Chapter 33–Book 2 The Wedding and the End/ Part 1.

Jack and Nova returned to the clan with the happy news that Nova was pregnant. Everyone was over the moon happy and a party was planned for later that night.

David met Nova and Jack in Jack’s office for some privacy. He told them everything that went on and about her mother being murdered by the Sheriff.

Nova was saddened by the fact that her mother was gone, the sadness came from the fact that she never knew her mother. Nova did wish things could have been different between them but it wasn’t in the cards.

Her mother made her choices and Nova made hers.

“David stood up and hugged Nova, I am sorry you lived that life growing up. I wish I would have known, things would have been very different.”

“It is alright, Father, I came to terms with my relationship with my mother long ago. I am saddened that her life ended the way that it did. In the end, though she did make her choices be they good or bad.”

“Father, you did hear the news?”

“How could I not, it is all over. I am going to be a grandpa.”

He was giving Nova a beaming smile.

“I have some news that I would like to tell you both, I have decided to take the offer, Jack. I will be the next Sheriff of Argon County.” I

“I also have to tell you that Maggi has agreed to be my wife. We would like permission to live in the cabin that we are currently staying in.?”

Jack walked up to David and took his hand in his, you are more than welcome to stay here in the Clan, you are already a member after all.

With that, David said his goodbyes and told them that He and Maggi would be at the party later tonight. David wanted his daughter and soon to-be son-in-law to join them by the fire.

They both agreed as they watched David walk out of the office. Jack and Nova looked at one another, at that moment they knew that they had been given a wonderful gift, not just family but community as well.

They both decided to go back downstairs and see what was going on and some catching up. Everyone was happy with the gifts that Nova had sent them, the clan doctor was more than happy with all the supplies and equipment.

Nova also arranged for the hospital to have new beds and furniture. She and the doctor discussed her pregnancy and that she was to see him on Monday for a full check-up.

The kitchen was running at full speed, they were getting everything ready for the party that had turned into a BBQ. Nova tried to help but between Jack and the cooks she was banned from helping tonight.

This party was for her and Jack. They were not going to have her working on her party.

When they went outside Nova stood

in awe, all the trees were strung out in white twinkle lights, it looked magical. Candles were burning softly in glass lanterns giving everything a soft glow.

Garlands were hanging from everywhere made out of greenery from the forest. In the garlands here and there were wildflowers. Crystal beads were hanging randomly giving a soft sparkle to the atmosphere.

Three BBQ grills and pits were going, tables were being set up. Cubs were running around playing while trying to help the adults.

There was a huge table being decorated, Nova couldn’t tell but it looked like something you would put the wedding cake on at a reception.

A huge bonfire was roaring with all kinds of lounge chairs around it. Nova and Jack came upon what

 

looked like two thrones sitting side by side. It looked like something out of a wedding reception.

“Noticed that did you?”

Jack and Nova turned around to see a very happy Sam looking back at them.

“The elders decided that since you were both mated in the traditional ways that you were now husband and wife. This party is your wedding reception.”

“I have been instructed to escort the bride to her father’s house to get ready and the groom is to go back to his room and I will join him shortly to help him prepare.”

With that Sam stood next to Nova holding out his arm for her to take so he could walk her to her destination.

Jack gave out a chuckle…

 

“Mr. Big Bad Sam holding out his arm to escort a lady. You are going to ruin your image.”

Sam turned and gave Jack a dirty look, with that Jack put up his hands in surrender and went off to his room.

When Nova arrived at her father and Maggi’s cabin they were waiting for her.

When she walked into the main room she was blown away, their living room was turned into a salon. Two other females were waiting for her, one girl was doing hair and make-up and the other girl was to help her with her gown.

She went over and looked at her gown. It was gorgeous and just something she would have picked out for herself.

“Where did all these things come from, will this dress fit me?”

As the ladies giggled, Maggi stepped up to her and took her hands in her own.

“The dress and everything that you see here was arranged by your Mate and the rest of the clan.” The Dress I promise will fit along with all the accessories.”

The first thing you are going to get is a rosewater bath infused with oils and bubbles. Then you will be given the full treatment. We have time but not a lot so we have to get going,

Jack was looking at the suit laid out on the bed. He didn’t do suits only on very special occasions, this was the single most special occasion ever.

It was then that the door to his room opened and there stood, Sam and Duncan.

“You are going to need all the help you can get to look good. You have all that rugged handsome crap that the ladies love but you are going to need more than that today.”

They walked into the room carrying various items. Tack backed away from them.

Then smiled and gave up, this was Nova’s day too and he was going to give her only the best.

Nova was staring at herself in the mirror, not believing that the woman staring back at her was indeed her.

Her hair was done up in an elaborate twist of braids and curls, there were

tiny crystals and small white roses woven into the design. She was wearing emerald earrings, a necklace, and an emerald bracelet. The items that Jack had bought her, though the bracelet was something new. 2

Her gown is a sweetheart neckline, sleeveless with a drop waist and a lace sweet train. it was off-white silk with delicate lace over the silk, the lace had tiny crystals as well that made her sparkle all over.

Her shoes though hidden were emerald green silk with more sparkles. They were a gift from Adira.

Her father came in and just stared at her for a little bit, the big Ex-FBI agent and now sheriff tough guy had unshed tears in his eyes.

“It’s hard to believe my beautiful daughter, that just a small amount of time ago I didn’t even know you

existed. Here I am now about to give you away at the altar.”

“I feel so much love and I am truly honored but I do feel just a little bit cheated that I missed your life to this point.”

“Father, you have missed nothing at all. You are here now and about to take me to the next stage in my life, soon you will have grand cubs to do all the things you missed with me.”

David gently hugged Nova as he smiled down at her. Trying hard not to let the tears fall

Maggi came in and gently put a veil over her, it was a simple veil unattached it added a fantasy element to her. Maggi then handed her the white rose bridal bouquet when Nova looked at it it had tiny green crystals throughout the

 

flowers.

Her father held out his arm for her to take, it was time, all was ready and all were waiting.

Adira was waiting for them outside to take up the front as she was Nova’s maid of honor in a velvet forest green ball gown.

“You didn’t think I would miss your most important day, did you?” She said with a smile as she turned to escort the wedding party to its final destination

When she was outside a piano began to play, the song “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran. She walked down the path of Clan members all holding candles to her one and only.

Jake stood at the altar with Sam and Duncan by his side watching the single most beautiful creature in the world walking gracefully up to him.

He was stunned by her graceful beauty, he could hardly believe that he was so lucky as to have this woman as his. 29

Nova had eyes only for Jack at that moment, he was so handsome. Standing tall in his black tux he was dressed to the nines. Her knee’s almost buckled as they got closer to him. 2

Everything was silent, except for the piano playing in the distance. Nova stepped up to the altar to be next to Jack. In a blur, the vows were spoken and now they were kissing to seal their vows.

At that moment, time stood still, the song playing was right, It was Perfect.
