Chapter 619 Give Me A Chance

The wedding was halted, and when I was summoned to appear before the Council for my trial, I didn't even have time to change out of my wedding dress-a traditional royal attire of the Lunar Realm.

I glanced down at the silver blouse, its snug fit and intricate embroidery catching the light. The flowing silk skirt swayed gracefully around my legs as I moved and its elegance was undeniable. A delicate veil, pinned at the crown of my hair, trailed behind me, secured by a crescent moon clip. The diamond jewelry I wore sparkled brilliantly, perfectly complementing the attire and completing the regal look.

His expression was one of pure astonishment, his eyes wide and unblinking. My cheeks grew warm, and I was certain they were flushed as red as a ripe tomato. His gaze roamed over me, slow and deliberate, filled with raw hunger.

I fought the urge to squirm under his openly possessive stare. It was both thrilling and ironic to see him look at me this way, especially while I stood there wearing a wedding dress meant for another man. Arena was just as thrilled to see him as I was, and for a moment, I wanted to run straight into his arms, forgetting everything I had once promised about my obligations to the Lunar Realm. Huh, such a horny wolf I had for myself. But I couldn't blame her for feeling this way, because with the way our mate looked, it was natural for a woman to desire him.
