My tears came down freely as I absorbed every word.
“Lacy, would you like to say something to your pack?” asked Hayden. “Before I proceed.”
I nodded.
“I never thought in a million years I’d find a devoted pack like you all,” I said, my voice shaking with emotion. “In the past, I’ve been hurt, and I refused to open my heart. But when I met you, everything changed. There is something in my heart now. A light in my soul that I can’t explain. I love all of you.”
Ethan sniffed, and Lucas wiped his eyes at my words. I tore my hands away from Ryder to wipe my tears again. I could hear sniffling from the crowd, too. Gosh, I never expected to cry so much like this on my wedding day.
“Do you, Lacy of the Westwood Pack, vow to cherish and love Ryder of the Silverthorne Pack? Do you take all five men to be your lawfully wedded husbands?” asked Hayden.
“I do,” I said, nodding and biting my lip. These five men would be my husbands in less than a minute, and my life would be forever changed.
“Do you, Ryder, take Lacy as your lawfully wedded wife? To protect and cherish until death do you part?”
“I do,” said Ryder in his unwavering voice.
With a mischievous glint, he declared, “By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may all seal your love with a kiss!”
The crowd erupted in applause when Ryder and I leaned towards each other. He grinned at me, and I smiled back. He kissed me gently, pressing his lips over mine in a quiet passion but full of intensity he was waiting to give. Butterflies swirled in my stomach as he kissed me, letting the world know I was his.
I kissed each man in turn, and Lucas prolonged the kiss the longest- to the cheers of everyone. I pulled back, blushing but excited to be a married omega now. Colorful confetti cannons went off, showering us with a cascade of paper hearts.
Ben and Ty put on a final Electric Rose performance of the night for me, and I watched them teary-eyed and shocked they did this for me.
As we walked back to the limo, hand in hand, the circus performers and acrobats formed a joyful procession, dancing and celebrating around us. I was overwhelmed but pleasantly surprised at everything my men put together so fast for me. The circus music played, and the atmosphere was filled with laughter and happiness. My life had taken a whole new direction that I was whole-heartedly prepared for, that I’d denied myself for years.
I was ready to be an omega for a pack who loved and cherished me.
Thirty-Six
LACY
When we got home after our impromptu wedding, I carefully set my tiara on my bedroom dresser. The men were sitting in the massive jacuzzi in my house, waiting for me to show up.
But I needed a couple of minutes to myself first.
I had to process everything that had happened, and my new husbands respected it. Ryder had told me to take all the time I needed. I leaned against my dresser, staring at myself in the mirror. My makeup was all smeared from the rain and happy tears. My ruffled pink skirt was muddy and gross.
Making my way into my bathroom, I quickly stripped down and washed all the makeup off.
It took a few minutes by the time I finished. After being out in the rain, the thought of a warm jacuzzi sounded nice, and I was already missing my men. I wrapped a towel around my naked body in my lonely bathroom, cold and shivering as I walked out. I headed downstairs to where the jacuzzi was and found the men playing checkers in the middle of the water.
When I sauntered in, their eyes turned to me hungrily.
“She’s here,” said Lucas under his breath. I blushed and dropped my towel to the floor. I swallowed as I felt their eyes feasting on my body.
“You’re so fucking beautiful. Why don’t you come sit on your alpha husband's lap?” said Ryder, patting his thigh in the water. I pursed my lips teasingly and crossed my arms over my chest.
“You didn’t even get a chance to look at me,” I said.
“Your alpha wants to touch,” said Ryder. “Come here before…”
“Before what?” I said, my breathing quickening.
He tilted his head to one side as I stepped into the jacuzzi. Something inside me wanted to get punished, like the night I went to the haunted house. It felt wrong, but I wanted to piss him off again somehow. I hadn’t forgotten how turned on I was that night.
The warm water hit my cold leg, and I sighed in wonderment. It felt so fucking good. Ryder pulled me onto his lap, and I leaned my head against him, relaxing as the water washed over me. His hands curled around my waist, holding me against him possessively.
