The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Arielyn

“Good morning people, I came to get the bride, the stylist and make-up artist will be here soon, we don’t want to be late,”

I said when they woke up. her mom and dad said hi while Rose judgingly followed me, she wasn’t much of a morning person which was understandable. The pregnancy made it worse. Everything about the preparation for the ceremony went well, before ten am, the bride was ready and it was just for everyone to move to the chapel where the wedding ceremony was to be held. I walked out of Rose’s room talking to a guest who was finding their way to the chapel and giving directions when a familiar voice called my name from downstairs, I didn’t want to assume so I walked faster towards the stairs and there he stood at the bottom of the stairs, waving at me and smiling.

“Hey, Arielyn,”

He called, I stood there, hoping that I wasn’t imagining things, I called Raul earlier and he didn’t mention him being back so I wasn’t so convinced that he could just be back now, except Raul kept that little detail from me, I hoped that was the case because It would hurt so bad if this was just me hallucinating, I didn’t have to wait long because one of Rose’s relative bumped into him while walking bye and he turned to look at her and apology before turning back to me, that was all the confirmation that I needed that it was real and that he was really here.

“Ken, you came!”

I yelled out and ran down the stairs to him, I was so happy to see him, he opened his arms and I ran into them. Hugging him tight.

“I told you that I will be back, didn’t I? I am pro at keeping my promise,”

He said and patted my back gently. He might not know what his coming here did for me, but I wish I could show him just how his keeping his promise meant a lot to me. I was so used to people disappointing me that for once someone keeping their promise to me felt so overwhelming and healing at the same time.

“Thank you for coming,”

I said and held him tighter, covering my eyes and breathing in the sweet smell of him, I missed him so much.

“Why are you saying thank you? I mean, did you think I would change my mind?”

he asked and I nodded.

“I thought you changed your mind because you liked Dilgem better,”

I said, not letting go of him, I felt so at peace now that he was here, I was kind of scared that something bad might have happened and was the reason he wasn’t back but I didn’t want to think about that, and thanks the moon goddess that he was okay and that I never let that thought play.

“Why will I like it better there when you are here?”

He asked and it melted my heart the way he said the words, gosh, I love this man so fucking much and so wanted to tell him already but I just didn’t want to dump my emotions on him unannounced.

“I take back all the bad things I said about you,”

I said and he pulled away from the hug. Not like I said anything about him but Rose did say she would make sure he gets a slow painful death.

“What bad things did you say about me? And who did you bad mouth me to?”

He asked while caressing my cheeks, I smiled.

“I am not going to say,”

I replied. I felt like my world was whole again now that he was here.

“I am so sorry that I didn’t call or text you, I was so busy and each time I get a chance to finally pick up my phone, it would be too late to call you back,”

He explained. Not like he needed to explain, all the bad thoughts I had and the anger I felt towards him all melted away the minute he called out my name and I saw his face. He gets a pass because he made an effort to be present at my best friend’s wedding, he looked like he didn’t get enough sleep.

“It is okay,”

I said and hugged him again.

“I missed you so much Ken, so fucking much,”

I said into his shoulder.

“I missed you too baby, I am sorry,”

He apologized again. I felt like he wasn’t apologizing for the same thing but I didn’t want to think too much about it.

“I am just happy that you are back in time for Rose’s wedding, we were both planning a slow painful death for you if you had missed it,”

I told him and he looked genuinely scared which made me laugh out loud, did he really believe we would do that to him?

“Okay, that’s scary, I will make sure not to get on your bad side,”

He promised and tried to kiss me but I withdrew myself.

“Don’t ruin my lipstick,”

I said but he didn’t listen because he pulled me back to himself and kissed me, purposely making sure to smug my lipsticks. When we pulled apart, we had a little audience and Rose’s parents were part of them. I covered my face in embarrassment, not even thinking about my ruined lipstick.

“Honey, I think there will be another wedding soon,”

Rose’s mom told her husband as they both smiled at us. I looked at Ken and he didn’t seem disturbed by what she said, in fact, he turned to Rose’s parents and greeted them while holding my hand.

“A royal wedding, I see,”

Rose’s mom said when she recognized who Kendrix was after he told them his name, she just stood there as they talked. My best friend shouted for me from upstairs so I had to leave Ken with her parents and run upstairs to her before she fired me as her bridesmaid.

“Why did you run away? What’s going on?”

She asked when I got to her, I smiled and she immediately knew what was happening and smiled too.

“He came, didn’t he? I told you he would, see, you had no reason to be worried,”

She said and reached out for my hand.

“Yeah, he came and said he was hell of busy, I know for a fact that he got on a plane as soon as he could because he looks like he hasn’t gotten any sleep,”

I told her.

“See, I am so happy for you, now get me married,”

She concluded and we both laughed. I helped her up and together we walked downstairs. I saw Ken but I couldn’t ride with him because I had to stay with Rose’s line but when we got to the chapel, I was able to meet Ken again and we walked together to the aisle before he left me there to take his seat, hell, while working with him, I felt so much pride in me and I said a silent prayer to the universe that soon both of us will work down this aisle again and then, it would be as a couple.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

The ceremony went about quickly, I couldn’t stop smiling and each time my eyes went to where Ken sat, he had his eyes on me. I have never had that much attention from someone before, it was a whole new feeling for me and I knew it would take a while to get used to. I couldn’t wait to be alone with him so that we could make up for the time we were away from each other. I knew he was thinking the same too with the way he couldn’t take his eyes off me.
