Chapter 243 - Epilogue (The End)

I want to make memories with you forever and to live happily with you for as long as possible," she told him.

Elias felt nearly dazed by his affection for her. All he wanted to do was get to the end of the ceremony so that they could finally be officially married.

He had waited too long, and he didn't want to not be married to her for another minute longer.

They slipped their weddings rings on each other's fingers, smiling at each other as they joined hands and spoke their declarations.

They meant each and every word, promising to be together through any sort of circumstance. They had already proven that to each other time and time again.

"By the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife," the speaker announced.

Elias cupped Alyssa's face in his hands, drawing her lips to his in a sweet, deep kiss as everyone cheered and applauded them. He pressed his smile to hers, feeling the warm blush on her cheeks.

Alyssa laughed softly as they pulled away. She gave his hands a squeeze before they walked down the aisle, accepting more applause and cheers from the crowd.

She waved to them as everyone moved out of the way, letting the venue workers clear the area for the wedding party.

A live band took the stage, playing upbeat hits as a buffet style dinner was set up for all the wedding guests.

Everyone either danced on the space cleared for the dance floor, sat and ate at the white-clothed tables, or stood around and chatted. No matter what they were doing, everyone was having a good time.

Elias moved through the crowd, suddenly getting the breath knocked out of him when Melina yanked him into a hug.

"Hey," he chuckled as he hugged her back. "I'm so glad you and Tyler made it."

"Of course! How could I miss my brother's wedding?" Melina asked as she pulled away from him. "Alyssa looks so beautiful today."

They were perfect together, becoming a whole soul. Life had gone on without each other, but there had been something missing.

They couldn't live without love, which brought them back together in the first place. They couldn't run from what they felt, and they succumbed to the feeling.

Now, they would never fight that feeling ever again.

"Can you believe our lives right now?" Alyssa asked, laughing softly in disbelief.

If he wasn't touching her right now, Elias would've believed that he was in a dream. With her, life felt like a dream that he never wanted to wake up from.

Now, the dream was forever, and he had everything that he ever wanted.

"Best dream I've ever had," Elias said as he rested his forehead against hers, sharing a warm smile with her. He wouldn't change a thing about his life right now.

He married the girl of his dreams, he was closer to his family than ever, he had a successful business, and the world was safe from a terrible darkness. Things were exactly how they were supposed to be.

"Then, let's stay asleep," Alyssa laughed.

That was certainly the plan. Elias nodded, reaching up to stroke her cheek as the song came to an end.

"Forever," he replied before sealing his words with a deep kiss, promising a long and happy life full of sweet perfection and everlasting love.
