Pregnant With Four Alphas' Babies: A Reverse Harem Romance Chapter 283: Mated to Three Alphas
One Week Later…
*Trisha*
I think my mother could fly over the moon right now, she’s so happy. It started with Ethan’s wedding and hasn’t stopped since. Now, she has tears pouring down her cheeks faster than the makeup artists can wipe them and fix her smeared blush. Luckily, these people in Green Mountain have a practically magic brand of mascara that won’t run no matter how hard she cries.
That’s going to come in handy for me, too, since her crying is just bringing out all the emotion in me. I can’t believe I’m marrying my three Alphas today. Until my mom explained how her wedding worked and the High Priestess here had a meeting with me, I had no idea where I was supposed to stand or what I was supposed to do.
Things are a little different here in Green Mountain, but only by small details. After all, a long time ago, these two kingdoms were pretty much joined together.
I look in the mirror, and it seems like I’m staring at someone else. My hair is covered in a cascade of flowers and ribbons, my makeup is professionally done, and I’m wearing my mom’s wedding dress, tweaked a little bit for me so it’s a little more form-fitting around the hips. I look like a different person. Mom told me when she gave the dress to me that I could make whatever changes I want, so long as she got to see her “baby girl” in her dress.
I’ve come a long way since I snuck out of the castle every weekend night, and it hasn’t even been that long, not really. My world changed when I met my Alphas and turned twenty-one, but I suppose that’s what happens to every woman who goes through this in life. I never thought it would happen to me, but boy, did the Moon Goddess ever have a plan for me under Her sleeve.
“Mom, please stop crying,” I say. My mom’s poor makeup artists look like they’re about ready to give up.
“I can’t help it,” she says. “One day, I hope you’ll know how this feels, because having a child is the most beautiful experience in the world. They’re so tiny. You hold them in your arms, and their little eyes look up at you. But then you blink, and they’re teenagers, and not long after that, they find their own mates and start a life all their own. The day I had you, my four babies, was the most important day of my life.”
“Well, I hope I have that day soon, too,” I say. “Oh, and I had an exam with the healer this morning. She says I have two uterine horns. I guess that means I can get pregnant easier.”
A waterfall falls out of my mom’s eyes, and I send the makeup artists a sympathetic gaze.
“You do?” she says. “That’s wonderful! I had two as well! I guess the Moon Goddess has all this planned after all. Oh, we should have your sister examined.”
“Um, no,” Reeva says from behind her. “I’ll go ahead and leave my future a surprise, if you don’t mind.”
I laugh. “Yes, Mom. Let’s not get ahead of things.”
Mom looked a little disappointed, but not much since she was currently examining every inch of my dress and moving material around that didn’t seem to be laying right.
“Well, we’ll know one day,” she says in defeat.
“I wonder why our brothers only have one mate each,” Rylee says from her seat across the room. “Well, Ethan anyway. I guess we don’t know about Matthew yet.”
Mom shrugs. “Hard to say. I guess it’s just a thing for the Forrest women.”
“Oh, great,” Reeva says.
Mom just ignores that, and I laugh. My sister always has her nose buried in a book, and I don’t think she’s given much thought to who her mate will be.
I look at Rylee in the mirror, and she’s positively glowing. She and Ethan have taken two days off their honeymoon to switch kingdoms, attend my wedding, then they’ll go off to a beach resort along the south coast of Green Mountain. Damon has shown me pictures of the place his people booked for them, and it looks gorgeous.
The events coordinator pops her head in, her arm wrapped around a clipboard with a huge stack of papers. “We’re ready to begin if you are,” she says.
I nod, and Mom starts crying again.
“Mom, you can’t keep crying,” I say. “You have to go out and get seated so I can get married.”
She frowns and wipes her eyes as the makeup artists move in again. I guess everyone will expect the mother of the bride to cry, so no one is going to mind if she’s got smudges of foundation and blush all over her cheeks. She’s always beautiful, no matter what.
“All right, ladies, let’s head out,” Reeva says. She’s my maid of honor, and she’s wearing a beautiful emerald gown, the royal color of Green Mountain.
Everyone piles out except Mom, who insists on hugging me again, but at least she’s careful not to mess up my hair. I toyed with the idea of having it in an up-do, but my long, curly locks are my signature look, so I’ve gone with leaving it down with the floral decoration.
My dads come in and peel Mom off me. The logistics of a wedding with four dads, not to mention the three Alphas I’m marrying, are a bit complicated. We’ve decided to have Mark and Eli walk Mom to her seat, then have Reece escort his daughter Reeva, even though the maid of honor usually walks by herself. It just seemed like the right thing to do before Reece sits down with Mom in the front row. My father Tristan will walk me down the aisle.
Everyone leaves to take their places but him, and I take a few breaths, my nerves finally kicking in.
He chuckles. “You’ll do great, baby girl. I’m so proud of you.”
“Well, you are now, but you were pretty pissed when I snuck out and sailed halfway across the world,” I joke.
“Yep, and if I would have known where you were, I would have come after you,” he says. “But I’m glad I didn’t. You already had three protectors waiting for you here. We will, however, discuss that kidnapping a bit more one day.”
I nod and laugh, not answering that.
“Are you ready?” he asks.
I nod again. “Yes. Let’s go.”
I take his arm, and he leads me to the temple which is a bit of a walk from the room where I was getting ready. Luckily, the weather is cooperating, and my hair isn’t blowing all over the place.
I hitch a breath when I walk through the breezeway and see all the people outside the castle cheering when they see me. I give them a wave, and they cheer louder. The temple here is huge, but not big enough to hold everyone in the kingdom who wants to see the wedding. I guess it’s not every day their Alpha Kings get married.
Braden and Alessandro had their coronations a few weeks ago, so they’re officially Alpha Kings. Once I’m their wife, I’ll also be the Luna Queen, which will be part of this ceremony.
I hear the cue as the music changes, and Dad walks me forward.
My three Alphas are all standing on the right, their eyes gleaming. I can’t take my eyes off them, though my sister and brothers are on the other side to stand up for me.
Damon, Alessandro, and Braden all smile as I get closer, and once we’re there, Dad shakes hands with all three of them.
“Take care of my baby girl,” I hear him say.
“Yes, sir,” they all answer.
The High Priestess starts the ceremony with a long chant and multiple prayers to the Moon Goddess for the protection of the kingdom, Alpha Kings, and Luna Queen. There aren’t any real vows to say, which I’m thankful for. That would be too confusing, and I’m promising my love equally to all of them. All I’ll need to do is affirm three times that I want to be their wife.
But their part comes first.
“Alpha King Damon Barlowe, do you take Princess Trisha Forrest-Stone as your lawfully wedded wife and Luna?” the High Priestess asked.
“Yes, I do,” Damon said, smiling.
“Alpha King Alessandro Bianchi, do you also take Princess Trisha Forrest-Stone as your lawfully wedded wife and Luna?”
“I do,” he says. His eyes twinkle as he looks at me.
The High Priestess turns to Braden. “Alpha King Braden Winten, do you also take Princess Trisha Forrest-Stone as your lawfully wedded wife and Luna?”
“I definitely do,” Braden says. He winks at me and wiggles an eyebrow, and I want to chuckle.
The High Priestess doesn’t look very amused, but she turns to me and keeps going. “Princess Trisha Forrest-Stone, I’ll ask one at a time whether you accept the role of wife and Luna to the three Alpha Kings. First, Alpha King Damon Barlowe?”
“Yes, I do,” I say. I can’t stop smiling.
“Alpha King Alessandro Bianchi?”
“Yes, I do.” I feel thumping in my heart.
“Alpha King Braden Winten?”
“Yes, I do.” I feel moisture welling up in my eyes, and I try to hold it back.
The High Priestess continues. “Now, do you pledge to be an honorable Luna Queen to the people of Green Mountain? Do you accept the task of caring for all the people, particularly the young and the female, and agree to put your heart and soul into every decision for their welfare?”
“Yes, I do,” I say.
She does a few more prayers and chants, then I bow my head as she places the crown on my head. She turns to my Alphas and says, “She is now your Luna and mate, through the love and mercy of the Moon Goddess.”
I can’t help but let the tears fall as they all come forward and wrap their arms around me one by one, sealing our love with a kiss. I’m now the wife and mate of these three wonderful Alphas, and the new Luna Queen of my new home, Green Mountain.
I see my mother cry as I walk back down the aisle with my husbands.
* * *
I’m exhausted from all the dancing. Not only have I had dances with all my husbands, but I’ve also gone through all my dads, my brothers, and a few uncles and Betas as well. We walk over to the punch bowl to give me a break.
“The food is incredible,” Braden says. “I’m glad your mom brought over the catering staff from Dark Forest so we could try some of their traditional wedding dishes.”
“I couldn’t have stopped her if I’d tried,” I say. We all laugh, and I look around at the crowd, noticing my sister with her head in a book, or some sort of paper, and I wonder what it is.
“Can you guys give me a minute?” I say. “I need to talk to my sister.”
“Of course,” Damon says.
I kiss each of them one more time before heading over to the table and plopping down next to Reeva.
“What ‘ya reading?” I ask.
She looks up, her eyes a little wide with surprise, before she laughs. “Oh, sorry. I was just reading this and didn’t even see you come up.”
“What is it?”
“A brochure for a university in Green Mountain,” she explains. “They have an incredible history program there.”
“You should totally go,” I say.
“You think they’d let me?” she nods in our dads’ direction.
“They can’t very well say no,” I say. “Their other daughter is the Luna Queen here. I think it would be fun for you. And history sounds right up your alley.”
She nods. “Yeah, I’ll think about it.” She looks across the room. “You’d better get back to your gorgeous Alphas. They look like they need a little more Trisha.”
I laugh with her and stand, but I stop for a minute while she gets a strange expression on her face. “What’s wrong?” I ask.
“Oh, nothing,” she says. “I just felt something weird. It’s gone now. I guess it’s nothing.”
“Okay. Let me know if you need anything.”
“I will,” she says.
She goes back to her brochure, and I head back to my husbands who are talking to someone. He leaves before I get there and walks outside.
“Who was that?” I ask.
“Just a professor at our university,” Braden says. “So, how’s our wife and Luna Queen liking her wedding reception?”
I smile. “It’s perfect, and so are all of you.”
I couldn’t ask for a better life than one with my three Alphas, and I just can’t wait for the future.
