Her King

I never realized how it feels to be nervous until this moment. Never in my life, I have imagined being this anxious and the agitation of my beast is also not helping me at all.

My beast just demands to be with her, to have her in our arms. Especially after he has sensed changes in her, he is going insane with worry even I am worried because I can notice she is not keeping well. My blood is helping her to gain her strength but this doesn’t mean that I will take any issue related to her health lightly.

“Relax, soon she will be here.” Felix places his hand on my shoulder and smiles at me reassuringly, “A few more moments, then officially you will lose your freedom.” He jokes trying to lighten up the mood.

An involuntary smile appears on my lips, just thinking about the moment when our union will be declared in front of the world. After today, Atlas and Regina’s names can never be separated, and whoever dared to come in between us I will unite them with their death.

In just a matter of some time, I will finally be able to call her mine in front of the world. Even though it is just an obligation, because in every sense she is mine, however, after today everyone will know that we both belong to each other. No one else’s name can be attached with hers other than mine and I will be only known as hers.

Her presence brings a sense of warmth and comfort to my heart, instantly calming my beast, even before she has appeared before my sight. My eyes are glued to the path anxiously waiting to get a glimpse of her.

The world around me fades into nothingness the second I watch her walking towards me looking nothing but ethereal in her white gown.

My Regina is beautiful, but today seeing her as my bride makes it difficult for me to define how breathtakingly stunning she looks.

I just feel like I have traveled back to the moment when the first time I have laid my eyes on her.

All the emotions rush back to me and hits my heart in waves as she takes steps towards me slowly covering the distance between us. The happiness of finding my soul engulfs my heart and it feels like my heart has learned to beat all over again.

Her eyes meet mine while her bewitching smile steals my breath. I can’t believe my fate has blessed me with her. She is everything that I could have ever asked for. I recall the days of my loneliness and remember how at one point I had given all my hope to find my destined one. But now when I see her everything else seems so small in front of the bliss which I feel every moment when I am with her.

She raises her eyebrows while her smile widens when she notices my awestruck expression. You can’t blame me to be entranced by the beauty of my love. For me, she is the most beautiful woman. Her beauty shines from within because she owns a beautiful heart, and I feel nothing but honored that she is the one who is chosen for me.

Her eyes never leave mine as if just like for me no one else exists for her. The happiness which is shining in her eyes is just the reflection of how much all this means to her.

Before I can realize my hand already extends in her direction the moment she reaches me. Her Uncle places her hand in mine while others laugh at my eagerness to hold her. What they don’t know that my beast is feeling extremely restless and annoyed the way some of the men are eyeing my bride, and it is taking every bit in me not to go and suck the life out of them.

I need her touch to calm me and my beast because she is our peace.

Regina looks at me and mouths ‘I love you’ earning a low chuckle from me because she does these unexpected things which always manages to calm my agitation.

Her lips turn into a soft smile while I curl my fingers around her hand in a secure grip.

Momentarily, she tears her gaze away from mine and turns to look at her Uncle who has walked her down the aisle. Smiling at him, she kisses his cheek. His emotions evident in his eyes, but his face never reveals much. He kisses her forehead then after giving me a curt nod he goes back to the seats joining her Nonna.

We both stand in front of each other, holding each other's hands as the wedding officiant commence the wedding ceremony.

I completely ignore whatever the officiant is saying because my entire focus is on Regina. Judging by the look on her face, it is obvious even she is hardly paying attention to the words as her eyes are locked with me.

“Do you Atlas King take Regina Michaels as your lawfully wedded wife?” The officiant moves his eyes to me and finally asks the question whose answer is engraved on my heart.

“I do!” Smiling at Regina, I say the words which will make her mine in everyone’s eyes.

On the other hand, my beast scoffs because he finds this question completely idiotic because we have already accepted her as our other half and our Queen.

“Do you Regina Michaels take Atlas King as your lawfully wedded husband?” Glancing at Regina, he asks.

"Yes, I do." A soft smile spread on her lips while she grips my hands tightly in hers. "I accept Atlas King as my other half."

My heart expands with love because she has accepted in front of everyone that she accepts us as hers. While my beast who was a moment ago ridiculing this question goes ecstatic hearing these words from her mouth.

"You may now exchange the rings." Officiant motions.

Felix comes forward and places the ring in my hand while Regina's cousin hands her the ring.

We both at the same time extend our hands to make each other wear the ring. This causes everyone to laugh making Regina roll her eyes. However, the smile which is settled on her lips never waivers.

"Together?" I raise my eyebrows and suggest.

"Together." She nods her head happily.

So we both slip the rings into each other fingers at the same time.

"Now you may kiss the bride."

As soon as these words reach our ears. Regina takes a step towards me while my arms go around her as I capture her lips.

I can feel her happiness and love through the kiss and I am sure even my emotions are also reaching her clearly.

"Our first kiss as husband and wife," she whispers with a shy smile as I break the kiss.

"Now I pronounce you husband and wife," Officiant announces and soon every other sound drown in the loud cheers which come from our families and friends.

I take this opportunity to kiss my bride which makes her laugh but nevertheless, she responds to the kiss with the same amount of love that I am pouring into the kiss.

I am feeling over the moon because finally, Regina is mine. My queen, my wife, and my soul.
