Chapter 46: 45. Decision to a Normal Life
Mary and Jayden came home just in time for the ceremony to start. Aaron glared at them as Jayden excuse himself.
"Where do you think your going young lady?" Aaron asked. Mary smiled thinking that she will be a star since she passed the audition.
"I'll just go get change." Mary said as Aaron grabbed her hand. "You can't since I cannot go with you, It's dangerous to go alone." Aaron said as Mary sigh.
"Fine, Where will I sit then?" Mary asked as Aaron smirked and taps on his lap. "We got short numbered with the chairs. You can sit in my lap." Aaron tease as Mary shove him off the chair.
"You can just stand up and let me sit down." She said as Aaron smirked and stands besides her.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of God to witness and bless the joining together of this man and this woman in holy matrimony." The priest starts the ceremony as Mary smiled looking at how happy Wendy is.
'I guess she's having the best time of her life.' Mary thought as she stopped thinking when she looked at the guest staring at Zade and Wendy in the altar like their pointing guns and daggers using their eyes.
"Your family is scary." Mary whispered as Aaron smiled. "Yeah but they cannot lift a finger right here." Aaron said as he kissed Mary's head.
"Did you auditioned for that actress role?" Aaron asked as even if Mary and Jayden won't say anything she was tracked by Aaron with some surveillance cameras.
"I did." Mary answered as Aaron just looked at her and went back on focusing to the event.
Wendy started her Vow. Aaron looked at Jayden as Jayden is holding his breath since the love of her life is getting remarried again.
Wendy signing a paper on being Zade's wife feels more likely a contract. Yet right now Wendy being in a white dress and staring at Zade's eyes lovingly hits Jayden.
'This time he might actually die hearing Wendy's vow.' Aaron thought to himself as Mary hold his hand since he was worried about Jayden.
Aaron sigh and went to Jayden's chair as he tap his shoulder.
"Man up." Aaron said as Jayden stopped his tears from falling and sit properly.
"Zade, when I met you, I never imagined my world would change in ways I couldn't comprehend. You are a man of strength, power, and shadows, yet in your arms, I have found light, love, and protection. Today, I vow to stand by your side, not just in the light of day but in the darkest of nights. I promise to love you for who you are, beyond the title you bear, and to be your anchor in every storm. I will embrace all parts of your world, knowing that our love will always be our strongest bond."
'What a sweet vow young missy...' Aaron thought as he looked at Mary gone in her sit.
'What the fvck, Where the hell is Mary?!' Aaron looked around and was about to go out when Zel kicked his legs as he groan silently not to take the guests attention.
"Focus on your work. You can't be dazed by some girl!" Zel said as Aaron looked at Zade holding the microphone.
Zade's Vowed. "Wendy, in a world full of chaos and danger, you are my peace. You entered my life with innocence and grace, and yet you've given me more strength than I ever knew and a new reason to live." Zade looked at the twins on the side.
"I vow to protect you and the children with everything I am, to keep you all safe in the shadows of my world, and to love you with a loyalty that goes beyond blood. No matter what comes our way, I will always fight for us, because you Wendy, Zachary and Zackeeyah are my heart, my reason, and my forever."
Everyone clapped as they exchange their rings.
Zel sighed as Mary went back to her sit, she just went to the bathroom and Aaron was over reacting.
Jayden smiled sadly.
"Jayden." Zel approached as Jayden looked at him. "After the ceremony meet me at the library. I'll be waiting for you." Zel said as Jayden bow his head.
'I didn't do anything to offend the Falcon didn't I?' Jayden asked to himself as he looked at Zade and Wendy bowing down in front of everyone.
It stings his heart as he left the Ceremony and went to the Library to meet Zel.
"Why did you asked for me sir?" Jayden asked as he bow down his head. "Have you heard about the falcon wing?" Zel asked as Jayden nodded.
"It was Aaron isn't?" Jayden asked as Zel smiled. "Then did you heard about the Falcon Claw?" Zel asked as Jayden was confused.
"It wasn't part of the reading sir." Jayden said as Zel laughed. "Of course it wasn't since Zade thinks that a Falcon Claw isn't necessary." Zel said as he looked at Rodney as he handed some important files on him.
"The wing's is responsible for the falcon's safety, If the falcon is in danger the wings react and flies up above to protect the falcon." Zel started as he point on the Falcon's portrait.
"Yet look at this golden claw." Zel said. "Wendy told me about you, There was a huge chance that you will marry my granddaughter Zackeeyah."
"I haven't decided about that yet Sir, My love for Wendy is stronger than ever." Jayden said as Zel smiled.
"Still I want you to be the Falcon's claw. Stay with us, Train with Rodney until Zackeeyah turn sixteen and I will return you to Zade's hand." Zel said as he handed Jayden some papers to sign.
"This doesn't make any sense I want to be with Wendy." Jayden said as Zel smiled.
"Then tell her that face to face." Zel said looking at Jayden's back as Zade and Wendy was standing at the door.
"I see, Your planning to raise a Falcon Claw." Zade said as he sat down next to Zel. "Your aiming for the top it is right and just to raise a claw this time." Zel said as Zade looked at Jayden.
"Yet Jayden has his own free will, we cannot force something to him that he don't want to do." Zade said as Zel looked at Jayden.
Jayden looked at Wendy as Wendy was silent the whole time.
"What are your thoughts Wendy?" Jayden asked as Wendy smiled sadly. "The empire is aiming for the top, The best that is why I need to properly think about this first." Wendy said as she smiled sadly.
"I just don't want my kids to be on a tight spot." She added as Jayden clenched his fist. "Then I cannot see Wendy for sixteen years." Jayden said as Zel nodded.
"You can write her a letter yet you cannot see this family not until your fully ready to be the Falcon Claw." Zel said as Rodney place the paper properly on where he can sign.
"Then I will do it, But I don't want the Princess to know anything about me and about this arrangement." Jayden said and he was talking about Zackeeyah.
"I'll come back strong and serve the empire." Jayden said and was about to sign the papers when Aaron barged in the library and crumpled the contract.
"What do you think your doing?" Aaron asked as Zade smiled. 'Just in time Aaron.' Zade said to himself.
"Aaron, What are you doing?" Zel asked looking pissed as Jayden was confused.
"Your smjust taking one of Zade's Subordinate. Your not actually going to return him don't you?" Aaron asked as Zel looked pissed.
"The Falcon Claw is just for the Empires sake!" Zel said as He smiled.
"Even without this contract Jayden is already the Falcon claw since I went to Italy for six whole months." Aaron said as Zade smiled.
"You mean Jayden is already skilled enough to protect Zade?!" Zel asked as he laughed. "Why didn't he save Wendy when she got kidnapped by the Real?" Zel asked as Aaron smiled.
"The Real is too much for a one person, And please be mindful with your words Zel. Your in my house." Wendy said as she got pissed since he is provoking Jayden's skills.
"Come on, We agreed already!" Zel said as Wendy smirked. "We are all putting out a show." Wendy said as Zade smiled.
"Stop this nonsense already Father, If you think we didn't think this much through then you are wrong. We can take down your place with just Jayden, Aaron and Knight." Zade said as Rodney get his gun and point it on Zade.
Aaron and Jayden are relaxed as Zade smiled.
"Do you have a death wish Rodney?" He asked as Zel sigh in defeat as he saw the red Lazer on Rodney's head.
"That's enough already Zade." Wendy said as they dismissed the meeting since they still have guests to greet and entertain with.
