“They’re soul mates.”
“What?” I gasped, the color draining from my face. I couldn’t have possibly heard her right.
“Aiden and Viola and Adam and Vivian are soul mates,” she said plainly.
“You have got to be kidding me,” I grabbed my head. I could feel a headache coming on from all the stress.
“I wish I was,” she said.
“So, they know now? They know everything?” I asked.
“Yeah,” she sighed.
I sat back against the leather seat. “I guess I should be relieved, but I’m not.”
Diana and Amelia gave me a sympathetic look. Amelia patted my hand. “At least you won’t have to live a lie anymore. It’s for the better that they know, because once you’d have been turned you would have had to cut ties with them.”
“I know,” I groaned, pinching my eyes shut. But I couldn’t shake the feeling in my stomach that this was very, very, bad. “How much longer until we get there?” I asked.
“I’d say about twenty minutes.” Amelia gave me a huge smile. I was about to become a permanent part of the family. There would be no getting rid of me now.
My heart skipped a beat. This was truly it. This day marked the beginning
of the rest of my life. A life spent with Jonathon. Forever.

The garden was beautiful. Not as beautiful as Katherine’s garden, but beautiful nonetheless. I had said I wanted to be married outside and I got what I asked for. This was perfect. Everything was so lush a green. There was even a fountain and some kind of crumbling relic in the distance. It was peaceful. It suited Jonathon and me. Diana and Amelia each hugged me before I was whisked away to my brothers. I assumed Amelia went to take her seat next to Patrick and that Diana, as my only maid of honor, was waiting with Joseph, Jonathon’s best man.
I felt a twinge in my stomach at that. My Man of Honor wouldn’t be here. I’d never see him again. Just like my dad. I’d had over a year to get a grip on the death of my father but Isaac’s death was still like a fresh wound.
Pierre and Christian, whom I discovered were soul mates, I had no idea there were gay vampires but I guess I shouldn’t have been shocked, fussed over my dress making sure it was perfect and not a thread out of place. Deciding I was presentable they stepped away and finally let my brothers near me.
“Hey little sis,” Aiden kissed my cheek as he and Adam appeared.
“How come you never told us about all this vampire stuff?” asked Adam, kissing my other cheek.
“Sorry,” I said. “I was sworn to secrecy. But now you know.”
“Now we know,” they echoed.
“It’s a relief not to have to hide it anymore,” I took their arms. The music was starting and Diana and Joseph were disappearing underneath an archway of green. I couldn’t see anything beyond it but I knew that somewhere behind it Jonathon was waiting for me.
“Here is your bouquet. Jonathon said to tell you that it was his mother’s favorite flower.”
“Oh,” I gasped, taking the beautiful bouquet from Aiden. “It’s beautiful,” I breathed. And it was. The bouquet cascaded down with beautiful white orchids. My throat swelled. Jonathon had done his job perfect. I knew I could trust him to take care of the flowers and now I was holding a bouquet of Katherine’s favorite flowers from her beloved garden. In a way it was like she was here with us.
They gripped my arms and pulled me towards the opening. My heart hammered a mile a minute in my chest. I took a deep breath to steady myself. I’d hate to pass out walking down the aisle. The music suddenly switched. This was our cue.
“Ready?” Aiden asked me.
“Yes,” I breathed and we stepped into the most beautiful scene. I thought I had stepped into an enchanted garden. We were draped all around in greenery and flowers. There was even a ceiling of green. It was magical. The aisle was a blanket of white petals. The seats were white fabric with a black bow tied around them. Everyone’s eyes were on me; mine were on Jonathon and his expression. His eyes were only for me and mine were only for him. It was as if the garden was empty except for the two of us. We were the only people that mattered. I had never seen anyone look so gorgeous in a tux before. He was so flawless. He smiled slightly and I smiled back. I knew I was beaming but I couldn’t control myself.
I tried to pace myself but I still found myself getting ahead of my brothers. Slow down, Kylie, I silently told myself. I heard Jonathon’s chuckle in my head.
Stop it. I said.
Never.
