A Runt Luna novel Chapter 48

"Mom, please don't cry." Ian said with a nervous smile. He stood tall, looking proud in his black suit. Ian had taken to calling her mom when she was returned after those months of capture.

"I'm sorry. I'm just so happy for you." Rory said, straightening out his bow-tie.

"I am going to go check on things, but I will be right back." It was half true, she did have to check on things and make sure that everything was perfect, but Kole had previously asked her to step out so he could talk to Ian privately.

Rory moved outside of the bedroom, before moving to the bedroom that Missy was getting ready in. Knocking slightly, she peered inside, her breath catching as she say Missy wringing her hands and obsessively moving over her dress smoothing the non-existent wrinkles.

"Everything thing ok in here?" Rory asked.

"No-I- I don't know. What if he regrets marring me? What if he realizes that I am not worthy of him." Missy said, her eyes filling with tears obviously repeating what her family taunted her with before.

"That will never happen, he loves you so much." Rory said smiling resting her hands on Missy's shoulders.

It took nearly twenty minutes for Rory to help calm Missy's fears. Rory returned to Ian's room and saw that he was looking a little green, pacing back and forth.

"Is she alright?" Ian asked, his wolf sensing what his mate was.

"She is, she looks beautiful." Rory smiled. "Now, if you are ready we can get this show on the road!"

"Ok, yeah." Ian nodded.

The ceremony was beautiful, Rose was the ring barer, Parker and Steven the flower girl and boy. Steven being almost two followed his sister down the aisle tossing the white lily blossom on the ground. As planned, after they were done they sat next to their parents. Everyone stood as Missy walked down the aisles, but unlike many, Rory was fixated on seeing Ian's face as he saw Missy for the first time in her gown.

"Are you crying?" Kole asked as Missy reached where Ian was standing.

"Of course I'm crying! I'm just so happy for him." She said wiping her tears with her finger, until Kole offered her a handkerchief.

"Me too, me too." Kole nodded kissing the top of her head. As the ceremony proceeded, Kole remembered the feeling of nervous and complete happiness he had felt when he married Rory. It wasn't until after Rose was born, having gone through a rough patch during Rory's first pregnancy. At the time Kole was happy and nervous that he was going to be a father, but he was upset that he had bit the inside of her thigh, feeling that he took away her choice and was truly stuck with him. But both his sister and Edna knocked him upside the head a few times and made him see reason.

"I love you." Kole whispered into her ear, as he adjusted Steven on his lap.
