Jonathan's POV
I woke up early today and somehow I feel a bit anxious, today is a big day, not just for me but everyone in the pack. This is the day I get married, I am getting married to woman who doesn't know everything about me.
I feel like a liar because I didn't tell her the whole truth. I know that losing a father is one of the most hurtful situations anyone can find themselves in, especially a father who was good and kind and like her father.
I wish I had another way but I didn't have a choice an neither did the old man. I am afraid that if I tell her, she would not believe me. She will think that I am trying to take away the fact that I killed her and that wouldn't be good for me.
She will think that I am running away from taking responsibility for my actions. If she believes me, it might change the way she looks at h
Elena's POVWhen I woke up this morning, I had no idea of a busy schedule I had ahead of me during the day. I knew that weddings are busy, I just didn't think they could be this busy. The elders have given me a task do.They also gave Jonathan a task as well. Whilst he is busy doing what he has to do and I also have my own thing to complete. I have done all but one. It was time for me to go to my parents grave.This is something I had to do on my own. I could have taken my sisters with me but I know that they would want to stay longer than we should. Although we burn our deceased, we have a memorial area.This is where we go to erect headstones in the memory of our loved ones and so when we need to talk to them, we go there. Their bodies are burned but the spirit lives on and there on the burial sight is where all spirits are.I too
Jonathan's POVToday turned out better than I had thought it would and I no longer have problems with Mason. He took me to the wolf waters and it was a sight for sore eyes.The water as clear as the blue sky. I had to put my offerings on the stone and bow down. Mason said that every Alpha of the pack goes there on their wedding day.He said every new born had its bath in these waters, the waters then take a small piece of them and store them here, when a new Alpha gets marrieds, they have to bath in these waters so that the goddess of life can give them the blessings of fertility in the marriage and in the pack.The water was soothing and it definitely did something to me, as soon as I soaked myself in the waters it felt like electricity was flowing through me. I felt stronger than I had ever been before.Mason was there to guide me with everythi
Elena's POVI must admit that what Jonathan told me came as a shock, I had no idea why my father chose him and when he told me what happened, I then realised that it's better that it was Jonathan I was about to marry and not his father.As we spent more time together, I had been trying to shake off the feeling I get everytime I see him. As of late I find myself very nervous whenever I am around him, sometimes I can't even stand to be near him because it feels like my heart will combust in my chest.Seeing him in that tuxedo also did things to me. No one has ever made me feel like that before. I mean I don't even know what to call whatever it is that I am feeling, I just know that for the first ever since Jonathan proposed a union, I am actually looking forward to the wedding reception.Jonathan told me a lot of things and I guess he had helped m
Jonathan's POV I left the house and went to the Willow tree to wait for my bride to be. I was nervous, more nervous like I have ever been before. I wasn't sure if she was going to come through. I had earlier on decided that she should know the truth about what really happened between me and her father. I honestly took a huge chance by telling hee. She could have called off the whole thing. She could have just stayed with her sisters and not come to the willow tree and I wouldn't blame her if she did. I didn't think that she would come here looking as beautiful as she does. When the music started and I saw her walking towards me, my heart stopped for a minute. Her dress was so beautiful and I couldn't wait to see her face under the veil, to see if she was smiling and crying. My heart stopped beating again when t
Elena's POVEver since I could remember, turning into my wolf self ahs always been one of the most painful transitions I have ever had to go through. I thought that it would get better with time but it didn't.That was until my beautiful gift from Nuna, I would sometimes wake up in my wolf state without any explanations. I don't know but somehow it all feels different.For the first time it didn't hurt at all when I turned. I just told my mind to turn and it without any hassles. I don't even know how to explain all of this but if there's one thing I know for sure, is that our marriage has been accepted by the ancestors.This is something that happens only when two people have imprinted on each other, it's alleged that it also know as the tree of love and secrets, that on that day we learn each other's secrets.
Jonathan's POVThe longer I stay in this pack, the more I learn about the amazing things they can do and clearer it is to me why my father was so jealous of Elena's father. He can never be the leader he was and I am filling some very big shoesMy mind has been in turmoil ever since I learned about the vampire that wants my blood. I am still not clear what he wants to do with it but I know that he must never get the chance to get it. I can't allow something like that to get my blood.I have always known that there's vampires, my father told me a lot of thing about them and the first thing was that these are our natural born enemies. He said that they are not even living because their hearts don't beat.I have never met one and I honestly thought that I would never have to come across one. I didn't even know that some of my people had come across
Elena's POVThey say that when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade. No one knows that better than me. I have been thrown in the deep and I am finally learning how to swim.Last night was the only the beginning. I am starting to feel the effects of the Willow tree magic. As soon as I transported the book back home, I went back and took Jonathan. The medalion is certainly the fastest way to travel to anywhere.We went to the born fire walking hand in hand with my husband and everything about that moment felt right. I think that our marriage has brought us together in more ways than one.Even though I was still a virgin, Jonathan wasn't the first guy I have ever kissed, he is just the only guy who's kiss I felt deep down in my stomach. I was in a hurry to get away from everyone because I feared that I might give myself away.&nbs
Jonathan's POV I am certain that my marriage will defiantly go in the right direction. We have been married for a week and even though we still don't sleep in the same bed, we are pretty much starting a relationship. I suppose Mason was right that I should let Elena know how I feel about her. Mason and I have become good friends. I don't know he kind of feels like family to me and Elena. He suggested that I take Elena to a honeymoon, he said that it would give us time to get to know each other better, away from everyone where we both could just be ourselves. I plan to surprise Elena with the honeymoon. I also think that being away from everything could finally give her some time to rest. If she is not practicing spells, she is nose deep in the journals. I am glad that she is making progress and as far as I am concerned she had just proved m
