Free Web NovelChapter 163: Chapter 163 Will You Marry Us?
Amber’s POV
"I think we broke her, Blaze."
"Nah, she’s just exhausted. Let her sleep for a while."
I can hear the voices of my mates clear as day, but eyes are so heavy they refuse to open. I want to tell them I just need a minute to rest and then I’ll be fine. Ignis is laying on her back, her tongue out and a feeling of total bliss oozing from her to me. I drift off again, and the next time I wake up, I can hear the girls giggling in their room and Glaciel telling them it’s bedtime. Elina begs for five more minutes, while Melody scolds her gently and says they need their sleep to be fresh the next day. I can’t believe how big she is and mature in her way of thinking. They have both taken to life at the castle and with their new family so well. I love them dearly, everything in me telling me this was always meant to be. They were always meant to be ours.
I open my eyes, glancing around the room. It’s dimly lit with candles, but I can see someone stand beside the bed, and I sit up, trying to wake myself up completely.
"Come on, sis. You need to wake up now." Maze says with a glint in his eyes. I growl at him for disturbing my sleep.
"Now, now. Your mates asked me to wake you. So wakey wakey sister." He laughs as he exits the room, so sure I will not go back to sleep. Speaking of my mates; Chase and Blaze are nowhere to be found, but there’s a note on the bedside table.
*Baby, we wanted to let you sleep. Please put on what’s in the package on the end of the bed. There’s another note in there. - C&B*
I put the note down, and a slow smile forming on my face. What are these two up to? I take the package into my lap, opening it and finding lingerie. It’s beautiful, dusted pink with lace and just my style. Whoever chose this knows me well. Mom. Of course. They probably asked her or Maze. Maybe they asked Maze and he asked mom.
After putting on the lingerie I walk into the bathroom where something hangs beside the sink. A small note attached to it.
*Now, little moon, this dress is something special, just like the woman who is about to wear it. Shoes are underneath, and makeup will not be necessary. Like the name, you shine like the moon in the dark night, and tonight you will shine even brighter. We are waiting in the garden. - B&C*
I giggle at the note. Blaze can be so corny, but I love it. I open the bag and gasp! The dress inside is absolutely gorgeous. Light gold, with white pearls and diamonds all around the bodice. It flares out into the lightest material, and stroking it through my fingers, it feels like the material dreams are made of. So soft, light and yet so real.
Looking down beneath the dress I see shoes in the same light gold color as the dress. They are semi high heels, the heel being see through. They are simple, yet stunning.
I take a look in the mirror and wince. My hair is a mess and I have sleep in my eyes. I know the note said no makeup, but I’ve never been good with following instructions. I wash my face, brush out my hair and put the curling iron in the plug. Then I do a light makeup, just light gold eyeshadow, mascara and eyeliner. Nothing major, but Blaze most certainly going to point out the note said none at all. Then I curl my long hair, making it a more wavy look then curly.
After that is said and done, I put on the dress, which fits me like a glove. Damn these two men are good. And then put on the shoes.
Inside the bedroom I discover a piece of paper on the vanity, and when I look closer it’s another note.
*Now that you are clothed, and have makeup on - yes we know you are a lousy follower of instructions, we have a little surprise before the big one. Put these on, and come out to us.*
I laugh out loud. This note is not signed, but the way it’s written it can’t be anyone else than Blaze who wrote it. I open the three small boxes on the table and my eyes threaten to pop out. There is a beautiful necklace, a pair of earrings and a bracelet, all white gold and with white diamonds. I blink back a tear. What are they up to? Ignis is swooning in my mind, her tail wagging nonstop.
’They are up to something.’ I tell her while putting on the jewelry.
’And? They are showering us with presents and love. They can be up to anything at this point.’ Ignis answers with a snort of laughter. I roll my eyes at her. She’s always been a team mate kind of wolf.
I walk from our room to the gardens and a staff member is waiting for me.
"My Queen, good evening. This way if you please." He says with a bow, and I follow him deeper into the outdoors. After a good five minute walk I start to get suspecuíous of where he is taking me and if this was actually a trap, but then music reaches my ears.
As we round the next corner I see candles light up the rose bushes, and then.. Chase and Blaze are both standing in the middle of the trail, candles all around them and music flowing from seemingly nowhere. They had mom to help. I smile at the sight of them. They are both incredibly handsome in a tuxedo each. Their eyes shine with happiness and love, and for the third time this evening I wonder what they are doing.
"Good evening little moon, you look absolutely radiant." Blaze says, reaching a hand out to me. The staff member has disappeared without me noticing it.
"You look more gorgeous than all the goddesses together." Chase purrs, taking my other hand in his. I blush deeply in the light of the candles, not knowing how to respond to these compliments.
"We wanted to make this evening special, but we didn’t want to overdo it. We wanted something simple and something we thought you would love." Chase rambles. He seems nervous. But why? We’ve been on dates before.
"This is amazing. And this dress. It’s out of this world. Thank you." I whisper. The atmosphere is so ethereal and sacred.
"Amber! We love you. You are our sun, moon and stars. You are our everything. We would burn the world for you, or in my case, flood it." I giggle. "We would go through hell’s fire, and swim across every ocean to get to you. We want to protect you, fight with you and for you." Blaze has tears in his eyes.
"We want to spend the rest of our lives together with you and our girls! We want to have more children with you, and to make you Queen - official I mean." Chase smiles, but it’s weak. "We want nothing but the best for you and with you. Our love is unconditional, never running out, never going dry. I know we had our differences in the beginning and I was a huge ass towards you. I will work my entire life to make that up to you, and I will apologize over and over again, if that is what you need." A tear slid down his cheek, and I’m damn near bawling myself.
Then they both go down on one knee, and present me with a box each. Inside them are two rings. One is a dragon’s tail making a half circle with diamonds as stars, and the other is the full moon with a howling wolf in the middle. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Will you marry us?" They ask simultaneously, and for once in my life I am speechless. Chase and Blaze exchange a nervous glance over my overdue silence. Then I remember how to nod, so I do that. Then my voice remembers how to make a sound, and I almost yell "YES! YES, YES, YES." Both guys break out into giant smiles, as they slide the two rings on my fingers. They fit together to make one whole ring.
Out from the darkness surrounding us jump our family; Maze, mom, Ezra, Merida, Glaciel, Tristan, the girls and the other Royals. Mom is holding a glowing ball in her hand, and there is my dad, Joshua and all the others from my pack. Everyone is cheering. I laugh and cry all at once, all the emotions of the evening catching up with me. The mood is euphoric until an arrow slides through the air and hits the ground. The cheering changed into yells of anger, despair and orders from Tristan, my mom and my mates. All of the sudden we are surrounded by enemies, and they are trying to kill everyone I love. Chaos ensues, and the enemy tries to scatter us, but we stay close together.
Ignis is growling inside me, wanting blood for interrupting our moment, and then a face I never thought I would see again appears in the frey; Callus and Gia. They are both smirking and smoothing is different in their auras. It hits me like a ton of bricks; their dragons. They are corrupted. A cry of anger leaves my mouth before I shift into Ignis, shattering my dress completely.
They are going to die, here and now. No more will those two threaten my family.
’Get the girls to safety.’ I order Glaciel and Merida. I can’t command Merida but she nods nonetheless. Then I take off after my enemy, the calls of my mates a weak echo in my mind.
