The She-Devil And Her Alphas Chapter 343 – Three Hundred And Forty-three: The Wedding-1

“Do you, Lia Darlington, take these men, Daniel Vanidestine and Asher Nicolli, as your lawfully wedded husbands?” The wedding official asked the tribrid who was the spotlight of this special occasion 

There was anticipation from the crowd as they waited for Lia to reply, after all, she was marrying two men. This was the first time Little town was witnessing a polyandrous wedding, hence everyone was eager to see how it would turn out to be. 

“I do,” Lia answered, honestly. She had never been this sure in her entire life than now neither was there a need to think twice about her decision. If both weren’t her mates for life, there would be no one else. She would spend the rest of her immortality with Daniel and Asher. 

“Now, repeat after me bride,” The officiant began to enunciate the traditional wedding vow which she recited, facing Daniel. 

“I, Lia Darlington take you, Daniel Vanidestine, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death we do part; thereto I pledge thee my faith, “

According to the officiant’s direction, she turned to Asher repeating the same vow. She had made the first vow to Daniel as a sign of respect since he was officially her first mate. 

“I, Lia Darlington, take you, Asher Nicolli, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part; thereto I pledge thee my faith, “

A round of applause reverberated across the garden; they had done an outdoor wedding. However, Lia was obviously not through with her vow as Hazel, the ring bearer who had the rings tied to a small luxurious pillow came forward with the rings once again – the grooms had been the first to say their vows. 

She picked a ring and turned to Daniel, her first husband, “I give you this ring as a sign of my love for you and commitment to each other. I promise to support and give you an unwavering dedication. I will cherish you forevermore.” she said and slid the ring into his finger.

Having done that, Lia wanted to pull away but Daniel intertwined their fingers saying, “Together, forever,” 

Lia smiled warmly at him even though she knew werewolves had a shorter life span and weren’t exactly immortal as vampires. But she wouldn’t think of that on this special day – she’d do everything to keep him by her side. 

There was applause from the crowd which died off when she picked the remaining ring and turned to Asher, he had a giddy expression on and looked happier than he has ever been. 

“Let this beautifully crafted ring always be a reminder of my promises to you and the unwavering bond between us,” she promised and slipped the ring on his finger. 

“You may now kiss your grooms,” the officiant announced. 

Asher and Daniel lowered their head and pecked her on the cheeks. They each would have gone for the passionate kiss but some people were still not comfortable with this kind of marriage hence toned it down a bit – they’d take their public display of affection somewhere better and private. 

This time a thunderous clap reverberated across the aisle as they had been proclaimed “Husbands and wife”. The guests could not hold back their happiness anymore. The sight was so sweet and heart-stirring amid its awkward tension. Everyone stood to their feet, greeting the new married couples with deafening rapturous applause. 

“This is being uploaded online right?” Hailey asked while fulfilling the rectitude of clapping alongside the others. 

“Yep,” answered Hazel who returned to her seat after fulfilling her ring bearer role. 

“My reputation is ruined,” there was a resigned look on her face. 

“Why care about those measly humans’ opinions?” Hazel couldn’t understand her sister’s obsession with popularity and power, “You should be happy our parents got together successfully,”

They had gotten mixed reactions From some humans – a few percent were open to the idea – about their mother getting married to both men. Not that their mother cared about their attitude – she went ahead with the wedding anyway.

Since only the supernaturals understood the need to get married to both men, most invitations were given out to them. But to their greatest surprise, many humans turned up than expected – guess human nature would never change. They would try to discourage you from an idea yet be the first to look forward to it.

Still, the population of supernaturals to humans was larger since Lia was the Council Head, every clan and pack has attended to pay respects and forge alliances. 

It was not surprising the girls had gotten a list of dancing requests before the dance even began officially. But the priority was making sure the human guests returned safely without any unfortunate incident. 

Though all guests had been warned; vampires were to rein in their bloodlust; witches, their jealousy; werewolves; their anger. There was still a chance of an incident happening, not to talk of some daredevils, so Lia had put every necessary protocol in place to prevent that from happening. 

Hailey groaned and turned to her brother, “Could you stop tapping your feet, my ears are quite sensitive and it’s getting on my nerves,” she glared at him.

“Sophia is not here yet,” Ashton was nervous. For some strange reasons, he was abnormally restless today nor could he tell whether it was because of his mate’s absence.

“Well, have some patience, she’d -” 

“Sorry I’m late,” the girl hurried over to their row. 

“Just as I was saying,” Hailey added, “You’re welcome,” 

“Wow, you look stunning,” Ashton breathed, feeling butterflies in his stomach amid that restless feeling. 

“Thank you,” Sophia blushed, tugging her curled tendril behind her ear. She took the seat Ashton had intentionally reserved for her. 

“How are your parents?” Ashton asked out of concern. 

After their fight in the woods that day, they had gone to see her parents as expected. Let’s just say her parents were more welcoming than the others so far. 

“They are slowly adjusting to the new me – it’s kind of crazy for them too. I guess it’s hard trying to take in the fact that their baby girl would live for centuries while they die eventually, plus feeding on vampire blood – thankfully not theirs,” she chuckled nervously,” It’s hard for me too, ” she gulped. 

“Don’t worry,” Ashton cupped her face, “We’re going to go through this together,” He bent and kissed her.

“Ugh,” Hailey was disgusted seeing her younger brother swapping saliva with his mates five minutes after her arrival. The troublemaker turned to Hazel who wasn’t bothered by the scene, “Sucks for those who don’t have a mate yet,” she intentionally prodded her. 

“Oh, don’t worry he’s going to find me today,” Hazel waved her provocation off. 

“How did you know?” 

Hazel turned to smirk at Hailey, “I saw it in my vision,” she tapped her temple, “Sucks for those who can’t see the future,” she returned the treatment. 

“Whatever,” Hailey rolled her eyes and stood to her feet, “Thankfully, the dance has begun,” she winked at her, “Going to find my mate while yours finds you. Goodluck”
