My wife

Mia

On getting to the hall’s entrance, I saw Father waiting for me and his face lit up in a warm smile as his eyes met mine. 

“Father”

My voice came out in whispers.

“You look so beautiful Mia”

He smiled, kissing my cheeks.

“You make such a beautiful bride”

He added softly and I smiled.

On hearing the music that came from the chapel, he turned to face me.

“Ready?”

He asked and I nodded.

The maids who stood behind me straightened the hem of my gown behind me as the sound of the piano started to fill up the place.

“I am ready”

I whispered, wrapping my arms around his hand as we stepped into the hall.

Entering the hall, the music grew louder and the guests stood up, their eyes fixed on us as we walked down the aisle. Their gentle murmurs ceased, replaced by the soft rustle of my gown and the piano soothing melody.

I saw some familiar faces among the crowd. Ava, my best friend who had a wide smile on her lips, Mother who seemed teary and looked like she would into tears at any moment, I also caught sight of my grandmother, her pale face also had a smile on her lips as she stared at me. But what really caught my attention was the figure standing at the back of the room, partially hidden in the shadows, Rowan.

His eyes seemed to bore into mine, filled with a deep sadness and longing. The smile he had on his lips earlier had faded, replaced by a somber expression and I felt a pang in my chest as our eyes met, but I couldn’t linger on the moment, not with Alpha Logan waiting for me at the altar so I slowly looked away from him, flashing him a faint, apologetic smile before turning my attention back on the ceremony.

As my eyes wandered, I also caught sight of werewolves who were Alpha Logan’s relatives, some barely smiled while some had little smiles on their faces and some only stared at me. They were also some of my relatives which I could recognize and they stared at me with pity and others repulsion. 

Before I could feel nervous with their gazes, I brought my gaze to the front and my eyes met the piercing stare of Alpha Logan, the man who was about to become my husband. He stood tall at the altar waiting for me to join him and for a moment we just looked at each other.

His hair was neatly combed back and his tailored black suit fit perfectly, showcasing his strong build and sharp features. The crisp white shirt and slim black tie perfectly complemented his dark attire and on his left lapel was a delicate gold pin.

He was simply breathtaking, even more handsome than I had imagined.

His icy blue eyes seemed to see right through me as if searching for something and I felt my heart skip a beat. It was surreal, thinking that this stranger, this man I had never met before was about to become my husband. The thought alone sent a shiver down my spine and I gulped nervously.

As we finally reached the altar, father placed my hand in Alpha Logan’s, his fingers intertwining with mine in a firm but gentle grasp. I felt a jolt of electricity run through me at the touch and my heart skipped another beat. Alpha Logan’s eyes never left mine, his blue eyes seemed to hold me captive as he stared at me and I nervously gulped. With his hair combed back, it allowed one to look at his face more clearly and with the way he looked at me right now, staring at me as if I was the only person in the room, I had to remind myself not to fall weak in my knees.

 

The priest who was standing there was an elderly man with grey hair and he announced, “Everyone can sit down”

The guests obeyed, their soft murmurs filling the chapel as they settled into their seats.

Retuning back to what the priest was saying, I heard him ask,

"Do you promise to love honor and care for each other through eternity, to love and cherish each other through joys and challenges in mortality and immortality, forsaking all others in life and beyond?"

"We do"

Our voices echoed in unison.

The priest who held the rings in his hands said,

"Let these rings be a symbol of your love and repeat after me my lord"

He said to Alpha Logan.

Alpha Logan nodded as he repeated after the elderly man, saying word for word,

"I, Logan promise to love, honor and cherish Maya, my wife, through all eternity. To stand by her side in life and beyond, through joys and darkness. To love and support you and love each day with kindness, understanding, love and truth. With this ring I thee wed Maya, my beloved wife, now and forevermore"

And with that, he pushed the ring into my fingers.

The priest then turned to me and I also repeated the words before I was given a ring to place on his finger.

The priest smiled

"By the power given to me and with everyone's blessings, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride"

He announced and I felt my heart start beating faster in my chest. My palms grew sweaty as Alpha Logan leaned in, his lips few inches from mine and I could feel his warm breath on my face. And then, his lips touched mine, sending shivers down my spine.

 The kiss was gentle, yet possessive as if claiming me as his own and I felt my heart skip another beat as he parted my lips, deepening the kiss.

  Alpha Logan slowly pulled away from my lips, leaving me breathless and wanting more and with a little smile on his lips, picked up my hand and turned to look at the guests, “I introduce to you all, My wife and Luna, Maya Thoren”

He announced, his voice not just echoing in the room where we stood but it was also loud enough for the people in the castle to hear and cheers filed the room.
