chapter 44 The Wedding
It was a beautiful day. The full moon was tonight, and everything was as it should be. Luca had accepted the fact that Luna would be by his side when they got to Lydia, and he had gotten into the feeling of getting married. Everyone in the tribe and specially invited guests from the other tribes were coming in to witness their marriage ceremony. So many gifts had already arrived and had been put on display in the great hall. Everyone was so busy getting everything ready.
Luna was still lying awake on her bed taking in the moment. This day was a day unlike any other. She smiled as she listened to the sound of the birds chirping, she could even hear the buzzing of the bees. Luna giggled to herself as she walked to her terrace to admire the view. This was going to be her last night sleeping in this room. After the wedding, they would reside in the king and queen's residences.
Luca's father never stayed there not even when he was married to Luca's mother since she was half human and was never really accepted. Luca's father remained at the family’s residence. He only used the other rooms for functions. Luca and Luna's things had already been brought over. All they had left in their old rooms were the things that they would need for the wedding preparations.
She had slept alone last night but she had dreamed of Luca. Her dreams are always so lifelike. “In a few hours I won't have to resort to dreams” she whispered to herself. She ran herself a bath and enjoyed the soak until she was interrupted by a maid bringing her breakfast. She wanted to stay away from Luca as much as possible today so that when he saw her it would be as if he were seeing her for the first time. She wanted this day to be unforgettable.
She had her breakfast quickly and started getting herself ready. Her nails were done after which she went for a walk in the garden. The path where she was to walk down was beautifully decorated with natural flowers and rose petals leading up to a beautiful arch full of butterflies. It was so natural and perfect. After the ceremony, they were to head to the Coronation room where she would be crowned queen. They would have their reception and would have to run into the woods to have their first run as mates where he would be expected to mark her.
Luna was so happy. Nothing could ruin her day. She caught Luca's scent and so she left before being seen by him. She felt like a child playing hide and seek in a park. But it was all going to be worth it. She loved him so much and wanted this day to be unforgettable no matter how silly she was acting.
She returned to her room where she got her hair done. They let most of it up in a bridal hairstyle. Her face was made up flawlessly. Her dress was a long mermaid sheer dress. The entire dress was see-through with rubies covering her nipples and genitals. The dress had a long cape that started from her shoulders. It was covered in rhinestones. Her shoes matched her dress. The entire thing was bedazzled.
She walked downstairs where Soccorah greeted her. She thought that she would not be able to make it but there she was holding her ring and exquisitely dressed in a red mermaid dress as well. Soccorah hugged and congratulated her friend and led her to the car. The twelve bridesmaids followed in another limousine. Luna was so happy to have her friend as she knew none of the bridesmaids. She was happy to have Soccorah here to celebrate this day with her. It made the day even more memorable. She wondered how Luca was doing. She was starting to feel nervous. She hoped that she wouldn't disappoint her husband not just as a wife but a queen. Being married to royalty was the farthest thing from her mind and she was doing just that.
Luca and his groomsmen took their place beneath the arch in the garden to await Luna's entrance. The guests were seated and patiently awaiting the bride's entrance. Luca was surprisingly nervous. He stood wearing his white suit with a long cape covered with gem-matching Luna's. He also wore his crown. Luca stood looking majestic awaiting his bride.
Everyone stood up when the bridesmaids emerged to chariots of fire, followed by Luna to a bridal tune with Soccorah behind her ensuring that all was ok with her dress. As she strode down the aisle like the goddess that she was, everyone marveled at her poise, grace, and beauty. Luca was breathless as he saw his soulmate in a whole new light. She never ceased to amaze him. She was so beautiful in that dress it's a pity that it would have to come off.
She took her place next to Luca and gave him a smile that melted his heart. At that moment she was the envy of the she-wolves of the packs. Luca was now accounted for and was no longer available for their escapades. The ceremony started and they exchanged vows and rings and they tied the knot with a kiss. As they Kissed Luna felt like he would not let go. She didn’t want him to either but that could wait till later. They had the rest of their lives to be intimate surely, they could wait a few hours. As the walked to the hall, Luna had a vision and warned Luca. “She's left the cabin and coming here but she’s coming with her coven. We need to find her and kill her before she does anything to hurt anyone.”
“How far are they?” He asked her. “They haven't reached our borders. They've just left Attica.” She replied. Well then let's finish our business. Enjoy the party then we will be ready by the time they get here.” He replied as he motioned to his alphas to prepare the warriors.” “Your aunt does have the worst timing. She will pay dearly for cutting our wedding night short.” He whispered. She smiled. “You never cease to amaze me."
