Chapter Twenty-Eight

Chandler's POV
"Ahhh man we still have all that homework to work on.
" I said as Clay had reached his room. " I think I just might slack off on it this time. I'm really not in the mood to make up all of it." Clay sat me down on his bed and raised an eyebrow at me. 
"You mean the woman that said only a few hours ago that she wasn't going to slack off on the homework, because we shouldn't take advantage of our title doesn't want to do the homework anymore?
" He gave me a smart ass smile mad I rolled my eyes at him. 
"You must be rubbing off on me I guess.
Your a bad influence on me" I brought my legs up to my chest and leaned back into the chair.
"Hey I'm not complaining.
Cause I really wasn't looking forward to doing it anyways. So score one for me making you be a slacker like myself." He gave me one of his cheesy grins as he kneeled down next to me and put his chin on my knees. I ran my hand through his hair and he winked at me. "So I have a question for you."
"What's your question?
" He bit his lip lightly and ran his hand over my thigh. 
"If I asked you to marry me would you say yes?
" I'm pretty sure every cell in my body froze at those words. "Chandler I didn't mean to freak you out. Please don't be mad at me." I shook my head and looked at him. To say that he looked worried would be an understatement. 
"Why would I be mad about that?

"Well I know this is all new to you cause we move a lot faster than most humans people.
I'm not going to ask you right now but, I'd like to know if I do ask you some time in the future you would say yes?" I smiled at him and cupped his face with my hands.
"Of course I would how could I say no to that.
I love you to pieces and I'd love it if you asked me to marry you." Clay took my hands into his and kissed them.
"You have no idea how happy that makes me.
" He pulled me forward into a hug and kept me there for a while. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~a year later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Clayton's POV
"Luke please tell me I gave you the ring.
I can't remember if I did or didn't. Oh my gosh I feel like I'm forgetting everything lately."
"Clayton you gave me the ring now shut up man.
Good grief you sound like a woman. Your stressing me out, just calm the flip down" he smacked the back of my head and I paused for a minute.
"Sorry I've just really been nervous about today and I don't want to look like an idiot because I forgot something.
" I sat on the chair next to me and put my head between my hands.
"It's alright Clayton.
Your getting married today. It's completely understandable. But you know it really only matters what chandler thinks. I don't think she would ever think your an idiot. Well unless you did something seriously idiotic but, still chandler loves you. Stop worrying already." I looked up at my brother and smiled at him. I never thought we would ever be this close ever again. But some how we did and we owe it all to my gorgeous mate. 
"Thanks Luke, I'm glad I have you here to talk some sense into me.
"
"Who would have thought you guys would be getting along so well.
" We both turned towards the door our dad was standing in. "Well boys we better get out there. The ladies say we need to be at our posts and I'm not about to go against those women today. That's just asking for it." We all laughed and we headed outside the pack house. Chandler and I both decided that we wanted to get married at the pack cabin. My mother and chandlers even had a giant gazebo made especially for this. 
I can still remember Chandler's face when I purposed to her a few months ago.
I wanted it to be a surprise because she already knew that I was proposing anyways. I took her to my secret spot. I thought for sure she knew what I was doing. But I guess she was so stressed about getting finals over with. Which she didn't have to worry about cause she had straight A's for the rest of the year. She was studying and I had to pretty much drag her away because she wouldn't stop. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Clayton I don't mean to sound rude but, we have to hurry up here.
I've gotta study calculus." She sat up from the ground after I forcefully made her lay down and close her eyes. 
"For what the hundredth time.
Your going to burn yourself out Chandler. That's why you need to take a break with me, right now, and in our secret spot. Now shhh." I closed my eyes again and she huffed to herself and laid back down. "I'm doing this for your on good you know. You need a break and that's what your getting. So don't be grumpy."
"Then be quiet then so I can relax.
" I laughed a bit and peaked over at her. Her eyes were closed and so I decided to pull the small little box out of my pocket. I've never been so nervous in my life. My hands were shaking like crazy. "Are you alright?" I looked over at her and she had a worried look on her face. "Your heart started racing. Are you mad? I'm sorry I've been studying so much. I'm just really nervous about passing and-" I cut her off by kissing her. She just looks to dang sexy when she jabbers on like at. I pulled back and looked at her. Her eyes were closed and she took a deep breath in.
"Even though I think your sexy when you jabber on like that.
Stop apologizing, I don't care. I'm just making you take a break cause I wanted some time away from the work with you." A small smile grew on her lips. "I also wanted to talk to you for a little while." I sat up and put my arms over my knees.
"What did you want to talk about?
" She sat up a threaded her arm through one of mine. I grabbed her hand and threaded my fingers through hers. I rubbed my thumb over hers as she leaned her head onto my shoulder.
"I wanted to know how your doing with the alpha training my moms doing with you?
" Well I didn't exactly want to ask her that. Good grief I can't even get the words out.
"It's going great.
Your mom makes it look a lot easier than is though. I don't know if I'm ever going to be as good as she is." She said with a little sigh.
"You'll be amazing and everyone will fall even more in love with you.
I don't know why you doubt yourself so much." I kissed the top of her head and she looked up at me. 
"You want to tell me why your so nervous?
You heart is going crazy. Do you feel alright?" She placed her hand on my fore head and looked my face over.
"I'm alrrrii-ghht, I just...
" My mouth started to tremble and my hands began to shake. Chandler got on her knees in front of me. Her hands came to my face and she looked into my eyes.
"Hey tell me what's wrong?
Your freaking me out here."I let a shaky laugh out and kissed the inside of her hand. 
"Sorry I fill like an idiot.
You just make me nervous sometimes." She giggled at me and I pulled her into my lap maneuvering my hand so she can't see the box inside it. I kissed her and all my worries melted away with it. "I'm so lucky I have you. The heavens really out did themselves for getting me a mate like you." She laughed and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"I completely agree.
I've won the jackpot." She kissed me slowly and I pulled back to look at her.
"Well I'm glad because...
" I paused and gently slid her off my lap and she stood up. I stayed down on one knee and took a deep breath before I looked up at her. "You have no idea how much you make me want to be a better man and alpha. You give me strength, happiness, and quite frankly I can't wait to see your face every day I wake up. You would make me the happiest guy in the world if you would marry me?" Her mouth dropped and her heart began to race. As I opened the box she took a sharp intake of breath. "You know not giving me an answer is starting to worry me again." She leaped forward wrapping her arms around me.
"Yes!
" I held her as she hugged me tightly. When she pulled back she wiped tears from her eyes. "You totally surprised me. I had no idea you were going to do this today."
"That was the plan.
" She laughed as I slipped the ring onto her finger.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~end of flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was brought out of my memory with the music that started.
I looked up and saw my mom and chandlers come to sit down in their chairs. Roxie came walking down the isle first. Followed by Suzie and then Nelly walked down after her. The music changed and everyone stood up. My hands began to shake because I knew what that meant. Chandler came out of the French doors and my heart stopped. 
Chandlers POV
As the doors opened with the change of the music my heart sped up.
I closed my eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. I've never felt more nervous in my life. It's a good thing a found a dress that feels comfortable and is still beautiful. Cause with the nervousness I've had today it would be driving me crazy if it wasn't. 
I opened my eyes as my dad cleared his throat.
 
"Are you ready dear" I smiled at him and nodded.
He took my arm and began to walk me down the stairs. I looked up as we got to the bottom and my eyes met those gorgeous blue ones down the isle. He looked amazing in his suit. I saw him take a hard swallow as he looked me up and down. I smiled at him and he smiled back at me. His smile reached his eyes. I can't get over how good looking this man is. As I got closer I could see the tiny tears welling up in his eyes. It made me want to cry as I watched him wipe a tear from his cheek. Luke patted him on the back and smiled at me. Never would I have thought those two would be so close like this. We reached Clay and I couldn't help the giant smile that came over my face. My dad placed a kiss on my forehead and gave me a hug. "I love you sweetheart."
"I love you dad.
" I squeezed him tightly and he let go of me. He took my right hand and transferred it over to Clay's.
"You take care of her now.
" He gave him a jokingly stern look but smiled at him.
"Yes sir.
" I walked closer to him and he took in a shaky breath.
"I thought you said you weren't nervous.
" I giggled at him and he shook his head.
"Well you didn't tell me you were wearing that.
" He looked over my dress and a few people that heard him which was everyone being werewolves and all laughed.
As the ceremony went on we said our vows which made me cry like a little baby.
Why does that boy have to be so goo with words? Before I knew it the man had announced us husband and wife.
"You may kiss your bride.
" He smiled over at Clay. Clay turned to and held my face in his hands.
"You have this to look forward for forever.
" He quickly leaned in and kissed me. The wasn't like any  other kiss that we had shared. It was sweet, passionate, fiery, and left you wanting more. When he pulled back he placed his forehead on mine. I hadn't even noticed all of the cheers in the background. That's a pretty dang good kiss if it cancels out sound. "I love it when your heart races when I kiss you." He gently placed another kiss to my lips and turned us toward the crowd. All of his buddies were cheering him on as we started walking down the isle. My mom leaped out and wrapped me in a hug. Dad decided to join in on this one and our embrace became tighter. Clay let go of my hand as my parents whispered how proud they were of me. We pulled away from each other and I looked over to Clay where Anthony was whispering in his ear for something. Clay looked up at me and winked. He stepped away from Anthony and took my hand again. We walked further down the isle and thanked everyone for coming. We went back inside the house to talk with each other before the reception started.
"You look very handsome.
" I said as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"There are no words for the way you look in this dress.
I'm not going to be able to keep my hands off you." He started to kiss my neck and then got close to my bite mark.
"If you like this wait until you see what I'm wearing for you later.
" He pulled back quickly and growled a little bit. I bit my lip as he arched his eyebrow at me.
"You realize that now that is all I'm going to picture today right?
" I laughed a little and placed a kiss on his lips.
"That was the idea.
" I started to walk away with a little bit more than an exaggerated hip sway and was returned with a growl behind me. Arms quickly swooped around me again and he pulled me into his chest.
"I'm so glad I have this to look forward to for the rest of our lives.
" He squeezed me tightly and placed a kiss on my cheek. 
"I'm so glad that the player found my weakness.
" We both chuckled and decided it was time to go back with everyone. 
"Ladies and gentlemen the bride and groom!
" I heard my dad shout as we walked out the doors. Everyone cheered and clapped for us. The whole pack was there and I couldn't of been happier. I've gotten to know everyone and its been amazing to see all the different people. We were both handed glasses and Clay stepped forward to speak.
"I would just like to say how happy Chandler and I are that you are all here to share this with us.
We wouldn't be hear today if it wasn't for a lot of you. I would also like to thank our parents for being patient and working with us." Everyone in the crowd laughed at that. Clayton was more of a bridezilla then I was and everyone knew it. "It's been wonderful being part of a new family and I'm so grateful you let me take your daughter and be able to love her." Both my parents smiled at each other and then back up at him. "Most of all I would like to thank this woman right here." He turned around and looked at me. "She is my life line and my rock. She keeps me grounded and makes me want to be a better man. Never have I been more grateful to the spirits than today for giving me her as a mate. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her and start a family of my own. I already know that she will be a great alpha and I'm glad I'll have her to lean on." He smiled at me as he leaned in to kiss me. Everyone clapped at his speech. I loved it when he talked to everyone like that. It was sexy and I didn't even know why. "Now please everyone be merry and lets get to partying shall we."
And that was the wonderful beginning of our life together.

The End
