Chosen by Fate, Rejected by the Alpha

Chapter 525 - Trinity – Wedding For Aunt Glory And Athair Mòr Part 3 (VOLUME 3)

~~

Trinity

~~

Following the ceremony for Athair mòr and Daciana, the two of them walked back down the aisle arm in arm. The entire crowd: all the Fae, the gathered bears, wolves, other shifters that were here for Trevor, and all the Gypsies that had come her for Daciana, were on their feet and applauding. The sound of that applause was deafening, but also made me smile because it was for my family. It was for my Athair mòr and his new bride.

It hit me then that Daciana was truly now a part of my family. She was bound to us for eternity, and I couldn't have been happier about it. It made me think about how one of Reece's best friends was joining the family as well. They were going to be in-laws but that didn't mean anything. They were like brothers as it was already. This just gave them one more bond that united them.

Now that the ceremony was over, it was time to prepare for the next one. Daciana was taken to a special location where she could watch the next ceremony when it commenced. There had been a special throne prepared just for her to wait in while Aunt Glory and Trevor shared their vows of eternal love. Valerian was going to be escorting Aunt Glory down the aisle before he joined his bride as a guest instead of the groom.

All of our positions needed to be reset and changed. Reece was now smiling happily as he stood next to his friend, and pseudo-brother, Trevor as the best man. Reagan and Rika were once again the first ones to walk down the aisle. They were tossing out the flower petals and carrying rings on a golden pillow. I followed after them nervously as I felt the eyes of tens of thousands of people on me. I did my best to ignore it though, as I proceeded to where I was supposed to stand.

Once Reece, Reagan, Rika, and I were all in our proper places the music that was being played shifted so that we knew it was time. We all turned to watch as the door of the bridal room opened at the end of the long aisle. Aunt Glory and Athair mòr emerged with bright, shining smiles on their faces. Their magical air to their appearances was making them look like they stepped right out of a fairy tale. They were a prince and a princess, or a Queen and a King, in appearance, but in truth, they were more like an updated and happier version of Hansel and Gretel. These two siblings had found their happiness and were sharing that with the world.

Aunt Glory was looking even more beautiful than I had ever seen her before. Now that she was out here in the light, I could see that her dress looked as if it had come to life with all of the sparkles that were dancing all along its surface. Her long, beautiful black hair had been pulled into a half up and half down style with a decorative flower ornament that looked like it was made from a real crystalized flower. The hair that was hanging down her back was curled loosely and bounced as she walked. Her brilliant sky blue eyes stood out radiantly like they were truly shining with all of her magic behind them. And then, there was the way that her makeup had been done so perfectly that it made look like she should be adorning magazine covers as the world's most beautiful woman.

On top of all those enhancements from her clothes, makeup, and magic, I knew that Aunt Glory looked a million times more beautiful than she usually did simply because of how happy she was. The moment that her eyes fell onto Trevor, that beauty of hers intensified so much that it was unbelievable. Aunt Glory had never been married before, never been mated before, this was a day that had literally taken millennia in the making for her.

With her taking her place before Ash amid the shining gazes of her people, Aunt Glory was finally ready to take the next step. She was finally ready to marry the man that was meant for her.

"Thank you all for your attention once again." I could see happy tears in Ash's eyes as he started to speak. "We are here now to join in the union of Trevor Jacoby and Queen Gloriana Belphoebe. Our Queen has been searching for many years for a mate to complete her. I know you all join me in the joy that I feel knowing that she is as happy as she is now that she has found him."

Ash paused for a moment to look at everyone again just like he had last time, then he began to speak once more. "As I said before, for a Fae, marriage means something different than it does for a human. Humans cannot love someone for all of eternity like they wish to do. As much as they truly think that they mean it, their lives are just too fragile that they cannot possibly love for that long. As I mentioned before, we Fae and other celestially blessed beings are able to do what the humans are not. Often, when we say that we will love someone for all time it truly will come to pass. I know that these two will love each other for more than several human lifetimes. I know that my Queen and future King will share love like that of legends and old tales.

He took another breath, smiled at Aunt Glory and Trevor, then continued with the next part of the ceremony.

"If there is anyone among us that believes that these two should not be wed, please speak now or forevermore hold your peace."

This was all progressing beautifully and, just like it had when Athair mòr and Daciana had their ceremony so shortly before this, it was perfect and nothing was at all out of the ordinary.

Or so I thought.
