Chapter 85

Raphael stood in front of the mirror while he was being measured for his tuxedo.

"Did you ever marry Luna?" He heard Nathan ask the Alpha.

"Yes, a very long time ago." Came his reply.

"You ever been to a wedding, Duma?" Raphael asked Duma who was standing close to the mirrors.

"No."

"Hmm."

Once his measurements were taken he stepped out of the enclosed area and into the open store where all of his groomsmen were gathered. Thomas was his best man. The Alpha was there because he couldn't imagine having his wedding without having his Alpha present. Mark and Nathan because he cared for the boys, and Duma because he wanted the kid to feel special.

"You're order will be sent to your residence sometime early December." The tailor said as Raphael paid for the tuxedos.

"Thank you." He said.

"Have a good day, sir." The tailor said as the party headed out the door to the shop.

Raphael, Thomas and the Alpha got into one car and the boys into another.

"Shall we find some food?" Thomas asked from the driver's seat, Raph was sitting next to him and the Alpha was in the back.

They pulled out into the road.

"You all ready for the big night?" Tom asked, "I assume you still haven't done it yet."

"No, we haven't. And yes, I'm ready." Raph said with a grin on his face.

"You gonna get her pregnant or do you have-"

"She's on the pill." Raphael cut him off, it rubbed him a little the wrong way how Thomas was talking about Brooke.

"Hmm." Thomas nodded.

"So, about the stag night." He began.

"What about it?" Raph asked.

"I've planned it so we'll have it two days after we get back. It will be at Albis Show-lounge an-"

"No, no. We're not having it there." Raph said adamantly. Albis Show-lounge was the only strip club in Prince George and he was not having his stag night there.

He had a feeling Brooke wouldn't like it, and he had a feeling he wouldn't like it either.

"But I've already scheduled it and everything." Thomas whined.

"Cancel." Raphael said.

He sighed, "Fine."

After a few more minutes of driving and they stopped in front of a fast-food restaurant to eat.

"What about The Black Clover?" Thomas asked as he sat down with his plate of food.

"Fine. But I won't be drinking." Raph said remembering his promise to Brooke.

"What, not drinking? Why?"

Duma glanced at Raph from the other table.

"Because Brooke doesn't like it." He replied.

"Why not?" Thomas asked.

"Because she doesn't!" Raph slammed his fist on the table.

"Sorry." Tom hung his head.

When we'd gotten all of my clothes, such as the wedding dress and the going away dress and a few other special ones, we headed out to the lingerie store called, 'Diane's Lingerie'

Ann had given me the underwear I needed for the wedding dress, but I needed a few special garments for the wedding night and honeymoon.

I was nervous. I was positive that I had been blushing ever since I'd mentioned the subject of lingerie.

The other girls went to another clothing store accompanied by Julian while my mom and Charm stayed with me. Angus was also with us.

We entered the store and I saw some very flirty, ahem, things.

"Do you have a plan for the wedding night and honeymoon?" My mom asked as she held up a babydoll dress.

"Uh, Raph says he has a surprise for the wedding night and the honeymoon is still a mystery. Or maybe he's planned something, I don't know." I said with a nervous smile.

"What about you Charm, what did you and your husband do for your wedding night and honeymoon?" She asked.

"We did not have a honeymoon, we just had a few nice relaxing weeks at our… home." She replied.

"What did you do Mrs. Neil." She asked after a few seconds.

"We spent our wedding night in a hotel then travelled BC and Alberta, hopping from different hotels and we stayed at a campground once." My mom said wistfully.

My parents had been ages twenty and nineteen when they married and had now been married happily twenty-five years.

"What colour are you thinking?" My mom asked.

"Blue? Maybe?" I said unsure.

"Okay, here's a blue set and another, why don't you try these on." My mom handed me two sets of blue underwear.

"Okay." I said shakily.

I walked into the change room and tried on the first one. It was a little too see through, so I tried the next one on. I liked it. I looked in the mirror and admired my reflection.

"You guys out there?"

"Yep." My mom called.

"Okay, this is the one I like." I called.

"Okay." She called back, "Would you like to try on anymore?"

"Uh, sure."

They passed a few more sets over the stall door and I tried them on one by one.
