Kat passed Ally the wedding ring, and she placed it on James with finger with a nervous smile.
James smiled back and then repeated the same vows back to Ally.
“I James, take you, Alessandra to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, forever.”
James slipped the diamond encrusted wedding band onto Ally’s finger.
“You may kiss your bride now.”
James took a step closer and pulled her into his arms. “I love you, little one,” he whispered then took her lips with his mouth and poured all the love he felt into that kiss.
The guests roared and cheered the couple.
James laughed and Ally giggled with embarrassment. He took her hand and led her back down the aisle. Everyone wanted them to stop and talk, they wanted to wish them the best, give them tokens of love and share in their happiness.
Her bridesmaids, Kat and Mackenzie followed behind them with the groomsmen, Chase and Tristan, both couples clearly in love as well.
Ally pulled James off to the side. “I have a present for you.”
He looked intrigued. “What is it?”
She scanned the crowd and caught Isabella’s eye, then gave a short nod. It was time to introduce James to his surprise. “Come with me.” She took his hand and led him away from the milling crowd and up onto the terrace.
“Ally what’s going on?”
“Trust me.” She moved him so that he was facing away from the stairs.
She could see Isabella coming up the stair with an older lady and an older gentleman. The resemblance was there, she could see it. These had to be the right people.
Ally and Isabella shared a secret smile. They had worked together to pull this off for a man they both loved.
“Who is coming? The suspense is killing me,” James said with a laugh.
Isabella and the older couple stood on the terrace now, looking with anticipation in their direction.
“Ok,” Ally said. “You can turn around now.”
He turned and looked from Isabella to Ally with a look of confusion.
The older lady gasped and began to cry. “You have her eyes.” She rushed forward and took James’ hands in hers. “I can see her in you everywhere.”
“My mother?” James guessed. His mother was the only other person he knew of with his eye colour.
“Yes,” the lady said quietly. “I’m your grandmother, Sarah.”
The gentleman who’d been silent till now, stepped closer and laid his hand on James’ arm. “And I’m your grandfather, Patrick. We’ve been searching for you for over three hundred years.”
James stumbled a bit. “You have?”
Sarah nodded enthusiastically. “Your mother left no trace of you and we didn’t even know Isabella existed until she found us and told us the story of what had happened to you and who your father was.” She shook her head sadly. “We didn’t know what was happening with our dear, Olivia and then one day she was gone…We never saw her again.”
Patrick put his arm around Sarah. “We would’ve helped her. We would’ve done anything for her…and you. Your grandmother and I will forever feel like we let you both down, but we were hoping that perhaps we could all get to know each other and maybe make up for lost time.”
James was still stunned and grasped for words. “I think my mother would like that. And I know that I would very much like to get to know you better.”
Sarah cried out in delight and wrapped her arms around James. He hugged her back while Isabella and Ally stood together off to the side watching with misty eyes and holding each other in happiness and sadness.
Patrick looked at Isabella and Ally. “The same applies to both of you as well. We want to know both of you.”
Isabella and Ally nodded.
“Come on,” Patrick said to Sarah. “Let’s give the bride and groom some privacy. We can start getting to know Isabella first.” He winked and James and the three left them standing there.
James held out his hand to Ally. She walked closer to him and took it. He pulled her in and kissed her with everything he had.
“Thank you,” he whispered to her. “You’ve returned my brother to me and now you’ve given me a piece of my family back as well. I can never thank you enough or explain to you what it means to me.”
“James, I love you and I would do anything to see you happy.”
“I love you too,” he said and kissed her again.
Ally fell into his kiss and would have been happy to stay there forever.
“Come on, little one.” He said breaking the kiss. “Let’s go start living the rest of our forever.”
Ally smiled and looked deeply into his eyes. “Forever.”
The End.
First of all, a big thank you to everyone that has purchased each book in this trilogy. Without your support I wouldn’t be able to keep doing what I love, and that is writing stories for people like you that love adventure, romance and all things paranormal.
Writing this series has been such an incredible journey for me as an author and as a person, through Ally, I have discovered things about myself that I never knew and no matter how many books I write in the future, the characters in this story will always have a special place in my heart. It is my hope that these characters have also touched you in some special way as well.
Now, without further ado it’s time to close the final curtain for James and Ally.
Goodnight and Farewell.
