Rejecting, Your Broken Promises
Chapter 119

Queen DeAnna’s POV

Bridal Shop

I was so excited when I got the call today advising that the girls were going to go wedding dress shopping. I have been waiting for this day since Peyton was a little girl. I really never thought that I would get to experience it with Peyton after we were informed that she had been killed in the attack at B***d Claw. I thought that I would have to live vicariously through my son’s fiancé’s on their dress shopping, but then I was blessed to get Peyton back. Peyton didn’t really have very many friends, as we had to keep her, and her brothers protected.

With her being part of the Alpha King family, she couldn’t just hang out or be able to go to sleepovers at a friend’s house, it wasn’t safe for her to do so. It couldn’t be allowed, as someone has always had an issue with a ruling, judgment, or an action that they thought was unfair, and it would anger them against us. So, none of our children had what you would call a normal relationship with their friends growing up. The other side of that coin was that they loved each other very much, played together, and were best friends with each other, because of it. During her stay at B***d Claw, she was friends with a few, before Timothy felt the pull to her, from what I was told by Amanda. Then the jealous girls caused her problems. It was a shame, as we all needed friends growing up. It was the second worst part of what had happened to her, the abuse will always be the worst, as far as I was concerned.

Her not being able to form bonds with others her own age was sad really. That is where you learn to do hair, and makeup, as you talk about the boy that you are crushing on. The singing into hair brushes as you danced around the room or learning a dance routine to dance together to. I was glad that Peyton was finally getting it now, and that she was still young enough to make those close bonds. It seems like she is finally coming into her own, and I could not be happier for her. She has a good man for a mate, and just seeing what he did for her when she brought Cassidy back to life, shows just how much he loves her. He sensed what he needed to do, without her telling him to do it, they were that connected. He put himself with her, for her to draw the extra energy from him, to be successful. They had a rough start, but they managed to get past it, as soon as she let him know what she needed. He was hesitant at first to push her, and so instead of him introducing her like he wanted to, he waited. It wasn’t his fault, and thankfully she listened to her father when he spoke to her about that matter. The Goddess did a good job at putting my daughter with him, I do not think there is anyone better for her than Percy.

I am glad that when the trainer Sebastian arranged for could get here, she ended up finding her mate. She was actually pretty old, I know she was about 150 years old, but she looked more like she was 23 years old. I don’t know if she will start aging again because she found her mate or not. Sometimes when a supernatural is mated to someone out of their species they will take on the aging of their mate. So, it is entirely possible that her aging will start again to keep her in line with Rob. I am happy for them, as I know that they had both been looking for each other for a while now, especially Isobel. She is very good at what she does, and she is the perfect person to train Peyton. Payton will be able to control her abilities optimally with her help, but it took a while to get in touch with her. I guess this was the reason why, the Goddess knew that today was the best day for her to be introduced, as Rob was her mate.

I loved getting to do this with the girls, I was excited when Christian proposed to Amanda. It was right after we got back from Jasper’s pack, and Christian suddenly wanted to do it. I think the fear of his sister being taken so soon after she met her mate scared him more than we thought it did. I had called Sebastian and told him the night it happened, but I knew that Peyton was helping Sloan and I didn’t want to bother her. There was just too much going on at B***d Rose, so I decided to wait to tell her. I already knew that Amanda was going to ask Peyton to be her Maid of Honor for the wedding. As soon as she calmed down enough from accepting Christian’s proposal to think straight. It was one of the first things that she said, and Christian asked Bryson to stand at his side as his best man. They will all be standing up there together as siblings and best friends, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

I was so glad that the girls could all shop for their wedding dresses together. Amanda came out in her third dress, and it was a mermaid and it looked great on her. Fitted lace at the top with a deeper sweetheart neckline and going out to ruffles right above her knees. She looked stunning in it, and I was so happy for her. I loved the little lace darts going down from the top of the dress into the ruffles, pulling the dress together. The ruffles went out about 4 feet behind her in a lovely train, and the back had a row of pearl buttons going from the back of the dress about a foot and a half down. The top of the back was just the lace, with no layer underneath which showed a little skin before the lining picked back up. She looked classic and elegant, and she was blissfully happy about this dress. She was glowing and almost bouncing in happiness at seeing herself in the mirrors. I agree, she did look beautiful, and I went to help her pick out a veil. She wanted a short one, as she already had the train that she wanted already on the dress, and it looked lovely, she did indeed look like a queen.

Christian was to be the next Alpha King, and he had already told her that she would have to wear her crown at the wedding because as soon as this was done, she would be the incoming Queen. There had to be a separate ceremony for Christian and Amanda to officially take over their positions, but both of the ceremonies had to be done a specific way. There were a lot of things for them to complete on both their parts before we can get to their special days. First the wedding, and then Christian taking over the part of being the Alpha King.

We got her veil picked out and it went very well with the dress. The veil was left at the front desk, and Amanda hurried back to her dressing room for her to take her dress off. They would have to order one for her, as the length was not correct for her, it was too long so they will have to order her a dress, and it will be in soon. I headed back to my seat, and as soon as I sat down, I heard an intake of breath from next to me. Sloan was looking at the doorway of the dressing rooms and Peyton stood there looking like a vision. She was wearing a corset top ball gown with lace covering from the top to her waist, before flowing out into a full tulle skirt. The skirt had a delicate overlay on it, and it shimmered in the low light. Peyton looked beautiful and I started tearing up seeing her standing there in her wedding dress. I remember seeing a veil out in the main part when I was just there with Amanda, one that had the same type of lace on it, so I ran to the main part of the store to grab it, and a tiara.

I twisted up Peyton’s hair into a quick bun on the back of her head and then slipped the comb attached to the veil into it to hold it. I then came around in front of her and had her bend down, as she was standing on a riser, for me to put the tiara on her. I put it in place and moved to stand behind her, as she straightened to look at her reflection. Peyton looked regal, just like a Queen, and I can feel the tears running down my face at seeing her in her wedding dress. I can hear Gabi telling Peyton how gorgeous she looks, and the other women are in complete agreement. I cannot stop the tears and I heard the shop door sound for the door opening as I continue to look at my baby girl in her wedding dress. I feel arms come around me and I scented my mate, as he kissed my cheek and held me close. Sebastian knew exactly what I was thinking. I had told him on the way home after Percy had proposed to her that I had given up on the thought of this ever happening because we thought we had lost her. Seeing her standing there in her dress, I was overwhelmed with my emotions. Peyton was crying too at seeing how emotional I was over this.

Amanda came out from the dressing room, and she clapped her hand over her mouth as she looked at Peyton. “You look gorgeous,” Amanda told Peyton. I have to agree with her. Even without her hair and makeup done, she is absolutely gorgeous, but it may just be me being partial to her, as I am her mother.

“Peyton since you and Sloan are both here, I was wondering if you two would be OK with us having a double wedding for you. With you both getting married at the same time. I haven’t hammered it out yet, but I thought with them being twins that it might be something that you might like to do. We would hold it at B***d Rose and play it live for our packs to watch, as we don’t have enough room for all the pack members to come, but I don’t want to leave anyone out. If you want your own wedding, we can do that too. I was just thinking that it would be nice to get you all married, for the boys to not just share their birthday, but their anniversary as well. I thought that it might make it more special. That it could be a fun, memorable experience. But if you were dreaming of having your own special day, just be your special day, I completely understand that. I just want you both to be happy, and I support you in whatever you feel like doing. I already know that the boys will be happy regardless, just because they are getting to marry you girls. They don’t know anything about this, and it is going to be kind of tough to put this all together, but I would do anything to make this wedding the best for both of them, and you girls” Gabi told them.

She paused and I know that she was giving them time to decide what they wanted to do. I know that Gabi had put a lot of thought into this, and was talking super-fast, so I could tell that she was excited, and really wanted to do this. I know she wanted to make this special for both of her sons, as they do have a strong bond together as twins. I also see her trying to make it special for the girls too. Everything that she has said to them gives them both an out if they want it because the bottom line is that she wants them to be happy and have the wedding of their dreams. I can see them both thinking about what she said. Sloan got up to go and walk over to speak with Peyton who was now standing in the hallway that headed back to the dressing rooms.

I really hope that they will both give it some thought, I can tell how much Gabi wants to do this for her sons. I think that it could be a really nice event too. I know that Gabi is planning for the immediate and extended families to be able to come to it. I know that she will be letting all three packs be able to watch it live so anyone who wanted to see it, would be able to. I am actually hoping that the girls decide to do this, as I would like to see how it gets worked out. I knew that Sebastian had been surprised by the suggestion, but I can see by his expression now that he thinks that it would be fun to be there to see how Gabi is going to make this impressive wedding come about. I think that doing it this way would make it even more memorable for them all. Something special for all four of them, but will probably mean the world to Dawson and Percy. It will make the bond between the twins, and their mates, be even stronger and I know that I am hoping that they will give in and do this.

I know that Gabi said that she was willing to do whatever they wanted as far as their weddings, and I believe her. I think that she has put a lot of thought into this and that she has a vision of her boys being able to do this together. I am sure that it will have been like that for most of the milestones in their lives. Most of our kind don’t even worry about weddings, but Tanner did because he wanted her to have the symbol of their bond showing on her hand when they were in human territory like we are now. We are all waiting and looking at them while they both get on their phones. I see Elena heading towards them in a dress for the bridesmaids and when I see them both smile at her, I know that they already have an idea of their decision. As soon as they turn back to us, they are all three looking at their phones and squealing in excitement. They came down the hallway with big smiles on their faces and grinning from ear to ear.

Peyton and Sloan looked at each other, building the suspense in the room as no one is talking anymore, even the salespeople present are quiet, as everyone here wants to know their answer. Sloan nods at Peyton to take the lead in it, and Peyton took a deep breath and said, “ Both Sloan and I were going to have Elena as our Maid of Honor. She has been there for both of us, and we both love her, just like we love you, Gabi. Our bridesmaid dresses were going to be different colors, Sloan was going with purple, and I was going with light pink. So, our only difficulty was getting Elena a gown that would incorporate both colors in it and make it special for her to be both of our Maid of Honor. We just found it, and pretty quickly, so I think, I mean WE think, that it is a sign that the Goddess is blessing this decision to have the wedding ceremony together. We love the idea, and I know that both Percy and Dawson would love this too. I have heard that everyone is nervous on their wedding day, so this should make it easier on all of us” Peyton said, and Gabi is crying tears of joy at being able to do something so special for her boys. I am quite sure that this will be a big surprise for them. I am looking forward to seeing what gabi can get done because she is a force to be reckoned with when she gets a plan. Usually, it is some kind of rescue or training for a pack that she does. But I know that she will use the same kind of tactical training, and methodical thinking to get this done and make it magical for all of them.

I look at Peyton’s phone which is now facing me, and I see a gorgeous dress that is pink and purple on the top, and then from the knees to the floor, it goes completely into light pink. It is a beautiful dress and I know that Elena will look perfect in it. It will blend this together so well, and it will still be clear whose bridesmaids are whose, and allow Elena to be special by wearing both colors. Gabi is crying she is so happy, and both Sloan and Peyton seem very happy with their decision to do this. I think that they just need to get Elena’s dress ordered, and now that they have picked their colors for the bridesmaid’s dresses, I think that they can look forward to this being the wedding of the decade. I have never even heard of this happening before, but I am all in to help them get this done. I think that it was a sign from the Goddess too because once they started looking it was like it popped up and started working out very quickly. I think that this event will be talked about for years to come, and I can’t wait to see what Gabi comes up with.
