“What’s going on?” I asked softly. Then they moved away from me, walking backward and forming a circle around me.
I stood there confused and feeling dumb for a moment.
Then I saw the sand light up with the words, “Will you marry us?” in glowing, radiant letters under the night sky.
My breath caught in my throat, and my eyes filled with tears.
The men closed the circle, surrounding me instead with their intense energies around me. The two deltas and the three alphas all surrounded me, with only me in the reflection of their gazes.
Ryder knelt, his head bowed as he faced me, and I gasped. But right at that moment, the rain started to come down, drenching everyone on the beach. The rain was still coming down, but Ryder did not get up from the ground. I was breathing so fast, not from the rain but from my nerves.
Was he really about to propose to me?
“Damn it,” said Ryder, and I smiled at him. “It’s not supposed to rain, but I can’t let another day go by without asking you this question.”
I placed a hand on my chest as he opened a small box in his hand.
“Oh,” I gasped at the glittering ring inside.
“On behalf of my pack,” said Ryder. “As the leader of my pack, I have sought permission from each of your fathers, who have granted me their approval. My beautiful Lacy, you’ve dropped into our lives in the most unexpected way, and we’ve all gotten to love you through it all. Will you do us the honor of marrying me, Ethan, Lucas, Cooper, and Adrian?”
It was an actual marriage proposal. And I never expected it to happen right now.
Panic stirred within me, but the feelings of excitement overrode it. I was going to have a pack just for me. A dream that I believed gone long ago.
“Yes,” I said, smiling and crying in the rain. He slid the beautiful ruby ring studded with gold onto my finger and stood back up. He cradled my head and kissed me on the lips to the clapping and cheers of everyone around us. “I can’t wait for our wedding.”
“We’re getting married right now,” said Ryder with a grin.
Suddenly, I looked up and saw a group of workers hurry a fixture of a tall arch towards us, and suddenly, I was standing underneath an arch with flowers hanging down.
“What?” I said, laughing. I couldn’t believe my pack had done all this. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. I was so touched, and my heart had grown ten sizes right about now. I couldn’t help laughing when I saw a clown rushing to us with a book in his hand. “Is he officiating?”
“Yes,” said Ryder.
Someone had stuck a tiara with a veil over my head before I could even process everything. It was happening so quickly, but I loved it anyway.
I would remember this forever for the rest of my life.
I was afraid of clowns, so when he touched my arm, I screamed, making my family and friends laugh.
But when I looked up, my heart dropped.
It was my idol Hayden Gray, smiling and removing the red rubber nose from his face.
Then I looked at Ryder in shock, to everyone’s amusement.
“What?” I said, stunned and shocked that he had gottentheHayden Gray to officiatemywedding. “I can’t believe it.”
“Believe it, my love, because we’re about to get married,” said Ryder, smiling at my shocked expression.
I took a few deep breaths and turned back to Hayden.
“I’ve always been a fan,” I said. “This means everything to me…”
“I am honored to officiate your wedding, Miss Lacy,” he said. His voice was husky-sounding and deep, just like his songs. I looked back at Ryder, and I could sense a bit of jealousy rising from him, but he kept it down with a smile. “Let’s get this wedding started, shall we?”
“Yes,” I said, nodding.
