Chapter 138: Chapter 138
He smiled and nodded "Her father" he said holding out lux’s hand and putting it in mine. Immediately my skin tingled in recognition of her touch and Lily walked till she stood face to face with me, the preacher in the middle as he said a few words and then told us to say out vows.
"We’ve been through a lot, you and I" Lily started "We’ve faced things no one would even think of, and we made it through everything, together. I love you, and I always will, and I can’t even find words to say how much you mean to me so I’ll spend the rest of my life showing you"
I smiled wanting to kiss her now after all she had said but knew it was my turn. I had no idea what to say for my vows at first and freaked out about it, but eventually figured it out. "Each day I wake up not believing that you’re mine Because your beautiful, and funny, and brave, and so incredibly amazing it makes it hard to breath at times and...you’re you...you’re Lily and there can never be anyone like you and I love you, I love you so much because of that. Because despite of every mistake I made, you still believe in me."
Lily grinned at me and looked at the preacher "Can I just kiss him already?" she asked and laughs echoed in the church, the preacher nodded "I now pronounce you husband and wife you may now-"
Lily didn’t even wait for him to finish and threw her arms around me, crashing her lips onto mine as I immediately wrapped my hands around her waist and kissed her back and at that moment everything was perfect.
*********************
the wedding was beautiful and Ethan and Lily’s vows were amazing. We were in the reception now, it was held in the backyard of the pack house and Lily and her dad dancing to ’I Loved Her First’ by Heartland.
"You look gorgeous, you know that right?" Adrian said snapping me back to reality and I smiled, placing my head on his chest as he put his arm around my shoulders.
"I’m starting to believe it because of you" I said and he gently grabbed my chin and lifted my face and kissed me gently and I smiled into the kiss knowing how lucky I was.
When we finally pulled away Adrian smiled at me "Want something to drink?" he asked and I nodded, he gave me one more kiss before he stood up to get me the drink. My eyes followed him, thinking of how lucky I was when I felt something cool and sharp on my neck. I gasped and was about to yell but a hand covered my mouth
"You’re going to stay quiet, and come with me" My eyes widened at the voice, I’d know it anywhere. I felt myself beginning to panc and immediately used the mind link, which I hadn’t used since I found out about it, to contact Adrian.
Adrian please tell me you can hear me, Luke is here...help
Luke forced me to stand up and was about to turn me around so we could walk away until we heard a growl
"Take your hands off of her" Adrian said furiously, marching towards us as everyone stopped to look at the source of the noise. The blade was pressed tighter on my neck and I knew that the slightest movement would make the knife break the skin.
"Don’t move or I kill her" Luke said and Adrian immediately froze. Are you okay? he asked me via mind link
I’m fine but if I move an inch the knife will pierce my skin
I’ll get you out of this, I promise. You’re going to be okay
"So you’re the asshole" Adrian said "I’m glad you’re here so I can kick your ass"
"Oh don’t count on that" Luke said "When my brother told me you were home, and that you had a new boyfriend I wanted to see who. I already wanted to see you but I changed my mind but when I heard that, you’re mine, Nate. And so is your inheritance."
"I don’t have an inheritance" I said "Mom cancelled it when I moved out"
"Don’t worry, I’ll figure something out" he said and looked at Adrian "Now, we’re leaving and if we get followed, she dies"
"What? Leaving? So soon?" I heard Lily’s voice say and I followed her voice till and saw her standing in her beautiful wedding dress with a gun in her hand trained at Luke’s head.
"How the hell did she hide that in her wedding dress?" I heard Dave ask Jim.
Luke’s hand tightened on the blade and I saw her eeys flash
"You’d be dead before that knife moves an inch" she said coolly looking like she could care less "And I realy wouldn’t like to shoot you on my wedding day, imagine if I your blood reached my wedding dress?"
Lily moved out of Ethan’s grip and walked towards us, her gun still trained on Luke. I noticed Ethan didn’t move but his whole posture was stiff, like he was ready to attack if necessary
"The way I see it" She said as she kept stopped a small distance away from us "You have two options. You could eithe let her go and you won’t die Or you can try slitting her throat but barely make a scratch before I shoot you" she smiled "What do you say?"
Luke stayed still for a few moments before he took the knife away from my throat and just as I thought he was going to step back he tuned me around and was about to stab me with the knife when suddenly he disappeared. I released a breath and tried to calm myself before I looked and saw Adrian punching Luke, who was already unconscious.
