Chapter : 932
“I need to make sure Chester is still on his way there with Ema,” Nan said as she pulled out her phone. “Want me to check on our father? I know he has Ryder, doesn’t he?”
“Yeah, actually, he’s with Zachary Blackwell too,” I told her, shaking my head at the image. I never really imagined my father hanging around Zachary Blackwell. Still, he was recently promoted to Beta, considering Alpha Sampson was in the market for one, and Gavin didn’t think there’d be anyone better other than my father. He was a title that my father gladly accepted, and I was really happy for him.
“Zachary is trying to branch out,” Selene said with a shrug. “And get to know the people who adopted his daughter.”
Selene hadn’t spoken much about Lila, and I hadn’t asked her, but the memory of Lila was fresh in our minds. She’s been away at an inpatient therapy facility, getting the help that she desperately needed, and I was glad for that. It meant she wasn’t going to be a problem for us anymore… at least not for a long time.
The ceremony was held in a church near the packhouse, where many great Alphas before Gavin had been blessed, including his father. I knew this place meant a lot to him, which was why we were deciding to get married here.
I wanted an outside wedding, so everything was prepped outside, behind the church in the large yard that connected to the packhouse.
White chairs lined the grass. Pack members filled them, their murmurs buzzing with curiosity and approval. Even Olivia was there with her friends, wearing gorgeous gowns, and their hair was done to perfection. They were looking around eagerly as well, almost like they were excited for what was about to happen.
It was something I was still getting used to.
“Are you ready?” Nan asked from beside me, her eyes fixed on the rows and rows of pack members. The aisle that we created was long enough to fit all the chairs on either side; one side held the Redmoon pack members, including Alpa Sampson and his mate. The other side had all the Silver Crescent pack members and a few extras, like the chairpersons.
I even spotted Tabby seated near Jeremy; Shirley was right beside her, both looking gorgeous.
When Tabby saw me, her smile grew, and I was relieved to know that she was still my friend. She gave me a quick wave, and I returned it without hesitation.
My father met me at the church entrance. I tried to stay hidden from Gavin’s view while we got ourselves coordinated. Ryder was lying in his arms, awake and smiling, as my father handed him to me.
“He better not spit up on your dress,” Nan murmured, folding her arms across her chest and making us laugh.
Chester was soon beside her as well with Emalyn in his arms. Immediately, Nan gushed at their little girl and kissed her chubby cheek, making the baby giggle, and the rest of us laugh as well.
“Come to grandma,” my mother said, taking Ryder from my arms and
giving him a gentle kiss
the
cheek and then she turned to me. “I’m going to take my seat with this little one.”
“I’ll come with you,” Selene said, and then she turned and gave me a small smile.
“I’ll see you soon?”
I nodded and gave her a quick hug, which surprised her.
Before she could go, I called after her.
“Can you send Zachary here?”
She looked confused, then nodded before leaving. I turned to my father, and he was eyeing me carefully. Iĕ had talked to him about this before, and I told him I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, he told me that needed to follow my heart on this one and that he wouldn’t be mad no matter what I decided. The decision came to me last night, and it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Zachary was soon in the church, looking around until his eyes settled on me.
“Everything okay? The wedding was delayed a little,” he said, walking towards me with a frown marring his lips.
“Yes,” I told him as he stopped in front of me. I swallowed the lump in my throat. “But I need to ask you something.”
His eyes narrowed.
“You can ask me anything, Judy. You know that,” he told me, cocking his head ot the side.
“I need you to walk me down the aisle,” I told him, watching as his eyes grew impossibly wide.
“What?” He asked, staring between my father and me.
I let out a low laugh.
“Let me explain,” I said, taking hold of each of their hands. “You are both my fathers… I want you both to walk me down the aisle and give me away.
