Chapter : 930

I couldn’t help but laugh at that logic.

“Ryder is an infant,” I reminded him. “You are not. You are wearing the tux, Matthew.”

He groaned but didn’t argue further.

I went upstairs and into the King’s suite, where my suit lay on the bed, ready for me to put it on. I grabbed it and went straight into the bathroom, where I showered and prepped myself for the wedding.

I was excited; I was finally marrying the love of my life. I was never going to let this woman go, and now she was going to be bound to me in more ways than one. I planned to mark her after our wedding during our first night together as a married couple.

After I finished showering, I put on the suit and looked at myself in the mirror. I had to admit, I looked pretty good. I just hoped Judy thought so, too.

There was a soft knock on the door, and I opened it only to find my mother standing on the other side.

“Mom? You came,” I said, hugging her.

She stood on her toes to hug me back, and then she kissed my cheek adoringly.

“Did you really think I’d miss my son’s wedding?” She asked with a light laugh. “Not a chance.”

“How are you? I haven’t seen you in a while,” I told her, pulling her into my room so we could talk.

Since she was betrayed by Daisy and lost the Moon Gem, she’s been hiding. I think her heart was broken because of both Daisy’s betrayal and the betrayal of my father. I hated the thought of my mother being heartbroken, and I wanted to fix it.

“I’ve been okay… I did a lot of reflecting over these last few weeks, and I wanted to tell you that I’m sorry,” she finally said, tears filling her eyes. “I should have trusted you and given you the benefit of the doubt. But I’m so happy for you, and I’m happy for Judy. I can’t wait to welcome her into our family.”

“Wow, Mom. That’s huge for you to admit,” I told her, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her into me. “Thank you. My mate will be happy to hear that.”

She patted my back as she hugged me back, and then she stepped back so she could take a look at me.

“Oh, sweetie, you look handsome, but you really need to do something with your hair,” she said, narrowing her eyes at me.

I frowned and ran my fingers through my hair, confused by what she meant.

“I don’t understand,” I said, my brows furrowed. “What’s wrong with it?”

She smiled and shook her head.

“How are you this powerful Lycan Chairman, and you still need your mother’s help

with something this simple?” She asked. “Come on… let me fix your hair.”

She pulled me into the room and sat

me on the bed as she fussed with

my hair. It was nice spending this time with her, it was strange, though, because we’ve never really spent this much time together before. Our relationship was never like this, but I can see there was a change in my mother, and she was trying to make up for some old times’ sake.

“So, how’s my grandbaby?” She asked. “And where exactly is he?”

I smiled at the thought of Ryder… my heir.

“He’s with his other grandparents while Judy gets dressed,” I told her. “If you want,

you can head to the villa to see them right now.”

“That’s alright can see him after. You know, I’ve gotten to know Michelle Montague quite a bit over the last few weeks, and I have to say, I really enjoy our talks. We’ve bonded over our love for ouro. grandson. We are having tea next week.”

“Oh, really?” I asked.

“Yes,” she replied. “And Ryder will be with us, of course. We are going to spoil him

rotten while you are off on your honeymoon.”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“I don’t doubt that. Just don’t go crazy,” I warned her.

She feigned innocence.

“Me? Crazy? Never,” she teased, swatting my arm and making me laugh.

Once she was done with my hair, she stepped back, a pleased smile on her lips.

“Perfect,” she said, clapping her hands together. “Now you are ready to get married.”

Tears filled her eyes at that moment, and a smile lit up her face.

“What is it?” I asked, standing up from the bed.

She shook her head and wiped at her eyes.

“It’s just that sometimes I wish that your father could be here to see this,” she told me, making my chest tighten But then I remembered all the secrets and lies he told, and I’m honestly glad he’s not around anymore.”

I wrapped an arm around her and kissed the top of her head.

“I love you, Mom,” I said to her, and I meant it.

“I love you too, Gavin,” she said with a warm smile. “Now… let’s go get you

married.”
