Brynn wore a fitted dress that fell below her knees. She also wore tennis shoes. Brynn smiled. “My feet hurt like all the time. No way am I waddling around in heels.”

“We’ve got the second row reserved for us,” Acksel said.

“Lead the way,” Ren said. He offered Kismet his arm and she took it. They fell into step behind the alphas as they walked down the aisle. White folding chairs had been set up in two sections. Each end chair had a bouquet of white roses and pink lilies tied to it with gauzy ribbon. Acksel, Brynn, Kismet, and Ren sat next to each other. A few moments later, Malachi and his mate Nila, and their son Jack joined them.

“You’re taking off tonight or tomorrow?” Malachi asked Ren.

“Tomorrow,” Ren answered.

“We’ll keep an eye on your house.”

Ren grunted. “Thanks.”

“I can put up some security cameras around your place,” Malachi offered.

Ren had told Kismet that Malachi and Lucian were partners in a security company.

“Thanks, I’ll let you know if we want to go that route.”

Malachi nodded and settled back in his seat, putting his arm around his mate.

Kismet knew there were protection spells she could cast around their home. She’d never done one before, but she’d seen others do them over the years. When she was in the fae realm, she’d gather the materials for the spell and do it when they got back. That would ensure that no one got into their home without permission.

Ren tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and his light touch lingering on her neck made her shiver. “What are you thinking about so seriously?” he murmured.

“Protection.”

He gave her a look that was all serious alpha male. “You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll keep you safe.”

“I know, but I can cast a protection spell around the house. At least I think I can. I’ve never actually done one before.”

“What does it do?”

She hummed in thought. “It’s kind of like what witches like my mom do. The spell is like an invisible fence around our home. Anyone with evil intentions toward us would be stopped, or at least slowed down enough to alert us.”

His brow arched. “Do protection spells work?”

“Yep. I’ll look into it when we’re in my realm.”

The music that had been playing softly in the background grew suddenly louder as two males dressed in tuxedos walked down the aisle together, both wearing broad smiles. A woman wearing a pantsuit with a floral scarf around her neck stood in the gazebo and smiled at the males.

“Jeremiah’s on the left,” Ren said. “Adam’s on the right.”

She nodded. “Are they related? Or their mates?”

“No, they’re just good friends.”

A young male escorted a female down the aisle and she sat in the center of the front row. She waved at the males and Jeremiah waved back.

“That’s his mom,” Ren whispered in Kismet’s ear.

Two females were escorted down the aisle by a large male. They sat next to Jeremiah’s mother. Ren explained in a low voice that the older female was Adam’s mate, and Dani’s adopted mother, escorted by her adopted brother Row and his mate, Kammie, who had been part of the Wilde Creek pack until she mated him and moved to his bear den. Kismet’s interest was piqued by the idea of bear shifters. She wondered what other sorts of shifters there were, and why the fae realm didn’t have any.

A group of three males and one female walked down the aisle and took over the front row across the aisle.

Ren whispered to Kismet. “Those are the reindeer. They’re nomadic and came in for the wedding, since Dani doesn’t have her biological reindeer family anymore.”

“That’s sweet,” Kismet said.
