So this is the wedding chapter. It doesn't have much dialogue and it gets emotional in the end. I do hope you'll still find it entertaining.

Enjoy!

Chapter 19

The two days passed by rather quickly. And the day of the wedding was here. Millie was excited, anxious and happy all at the same time. They had to be present in court at 11. Her mom was a nervous wreck. She seemed to be having an anxiety attack every two minutes. Her sister had come down for her wedding with her family but her brother's family couldn't make it. Thank God for Preety though. She kept cracking jokes and kept Millie calm. Of course her Aunt Vinni and a few friends of the family were also present but there were very few people from Millie's family. She was sure Paul's side would outnumber theirs.

Millie had been awake since 6 am and was already feeling slightly tired by 9. It wasn't that long but she had been thinking and musing over things. Her dad still hadn't spoken to her very much. Their relationship seemed altered somehow and she didn't like it. She had always been daddy's girl while her siblings were more attached to their mom. But he had been distant. And since they were both stubborn and foolish neither made an attempt to talk. Just then Preety came over and put an end to her thoughts. Preety had been working on her for what seemed a long time now. They were supposed to leave at 10:15 to reach the courthouse and meet Paul and everyone there. She was ready so wasn't worried about getting late. She was wearing a peach coloured dress that Paul had gotten her. He insisted she wear it. It was really pretty with lace and net work and had a belt made of fabric woven into flowers. She loved it. Preety had made her short hair wavy and pinned one side with a comb that had pearls and flowers that matched her outfit. The cousins hugged feeling emotional and happy.

Paul was upset. He was happy they were getting married but they would not be able to go on a honeymoon. That day when Quil and Brady had come over they brought bad news. Some rogue vampires had been crossing their lands repeatedly as if to taunt them and had not been caught yet. And so all reinforcements had been called in. They were popping up at any and all hours so everyone was needed. The vamps were fast so nobody could be overworked and everyone had to work in shifts. Millie didn't seem affected by the news too much though and Paul was glad she wasn't upset. He had to tell her that they had some important deadline to meet at work. He couldn't help but feel like a jerk and be pissed. He hadn't told her about himself yet and lying to her made him feel sick. He was angry and he made it known, not that anybody had done anything to prevent him from going on a honeymoon but he still took it out on his pack. Nobody complained though. They understood. Their weddings and plans had gone uninterrupted but they all knew that it was imperative to catch the vamps before they got anybody. With their families living on the Rez everyone was on the edge. Paul understood this as well and vowed to catch the motherfuckers and burn them to dust. He usually liked to torture them a bit before finishing them off but this time he would finish his job quickly.

Paul was ready now. It was 10 but Sam and Emily had come over to help him and keep him calm. He appreciated it. The presence of imprints forced the wolves to keep their calm. Nobody wanted to hurt an imprint. Everyone was going to meet at the courthouse so they drove a bit early because Paul was impatient and Sam and Emily knew better than to judge or comment so they complied.

The court wedding was uneventful. It happened quickly and then everyone was piling in their vehicle to take off to the Rez hall to actually begin celebrating. Paul and Millie had huge smiles on their faces. Sure it wasn't the most romantic wedding but it suited them just fine. Millie saw Paul fidgeting with his tie the moment he had entered the courthouse and giggled. She had a feeling none of the guys liked wearing formals. But they all looked awesome. Paul had looked at her and then didn't take his eyes off her. Millie had a permanent blush. They were riding with Jared and Kim. Paul kept touching her in some way. It was like he couldn't stop. She didn't mind of course. Loving the feel of his touch. She sat close to him and rested her head on his arm while he stroked her face and kissed her temple and cheek.

The party went on for longer than they had anticipated. Paul had wanted nothing more than to have lunch with everyone and then whisk his new bride off to their home and make sweet love to her. But the guys loved to party and they were doing just that. Making fun of Paul when he seemed like he was ready to ask everyone to go home but Millie shot him looks and he would look down like a little puppy being denied his treat. Millie would then whisper to him and kiss him softly and he'd get that goofy grin on his face. Everyone loved this side of Paul. He seemed tame almost. And so happy. He was almost childlike giddy with happiness and it radiated off him and the guys liked it. Happy wolves made a happy pack. They still teased him though. All the pack members had their chance to dance with Millie making him jealous. To make matters worse they thrust Aunt Vinni on him to dance with. That was downright cruel but he endured it when he saw Millie laughing at his predicament.

When it was almost dinner time Sam decided they had made Paul wait long enough to get alone time with his bride and asked the guys to call it a night. Some of them insisted moving the party to the beach and having a bonfire but before Millie could reply to that Paul quickly declined. Just when they were saying their goodbyes to everyone, the guys slapping Paul on the back and giving man hugs, Millie's mom, sister and Preety were getting weepy. Paul grew anxious he didn't want Millie to cry. He was about to go to her but Emily stopped him and shook her head. He stopped looking at Millie she seemed okay. She was teary yes but nothing uncontrollable. Then he tensed seeing her dad approach her. Everyone was watching now. They had been so tense around each other and Paul didn't want him to spoil her mood. Everyone else seemed to be on guard as well. Now that she was officially Paul's, they knew one wrong move on her dad's part could lead to a lot of trouble and nobody would be able to explain why the suited booted groom had turned into a furry thing with tail if things went wrong.

Millie was staring at her dad. She was feeling emotional but she tried to control herself. But then her dad hugged her and she lost it. Father and daughter bawled their eyes out. He kept stroking her hair whispering loving words in Hindi. Millie felt like a little girl again in her father's arms. She always felt safe and like nothing bad could touch her when she was in her father's arms. She had missed this, missed them. But now they reconciled. Their differences forgotten, their grudges forgiven, today had been the day she would stop being his girl alone and had become somebody's wife. Her dad never blamed her for being mad at him but he couldn't explain his reasons either. They seemed old fashioned but at the end of the day he was just a father looking out for his daughter. But seeing her walk away was going to hurt. He didn't want them to part on bad terms. So he took her in his arms and whispered loving words like he used to when she was his little girl. He had to treasure this moment. His little girl was turning into a woman. He felt he didn't have enough time with her. He clutched her close and found she held him just as tightly.

Everyone watched as father and daughter clung to each other as if they were seeing each other after a long time and wouldn't again for a long time, which was partly true. Millie's entire family was in tears by now and some of the wolf girls too could be seen wiping tears. When it seemed as if they wouldn't separate, Millie's mom intervened and hugged her once more then Preety and one by one everyone hugged her. Millie was shaking by this time. All her suppressed feelings had boiled over. Preety brought her a glass of water and tried to calm her but she still struggled to find her composure. She wouldn't see her parents for a long time. She was on her own now. Her new life was beginning.

Paul went up to her now unable to just stand and watch her crying and being miserable. He hugged her to him and she went limp in his arms. She didn't have any more energy left. Paul could see her parents worried faces but he assured them that she will be fine.

"I'm going to take her home now. I don't want her fainting on me. Don't worry I'll make sure she has a hearty dinner. We'll call you tomorrow. You're here for a week and we'll visit and you can come over whenever." Paul said addressing her parents.

"Thank you. Take care of her", Millie's dad said wiping his eyes.

Paul and gang then took their leave. Some guys still went over to the beach to continue to party but Paul took off home after saying his goodbyes and thanking Sam, Emily, Jared and Kim in particular for all their help.
