Special ch.1 - Edited Once

Stella (Edited Once)

The house was in a state of chaos. Everyone was running around the house cleaning and getting ready for our wedding that would be on Friday, and it was Monday morning.

I saw Skye running towards the kitchen with a huge basket full of fruit. I just ignored her and walked to the living room, where it was the least packed place.

When she knew I was pregnant and Julian had proposed to me, she turned... well, she became a control freak who wanted everything to be perfect while I wanted our wedding to be simple and lovely.

She did not let me lift my keys from the floor when I dropped them. She thought that I might hurt the baby that was growing inside of me. I just rolled my eyes and absorbed the situation.

I sat on a couch when I remembered Julian. I missed him so much because he was with his dad and Cody buying the groom’s suit since yesterday.

Turned out that Julian was picky and wanted a suit that was perfect in his eyes. So his dad, Cody, and he stayed the night in the shop trying clothes and suits. Lucky for him, the shop owner was one of our pack members. He was a patient man, to tell you the least.

‘He has to be if he didn’t want to be killed by his very own alpha!’ Dianna commented in my head, and she did have a point.

“Skye... You know we didn’t choose my wedding dress yet, right?” I asked her as she entered the living room and fell on a chair next to the couch that I was comfortable on. Once I said that, her eyes widened.

She forgot.

“Shit! Move Stella, we gotta go to find you the perfect dress! I’ll call Aunt Nancy and tell her to meet us there. Now, wear your shoes, Stella. We don’t have the whole day.” She practically yelled everywhere, and the pack members just closed their ears. Her voice was too loud for the werewolves’ liking. And for my liking.

I sighed and stood up from my very comfortable seat. “Okay, but please calm down, Skye. We have time, and I’m the bride, for God’s sake! I’m not worried like you. Just breathe,” I advised calmly, and she did calm down.

The other wolves gave me big smiles. Appreciation smiles. I just returned the smile and shrugged my shoulders.

The pack members liked me and respected me as their Luna. It made Julian and me very happy and delighted. We had no drama that we usually see in the movies, such as a girl who tries to flirt with the Alpha or an angry pack member who did not get what he wanted. It was all perfect because the Graymod pack was a big, happy family that welcomed me with open arms.

“I’m sorry,” I heard Skye apologize quietly. I waved my hand and grinned.

“Who’s ready to shop?” I asked her, and she gave me her big smile. She nodded, and we got out of our house. We were staying in the pack’s house because Julian and Cody thought it was unsafe for us to be alone in their big homes. Our actual homes. We just agreed without making a scene out of it.

As we entered the shop, we saw Nancy sitting on a chair while talking to the shop owner, who happened to be a werewolf but from another neighboring pack. She looked nice, and she was about sixty years old. “Hello, girls! This is my friend Brooklyn, and she’ll help us with your dress fitting. I just hope you’re not picky like my JoJo,” Nancy hoped, and we laughed.

“Nope, I’m not picky at all. And I know what I want, I want a... Can you show me the catalog, and I’ll tell you what I want?” I asked Brooklyn, and she nodded with a smile. After I flipped through the pages, my eyes landed on a beautiful gown. It was an off-white dress with long sleeves.

I could not help but admire the dress; the girls saw my face and got it for me without asking.

“We have this dress in store, and I think it will suit you on your wedding day; just go to the fitting room and try it,” the old lady said, and I grabbed it and rushed to the fitting room. I was eager to try it on.

After many attempts, I wore it, which perfectly fit my body. I got out of the room and stepped in front of my girls. Once they saw me, they gasped and then jumped up and down. I just laughed and made a twirl.

“What do you think?” I asked, hoping that they liked it. I looked around me and saw the two guards who came with us with wide eyes. “Do I look okay?” I asked them, too, and they almost instantly nodded their heads.

“You look beautiful, Luna,” one stated, and the other smiled brightly.

“Say yes to the dress, Stella; this is the one because it looks perfect on you,” Skye said, and I looked at Nancy to see what she had to say. Her eyes were watery, and her hand was covering her mouth.

“I’ve waited for this day my whole life,” she sniffed and hugged me tightly. “You look magnificent. Julian will be too delighted,” she added with a smirk. I just blushed.

“This is it?” Brooklyn asked to confirm, and I smiled.

“This is it,” I confirmed and hugged her. “Thank you, and I hope I could see you at our wedding on Friday,” I pointed out, and she beamed at me.

“Of course, Luna. I would be honored,” she replied, and we finished what we came here for.

“There is my beautiful Luna,” Julian entered the Packhouse, followed by Cody and Julian’s dad. As he saw me, he ran and embraced me as his life depended on it. “I missed you so much, love. It was hard being there without you,” he breathed in my neck, and I wrapped my arms around him. I missed him.

“Hey, my handsome Alpha. I hope you got your suit!” I mentioned with hope. He lifted his head and looked at me with adoration.

“Yes, I did. How was your day?” He asked and sighed.

“Stressful, but I chose a dress for the big day. I hope you like it when you see it on me,” I replied, and he stood up, then put one hand under my neck and one under my thighs. He carried me bridal style and started walking out of the house.

“I know that you’ll look exquisite. Let’s go to our home and relax,” he replied with a hint of mischief, and I nodded without complaint. “I want to cuddle with my one and only girl,” he added, and I smiled.

“I could use that, and I might not be the only girl you love,” I responded, and he arched his eyebrows while walking through the woods with me in his arms.

“What do you mean?” He asked, and I chuckled and pointed at my stomach.

“I’m pregnant, Julian, so I might be carrying the second girl in your life,” I said, and he nodded as the sudden realization hit him on his head.

“You’re right! I love you so freaking much.” He whispered; his eyes were filled with love, lust, and need, and I just melted at his emotions.

“I love you too. Can’t wait for Friday,” I cleared, and we got to our home.
