entirely of fresh flowers…

All thoughts of cost, fears, memories, nightmares, and my past floated away like a wisp of smoke from an extinguished candle. All that mattered was the man grinning at me with the most heartwarming smile and the three alphas surrounding me on my left, my right, and following closely behind.

The guests who’d been invited – coworkers, Cora and her pack, some of Amir’s family, and even my brothers – all stood when Cora spotted me and pushed to her feet.

Smiles were on most faces, but there was only one I could focus on.

It felt as if I was floating down the beautiful ivory runner covered in petals scattered by Annalise and Amini.

Our alphas handed me over to Amir then took their place near the officiant. I might have been mistaken, but all three looked a little misty eyed as we were told to repeat after the beta guiding our vows.

The moment we were announced legally married, Amir wrapped his arms around me, dipped me backward, and sealed his mouth over mine, deepening the kiss regardless of who was watching.

I didn’t mind. If our guests didn’t like this beautiful show of affection, they could close their damn eyes.

We were nearly skipping back down the aisle, our hands clasped tightly, and led the entirety of the group to the tables set up around the lawn.

The guests chatted as the caterers Athena had found on such short notice served our food.

Once dinner was over, it was time to party. And party we did.

Ax had a blast showing off. Amir and I danced until I gave up and kicked off my heels. Cora and her alphas danced with my pack. Even my brothers seemed to be enjoying themselves, though they barely spoke to me.

It would take time to build a relationship with them the way I had with Cora. We had all been raised by the same jackass tyrants and had a whole lot of habits and twisted ways of thinking to break.

But we had time now. I no longer had to worry about Antonio or anyone else out there with some messed up vendetta.
