A slender hand came up, cupping my jaw. Hazel was staring up at me with a small smile. “Thank you, all of you, for coming for me.”
“You’re our wife, omega,” I told her gruffly. “We willalwayscome for you.”
“We still have the ex-fiancés to worry about,” Emiliano warned, his gaze searching the area.
“Tear the place apart…” Alessandro waltzed into view, ending my train of thought. Blood and bits of flesh were splattered on his clothes, and his sniper rifle was slung over his shoulder. His icy gaze was intent on Hazel as he strode forward and held up a bag.
“What is that?” Hazel softly murmured, her head listing to the side to look at my brother.
The tightness around his eyes told me he knew she had been drugged, but the grim expression lightened when he opened the bag and emptied its contents on the ground.
Hearts.
Alessandro had dropped three bloody hearts onto the ground.
“Your ex-fiancés won’t be a problem anymore, Hazel. Ever. I made sure of it.”
“If I wasn’t so drugged up I couldn’t stand on my own, I’d kiss you so fucking hard right now,” Hazel said, and the ice in Alessandro’s face thawed enough that he smiled at her, stepping closer to me to press a soft kiss to her lips.
“Save that thought for another time. After all, we’re married. You’ll have plenty of time to show your appreciation.”
Hazel laughed, the sound washing away some of my worry. Eliza had saved her, and we’d managed to get them both away in the end. I couldn’t imagine my life without the omega in my arms, and I could confidently say that everyone in my pack felt the same.
The black weddingdress I’d chosen hung on the closet door of my fancy suite. My fingers ran over the lacy material, and a smile formed on my black-tinted lips. This day had been a whirlwind, but I’d never been happier. The guys had rented out an entire hotel just for this weekend, and I was waiting for the girls to finish getting ready in the other room.
In the weeks following our kidnapping, the guys had been busy. The clean-up had been swift to beat the police’s arrival, taking advantage of the fire to cover their tracks. It was almost a full-blown wildfire before emergency responders made it out. By then, all the omegas were safe. Valentina had taken it upon herself to ensure they were getting the resources they needed for fresh, drug-free starts.
The Humble Creed had taken a huge hit, and thanks to the witch hunt the guys had started, the hits were going to keep coming. Some of the rescued omegas were speaking out, and the entire cult was being hunted now. Now that the government was after them for their drug use, raids were happening all over. The missing omegas’ families were coming out in droves, exposing the Humble Creed even further. All of the secrets were coming to light, really showing how far they’d fallen into corruption. At this point, there was no chance of the organization recovering their public image.
“You ready to get the dress on?” Sienna asked, joining me. I’d finished first and slipped in here for a moment of peace before we pulled on our dresses.
“I am,” I said confidently. They rushed over and gave me a group hug, starting up the waterworks.
“The first one of us is finally getting married! I can’t believe it,” Eliza practically blubbered.
“Technically, I’m already married,” I pointed out, earning a swat.
“That doesn’t count! This is the real deal. The big dress, the ballroom, the sparkling lights.” We all let out a collective sigh at the thought of what we’d find downstairs. I had entrusted our wedding planners to handle it. I wanted a big gorgeous wedding… with a gothic flair. She had shown me a few concepts, but approving a collage and seeing it in person would be completely different experiences.
Getting into the big dress was a struggle, but thankfully, my besties and I had few, if any boundaries, so it wasn’t as awkward as it could have been. Nothing says best friend like someone grabbing your breasts to help them sit just right for maximum cleavage.
“Oh my god, Hazel. Look at yourself,” Teagan said. Our least emotional friend was now crying, which totally didn’t bode well for my eye makeup. Turning to the mirror, I took myself in.
I was gorgeous. The black dress hugged every curve before flaring out, and I felt like a fucking queen. The sweetheart neckline made my boobs look amazing, and my smokey eyes and black lips were perfect. My hair was flowing in dark curls around me, and Eliza pinned the black veil in place before gently pulling it over my face to give me the full effect.
“Are you ready for your forever, Hazel?” she asked with a smile. I placed my hand in hers so she could lead me from the room.
“I am.”
We reached the ballroom, and I got my first glimpse at the room. The decor was a gorgeous mix of black, silver, and glitter. From the sparkling lights to the black flowers, I was enraptured.
But that wasn’t what truly held my attention. It was the five men waiting for me at the altar. Every one of them was wearing an all-black, form-fitting tux, looking sexy as hell. I was a lucky bride.
When the music started, I took the first step to my future. I walked toward my men with my four besties by my side because I couldn’t think of anyone I’d rather have give me away.
There was nothing holding me back now. The past was officially the past. And now we were about to have a wedding I couldactuallyremember, with my best friends by my side and my pack waiting for me at the end of the aisle.
This wasn’t the life I had ever envisioned for myself… It was better.
