Alpha Bane''s POV


    Some Days Later


    A Day to The Wedding Day


    "Okay, father. I''ve heard all that you have said. I''ll be returning to my room now. I need to check up on my wife to see how she''s doing."


    "It''s true," he replied. "I forgot to ask. How''s her health? I hope she''s better now."


    "Yes, she is. But she''s still worrying too much. I was scared to leave her all by herself because I know she''d be letting the thoughts in her head eat her up so badly. Once I get there, I''m going to try to get her to sleep. She needs rest now more than ever."


    "You''re right, son," affirmed my father. "See you soon, then. The goddess blesses your uing marriage."


    I smiled and walked out of the throne room, heading straight to my room. I wanted to get some sleep before Aurora would be back in the room as I couldn''t tell where she must have gone.


    As I walked, my guards walked behind me. I had asked two guards to always follow me wherever I went as I didn''t know exactly what Dn had nned for all of us. I had no idea if he was working with any of the guards and so I had to protect myself, just in case. Betterte than sorry.


    I recounted thest few days and how tedious they had been, not just for me but for everyone else around me. It has been the toughest days of our lives but it wasn''t all bad though.


    I continued my arrangement with Donald concerning his wife handling the decorations for the event. She had already begun to assemble some of the materials that she was going to need to make the whole ce lively.


    The other parts of the wedding n were also moving very smoothly. The good thing was that I had to make just very little input so that I could use my time for more crucial matters like getting Aurora ready for the day and also beefing up the security of the Pack to prevent any form of attack from Dn, Sophia and anyone else that chose to fight with them.


    I was d that she had nothing to do with the preparations. It was only her mother who became part of the preparation team because she insisted that it was her right given that it was her daughter''s wedding. It was something that I couldn''t deny her, even though I wanted to.


    I knew how tempting it was going to be for Aurora to join the team since her mother was there. I didn''t like that at all. So I made her promise me that she''ll make sure Aurora doesn''t join the team. That was the only option I gave her for her to help with preparations. She agreed and we shook hands.


    Just before I got to the room, I saw the maids and a few others busy scurrying about as the preparations intensified, since the wedding was just one day away. Everyone was so busy and I could understand why.


    As I got to my door, I turned around to the guards that followed behind. "That''ll be all, guys," u said to them, waving them off as they turned around and walked away. Then I pushed the door open and walked inside.


    Surprisingly, the first thing I beheld was the figure of my beautiful wife-to-be, Aurora. She strangely stood by the full-length mirror in the room, checking herself out.


    I was quite surprised to find her in the room as I had stepped out of the throne room for a bit to ask a maid earlier that day if Aurora was going to be in the room till I''d get back and she told me that she was already with her mother and some other women.


    I was very much surprised to get back to the room only to find her inside already, staring into the mirror. It wasn''t that I wasn''t happy to see her. I was. Indeed, I was very happy. Yet, I was surprised.


    I walked toward her slowly, only to notice that she didn''t even realise that I was in the room. She didn''t hear me walk in as she was deeply engrossed in her thoughts.


    As she stared at herself in the mirror, she ced her right hand on her stomach, and moved it around in a circr fashion, rubbing it softly as she let herself stray deeper into her thoughts.


    I got to her and gently hugged her from behind, causing her to gasp in shock. "You scared me! Don''t do that again," she yelled at me but I justughed.


    "You caused it," I said in my defence. "You''re to me because I came into the room and you failed to notice me. What''s going on in your mind, my love?"


    She just sighed and looked to her right. It was clear that she didn''t want to talk about it at all so I had to push a bit more.


    "Is it about the child?" I asked, hoping she''d say something to me. "It''s only a part of it."


    I whirled her around and looked into her eyes. "Hey. You have to stop worrying, okay?" I pleaded, holding both her hands. "I don''t like it at all because it''s bad for you and our baby too. You need to tone down on the floor the way that you work yourself out over things that you should not concern yourself with."


    "What are you saying? I shouldn''t concern myself with the fact that my child''s life is in danger just like yours?"


    "I didn''t say that. What I''m saying is that worrying about it won''t change a thing. Instead, you''re the one endangering yourself and the child without any input whatsoever from our enemies and that has to stop. It has lingered for far too long and we both know that it''s affecting you negatively."


    "I know. I just can''t help it," she sobbed.


    "Hey. Hey. Don''t cry, my love. I''m here for you at all times. You don''t have to be afraid. All would be fine. That is what I can assure you and I need you to just trust me as you used to in the past. I''m the strongest Alpha in the entire vicinity. You should have more confidence in me, my love."


    She paused to look at me, seemingly trying to take in what I had just said to her. She must have forgotten just how powerful I was, just because of the recent happenings.


    "Tomorrow is our wedding," I continued. "You have to be happy. You can''t allow sadness to take control of you. That would be so wrong."


    "But, I..."


    I stopped her from any furtherints with a kiss on her lips. It seemed to calm her down as she gave into her emotions and kissed me back as passionately as she could. I kept my lips there for a few minutes, savouring the moment. Then I led her away from the mirror to the bed so we could sit and talk before anything else.
