DARREN

The church was filled with flowers the day of the ceremony, and whether it was the floral scent filling the chapel or his nerves, the omega found it hard to breathe at the front of the aisle. Having Christopher at his side was more calming than he’d imagined. The Alpha patted his hand, his arm linked with Darren’s, and gave him a reassuring smile as the music started.

Mating traditions in Sawyers were far more familiar to human sensibilities than most packs, even if the final result resulted in a physical as well as a legal bond. At least this time, the butterflies in Darren’s stomach were due to the fear that Zander would come to his senses and not show up rather than the cold feet that had sent him running six years earlier.

The aisles were filled with shifters who’d gathered to celebrate their union, even though Darren doubted many of them knew the truth of the sacrifice Zander was making. When he saw the Alpha at the end of the aisle, breath came a little easier.

Once he got close enough to see the surprise in Zander’s gaze, he was wracked with guilt. Of course Zander was shocked he’d actually shown up. The Alpha had every reason to think that Darren would bail on him again the way he already had once. He’d given so little thought then to how the end of his obligation would be just the beginning of Zander’s. All the questions, all the cancelled arrangements, all the pitying glances that had been Zander’s to deal with.

He regretted it all so much, but there wasn’t anything he could do to change it. The damage was done and he had to live with the possibility that there would never be any repairing it. Certainly no undoing it.

Christopher squeezed Darren’s hand before releasing him at the end of the aisle. The omega took his place in front of Zander and the minister as the music ceased. When Zander took his hands, the Alpha’s touch sent an immediate calm throughout his body.

“Dearly beloved,” the minister began. After that, Darren spaced out. He couldn’t look away from Zander and he didn’t want to. In that moment, it was easy to forget all the years that had elapsed in separation. It was easy to pretend they’d always been together, that he finally had the opportunity to relive that moment the way it should have been. To appreciate it.

“I do,” Zander murmured, calling him back to reality.

“And Darren, do you take this man to be yours? To have and to hold, for the rest of your days, in sickness and in health?”

“I do,” Darren said softly, surprised the right words came out. He’d been afraid that somehow he would mangle it the way he always did. The way he always sabotaged the things he wanted most and executed the worst possible outcome with ease.

“Then by the power invested in me by the Spirit and by the Council, I now pronounce you a mated pair.
