Marrying The Bear (Gray Bears 1) (8 page)

“Mind, if your true
mate doesn't make the wish, then you'll have to search for her
yourself,” Gramma sniffed. “You can search your whole
life and never find her, so you'd better hope she makes the wish!”

“We're just trying to
help,” Ne-ma said defensively.

Tristan laughed and kissed
Gramma and Ne-ma on the cheek. “Thank you. I love you.”

“We love you too. Now
go make us some great-grandcubs!”

As Alisa blushed furiously,
everyone laughed and joined in the teasing. Tristan grinned and
swept his bride up in his arms. He winked at the cheering crowd over
his shoulder and strode towards Broomstick Inn.

“What are you doing?”
Alisa squealed as he took the stairs three at a time.

“Gramma and Ne-ma
prepared a bridal suite for us. It's their wedding present to us,”
Tristan said, leaning in to kiss her.

He carried her into the
largest room in the inn and put her down. Alisa gasped at the
lace-covered furnishings and heart-shaped pillows. There was a tray
of chocolates on the bed and there were bouquets of roses on the
table and by the window.

They had transformed the room
into a magical, dream suite for a princess.

“Oh!” She
pressed her fingertips to her lips. “This is so beautiful!”

Tristan took her hands and
kissed them. “You—are beautiful, Alisa. Thank you, for
making the wish,” he whispered.

Outside the window, fireworks
lit the night sky. Their guests cheered and there was music and
laughter, but Alisa heard only the beating of their hearts as Tristan
walked her backwards to the bed.

She loosened his tie and
began unbuttoning his shirt. They'd received many wonderful wedding
presents, but she was about to unwrap her favorite present.

This present was hers, and
hers alone. Alisa threw her arms around Tristan and smiled against
his lips. He was all hers, now and forever. “Wishes do come
true,” she murmured.

“They do,”
Tristan agreed, nuzzling her neck. “I have you, and I love
you, forever.”

Alisa's eyes glistened with
tears of happiness and gratitude as she whispered, “I love
you, Tristan. And I have so much to love and cherish now. Our
happily ever after…is just beginning!”
