Love is compromise, it’s not about you anylonger, its about us and in as much as we try to ocherstrate a happily ever after, it never goes the way we want, so let loose and let love, it will figure itself out, with the right person.
Adele ~’ Sweetest Devotion
Savage.
“Oh, what happened?” I groaned trying to maneuver my way out of the piles of bodies ontop of me, my best friends were all around me, we had the craziest, most drunken bachelor party in history, no strippers ofcourse Matty would castrate me, I looked around, my throat dry and groggy, wasn’t I getting married today, the thought kept nagging me. “Reece back to sleep.” Luca, Ralliel’s twin whined as he dropped himself ontop of me, with a whine he was out like a light, he was such a child.
Before I could confuse myself even more the curtains were opened, the bright sunlight invaded the room making me and the rest of the boys hiss loudly. “Dad what the hell!” Ralliel yelled as indeed Linden Everlin had drawn the curtains and was torturing our souls with sunlight. “Im going to count to two, if you aren’t up by then, you don’t want to know what happens next, get off your naked asses this instant.” He sweetly addressed us making me feel a chill of dread crawl up my spine, he was just like my dad, sweet looking and adorably short but more vicious than the devil.
“One.” He stated and all of us were by our feet, if only we got there gracefully. “We are up dad, we are up.” Luca whined as he rubbed his stomach. “I can’t believe you boys, what did you even do to black out naked ontop of the dining table.” He grumbled as ice cold water was splashed all over us. “That should do it.” I knew that voice all too well, uncle Marquee, we were definitely in trouble now, but the cold water on our butt naked bodies did wake us up. I turned with a charming smile toward my uncle who was glaring at me yet he had a smile on his face, how he could pull that off astounded me, his body was still something to be amazed with, he was just as old as dad but the wolf was built like a tank and had the beauty of a greek god, whichever one had the best looks.
“Alright boys, now that you’re awake, you’re going to shit, shower, shave and get in your suits, we have exactly two hours and since Savage who is still seeing the cosmos is the one getting married along with Ralliel his coconspirator to this madness and best man, they will go first, get a move on.” Linden ordered and the both of us scampered upstairs to my bedroom, it seems the two army generals down there had already gotten a handle on having me married off to the love of my life.
I paused looking at the picture of Matty eating strawberries by my bed side, we were really getting married today, after a slight whirlwind of planning by our parents and dealing with Alexis and Marquis’s situation, with the addition of getting Xander’s life back on track without him falling into a depressive state, a lot had happened in the course of time leading to our wedding but that was a story both Xander and Alexis would have to tell.
“Earth to hungover Savage, we need to get ready, you don’t want my dad breaking your man tools before your honeymoon, I suggest you do as he says.” Ralliel called out breaking me out of my thought process, his words weren’t lost on me because I shuddered and cupped my cock before running into the bathroom, like the generals said, shit,shower, shave and look pretty. I was done in record time as Xander and Luca showed up by the door with towels by their waists. “Boys get a move on, Lexi just told me that Matty and his entourage are nearly done, Savage sit.” Uncle Marquee stated as he made me face the large mirror Matty took hours sitting infront of making his hair perfect.
“I’m not cutting, I’m styling.” The large wolf mumbled as sprays and gels were mixed into my hair, how he knew what he was doing shocked me. “I see having three boys and two girls has taught you life skills.” Linden chortled making me and Marquee laugh, the wolf styling my hair nodded as he high fived Linden, everyone always wondered how Linden and Marquee got to be best friends, but they made it work and if anyone asked, you wouldn’t need any sort of proof to prove the fact that they were inseparable, ask their husbands.
Back to me getting married, we were all done, my suit was fitted perfectly and my hair along with my face according to my little brothers,was a masterpiece. “Lets get going.” Xander asserted as we all got out of the house and into the several cars waiting outside, Matty and our parents had chosen a spot near the lake where we always ran to if we needed space, I guess that’s where our loved bloomed, I would always cherish it. “Nervous?” Uncle Marquee questioned and I nod, he took my hand and squeezed just enough to make me feel better and I did.
“I felt nervous when I married my husband, but doing this means you’re brave enough to face the world with Matty by your side, that your choice to be with him was the right one because being nervous means you’re afraid of disappointing him, but that’s something you’ll work on everyday together, for the rest of your lives, plus being afraid means you’ve made the right choice, now you will walk up that isle and wait for your forever, because you’re the second bravest kid I know.” Uncle Marquee’s words made my heart race, those words were profound and I never expected to hear them from him, I now knew why dad and pops wanted him to be there to help me get ready.
As I turned to get out of the car, I looked at my uncle. “Who is the bravest kid, if I’m second?” I questioned and a wide smile graced his face. “Matty Savage Heathen, he’s marrying his adopted alpha wolf brother, who would be braver than that.” He replied with a glint in his eyes that I recognized any time any of my family or friends spoke of Matty, adoration.
Standing by the altar, I waited and when the scent of my mate hit me before I could even see him I knew that was it, today was the day, everyone stood up as Matty with now back length raven black hair stood next to our father, he looked breathtakingly beautiful, other worldly. “Gorgeous.” The so called priest behind me mumbled. “Oh I know.” I smugly retorted as my eyes never left my mate.
As they walked toward us I couldn’t help smile toward my mate who had his suit fitted to make sure he wasn’t suffocated with his baby bump, oh that I forgot to mention, I had knocked up my mate, pops did break my bones but he showered Matty with candy and kisses, like I wasn’t the one who didn’t shoot blanks to have that growing brat, but nonetheless I had my family.
“He’s our treasure.” Pops mumbled as he guided Matty’s hands to mine, the two of them wiped away tears as uncle Emric came forward and took pop’s arm. “Its time to let him go.” He whispered next to pops who nodded, I knew how much Matty meant to pops and dad, they loved all their kids but Matty was their everything even if he wasn’t theirs by blood.
“We wont be asking if anyone wants to refute this alliance, the alpha will rip them apart.” The priest officiating joked making everyone laugh, as Matty stood in front of me, he was everything I wanted. “Dearly beloved, yada yada, we all know why we’re here.” The priest yet again fumbled over making me facepalm. “Uncle Train, aren’t you supposed to be taking this seriously.” I finally called him out on his comics and everyone laughed. “Fine fine, these two have prepared their own vows, please Matty you may go first.” He stated and Matty sighed.
“I suck at this whole grand showing of love speech, you know that, but what you didn’t know up until now was that I’ve loved you since I was a child, pined over you when I was a teen and had wet dreams that were all filled with you-” He paused as everyone laughed. “When you chased the boys who wanted to get close to me I swooned because you acted like prince charming, and I always made sure that a situation or two happened to make sure you were positively obsessed with me, but scheming didn’t work, so I just loved you, without restraint and you became my best friend, my confidante, and the wolf I’m madly inlove with today, I love you Savage from the bottom of my heart to the top of it, and I promise to be with you, in sickness and in health, in our future fights and joyful moments, forever is a long time we both know that and I wouldn’t mind spending it with you.” He finished as he wiped away tears, I tried to control mine but it was futile.
I chuckled nervously, how can a wolf top that. “I don’t have a lot since I tell you each day how much I love you and our kid, Matty you were my brother before being my lover, I damned the world and loved you, each day that’s passed since then with you by my side, I never regret, you’re my dream come true, Blue and I would do anything, kill anyone just to hold your hand and please you, I will never do anything to hurt you or our child, I will try to be the best husband and father because that’s all I got to offer, I do promise to give you my all but that doesn’t mean I wont stumble, I am not perfect but for you I will do anything, so I vow to love you through hardships and triumphs, throug our future fights and joyful moments, I will never hurt you but I don’t promise not to bite-” I winked at him and his cheeks flushed. “I love you hermosa, now and all throughout our forever.” I finished wiping away my own tears and his.
“Do you Matheo Heathen take Reece Heathen as your lawfully wedded husband?” Train questioned “I do.” He turned to me. “Do you Reece Savage Heathen take Matheo Heathen as your lawfully wedded husband?” Without hesitation. “I do.” I replied instantly. “With every wolf here as witness to your love I now pronounce you man and wolf, kiss him already.” Uncle Train announced whilst nudging me forward, I held my mate as I kissed him, howls and cheers rang out around us, they were happy for us, this was it, in everyone’s eyes he was mine.
We took our first steps away from the arch toward the car that woulf take us to the pack house for the reception, later we would be off to Europe, we were going to tour a few countries and a friend had offered to have us for a while the Caster Rielo Pack exiled alpha who enjoyed his exile and an old friend, Harley Roosevelt, it would be wonderful to see him again but right now, these were the steps to FOREVER.

Knowing and having finally finished writing this book makes me feel as if I’ve achieved something worth the praise, out of all my werewolf books Savage has to be my favourite, I wrote it with so much emotion and the need to show myself and others that love was love, it can come in any shape, form or colour or you have to do is trust in it.
We’ve come to the end of Savage’s story but not the Heathen clan’s story, PAGAN will be in the publishing cloud soon, I have a feeling I’m not the only one interested in knowing about the twins. So until then I will stay grateful, for the votes, comments and shares along with the follows.
