To be Claimed by Her

Tying the Knot

Silas's POV

We stumbled into the great room at the palace, exhausted, and dirty. Between battling Erebus and then facing the Council of the Gods, all of us were ready to collapse. Axel carried in our protesting love. "Put me down, you caveman! I'm not injured, I can walk you know," she huffed as she slapped his chest.

"Nope, not leaving my eyesight for at least the next hundred years, Dove," he said, covering her face in kisses.

"I agree, Seirína, you have to stay in our eyesight and in our beds," I chuckled.

She growled, "You do realize I have royal responsibilities, right? I can't just sit in your laps all day having sex."

"Gabe, conjure fruit cup now," Raven said. Gabe laughed and made a rather large fruit cup appear in Raven's hands. "Now, malen'kiy voin, accept this and become our zhena." He pushed the cup into her hands, grabbed her face, and kissed her. When he pulled back her eyes were glassy as she kept looking at him then the fruit.

"Ahem, be right back," North said and sped from the room, returning in a matter of minutes. He was grinning like a madman.

So, we are doing this right now, huh? Gabe asked all of us.

We all quickly responded with variations of - Yes!

"Alrighty then," he muttered. With a quick wave of his and Nate's hands, we were all suddenly clean and dressed in tuxedos. Seirína was now in a flowing white gown with silvery beadwork.

"Wait, what," she stuttered as Axel placed her on her feet and we all got down on one knee.

We all spoke in the order we bonded with her. "You literally saved my life the first time I laid eyes on you, little wolf. I would be honored to spend eternity with you as my wife," Gabe said, kissing her hand.

"Jewel, you set my body on fire from the first touch. I will love and protect you for eternity, marry me," Victor said.

I ran my thumb over her hand and kissed it softly, "From the moment I watched you dancing in the moonlight to now, you have held me captive, Seirína. Please be my gynaíka."

"You are my reason for living, my mate and my Luna. Will you do me the honor of being my wife as well," Kota asked.

"The last thing I felt in my human life was your arms around me, and even as a vampire, I never want to know a world without you, my Queen. Marry me, please," North asked.

"My fiery Valkyrie, you stormed into our lives and nothing has been the same since. You make me a better man and I would be honored to be your husband, marry me," Nate said.

"Oh Star, you are my guiding light and love, please marry me," Sean said.

Axel pressed her hand to his forehead, then kissed it before speaking, "My beautiful Dove, I tried to fight fate and in the end, I found the most amazing love I've ever known, please marry me."

"Minx, you made me believe in love again. You not only gave me your heart, but you gave me back my brothers. Marry me," Marc said.

"From the moment I saw you in my dreams, I knew you would change my life. I love you more than words can express, dreamgirl. Please marry me," Corey said.

"When you jumped out of North's jeep I was a goner, Firecracker. Where you go, I go. Will you be my wife?" Brandon asked.

"You were a goddess when we met, then you became a warrior, now be my wife," Raven said.

"Pixie, I was yours that day in the field, Please marry me and be mine for always," Luke asked.

Owen cleared his throat, "Tesoro, you gave me back my family, made me admit my love for Sean, and even gave me my mother back. I am now and always will be yours, please marry me."

"Ástvinur, I have waited thousands of years to love you, please marry me," Loki asked.

Tears were streaming down her face as she hiccuped softly. Gabe stood and wiped her tears then placed the ring on her hand. "Little wolf?" he asked softly.

She looked at all of us slowly, "Yes, a thousand times, yes!" We all jumped up and hugged and kissed her and each other.

"Oh good, this would have been really awkward if she'd said no," Queen Orrica said walking in with a long silver cloth and Cailleach.

Eveleen raised her eyebrows as Owen chuckled, "I may have given your mother a heads up. We can have a full wedding later if you wish, Tesoro, but for now can we please make it binding?" She nodded yes.

I can't remember the words Cailleach spoke exactly, I was too enraptured watching my Seirína. Just as we had done with our proposals, she said something individual to each of us as the cloth was wrapped around our wrists in handfasting and blessing. Then Cailleach asked if any others wanted to marry individually. It was no surprise when Sean and Owen exchanged vows or Gabe and Victor for that matter. Axel and I decided to wait. Our relationship with Marc was still new and we didn't want to rush. I admit I was surprised when North got down on one knee and proposed to Brandon, who said yes. Raven and Corey confessed they had gotten married while in London during their time away from the Toma team, but they renewed their vows with handfasting.

We relaxed, ate, and then turned the main hall into a giant bedroom once again. Let's just say, the wedding night adventures did not disappoint, and Seirína even agreed to let us collar her.
