Pursuing My Rejected Alpha

In fact, the wedding felt like a more intimate affair. The guests attended because they wanted to share the joy and happiness of the wedding couple, not because they were forced to pay homage to a certain pack.

The wedding day was thankfully sunny, with not a single grey cloud hanging in the sky. The soft spring sunlight fell upon the chattering guests, and the fragrant smell of flowers filled the air.

Werewolf pups ran around in the garden, shrieking with delight and playing with each other without caring about the politics and rivalry between packs. Shortly before the ceremony started, their poor parents had to go around to catch their children before they wrecked anything and ruined the otherwise beautiful wedding.

Once the clock hit 10 AM, all the guests — with their children — took their seats. At an elevated stage, a beautiful songstress sang an equally beautiful love song in accompaniment of soft piano and violin music.

Heads turned toward the garden entrance as Lucien and Lady Fangblade entered the wedding hall. Behind them, Annalynne and a bunch of other girls walked with buckets of red roses in their hands.

Lady Fangblade had always been an attractive woman, but she looked exceedingly beautiful on this day. So beautiful that Dane Silverback held his breath while watching his bride walk toward him.

Behind him, Ronan stood with a gentle smile hanging on his lips. His mother looked like a goddess-incarnate, but the handsome man next to her was endlessly mesmerizing.

The beautiful pair of caramel brown eyes, his shiny red-golden hair, the sensuous pair of red lips that asked to be kissed the whole time, and the sturdy frame that was quick to melt beneath Ronan, accepting the Alpha’s love unconditionally and willingly.

.....

‘I love you,’ Ronan whispered via Mind Link.

Lucien looked up at him and smiled.

‘I love you too.’

While the Alpha and his Luna exchanged sweet glances behind the bride and groom, the wedding proceeded without delay.

Little Ralph Youngshaper had been recruited as the ring bearer. In his haste to reach his mommy, he kept wanting to run. Kinnon had to remind him to walk again and again. The cute little boy invited giggles and smiles from the enchanted guests.

When he reached the end of the hall, he lifted the red velvety pillow with the two rings on top of it like some kind of sacrificial item.

“Thanks, Little Youngshaper,” Ronan said with a wink.

Ralph meanwhile had come to understand that Ronan was the awful thief who stole his mommy away, so he was not too fond of the Alpha.

He stuck out his tongue at Ronan in response.

“Bleehhhh,” he said while pulling an eyelid down.

The crowd broke into laughter.

Ralph then ran in Lucien’s direction and went to hug his leg.

Trying hard to suppress his laughter, Lucien lifted Ralph into his arms and cuddled him.

Ronan gave the little boy a stink-eye. He then stood aside with the rings in his hand.

The ceremony was officiated by the High Priest from the Holy Temple of the Moon Goddess.

“Esteemed ladies and honorable gentlemen, welcome to this wedding ceremony,” he spoke to the crowd.

“The Moon Goddess has seen fit to bring the bride and groom together in this beautiful place, to unite them as man and wife.”

“Bride and groom, please wash and dry your hands now.”

Two attendants came up, each of them brought a basin of clear water for the wedding couple to wash their hands in.

Once they were done, they dried their hands on white towels.

Afterward, Lady Fangblade and Dane Silverback laced their hands together. The High Priest tied their hands together with a thick, golden rope and put both of his hands on top of their united hands.

“Adele Fangblade,” he spoke to the bride first. “Are you willing to take Dane Silverback as your husband, love and cherish him, in happiness and sorrow, in sunny and rainy days, in sickness and health, from today on until the Moon Goddess separates you?”

Overcome with emotions, Lady Fangblade was speechless.

She nodded fervently before tears came falling across her cheeks and she said, “I am willing.”

“Dane Silverback,” the High Priest turned to the groom next. “Are you willing to take Adele Fangblade as your wife, love and protect her, in happiness and sorrow, in sunny and rainy days, in sickness and health, from today on until the Moon Goddess separates you?”

Dane’s voice was hoarse when he replied with “I am willing.”

He did not shed any tears, but his eyes were glassy and he had to press his lips together to keep them from trembling.

“Bride and groom, please put the rings on your partners.”

That was the cue for Ronan to step forward. He turned to his parents and offered them a pair of sparkling golden rings.

“With this ring, I, Dane Silverback, take you, Adele Fangblade, as my wife,” Dane said while he slipped the smaller ring on Lady Fangblade’s finger.

“With this ring, I, Adele Fangblade, take you, Dane Silverback, as my husband,” Lady Fangblade said afterward when she replied the favor.

“The wedding has concluded,” the High Priest announced with a broad smile. “I declare the bride and groom to be man and wife.”

Dane pulled his wife closer and gave her a deep kiss. A loud cheer went through the crowd. Lucien had to laugh when he saw the conflicted expression on Ronan’s face. All red in the face, the Alpha averted his eyes in shame.

The bride and groom eventually broke their kiss. After the golden rope around their wrists was taken off, the bride received a wedding bouquet of pink roses from Annalynne.

The unmarried girls quickly hurried to the front to catch the bouquet as per the tradition glorified by human beings.

Lady Fangblade’s gaze drifted over the sea of eager faces. After some deliberation, she cracked an apologetic smile to the girls and turned to Lucien who stood behind her instead.

“I can’t wait to hear you call me mother,” she said while passing Lucien the bouquet.
