Chapter Nineteen
Five days later, Aria and her men walked into the Maclean house and were met by Graham.
“The girls are up in Faith’s room. Beth thinks she’s getting ready for a dinner party. The flowers are ready, and a maid will bring them to you when we get Beth down here.”
“Good. My guys and I will wait for you to get us in the dining room.”
Graham nodded and walked off. She turned to Trent and Mateo. “We’re doing the right thing, aren’t we?”
Trent pulled her into his arms. “Yes. She’ll be shocked at first, but she’ll be happy.”
“I hope so. I just hate seeing her insecure and sad. That woman deserves everything.”
“And Alastair will definitely get it for her,” Mateo said and pressed a kiss to her temple.
Aria got more nervous as the minutes passed. She heard the family sitting in the back solarium, ready for the wedding to begin. They had turned the room into a fairytale scene, and she couldn’t have been more pleased.
It seemed like everyone was in on it because they wanted Beth to be an official part of the family.
The four girls came down. Angus and Aria were standing outside the room, waiting. When she caught her first glance at Beth, she felt tears fill her eyes.
Her daughters had put flowers in their hair, but they put a ring of flowers on Beth, and she didn’t seem to realize it. The white dress she had on was perfect for the occasion.
She hugged all of them and then put an arm around Beth’s waist as the music started.
“What’s going on?” Beth asked as each girl walked around the corner as bridesmaids.
Angus took her hands in his. “Today, the family is binding you to us for the rest of your life.”
“What!” Beth exclaimed.
Aria saw the panic on the girl’s face and turned her to face her. “Do you trust me?”
Beth nodded.
“Good. Angus will walk you down the aisle where Alastair is waiting for you.”
Beth tried to pull away and cried. “Wait, no. It’s not right.”
“Beth!” Alastair barked. “Come to me, now.”
Angus snorted. “He always was an impatient boy.”
“There’s nothing to be afraid of and everything to celebrate. His family wants you and loves you, and we know you love the family. Do you want to tell them no?”
Beth shook her head.
“Good. Are you ready?”
Beth inhaled, smiled, and nodded.
“Let’s go.” Angus took her hand. “I’m honored to be able to walk you, or rather roll with you, down the aisle. You’ve been my daughter from day one.”
Beth nodded and wiped the tears that ran down her face.
Aria handed Beth a bouquet, kissed her on her cheek, and then walked down the aisle and sat between her men. She turned when the music got louder to see Beth and Angus. She looked at Alastair and was shocked by the emotion in the man’s eyes.
Beth kissed Angus on the cheek before Alastair pulled her to his side. He never let go of her for a second, and Aria found that incredibly sweet.
The ceremony was beautiful, and Aria couldn’t have been happier. The party lasted for hours, and she was exhausted when she and her men got home.
“Let’s get you into bed, pet,” Trent said.
She nodded and leaned against him. “Yes, please.”
Mateo kissed her forehead. “We’ll get you in between us where you belong.”
It was her favorite place on earth and the only place she felt truly safe. “That would be wonderful.”
