186 Wedding revelations II

Lyla

It would be better if I was struck by lightning at this point as my mother’s words registered.

My hand that had held her arms moments ago, fell limp beside me. I was still trying to process everything she just said. What was she talking about? How can I be a bastard when she was my mother?

Nathan came forward, his voice was low but firm. “Stop this now, Luna Vanessa.”

She turned to him, her expression was unrepentant. “This is not your decision, Nathan. It is the law of our pack”

His blue eyes burned with annoyance. “This is my wedding, and I will not let you or any of the stupid laws ruin it. I love Lyla and I will marry her.”

Then he turned to me, who still stood frozen beside my mother, tears clouding my vision. “Lyla,” he said softly, reaching out his hand. “Come with me.”

For a moment, the world seemed to hold its breath. I glanced between my mother and Nathan’s outstretched hand. With trembling fingers, I placed my hand in his.

My mother scoffed. “The law is clear, Nathan. If you go against it, what will the people say? Are you trying to tell us that you’re bigger than the law?”

The crowd quieted, and all eyes turned to us.

“If this is a matter of legitimacy,” I said coldly. “It will be addressed after the ceremony. Until then, the union will proceed as planned.”

“I’m sorry, Nathan but I cannot allow that,” My mom drew closer. “If you don’t want your beloved Lyla to rot in the dungeon at the West for the rest of her miserable life, you’d stop being so headstrong. I warned you, didn’t I? I gave you a better option but you thought you were bigger than me and that your will is final”

“This has nothing to do with my will, Luna Vanessa, Nathan screeched closing the distance between them. “I love Lyla. She’s my life and I want her. Pushing your daughter to me is ridiculous. If it’s not Lyla… then no wedding is happening.”

“Oh, it will,” Luna Vanessa chuckled evilly. “You see, I prepared so much for it to go to waste. So, there will be a wedding at the end of the day. Whether you agree to it or not.”
