Alpha Bane''s POV
The Wedding Day
"Everyone... The groom!"
The entire ce went into an uproar as everyone pped and cheered. I waved at them in acknowledgement with a huge smile on my face.
"It''s finally happening," Donald said to me with a huge grin on his face. "Princess Aurora is finally yours."
"Not yet," I countered. "She''s not here yet, is she? Let us be patient. It''s best not to get too excited until the main thing."
He just patted me on the back and shook his head at my perceivedck of optimism. Yet, I was very optimistic. I was so sure that the wedding was going to be very sessful if it were just for Aurora. She wanted the wedding and I wasn''t scared of any sort of rejection at all. She was never going to do that.
What I was concerned about was the attack. I knew so well that my father had told me that they weren''t going to attack us on my wedding day but it was only spection. It was perhaps, intelligent spection, but it was spection all the same. There was no guarantee that they weren''t going to show up.
Because of that, I had ordered the entire Pack to be protected by numerous guards, starting from our borders. If they decided to change their minds, I wanted them to meet a fight and so although they''d have been able to break through, they were going to lose a lot of men too, making it a bit easier for us to hold our ground and even defeat them in the end.
Much more protected was the Castle hall, where the wedding was taking ce. It was guarded by numerous guards, especially those that had a very great experience in wars. If it was a war that they wanted, we were well covered, although we weren''t as prepared as we should have been.
I turned around to see how the crowd felt. Everyone looked so happy as they all seemed to be having a great time. I loved that. It showed that everything was going ording to n.
In a few minutes, everywhere went silent as it was time for the bride to walk in. "Let us all p and scream as the bride makes her way here, to this pulpit, so that the couple can exchange their vows."
Everyone pped furiously as she got done with her speech as we all waited anxiously for Aurora.
I wondered what outfit she was going to wear and how beautiful she''d look in it. My heart raced so fast in anticipation. I couldn''t wait to set my eyes on her.
"Hey, calm down, my Alpha," Donald said to me as he patted my shoulder. He probably saw the tension that was radiating off me.
Not wanting to look weak in front of him or anyone else, I justughed and shrugged it off. "I''m alright, man," I said to him. "No problems at all."
The doors of the hall suddenly went right open and I saw Aurora, bathed in a glow of sun rays as she stood, dressed in the most gorgeous white gown that I had ever set my eyes on, with her mother by her side.
She held a flower bouquet in her hands and as usual, she looked so beautiful. Her beauty was so much that I nearly lost myself as I stared at her.
My heart twinged as she took her first step toward the pulpit where I stood and then looked up at me as our gazes locked.
Aurora''s POV
As soon as I took my first step, I looked to the pulpit where I was supposed to head to and my eyes immediately fell on Alpha Bane, who was already looking in my direction.
We locked gazes and my heart soared, as it beat even faster. Every fear and worry that I previously had, even while I stood behind the door of the hall, waiting for my turn to get in, became a thing of the past. I could only think about the wedding; Alpha Bane, whom I was going to spend the rest of my life with, and our baby which was growing inside of me.
It was so beautiful knowing that after the wedding, Alpha Bane and I were going to spend the rest of our lives together as man and wife. No one would be able to separate us. We were going to be a couple and I''d finally be a Luna in the Pack.
As our gazes stayed locked, u couldn''t but imagine how beautiful our life was going to be when we''d finally be wed. I imagined how beautiful our child was going to be and how we were going to ensure that the child was well-catered for.
"You need to walk faster, honey," my mother said, interrupting the flow of my thoughts. "Everyone is waiting for you."
I nodded and smiled at them all for their beautiful gesture. Ever since I walked into the hall, they had not stopped pping and cheering me on. As I took some more gentle steps toward the pulpit, the apuse and screams got even louder and it began to make me feel a tad shy.
"We love you, Princess Aurora!"
"You are so beautiful, Princess!"
"You''re the perfect Luna of this Pack!"
The people kept yelling and saying so many beautiful things concerning me and I couldn''t help but blush. Some of them bowed and chanted my name too as I kept moving forward.
Then I set my eyes on an old woman who stood beside the pulpit, very close to Alpha Bane. "Who''s that?" I asked my mother in a very low tone.
"That''s the priestess," she replied with a smile. "She''s the one to officiate the wedding between you and Alpha Bane."
"Okay."
I walked faster and faster, whilst still making sure to maintain the style in my steps until I finally got to where my darling stood.
I felt the urge to just jump on him and kiss him relentlessly in happiness. I was so d that it was happening; my wedding with him.
He grabbed my hands instead and smiled at me, nting a kiss on my forehead. "You look so gorgeous, my love," he said to me. I always loved to hear him speak those words to me as they meant so much to me.
Together, we turned and faced the priestess as she began to mutter some iprehensible words which I assumed were part of the ceremony.
We were handed a piece of paper and were made to read out what was written to each other in our exchange of vows.
Immediately, we got done with that, we turned to the priestess who gave us a warm smile very briefly before returning to her usual straight visage. "I hereby pronounce you both, husband and wife!"
The entire crowd cheered as we turned around and waved at them. My mother and Donald smiled widely and pped their hands too.
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" Yelled the entire crowd as Alpha Bane and I turned to face each other.
Without wasting any time, he pulled me in for a kiss and we let our tongues dance around in a passionate kiss.
