Recap: "Will you marry us Marleen?" ____________________________________ *warning cuteness over load *

3rd POV

Marley's eyes went wide at the question, She looked frantically between the three, checking to see if there was any sign of trickery, but she found none, they were serious.

"I-I"

She stuttered, not even sure if she was dreaming or not. The queens looked desperately at Marley, waiting and hoping beyond anything that she replies.

Marley could feel the eyes on her, she was nervous, she'd never think this kind of thing was to ever happen to her, she had read about this in books and heard the stories, but for it to happen in real life was simply unreal.

After realizing that she had not yet responded Marley shook her head, she knew her answer, and she knew what she wanted.

She looked at Heather, her eyes softened upon seeing the woman before her, And she smiled before responding,

"Yes,"

The word was spoken softly, but the three had heard it, and that's all they needed for Heather to set the box down at take Marley in her arms.

She laughed as she spun Marley around in her arms. Marley laughed along with her, smiling brightly.

Lea and Demitri were now standing up and they laughed along with the others, the once tense atmosphere now replaced with joy and excitement.

Heather hugged Marley tightly, overjoyed with her response. Marley wasn't even sure she could breath with how tightly Heather was hugging her, but she didn't care at the moment.

Heather who realized that she was still holding Marley after a good two minutes had let her go, but the poor girl had maybe three seconds to breath before she pulled into another hug by a smiling Demitri.

Marley rolled her eyes playfully and hugged back. Demitri pulled back so the two were now facing each other, Demitri's arms still around Marley's waist. Marley's arms around Demitri's neck.

Demitri smiled down and kissed Marley's forehead. Marley giggled and felt her cheeks flare up in a blush.

Demitri who seemed to like her reaction, did the action again.

She kissed both of Marley's cheeks and a final one to her nose, to which Marley laughed at and pretended to wipe the kiss off.

Demitri feigned a pretend hurt look at Marley's reaction to her kisses.

Lea and Heather could only smile at the two, they were adorable, and the two queens laughed along with Marley as Demitri kissed her all over, and smiled again at her 'pretend' reaction to Marley wiping the kiss off of her face.

They adored the two and their reactions, they were simply to cute to handle. Once Demitri had let Marley go (with much protest) She made her way to Lea, who had her arms open for Marley.

Marley smiled once again and leaned in an sighed in content when she fully embraced her queen. Lea closed her eyes and put one arm around Marley's waist, and the other holding onto the back of her head.

The two smiling like dorks as they hugged.

Once Lea relaxed Marley she looked down at the smiling fae,

"Marley?"

She asked her voice quiet and calm,

"Yea?"

Marley asked, looking up to meet the queens gaze,

"Can I kiss you?"

Marley felt her blush return and she nodded shyly. Lea chuckled at her reaction and put both hands to the sides of her face and leaned down. Capturing Marley's lips in hers.

Marley closed her eyes and kissed back. She felt the butterflies in her stomach but she ignored it and continued.

After a couple of seconds they parted to which Heather and Demitri smirked at seeing Marley's reaction.

Lea smiled at Demitri and grabbed her hand,

"Alright your up,"

She explained and let Demitri take her place, Marley looked up at Demitri who smirked down at Marley.

She decided to play a little before kissing the younger girl,

"Still think Heather is a better kisser?"

She asked, to which Heather raised a brow at the question, she obviously missed something.

Marley smiled and played along

"Why don't we test that theory,"

Demitri smiled into the kiss, enjoying the closeness of Marley. The room seemed to be getting even hotter as each second passed while the two shared a kiss.

Demitri looking all too proud of herself before letting Marley go. She held Marley's hand before plopping her right in front of Heather,

"Beat that,"

She challenged before giving the two space, Marley smiled, surprised at the sudden confidence form the queen.

Heather stuttered at her wife's response, not even sure how to respond, Until she felt a familiar touch. Marley lightly grabbed Heathers jaw and brought her face dangerously close to her own,

"We'll you heard her, you think you could do better?"

Marley challenged a smirk on her face, Heathers eyes held a glint of something dangerous before she placed a hand softly behind Marley's head and brought her in for a kiss.

Marley melted into the kiss, letting her body relax as she was being held up by her queen. Marley could tell her little 'challenge' worked, Heathers kiss was a little more passionate the. The other two, (not that she was complaining).

Heather eventually let Marley go, to which she drew a breath into her lungs, after all of her air was taken by the queen herself.

Heather smiled cockily, and placed a hand on her hip and directed her at stood from Marley to Demitri,

"Challenge accepted,"

Demitri laughed and shook her head. She wakes up behind Marley and put her arms around her waist,

"I don't know about you but that was the most stressful and enjoyable ten minutes I've ever experienced,"

Marley let out a short laugh. And Lea shook her head at her wife and chuckled along. Heather smiled before grabbing the box and taking the ring out of its hold,

She stood in front of Marley, she took her left hand and slowely placed the ring on her finger. Marley smiled happily as she held her hand up, showing off her beautiful ring,

"It fits perfectly,"

Demitri said as she admired the pretty jewel on her mates finger.

"How did you get a ring size to match so perfectly?"

Marley asked Heather who sat down next to Lea on the bed,

"We asked Ambree, she helped us pick it out, Sovia as well, she seemed really excited at the idea of you getting married,"

Heather said, putting her arm around. lea who leaned into her side.

"We'll she does have a wife, she probably thought back to when she and her wife first got married,"

After Marley said this, she heard Demitri snicker from behind her, This caught the attention of the other three,

"What?"

Lea asked,

"I just realized that we've all been jealous of a married women, we literally had nothing to worry about,"

Marley smirked at the realization and turned to the other two, Heather sending her a playful glare,

"Don't you say another word,"

She said as she pointed to Marley who smirked at her and in a mocking voice said,

"DoN't YoU SaY AnOtHeR WoRd"

Lea's laugh could be heard as Heather continued her glare at Marley,

"Don't test me,"

She said as Lea got up from Heathers side,

"You might wanna listen to her, she gets feisty,"

Lea said, to which Heathers face could be seen with a small pink hue,

"Don't worry I can handle it,"

Marley said, challenging back at Heather.

Just as Heather was about to speak Demitri did,

"Girls, girls we get it your both pretty, now calm down, save the attitude for tonight,"

The three went red at that.

***

After some debate, they decided to tell the people of their engagement at dinner.

Once the words were said, the four got a chorus of congrats and happy cheers from the other royals,

Ambree and Sovia smirked to each other, happy that their ideas of the ring worked, (they high-fived under the table)

Once dinner was finally over the three returned to their room.

They changed and got ready for bed. Excited for the next few weeks to come. * * * * The weeks moved swiftly, the four decided to plan for the wedding in about another month or so. The other royals had returned to their respective kingdoms, a couple of days after the news was out,

Ambree and Marley exchanged letters and talked about the wedding that was to come. She had come to learn that Zarren and Ambree were now dating, and has been spending a lot of time together, Marley was happy for her friend.

She also visited Sovia, who invited the four to the countryside, for a few days off, they happily agreed. Marley took the two girls as well,

There she met Sovia's wife who was eager to meet the queens, and their baby, who Marley thought was adorable, of course not more adorable then Freya but a close second.

They talked about their wedding plans and Sovia and her wife, enjoyed their ideas, giving input every now and then.

***

Marley was currently in her own room, she claimed to want to get ready in her own room, not letting the queens see her until the ceremony.

Ambree, Sovia and her wife who Marley found out was named Mirana, helped her get ready. She was nervous, she knew that the queens had wanted her, and this wedding just as much as she did but she couldn't help but want everything to be perfect.

The three helped Marley get ready, she bathed that morning, and she was currently sitting at her vanity, Mirana doing her hair, and Ambree doing her makeup. Sovia was getting the dress and jewelry ready for her.

~~~ {With the three queens}

The three were in their room, getting ready as well. Helping each other get dressed and looking well for the day that was too come.

It was their wedding day, getting married to Marley, the three had done this once before with each other, but they couldn't help but feel the same excitement as before.

They were getting married to Marley , their mate, it still seemed surreal. After months of waiting she would finally be theirs and the four, would be together, at last.

After a couple of hours, the three were finally ready. The made their way down the halls. The guests already sitting in the large concert hall, Waiting anxiously for the ceremony to start.

The crowd consisted of mainly royals who the three were close with, as well as some friends that Marley was close to, and Zarren.

Ambree's mother was waiting in the third row, smiling lightly at the idea of Marley getting married. Her husband, the king, had agreed to walk Marley down the isle, considering the fact that he was the closest thing to Marley's father.

To which he felt honored to do, Happy that Marley thought of him like that. —————————————————————————— A/N I have no idea how weddings went for the royals back in the day so I've decided to create my own way for how the wedding went ————————————————————————-

The queens were dressed in beautiful gowns, each one a different color, representing their kinds, and culture,

Lea wore a lavender dress, it had silver embroidery around the dress, in smiles or designs all across her dress, the kingdoms crest marked in a small space on her left shoulder which she wore proudly. The dress flowed slightly behind her as she walked, and she had sleeves covering her arms, and ended at her wrist. She wore simply jewelry that matched her dress and kingdom crest. As well as a bracelet that represented that of the vampires.

Heathers dress was also long and flowed behind her. It was an emerald green, she had small straps and no sleeves, showing off her shoulders and collarbone. Their was a wolf crescent on her back, surrounded in black embroidery.

She wore a necklace representing her position as an alpha, and some small earrings that also held her kingdom crest in the middle.

Demitri wore a dark red dress, her having the gold accents and sleeves covering just her shoulders and stopping at her elbow. It was not as long as the other two's but still covered her legs. She wore a bracelet similar to Lea and wore a ring on her right wrist that held a small emblem of her kingdoms crest. The witches symbol surrounding the bands of the ring.

The three wore their hair down, it was viruses through, with some pieces pulled back tied with pretty laced ribbon.

They stood on one end of the hall, the crowd before them sitting quietly, the sound of beautiful instrumental music could be heard as it echoed through the hall.

The room was covered in pretty white and gold decorations with small flags of each kingdom standing on poles, no wind moving them as they stood still. The three stood next to each other, a ceremonial, advisor standing behind them, as he was the one to officially wed the four.

Heather stood in the middle, with Lea to her left and Demitri to her right.

After a couple of seconds of waiting the music tone shifted to a more formal and Celtic type song, signaling that the bride was coming.

The three felt themselves grew more excited as the crowd shifted to turn around and see the bride entering.

Marley walked up the stairs leading to the great hall, king Jaxith linking arms with her, he smiled proudly. Annalise walked in front as she held the ring box in her hand.

Freya was sleeping and being held by Ambree as they sat in the front row, waiting for Marley.

Marley was wearing a dark blue dress, it had straps like Heathers but it went off the shoulder as two sleeves were on her arm.

She wore her mother's jewelry, wearing it proudly as she walked. Knowing her mother would be proud of her and her mates.

She heard the familiar music, one that she requested since it sounded so close to the one she would hear in her kingdom long ago.

She willed herself to not try and think of her parents at the moment, wishing they could have been here to see her, finally have the happy ending she always wanted.

She made her way up the final stair, and turned her head up, meeting the joyous gaze of her lovers.

They stood on the other side of the hall, Annalise walked through the hall first, carrying the ring box and smiling, she was happy to get to play dress up.

The audience Awwwd at her as he smiled and made her way down the hall, then they turned their attention to Marley, who began her walk towards her mates.

The king still linking arms with her as they walked down the aisle of people. Once they made it to the other side, he let go of Marley, giving her a little nod and smile, for reassurance before sitting down with his wife and daughter.

Marley smiled slightly at him and returned her attention towards the queens.

She joined them and they all kneeled as the advisor asked everyone to now be seated.

The advisor went on and talked to each girl individually, asking them the ceremonial words of if they were going to want this marriage wholeheartedly to which each girl responded with an

'I do'

After each one was done, the advisor got the ring and placed it on Marleys finger snd he blessed her by the words of her people, to which Marley was happy that they involved some of her culture into their wedding as well.

Once that was finished the advisor stood in front of the queens and stood before the crowd,

"For now and forever let them live happily in peace and in marriage,"

The crowd let out an applause as there each gave Marley a quick kiss, and smiled happily to the crowd.

The day was spent happily. They held a ball afterwards and the people danced and sang the night away.

The queens dancing with their new bride with almost every song.

The danced happily, laughed and smiled through out the night. Their friends and family by their side.

They danced until nightfall. Once the moon was in its highest peak, was when they finally retired to their now shared room.

Marley was happy. She was overjoyed with emotion. She spent the night with the three their first night together as married partners.

They could not have asked for anything or anyone better. They had each other and that's all they needed. They feel as sleep that night.

Cuddled up to each other. Their smiles never fading, even in their sleep.

They dreamed that night, of the happy days that was to come. Their futures looking bright, as the four now finally had each other.

For now and forever.

The three could not have asked for a better mate, they waited so long for her and her she was.

And Marley had waited for the day for her to finally experience love, and now she had finally found it.

The queens thought back to the first time they met Marley, and how much things have changed in the last months.

Marley was now finally theirs. Theirs to hold and kiss until the end. She was theirs forever. The strong warriors was finally theirs.

She was and always will be.
