Chapter 23 – Epilogue
~Mac's POV~
God, I was nervous. I knew this was coming, I knew this would happen, and still I am nervous. My stomach fluttered nauseously and my palms and armpits were sweating. I covertly dragged a hand across my upper lip.
"Don't! You'll wip your makeup off!" Apparently not covertly enough. Damn.
Oh, right. Of course, that's much more important than me freaking the hell out. "They need to make cover up sweat proof, damnit."
My mom smiled kindly at me, sitting beside me on the bench. "Sweetie, every girl goes through this."
I sighed dramatically and threw my head back. "That line is so cliché."
Mom just laughed cheerily and grabbed my hand. "That line is so true."
I turned and stared at her. She wasn't young by any means, but she was stuck as an 18 year old like most of my family. I tried to imagine her on her wedding day. Beautiful and radiant. And I'm sure not having a nervous breakdown right outside the church's doors where her imprint and love of her life as waiting for her. "Were you nervous?"
"Yes."
I took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. We stood up when my father came over, his smile wide and proud. Kissing my forehead, he said, "Kitten, you are so beautiful."
I giggled. "Thanks, Dad."
Mom squeezed my hand before telling me we had to go inside and wait our turn. I nodded like a soldier, taking this very seriously. And feeling seriously ridiculous.
"I cannot wait till this is over. And to get out of this dress and heals combo."
Dad chuckled deeply as my Ravyn, Seth, Hailey and Stormy walked up the aisle. Oh my God, we were next. I tried not to hyperventilate. I did, really.
My father leaned down, a soothing hand rubbing circles over my upper back. "Deep breaths, Mac. Relax, the minute you see him, you won't be this nervous." He drew an X over his heart when I gave him a doubtful glare and continued with, "I promise."
And then I was walking too slowly on that red carpet. His eyes were all over me for a second before they met mine and the look on his face literally took the very breath from my lungs. A smile broke out across his lips and his eyes glowed amber in the ambient light from the stained glass windows behind him. His black tux was no different than anyone else's, but on him it was more sexy than should even be possible.
Staring into his eyes, all my nerves shorted out, my breathing relaxed, and my heart thumped calmly, as if Wyatt told them to chill out with his eyes. I could feel everyone staring at me, but all I could look at was him. We were in our own little world.
My father placed my hand in Wyatt's at the alter. Leah stood beside me, Aiden on the other side. Alice freaked when we told her we were going to have a joint wedding, but in the end, it was our choice. So here, in the middle of no where in Alaska, the four of us were getting married.
And it was perfect.
Wyatt is all I'll ever need. He stood beside me when no one else would. He loved me when it felt as if no one else did. He holds me at night and everything is fine. His kisses make me feel like I'm home.
He is like a bright star in the sky, shinning the brightest, bringing light to everyone, giving them guidance and helping them find a path to follow on this trail called life. He's the starlight guiding everyone home to families and friends.
He is, and will forever be, my soul mate.
My imprint.
My ducky.
And that's all she wrote folks! I know this is short, but since I'm gonna do the sequeal with Seth, Ravyn, Hailey, and OC I feel this chapter is a good ending. I did mean to write who is now the "Volturi" but I couldn't put that anywhere. I'll try to remember to adress it in the next story, but I'll tell you now just incase I forget. The Denali clan took over because Elizear felt so horribly about his term with the Volturi and wanted to make it right and do the right thing. So there it is.
Review and wait for a few days for me to post the next and last story for these guys! Don't forget to put me on auther alert so you'll know. I'll probably update this story like I did for CIM when it goes up though.
