My Alpha’s Betrayal: Burning In The Flames Of His Vengeance

15. A Union 

CHARLENE 

The day of the wedding had arrived, and I had never felt so alone. Hunter had been nothing but pleasant whenever I saw him, but it hadn‘t been as often as I had wanted. Being the Alpha, he was extremely busy. He had already begun to work on the team that would travel with us, sending scouts and messengers out in secrecy to our allies. 

Although I had only attended one or two meetings, I realised Hunter was a man who was admirable. He was a little arrogant at times, a little teasing, quite handsome and undeniably sexy... I had seen him with his shirt open two days ago and my stomach did not settle. Of course I wasn‘t ready to be intimate with him yet, but I couldn‘t deny that the idea was beginning to entertain my mind quite often. 

I was now dressed in the lace dress that Hunter had asked the pack dressmaker to create for me, with my taste in mind. It had turned out far more beautiful than I had ever imagined it would. 

My hair was left open, styled in loose waves with a braid around the crown, a few strands framed my face on either side, and my make–up was soft and elegant. 

I looked pretty, but I was missing Yileyna. I always imagined her being by my side at my wedding, as I would be at hers. 

Oh how innocent we were. Back then we would giggle and talk of marrying a handsome man, of having a magical wedding with dancing and many glasses of wine and ale. 

I smiled sadly, wishing she was here. I could just picture her, bubbling with excitement and naughty words, with her arms around my shoulder telling me I looked amazing. She would whisper and tell me she wanted all the details of the wedding night and how she was happy for me... 

“Luna, are you alright?” The Beta‘s mate, Polly, asked with concern. I blinked, realising I had tears in my eyes. 

| smiled and nodded reassuringly. 

“I was missing my sister.” I explained gently, giving her hands a comforting squeeze. 

From the moment everyone realised that I was to marry Hunter, they were already addressing me as Luna. 

I did notice that there were a few who seemed irritated with this engagement, but I couldn‘t really blame them. Alpha Hunter was an ideal man to have by your side. Not only because I know many women would love an Alpha, but because he was handsome, strong and charming. 

And he chose me. 

“I‘m sure when things are calm once more, we could perhaps throw an additional party.” Polly suggested comfortingly. 

“Thank you, Polly.” I said, smiling at the woman who was only slightly shorter than me. 

Her stunning brown hair was in an elegant bun, and she wore a light mint dress. 

A gentle knock on the door made me turn, and I saw Gamma Grayson standing there, dressed in a smart tunic and pants. 

My heart skipped a beat when I realised that I would be walked out by none other than my biological father. 

“You look beautiful, Charlene.” 

“Thank you, Gramma Grayson.” I replied. For a moment I wanted to tell him that he was my father, but I knew I couldn‘t do that. 

I had always imagined a wedding in the castle of Westerfell... full of high officials and nobles. A wedding where Dad would lead me to my groom chosen by him. 

I was nervous, yet I wasn‘t doubting my decision, something told me that it was all going to be perfect. 

“It‘s time.” He said and I nodded as he held his hand out to me. I took it, allowing him to lead me from my room. 

My strapless ivory lace gown flowed around me, the flower motifs covering the entire bodice. Stopping at my hips before scattered lace flowers covered the tulle skirts. A row of button fastenings were on the back and the trail spread on the ground behind me, as I allowed Gamma Grayson to lead me down the hall towards the backyard. 

“I know your father would have been proud of you. You‘ve made a decision that will not only benefit this kingdom, but one chosen wisely. Alpha Hunter will also make a good partner, however rest assured we will always be there for you if you ever need us.” He said, making me smile.
