Alaric's POV I woke early, looking down at this beautiful woman laying against my body, she fits so perfectly into me. I gently moved her hair from her face, she is perfection to me, I can't believe she loves me to the extent she dies, I don't deserve her love or kindness.I needed to go down to see Sydney, I still can't even fathom what could have and still is going on in her head. Doesn't she see that by doing what she did, she's not just hurting my mate but everyone else around us, including me. How can she be so selfish? I thought I knew her but I was definitely wrong, should never have trusted her to the extent that I did.looking back down to my Queen, I just can't bring myself to wake her, last night was a lot, she needs the rest.I slowly slid myself from her, angling my pillow beside her so my scent was still strong with her. 'Hope she doesn't get mad when she wakes to us being gone' I grabbed some clothes for the day getting changing in the bathroom before sneaking out of

Chloe's POV As he lifted me out of the tub, bending me over the side he made a point to ask if I was sure since he had a few days left in his punishment, what he doesn't realize is, this is torture for myself as well as him. Yes I have been taking advantage of the situation, but to feel him cum inside me, ugh, I miss it so much, feeling him deep inside me, his cock pulsating, I need this."Yes! I need it, please, punishment over" my voice was definitely more beastly than I had intended but the next moment was all that mattered.He brought himself to my entrance, rubbing the tip of his hard cock up, then down before he slowly pushed just the tip inside me, a deep moan leaving his lips before he slammed in me, so deep he hit my cervix hard, it hurt making me scream before he continued slamming into me, harder, then faster, my whole body heating up, a tightness over came me before he forced another orgasm out of me. He pulled himself out of me, as I gasped at the feeling of being empty

Chloe's POV The next few weeks flew by. My dress was done, also more than I had ever hoped or dreamed it would be.It ran down to the floor on my small frame as it laid perfectly down on me hugging every little curve of mine.The lace work ran my arms, to a point over my hand, delicately sliding over my middle fingers, tying around them to hold it in place. The intricate pattern went down the top front of my dress in a plunging neckline that revealed my belly button while cupping around my breasts just right. The bottom half of the dress had pearls sewn in upon the lace that had been added creating a train that would follow behind me as I stepped down the aisle. It was like something out of a fairy tale, the vine pattern matched my ring almost perfectly. It took my breath away.My birthday was tomorrow, so my surprise wedding was tomorrow as well. My stomach felt as if it was in knots, it had for the last two weeks now Always feeling a bit on edge, my stomach cascading at times with

Chloe's POV "Good morning my love, Happy Birthday" I open my eyes to see Alaric standing above me with the tray in hand. Stretching out my arms I sniff the air to smell egg benedict with bacon, oh pancakes too with syrup "Mmm smells delicious" I finally got words out before sitting up for him to place the tray over my lap."Good morning my love, thank you so much for all of this I love it." I looked up at him smiling down on me before looking down to my food, when I noticed a smaller box sitting next to the food."What's this? I thought we agreed the wedding is more than enough for my birthday""You agreed to that, I wanted to get you something for the day though, outside of something foe us both" he nudged me as he sat down beside me on the bed, I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face.As I lifted the box to open it I leaned over to kiss him, his soft perfect lips sending shivers down my spine "I love you" came out as I was looking at him, a small smile started on his face

Chloe's POV We finished getting ready, it's time.Aria was walking in front of me as we made out way down the stairs of the house, when we reached the first floor she stopped then turned to me but before she could say anything my mouth shot open, words escaping before the thought fully processed in my head "something isn't right Aria, something feels.... off...." "Oh no Clo, it's just nerves right? That's like a thing when people get married, frozen feet or something" she laughed "it's cold feet" I laughed with her "but I don't have cold feet, I want to marry Alaric, I don't know what it is, but something feels wrong, like I can feel darkness close, I can't shake that something bad is about to happen"I felt a shiver run up my spine, 'Callie, keep our senses heightened, maybe I'm just scared because I know we can't shift if something happens' I could feel her nod but even she seemed a bit perplexed."Maybe it's just new waves of feeling because of the preg
