Her mom twirled and smiled down at her and Jasmine groaned. “You are way too happy. So what is going to happen now?” she mumbled but shot up in bed when she remembered last night. “Ceremony? There’s going to be some kind of ceremony? What does that mean?”
“It means you are getting married today, Princess,” Cole said, coming into the room carrying a tray with coffee and mugs, while Sara and Monica brought in the food.
“Married? No one asked me to marry them,” Jasmine frowned and scooted to the end of the big bed. “Are we talking about last night?” she asked Cole, and he nodded.
“You gave yourself to my sons. Tonight the ceremony will take place, even though R.D. could have given us more time to prepare,” Cole grumbled pouring coffee into three cups. “Come, drink up, we have much to discuss before your mother starts throwing clothes at you.”
She held up her hand. “Wait, explain what this ceremony is? I’m totally lost here. I mean I agreed to have them, well you know sexually, but married?”
Cole actually looked pissed off as he turned to her. “I’ll have you know my boys will not touch you sexually until you are married. That I made them promise.” Cole sighed and knelt down in front of her.
“Princess, a ceremony is both a formal wedding and a pack mating. Tonight my sons will make you theirs in front of the pack as a wolf and later, you will have your wedding night.” He leaned in and placed a kiss on each of her cheeks. “Even before I realized you were meant for my boys, you were my daughter. I’ve always wanted the best for you, little girl. Tonight you will have the wedding to fulfill any little girl’s dreams.” He stood and helped her stand.
That’s when Jasmine noticed she wore a very large T-shirt. “You won’t see R.D. or Logan until the ceremony tonight, but they sent you this,” Cole stated and nodded to the door where three men came into the room carrying three different kinds of flowers—roses, daisies, and lilies—all her favorites. Each man handed the dozen flowers to her and left, to be replaced by three more men.
She laughed. “What did he do? Get the whole pack to help?” Jasmine asked, staring in shock as one stepped forward and waited.
“Go to him and see what gift my sons have sent you,” Cole encouraged her, so she handed the three dozen flowers to her mom, who had tears running down her face.
“Don’t start or you’re going to get me going,” she mumbled, and hugged her mom without crushing the flowers, before moving to the man who now knelt before her.
He took out a piece of parchment paper and read.
Loving Demands
1. I will not only demand your undying love, but total and free access to every inch of your body.
2. In the matter of safety, your life will always be placed before anyone’s. I have and will continue to protect you until I cannot anymore and will die at your feet if necessary.
3. There will be nights when I need totally submission from you, no words, just loving.
4. No one will touch or lay a finger on what is ours again. They will die and you will be punished.
5. There will be times when we will argue and we promise to listen, but there will also be spanking and times when we will be groveling at your feet for forgiveness.
6. Children, lots of children.
7. Lastly, you own our hearts. Only you can control the beast within us both, trust us to give you what you need: unconditional demanding love.
The man rolled up the scroll and handed it to her, leaving the room. The next man stepped up and knelt at her feet.
“The pack welcomes you as their queen and we give you this as a way to show you how much you belong.” The man lifted up a narrow jewelry box and opened it. “Every female in our pack wears a symbol of our protectiveness and belonging. Will you accept it and wear it?”
Jasmine stared in awe at the emerald and diamond ankle bracelet. “Each woman has one made just for her. This one is yours, our queen.” In the middle were two miniature silver wolves, R.D. and Logan.
“I’d be honored,” she said.
The man took the ankle bracelet out of the box and held out his hand, waiting for her. Jasmine placed her right foot into his hand. “Once this is put on, it won’t come off. It’s charmed to always stay with you even with the change.” The man told her and she nodded, glancing over her shoulder at Cole and her mother.
“You make me proud, daughter,” Cole said and tears filled her eyes.
“Okay, now I’m going to cry and have big puffy red eyes,” Jasmine mumbled watching as the man put the ankle bracelet on, watching as the clasp disappeared leaving no way to take it off. “It’s beautiful, thank you.”
He nodded as he stood. “Welcome, my queen, to the pack. It will be an honor to protect you.”
Before she could say anything he was gone and another man knelt before her. He held up two ring boxes. “As a token of their comment to you, our alphas had these made for you and would like your permission to use them in your ceremony tonight. If there are any changes, please let me know and I will work on them for you this day.”
Jasmine took one of the boxes and opened it, sucking in her breath. Two men’s rings were inside, silver at that, her favorite. “I thought wolves would be allergic or something to silver?” she asked and the man laughed.
“No my queen, another rumor by humans. Do you like the design for their rings? Would you
