Chapter 52

Okay I must have tried on about 25 dresses now and still havnt found the one I hope Lucas was having more luck in the tailors. I feel myself getting extremely frustrated now with everyone agreed none of the dresses where sitting right on me. So the assistant insisted I put a blind fold on and she was going to try something a little different from what I'd already tried. As I popped myself into the surprise number it's figure hugging, backless and strapless, it's extremely light and comfortable, I felt amazing it felt like my dress even if I couldn't see myself. The girls silent, no one saying a word, which was only making me feel even more nervous. As they untie the blindfold, my eyes take a little time to adjust. I look in the mirror in surprise, a ivory dress with a sweetheart neckline, mermaid style, it was perfect, lace detail all the way through no other colour bar ivory, a gorgeous long lace train paired with a matching veil it was perfect. The girls left completely speechless only confirming it was my dress, **it's flawless and the prefect tone and style for your skin tone and personality as if it was made for you Amelia** Tara exclaimed while my eyes misted up with tears forming, I never believed I'd ever be doing any of this. ***"I think we have our brides dress by the look on her face, now to find bridesmaids and a flower girl dresses."*** Ma pressed on knowing we have limited time ***"you wanted silver you said we have these"*** I look over while dabbing my eyes, their gorgeous one shoulder strap with floral detail on the strap, it has some diamanté detailing, with a longer at the back, shorter at the front, it's a chiffon material so it's light and airy looks comfortable and elegant. ***"So girls what do you think?". "We think it's perfect we couldn't of picked a nicer dress"*** Nikki blurted out unable to contain her excitement. ***"It comes as a part of a collection so comes with both shoes and a bag to match" "we"ll take them"*** Ma agrees, ***"now what about our little flower girl Best till last as they say"*** Nova looks over shyly, ***"it's okay no need to be shy you'll have a choice of what you wear"*** I said lovingly. ***"ok thank you" "we have a junior bridesmaid dress similar to the two you have but it's double straped and the skirt is one length." "what you think of that one? I'll look like Nikki," "a little yeh" "then I want that one nikki always knows how to look pretty" "you sure?"*** I checked for a confirmation ***"yeh I'm sure" "okay that one it is" "this also comes with a bag and shoes for you" "thank you madame I appreciate you helping us today, when should we collect everything." "well I have all the measurements I need so Friday morning will be fine yours and Nova won't need any alterations, where your two bridesmaids just need to be taken in a little on the waist" "thats amazing I will see you Friday morning" "Amelia how would you like to pay cash or card, it's card and she won't be paying I am after all she will be my daughter in 3 days."*** I look over at her surprised not sure how I should react ***"thank you Ava but there was no need" "don't be silly your making my son the happiest man on earth what more could I ask for plus your nearly my daughter too"*** I feel my eyes starting to well up at her words, she pulls me into her embrace ***"come on now, dry those tears were all family each and everyone one of us you have two women who class you as their daughter even if not by blood, three beautiful girls who now class you as a sister, we are your family now matter what."*** realising how much I'd been missing over the years Ava knew axactly what to say and truly made me feel like a part of something ***"thank you, I've just never had any kind of acceptance until I went to Nina and Rich, everything went from there, if it wasn't for them I may not be where I am now. I never in my life expected any of this, I thought I was just going to be a lone wolf without a pack living amongst humans for the rest of my life"* Tara showing me some affection to comfort me *"if there's any consolation I'm glad they made you rogue you've made me and Rich very proud of the woman your becoming"*** Nina exclaimed. ***"on that note I think we all need some lunch I know of a nice bistro 10 minutes from here?"*** Nina continued. ***"I'm starving"*** Nikki blurted out. ***"me too"*** joined Nova, she looks up to Nikki alot, which is good, Nikki is kind, caring, hard working and an amazing fashion guru.

We have been out nearly all day and since we already eaten I mutter ***"We need to  head back the boys are off out tonight for Lucas Stag do."  "don't you want a hen do Amelia?" "I'm quite happy with just chill out. I don't really want to go out and make a fool of myself"*** I chuckled. ***"that I can't blame you for"*** Libby replied laughing herself. ***"How about we just book into the spa, mani, pedi, massage, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, aromatherapy rooms and finish off with a meal in the evening?" "that actually sound lovely Lib, but where?"  "there's one just the other side of town, it's really nice there, I've been a few times with Haisley."*** Libby answered confidently until she realised it was reminding her of Haisley and she brought that up, she just bowed her head and sighed. ***"Lib it's okay for it to get to you sometimes were not perfect, no one is, we all have feelings that we can't control"*** I place my arm around her gently to reassure her. ***"thank you for understanding"***

Back at the pack house Lucas more or less ready to go out, ***"I've been missing you"*** I whisper. ***"I know beautiful I miss you too"*** planting a deep kiss on my lips ***"Let's get our wedding sorted I can't wait to become your Alpha and your husband for the rest of our lives but we can have a few days just me and you before we get back to duties at the pack like a honeymoon maybe?, how's my Ma, she seems to be bursting with energy at the moment" "shes doing really well at the moment, I think she's really excited for our wedding, she is even calling me her daughter now makes me feel warm and fuzzy."*** ***"I'm glad she's doing well and I'm glad you two are hitting it off as well as I'd hoped"  "I won't be around tomorrow day the girls have booked to go to a spa for the day and an evening meal apparently I need a relaxing day before Friday because we're busy collecting everything, ready for Saturday. Oh and it's Nina and Rich doing the catering for Saturday, I hope you don't mind." "no worries just enjoy yourself, you deserve to. Of course it's fine their food is amazing also Amelia I would like you to try and go to the gym at some point too to just let everything out, I'm letting my frustration out in training but yours is building up I can feel it."***  I hear banging on the door, ***"come on Luc your not getting out of this. I will drag your sorry ass out of there if I have to" "that's my cue, I'll see you tomorrow beautiful I love you"*** kissing my forehead before turning to get out the door. ***"I love you too"*** frowning to myself before he leaves.

It's hurting more and more everytime he leaves and this dull ache for him doesn't go until he's here, right here with me. It's getting painful, I can't wait until we can spend our time together again, I'm sure he's feeling the pain I feel too. we've been apart far too much lately, even Tara is sulking. I start to clean and tidy up to take my mind off things. As I start to put the clothes away, a letter slips out of my jacket, oh I completely forgot about this so busy with wedding talk, the letter didn't even exist. Just a plain envelope with my name strange, who would just leave this on the boarder. As I open the letter I instantly recognise the handwriting, it's Romans but why would he write to me now after all this time.
