A Highland Werewolf Wedding - By Terry Spear Page 0,115
place in our bedchamber,” she said, taking a deep breath, her eyes misty with tears.
He loved her with all his heart, the she-wolf who would protect him. If she’d been with her uncles at that time, he knew she would have defended Cearnach even then and probably made her uncle return Cearnach’s sword to him.
He handed the flashlight back to Ian, who returned it to Logan. Cearnach’s gaze shifted again to the treasure before him. In her McKinley plaid wedding gown, she looked every bit the Highland lass, her hair pinned up in curls around her head, the bottom of her gown showing off lace-trimmed petticoats underneath. He wanted nothing more than to remove the McKinley plaid from her sweet body and the pins from her hair, and return her to their chambers at Argent.
“I thought to remove all weapons from our bedchamber and turn the room into a garden-like setting. The treasure is yours to do with what you will.”
“No,” she said, wrapping her arm around Cearnach’s and tugging him out of the cellar and across the inner bailey to the chapel. Everyone hurried inside to take their places again. “I found my treasure, and it isn’t merchandise but one hot-blooded Highland wolf in a kilt.”
Smiling, he leaned down to kiss her, and his mother said, “There’s time enough for that after the wedding, Cearnach.”
He ignored her and kissed Elaine like there would be no tomorrow. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him right back, deeply, passionately, with all her heart. She had evaded him all those years ago to finally find her way into his arms, into his life again, this time to stay.
Cearnach breathed in the scent of Elaine, the wind and wet breeze, the she-wolf’s sweet fragrance. He tasted her wine-flavored mouth, felt her heated soft body pressed against his, and wanted nothing more than to take her home now and mate with her again.
He turned to address the minister. “Finish with all haste.” He vowed they’d have the feasting done in the inner bailey in record time, and then he and his bonny lass would return to Argent Castle alone.
He loved her with every fiber of his being and realized as he saw Calla beaming at them near the front of the chapel that his plan to attend her wedding and change her mind about marrying Baird McKinley had brought him to this.
His own wedding—with the wolf of his dreams.
