Chapter 206 206: The wedding that never was...

Cassidy

Present time...

White Moon Pack.

I sat in the elegantly decorated waiting room of the wedding, my fingers trembling as I smoothened down the layers of the white tulle and lace of my wedding dress. I clutched the lace edges of my veil, trying to distract myself from the thousand emotions that coursed through me.

My shoulders were rigid, my back straight against the ivory chair, I was trying not to cry, not to show emotion. Today must be perfect to the end. But how long would I hide the tears that simmered in my hazel eyes? My lips painted a delicate rose, shook with trying to hold the cry bumbling at the depths of my soul.

Still, I couldn't allow the tears to ruin my perfect makeup I'd spent hours getting done. The diamond-encrusted tiara felt heavy on my perfectly styled dark curls, each strand was meticulously placed to frame my heart-shaped face.

Three hours. I've been waiting for three hours. Three agonizing hours for Ramsey to arrive, so that the wedding could start but he was nowhere to be found.

At first, I'd made excuses for him. I wasn't even alarmed in the slightest because I had spoken to him yesterday before the Bachelor's Eve and he had asked me if there was a way he could get out of it and we had laughed about it.

After the first forty-five minutes with no sign of him coming, I tried to convince myself that he was merely late because of the bachelor party the night before. Maybe he overslept and was nursing a hangover or perhaps he had forgotten some small detail that needed last-minute attention. But as the second hour tickled by with no word from him, dark thoughts began creeping in and my optimism wavered, replaced by a gnawing sense of dread.

I pushed them away, refusing to acknowledge the growing dread in my stomach.

Where was he?

A while later, Lenny arrived, looking like death warmed over and reeking of alcohol. He was dressed immaculately in the clothes that had been picked out for him and Ramsey alright but his bloodshot eyes and messy hair that had scanned the room in confusion before settling on me, who immediately rose from my chair.

"Lenny," I exclaimed, hope igniting in my chest. "Where's Ramsey? Have you seen him?"

"Alpha Ramsey?" Lenny rubbed his temple, searching the room with confusion in his eyes, "Isn't he here yet? He told me before he left the club yesterday that I don't need to come for him in the morning so that he can take care of himself."

"I don't understand," My heart resumed its pounding. "He left the club before you guys?"
