Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 9 – (Arina) Wedding Dress
Sabrebite was a charming contemporary town of different shades of grey bricks and modern paved roads. The sidewalks were made of cobblestone that led to the town’s center where we stood. Surrounding us were high-rise buildings.The warm mist of the air tickled my features as the scent of freshly baked bread, from the nearby bakery, made its way through my senses. I could hear the chatter of the town and the giggling of those that swarmed through the busy streets.A small hole-in-wall shop sat at the back end of the town’s center. On display, in the window, were the most gorgeous wedding gowns I’ve ever seen. One was made of white feathers, a formfitting gown that expanded towards the bottom reminding me of a swan spreading its wings. Another dress was gold, accented with white pearls that expanded and grew larger towards the bottom of the fabric.The light dinging of the bell, as we entered the shop, alerting a small, figured woman sitting at her sewing machine. She had her dark hair p
Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 10 - (Arina) The Wedding
The wedding was simple, which is exactly what I wanted. It was held in the gardens of Sabrebite, overlooking the changing colors of the autumn leaves. The full moon was at the peak of the sky, shining its essence on the events taking place below. Leaves of reds and oranges were scattered across the cobblestone walkway and crunched under my bare toes as I walked down the aisle.The crisp air danced around my features and sent a chill through my body. At that moment, I wished more than ever that my mother could have been there. It felt almost wrong to have a wedding without her presence. Though at the same time, the way the air had splashes of warmth as the wind picked up, allowing for the leaves to circulate around my feet as I walked, I knew it was my mother walking with me. I could feel the love she brought to me on this very day. The same love that danced in the eyes of Jonathan as he watched me carry myself to him.I held the bouquet in my hands tightly; my fingers trembling with ne
Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 11 – The Art Studio
I stared at my computer nervously. I had Marian’s name typed in the “TO” section of my emails with a couple of attachments of my artwork. I don’t know what’s been keeping me from sending them to her. I know I’m more than capable of landing this job on my own. Jonathan’s offer of helping me get the job was tempting.I met Marian briefly at our wedding; she was a beautiful woman. She’s married to Jonathan’s friend, Anderson, who was also one of Jonathan’s best-man. The memory of the wedding ceremony brought a sense of comfort to me as the events continued to play in my mind.It’s only been a week since the wedding; everything seemed to be moving so fast. I know Jonathan only wants what’s best for me, which is why he offered to speak with Marian on my behalf. Everybody in Sabrebite respected him and a lot of other packs valued him as well. Jonathan was the kind of guy that can make friends easily wherever he went.I always admired that about him.I told Jonathan this was something I wante
Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 12 – An Intruder
“I have an important assignment for you,” Marian said, approaching my desk. “One of my photographers isn’t feeling well. So, I need you to go to Onyxfang and take some photos of the ethnic werewolves. They have a workshop you can take the photos in.”Onyxfang? I had never been to Onyxfang before. The only thing I knew about that pack was that Erick, a good friend of Jonathan’s, was the Alpha. Despite them being friends, Jonathan had always told me that Onyxfang wasn’t the place for a young wolf and said to never go there alone.I couldn’t have heard her correctly. Why would she want me to go there? “Is there an issue?” Marian asked; she didn’t wait around for me to answer. She spun on her heel and began walking back towards her office.Then again if I successfully pull this assignment off Marian would trust me with other big assignments. I could finally prove myself to her and the others. It would show them that even though I’m young, I am very capable.“No, of course not. When would
Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 13 – Dinner Party
I couldn’t hide my anger. I was angry at the fact that he was being so secretive about this Dorie person. When I entered his office earlier that day, he was on the phone with her but then hung up once I showed up. Now at Onyxfang, he comes face to face with her and he blocks me from their link so I couldn’t hear their conversation.The more I thought about it the angrier it made me. However, I knew he was also angry, and I didn’t want to make things worse.“How could you go to Onyxfang alone?” He barked as soon as we got back home. “I told you, it was for work,” I muttered. “How did you even know I was there?” “It’s not important,” Jonathan shot back.“Were you spying on me?” I asked, disbelief in my tone.“I’m trying to protect you, Arina,” Jonathan argued.“I didn’t think you had to spy on me to protect me,” I told him, folding my arms across my chest. “Do you not trust me?”“It has nothing to do with trust. If I wasn’t there, do you know what Dorie would have done?” He asked. His
Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 14 Honeymoon
The moon festival had finally arrived and as promised, Jonathan and I were finally able to enjoy our honeymoon. I hadn’t brought up Dorie at all and I hadn’t asked him what they were talking about at the dinner party last week. But as far as I knew, Jonathan and Dorie haven’t spoken since.She left the party early and she looked really upset. I’m not sure what he said to her, but it mustn’t have been good.I was excited to spend some time with him alone. I feel like I haven’t been able to be a proper luna towards him since we got married weeks ago. He kept his word at protecting me against Rock and helping me investigate more into the death of my mother. He’s been protective and caring. I haven’t had someone care for me this tenderly since my mother was alive.This kind of care and love was foreign to me and wasn’t sure what I expected. But I know he loves me. He woke me up early because he wanted to take me to different packs and meet some of his friends. I was excited to see what e
Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 15 – (Arina) – To Love and Be Loved
The night was beautiful; more so than usual it seemed. I sat in my wolf form, overlooking the riverbed. My blonde fur was still wet from wandering through the waters. I heard the deep growling of Jonathan close by as he found another prey.I wanted to start acting more like a luna towards him; I want to be the wolf he deserves because he deserves the world. He’s always been there to protect me and to love me and I had never noticed. I’ve been so wrapped up with my own problems, with my father and my mother, that I feel I’ve been neglecting Jonathan and his needs as well.Of course, he would never say that to me. He always says that he only ever wants to protect me and care for me. But I can still see the worry and the sadness that lingers in his eyes because he feels I’m not fully in this.If only he knew how wrong he was.If only he knew how much I truly loved him. The wolf in me craves him. The fire in me burns for him.I wished more than anything that I had my mother here to provide
Alpha's One Night Bride #Chapter 16 (Arina) – New Opportunities
“I wish you would let me go with you,” I puffed, staring up at Jonathan. He leaned down to brush his lips across mine. He was leaving to investigate my mother’s death without me, and I felt uncomfortable knowing he was going to be gone.“I’ll only be gone for a week. I’d rather you stay under the protection of Sabrebite,” he told me. “Plus, you have to work.”He was right. We just got back from our honeymoon a couple of weeks ago; there’s no way Marian would allow me to take another week off, regardless of who I was with. She has a business to run, and I need to respect that. I also needed to trust that Jonathan knew what he was doing and that he would report any findings.“I’m just going to miss you,” I told him, burying my face in his chest. He wrapped his arms around me and held me in an embrace.“And I’ll miss you,” he whispered back.I waited for him to leave before heading to work myself.Marion was already in her office when I arrived. Both Mallory and Lucille were standing outs
