When we returned to the cabin, to my surprise I found my parents waiting for me.

"Daddy!" I ran to my father and gave him a hug. I'd missed him the last couple of times I'd been in town. "What are you doing here?" I ask as I gave each of them a hug. Ceren followed us, carrying in my bags from our shopping trip.

My mother gave me a look and then critically looked at my friend. Ceren smirked at me and excused herself and took my bags upstairs.

"It's the 3rd door on the right!" I yelled after her. Didn't want her going into the wrong room. Who knows what she'd do in one of the boys' rooms.

"Good grief, girl, look at the size of this bed?" I heard Ceren exclaim from upstairs. I scrunched my face knowing I was going to hear it from her later. "You could have sex with a circus in here!"

"Oh no," I grimaced as I turned six shades of red. My mother laughed at the look on my face.

My father humphed and then started to laugh, "You are marrying a zoo." he teased.

"Just kill me now," I moaned.

My dad chuckled, "I have those boys' word that they will keep you alive. Shame to waste all those promises," he squeezed me in a gentle hug.

"Dad," I whined. "Tell me you weren't difficult?"

He took my face in his hands, "It's my job to be difficult. Only the best men deserve my baby girl," He folded me in his arms and I snuggled into my father. He gave the best hugs and suddenly I was feeling a lot better now that I had my dad with me. I felt safe like nothing could hurt me.

"Now, why are you guys here?" I ask them.

My mother looks at me, "Your boys are planning something and we wanted to be involved. Now, let's go get you ready. Show me the dress you got." she hurried me upstairs and shoved me into the shower.

"You really can have sex with a circus in here," I heard her say as I closed the door. Ceren laughed loudly.

I'm never going to hear the end of it.

After the shower, Ceren and my mother fussed over my hair and makeup. I kept them from overdoing the makeup but it was close. When I changed into my dress, I had to admit, the effect was nice. Oh, Who am I kidding, they were going to drop dead. My eyes were lined so my lashes looked thick and my eyes shimmered, I had rose lipstick and pink cheeks. My hair was soft and wavy.

"That dress won't live to see the sunrise," Ceren promised.

"Good thing you bought her enough lingerie to fill a truck," My mother quipped, joining in the fun. Their teasing had me blushing which added a rosy glow to my skin.

"There, now you're perfect," My mother said, noticing my blush. She quickly excused herself and Ceren helped me into my shoes that matched the blue in the dress.

When we went downstairs, my dad was now sporting a suit, looking dapper. "Dad? What are you wearing?"

"Had to match my baby girl on a night like tonight." My dad said. I looked at him carefully. When my mom came down the stairs, also dressed to the nines, I had to wonder what was being cooked up.

Ever since the witch had told me that she created me specifically so I could trap my men and take the strands, I had been battling depression and a deep-seated fear. Fear that I was going to damn them to hell. Fear that I was a creation of evil. Fear that all the love I held for them was going to be worth nothing in the end. If I'm just a tool, then do I have any power at all? Can I even hope to stop this?

Seeing my parents here, I knew I was being reminded that I had things to live for. I took a deep breath, I didn't know what they had planned, but I was ready to enjoy myself.

"OH, don't you both look wonderful," My mom said as she came down the stairs. She was wearing a beautiful maroon dress that showed off her skin. I looked at my dad and saw him drink her in with his eyes. I had to smile, even after 30 years, my mother was still the love of my father's life. He doted on her, loved her, and supported her in every way. No woman had the effect on my dad that she did. I could see the same love mirrored in my mother's eyes as she gazed at my father. For a moment, I was a third wheel as they silently loved each other.

If I'm lucky enough to have 30 years with my men, I hope we still look at each other like that.

After they exchanged a kiss they turned to me. "Don't we all look amazing," my mother said.

Ceren leaned in from the front porch through the door, "Okay, they are ready for you." And she walked down the stairs.

I cocked an eyebrow at my parents, "so where are we going?"

"Just for a little walk," My father said. I was suspicious but enjoyed the suspense. Clearly, everyone had worked hard for whatever was going on and I had no intention of trying to ruin it for them.

As we leave the cabin, my parents lead me through the trees toward where I know an open grassy field exists. Must be a party. I know it would be a private place Bangtan could be themselves without prying eyes. As we walk through the soft loam covering the ground, I'm thankful Ceren didn't let me get the sharp stilettos we had looked at. I smile at that random thought as we break through the trees and I gasp at the sight before me.

We were indeed in the clearing, but before me, I saw gauzy bunting and ribbons struck around the trees. Candles and battery-powered twinkle lights lit tables and were strung through trees. I could see a small gathering of people who I knew were all family to Bangtan. From one set of chairs, I could see Kai, Beomgyu, and Soobin wave from their table. I looked around and found the other two cousins seated at another table with their families.

Strings started to play and I spotted a quartet sitting to the side near an arch that was covered in flowers and lights. Hearing the bridal march, I caught on instantly what was happening. My father chuckled as he heard me gasp.

"You are officially marrying JIn, for legal reasons, but they are all involved." my dad explained. I looked around trying to see where my guys were standing.

I also feel the strands inside me light up, I can feel the excitement of my men even if I can't see them yet. I send a loving caress through them and I feel their love shiver across my skin. I smile in anticipation.

"Come on, Babygirl, one step at a time," He gently pulled me toward the group.

As we approached a path that was covered by a white cloth, I finally saw them. They were in their animal forms. Was I marrying their animals?

The first animal was Jungkook's rabbit. As I reached the small animal, a shimmer took place and Jungkook transformed into his devastatingly handsome self. Wearing a black tuxedo, he held a red rose. His red ruby eyes drank me in and I could see how much he loved me. I smiled and he returned it, his fangs poking out.

"That's a little hard to get used to," I heard my dad mutter under his breath. I couldn't help but chuckle at his startling words. Yes, dad, it had taken me some time, too.

When we reached Jungkook, he leaned in and gave me a kiss on my cheek as he handed me the rose. "You look amazing," he whispered. With his kiss, I felt his strand light up. Our bond solidified more if that was even possible. Since the strands felt like steel bonds these days, I was amazed at how further they could tighten between us. I smiled as he fell in behind me and my dad as we approached the tiger who made me jump when he roared.

Taehyung transformed and was wearing a silk grey suit and was also holding a red rose. "Sorry, my tiger really liked your dress," He blushed. He then handed me the rose and also kissed my cheek. Just like with Jungkook, his strand lit up when his lips touched my cheek. I took a quick breath at the feeling. "Just the tiger liked my dress?" I teased. Taehyung blushed but gave me a naughty look as he wiggled his eyebrows. He fell in next to Jungkook as we continued down the aisle.

Jimin barked once and then transformed. His pink hair was offset by his black suit, making him look sexy and dangerous. I know he was dangerous for my heart. His ruby eyes devoured me and his strand lit up with his sexual excitement as well as his love. I watched his eyes travel from my toes, up my legs until he finally got to my face. "You are stunning," he says before kissing my cheek and handing me his rose.

My heart feels like its going to burst out of my chest and I can feel the love for these seven men grow with each rose they hand me. Their strands mirror their love and excitement and I feel the bonds strengthen with each step I take down the aisle. Their love shimmered over my skin and along my nerves, making it hard to keep steady and calm. I was thankful I had my dad to walk me down this aisle so I didn't spontaneously combust.

Namjoon's eagle was next, he was perched on the arm of one of the Foundation members. He jumped into the air and transformed and landed lightly on his feet. "Show off" I heard my dad mutter and I couldn't help but grin. Namjoon's white hair matched his white suit and his dimples were on full display. Why Namjoon didn't like to fully smile was beyond me, but it was stunning when he did. His dimples took away from the danger his fangs presented in his smile and my heart and our shared strand lit up between us.

He stepped forward, handed me my rose, and kissed my cheek. He also caressed me in an intimate way through the strand and my eyes widened at the touch. He just smirked and gave me a wink before stepping around us to join us as I walked down the aisle. When I looked back at the 4 men behind me, I could see knowing smirks on all their faces. Why these little....

I took a deep breath and my dad and I walked up to Brandon holding the owl. If I didn't know better, I'd think these two were soulmates with how close their friendship had become. Brandon was smiling at me. "You look amazing," He said.

"Don't let Ceren hear you say that," I grinned.

"Don't worry, she promised me something even better," He smirked. I couldn't help but laugh. Considering our shopping trip, I didn't need to imagine what he meant.

The owl also jumped into the air, flew around, and then transformed like an angel in front of me. He was dressed in black and his heart-shaped grin took my breath away. His strand lit up with complete joy as he looked at me. He gave me a kiss and handed me his rose. I smiled at the bouquet that was being built in my hands. "I love you," he whispered in my ear before pulling away.

"My dear sweet, Hobi," I murmured, caressing his face before taking my dad's arm again. He fell in line as I approached the coyote. My dad and I paused as we waited to see what Yoongi would do. He yipped before transforming, but this time, he transformed into his monster form.

I heard my dad's breath catch. This form was admittedly scarier looking than what I had seen before. When they had said they connected to the magic more fully, they weren't kidding. His shoulders and thighs were thick and his hands and fangs dripped venom. He looked like a nightmare on steroids. He then transformed into his normal self, adorable, sexy, a little aloof but with a heart deeper than any ocean.

"Your father had worried we couldn't keep you safe, I wanted him and everyone here to know that we vow to be your protectors and we are more than up for the task." He handed me my rose and kissed me right on the lips. His strand lit up like a Christmas tree with his love and desire for me, his dedication and devotion on full display not only for everyone to see but for me to feel.

"You've made your point. Can we progress before I pee my pants in terror?" My dad joked. We laughed and Yoongi grinned his lopsided grin as we faced my last soulmate.

Before us stood a tall black wolf. This wolf was twice the size of a normal wolf. His lavender eyes regarded me without blinking. When my dad walked us up to him, he nuzzled me with his muzzle and I couldn't help but giggle when he ran his nose from the hem of my skirt down my legs and back up again. My boys were definitely a naughty bunch but I loved the attention that he could get away with in animal form but would be inappropriate in a humanoid form in front of a crowd at a wedding.

With his lavender eyes full of love, he transformed into my tall and impressive ruby-eyed mate. It never failed to amaze me that their eyes also changed color, but then again, they often referred to their animal selves as nothing more than a glamour that others see, which made them talk as if their animals were separate entities funny.

Jin's broad shoulders were encased in a dark blue jacket that matched my dress. How in the world he could match me so perfectly amazed me, but this is Bangtan. His serious eyes were full of the love he held for me. I felt our strand light up as he took me in, almost speechless as his eyes traveled over me. He then bowed to my father in deep respect. While holding a rose in one hand, he wordlessly held out his other hand and my father handed me over to him. When our hands touched, the 7 strands within my body lit up inside me like fireworks going off. A warmth filled me that was almost hot and I gasped at the sensations that flowed over my body and through the strands.

I heard several of the boys groan as they felt what I was feeling. Jin just continued to stare at me with his long and steady gaze. I could see mischief in his red eyes, but I wasn't worried. I knew that he held me secure and that I was safe from any embarrassment at this moment.

Eventually, the strands calmed down and we could pay attention to the outside world again. I

heard a throat being cleared and my head turned to see a man standing there, ready to officiate this impromptu wedding.

Jin leaned over and laid his lips on my cheek, handing me the final rose. "You are a miracle," he whispered before standing straight and facing our officiant. I felt the seven of them make a semi-circle around me. Each one is able to stand next to me in their own way, surrounding me not only with their bodies but with their love. I sent a caress to each of them along the strands and I could see smiles on those beside me.

The officiant started talking and really, I couldn't hear a word he was saying. I was overwhelmed by what these seven men were doing right now. I looked at the ring on my finger. It had each of our birthstones on it and represented our bond and now they were making that bond official.

Here I was drowning in worry that I was expendable, and I was being reminded that I'm so very precious. Precious to my parents. Precious to our friends. Precious to the seven men who held my heart in their careful hands.

When it came time to our vows, each one of them took turns. They turned me around and took my hands in theirs and vowed their devotion, their pride, and fervent feelings for me.

"You are the one who gives light to the darkness," Jungkook whispers.

"Destiny has moved for us, giving us each other," Jimin says.

"When the silence wants to swallow me, you wrap me in your love," Yoongi says.

"You lighten the burdens that threaten to overwhelm us," Namjoon says,

"You are my hope when all seems endless and dreary," Hobi says.

"You are the sun in the center of our universe, bring balance to our orbits," Taehyung says.

Tears were threatening to spill from my eyes at their sweet words.

Then it's Jin's turn and he pulls me to him, wrapping me in his arms. "I know you've been scared by the future before us and your role in it. You need to realize that you have been the light in a long tunnel of darkness that we've been trapped in. You helped us to laugh and smile again. You are irreplaceable and there is no one for us other than you. We promise you here and now to love you forever. To cherish you as our wife. To face all the boring days together." I couldn't help but laugh at those words. Our days had been anything but boring up to this point. If we beat this curse, our days could very well become very boring in comparison. I knew all of us couldn't wait for that future.

Jin grinned as I got his corny joke. "We vow to love you every day, to not run from our destiny together and fight for you every single day."

That was the last straw, tears spilled freely from my eyes as I was overcome with their love for me. Their words were so sweet and heartfelt and combined with their promise and determination along the strands, I knew that as we faced the new moon in just a few days' time I didn't have to be afraid. I was theirs and they were mine. The magic meant for us to be together. I needed to trust that there was a reason for that, no matter what that woman kept whispering in my nightmares.

"Do you take this woman to be your lawful wife?" The officiant asked Bangtan.

"I do," Jin said. It was repeated by each man in turn.

"Do you take these men to be your husbands?" The officiant asked me.

"I do." I grinned. I felt the strands light up again as their joy and love flowed fresh over them again. A glow started to surround us as we pledged ourselves, just like the night of the full moon. A gasp could be heard among the people watching. The magic that connected us made an appearance as if was also blessing our union.

"You may kiss the bride," the officiant instructed. I grinned and turned to each man, starting with Jin. He took me and claimed my lips. Our strands connected. Tightened to an unbreakable point between us. As our lips separated, Jin whispered a breathless "wow" and I couldn't help but agree.

It was the same with each man, as they sealed our vows with a kiss, the magic clicked into its final place and the purple glow that surrounded us deepened, encompassing us like a shield once again.

I pulled my lips from Jungkook and we looked around in wonder at the evidence that the magic seemed to be blessing our union. Each strand was now locked in place. I couldn't help but think of the witch's words that when the bonds were complete they could not be unmade. I looked down at my hand and saw the glowing infinity symbol in my hand.

This should have made me afraid, but it didn't. I felt peace at this evidence that the magic was at work, sealing us together for eternity. The witch may have started this curse, but our intent and love were changing it. I knew that now. There was nothing to be afraid of.

I lifted my hand and showed my mates the infinity symbol on my hand. They also lifted their hands and the symbol could be seen in their palms. We laid our hands together, one on top of each other, and the magic exploded. 

A/N:  Hi lovers.  I hope the weekend is treating you well.  I've been working lots and lots of overtime again so I'm sorry for the slow updates.  I have plans for part 2 of this wedding to release tonight so let's see if I can make that happen.
