Trailing Moon Flowers: A NOLA Shifters Prequel Page 13
Gage lifted his hand to Mia's cheek and wiped away an errant tear that escaped her eye. “Mia, dere isn't a single soul on dis planet luckier den I am today. I put you through so much, I broke your heart so many times wit'out even knowin' it, but you never gave up on me. Da day I almost lost you, da pain I saw in your eyes, it brought me to my knees and nearly destroyed me. Den, like da angel you are, you gave me one last chance. You changed my life and made me a better man, Princess. I will spend ever' day, for however long I'm in dis world, showin' you just how much I love you.”
The tears that were threatening when she'd spoken her vows spilled down her cheeks at his words. Mia didn't care that the tears were probably messing up her makeup. She just let them fall.
“Do you have the rings?”
Remy stepped forward and offered the rings first to Gage then to Mia.
“Gage, place the ring on Mia's finger and repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed.” When he complied with her request she said the same to Mia, who didn't hesitate even a second to comply.
“By the powers vested in me by the state of Louisiana, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Let no man put asunder what love has brought together. Gage, you may kiss your bride.”
Gage pulled Mia into his arms and dipped her as he kissed her. “I love you, Mrs. Delacroix,” he growled against her lips.
When Mia finally found her voice it came out in a husky whisper. “I love you too, Mr. Delacroix.” She knew that there would still be trials ahead for them, that was the way life was, but she also knew that no matter what life threw at them, as long as they faced it together they would always come out on top.
Acknowledgments
I'd like to take this time to thank the people who have helped to make this book possible. First, my cover artist, Najla Qamber of Najla Qamber Designs . Her work is amazing and I absolutely love the cover.
To my readers, thank you, so very much, for giving me and my characters a chance to win you over. Without you, they would just be characters in my imagination waiting to come out. There are so many new authors out there and I am honored to have your support. Without each and every one of you, we authors would not be able to do the jobs we love; bringing our characters to life so others can enjoy them as much as we do. You are our reason for sitting down every day and putting pen to paper or fingers to the keyboard. Again, thank you, so very much.
I hope you enjoyed seeing how Mia and Gage’s relationship developed. The first three books in the NOLA Shifters series are available now on Amazon and there are more books in the works for this series so keep an eye out for them!
About the Author
Angel Nyx is an author of paranormal, contemporary, and historical romances (eventually!). Her passion for literature was instilled in her at a young age when her mother read her fairy tale stories at bedtime. Her vivid imagination helps her get in tune with her characters to bring them to life for her readers. She is also a mom, a reader, an avid gamer chick, and a cook in a nursing home. When she's not working, writing, reading, or gaming, she is usually relaxing to music, spending time with family, or finding new authors to fall in love with. She has a long time love affair with the city of New Orleans and has future plans to move there, hopefully in the next couple of years.
