✨ Zale's POV ✨

TWO WEEKS LATER...

One of his men lead me inside the house and to his study where he currently was and I knocked on the door and heard him say, "Come in."

Taking a deep breath, I pushed opened the door and stepped in as he sat behind his desk and his eyes flickered to me in surprise. "Zale." He acknowledged my presence.

"Enver." And I walked closer to the desk and took a seat opposite to him.

He glanced at the door and back at me, pausing his work and leaning back. "Where's Jezebel? I thought she was with you."

"She was. Then she went shopping with Maverick and Alaric."

He frowned subtly. "So, what brings you here?"

"I want to propose her for marriage."

Now he frowned deeply. "Marriage?"

"Yeah, marriage. When two people love each other and want to commit forever, they marry each other and--"

His lips pursed and he gave me a blank look. "I know what marriage is, what I meant to say is that you both started dating just two weeks ago and you want to marry already?"

"She wanted to marry two weeks ago only. I was the one who told her to wait. Now, what do you say?"

"No." He stated surprising me. "You can't marry her."

"No? Are you insane?" I gritted my teeth. "Why did you approve of our relationship then? Did you really think I was going to date her for sometime and then dump her? Or did you hope that she will realise after some time that I was playing her all along and then leave me?"

"That's not what I--"

I cut him off by leaning forward and lowering my voice and staring into his eyes. "Let me be very honest, Enver. I seriously don't give a fuck whether you give me the permission to marry her or not however I think Jezebel would love to have her father and brother present at her wedding."

I leaned back and gave him a tight smile. "So, think about it, okay? I am going to propose her anyway." And I got up and adjusted my suit jacket and walked away from there.

I know he still doesn't like me and it's mutual. We once had a dinner a week ago here and it was the fucking most awkward dinner of my life.

Getting back Alaska was one of the best moments of my life, it was what I wanted for years and now I finally had it. Initially I wanted to go back to Alaska and start living in our old home again but the moment I stepped in there, all the horrible memories came rushing back so, I came back. I can't live there because now this place feels like home to me.

So, instead I decided to convert that house into a hotel.

Sitting inside my car, I pulled out the small jwellery box and flipped opened its lid revealing a simple yet a beautiful diamond ring.

I am going to propose her and marry her as soon as possible, that's what she wanted and I promised her that.

I don't want this proposal to be something very huge and lavish, I just want it to be intimate and sweet.

Because anyway, the wedding would be a fairytale one.

I drove to my house and going inside, I went up to Alaric's nursery and waited there patiently until I heard the front door opening and closing and Jezebel and Maverick's voices drifting through.

Shit. Why am I so nervous? It's not like she is going to say no.

I cleared my throat and adjusted my suit jacket and ran my fingers through my hair, tidying it.

"Come with me..." I heard Maverick say to Jezebel as they climbed the stairs and he lead her to the nursery.

I had my hands behind my back as I rotated the jwellery box in my hand over and over again waiting for her.

Soon, she stopped outside the door with Maverick behind her, holding Alaric, watching us.

"Zale..." She smiled on seeing me and walked inside. "Did you miss me?" She teased.

"A little..."

"Hmm... that's why I told you you should have come with us, we enjoyed a lot." And she leaned closer and whispered, "And I even made Maverick carry all the bags and made him go inside a lingerie store too." And she giggled making me chuckle too.

I kissed her forehead and cupped her cheek, holding the jwellery box behind my back with the other hand. "Jezebel..."

"Yes?"

I leaned forward and rested my forehead on hers and whispered softly, "Be my queen?"

She gasped and I went down on one knee and opened the jwellery box revealing the ring. "Will you marry me?"

She was grinning widely and blushing at the same time. "Oh my god...finally! You are not joking, right?"

"Do you really think I would buy a ring for a joke?"

"Oh, okay..." Then she jumped up. "Oh My God! I can't believe this! Yes! YES!"

Sighing in relief, I took out the ring and slid it down her ring finger and getting up immediately captured her lips for a kiss.

"Can I leave now since I have done my part?" Maverick interrupted as usual and I pulled back only to give him a glare and gestured him to leave.

Rolling his eyes, he went away taking Alaric with him and I kissed her again, smiling against her lips. "I love you."

"I love you too."

And just like that, another two weeks later, I found myself standing at the altar with the love of my life standing right infront of me, holding my hands and looking like a fucking goddess.

"Do you Zale Ascian Weylyn take Jezebel Iyan to be your wife. To have and hold. From this day forward, For better or worse, For richer or poorer, In sickness and in health. To love and to cherish, Till death do you apart?" The priest asked me.

"I do." I stated firmly, gazing into her eyes.

"Do you Jezebel Iyan take Zale Ascian Weylyn to be your husband. To have and hold. From this day forward, For better or worse, For richer or poorer, In sickness and in health. To love and to cherish, Till death do you apart?" He asked her next.

And she had the biggest smile on her face and nodded. "I do."

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Feeling satisfied, I lifted her veil and leaning closer whispered, "Hello, Mrs Weylyn."

"Hello, husband." And I kissed her softly, cupping both her cheeks as the small audience cheered for us.

Seeing how happy his daughter was, Enver agreed for the marriage and even walked her down the aisle willingly and Dane was present there too, whether he was happy about all this or not, I didn't know and honestly I didn't care either.

She was happy and that's what mattered the most to me. And always will.

Our story may have started with me wanting Alaska but it ended with me getting something even better than it. Love.

It's a feeling that no words can describe unless and untill you feel it yourself. Unless and until you feel it running through your veins and thumping in your heart. Cause love is magic; and magic can't be comprehended.

And she showed me just how alive magic can make you feel. My wife and my queen. My Jezebel.
