After putting on my makeup, William hadn't returned yet, and I sat in the room waiting for the big wedding to come.
The sounds of the maids busying themselves downstairs put me in a good mood, and just now Shirley sent me a message telling me that they were on their way back and that I would soon see William again!
Will he hug me? Will he kiss me? I'm not ready for that. Do I need to know how to kiss in advance? Even though it would make me feel shy.
But Katie must know the way, I think she must be very angry now, after all, I deprived her of her dream, if the Alpha is not William, I would not mind giving her Luna's place.
I am now quite sure that I am deeply in love with William, and whoever tries to take him away from me, I think I will fight to protect.
Although I can't become a wolf, I still have the nature of a wolf. Wolves are extremely protective of what they hold dear, and so am I!
This morning, Mrs. Mary messaged me again. She first congratulated me on my upcoming Luna status, and then secretly told me about Katie's private visit to William today, and specifically asked me not to tell Katie that she was the one who told me the news.
I wasn't too interested in Katie's behavior, it was just the change in Mrs. Mary that surprised me.
She showed a passion for me that she had never shown before. When I was little, she had always treated me badly, and that time when my sister stole the buns from her house, Mrs. Mary found out and beat her sister severely.
I always thought Mrs. Mary was a bad person to be around.
But now she talked a lot to me and expressed her congratulations to me with great enthusiasm, and stressed that she would always take care of my sister in the future, and I knew that her change was all because I was about to become Luna, the woman with the highest status in the community.
As I was replying to Mrs. Mary's message, there was a sudden ruckus outside and it was William returning!
I stood by the window and saw William and my sister get out of the car. My sister looked very happy, she said a few words to William and then walked into the golden hall, I think she came to see me!
William did not walk into the hall, but got into the car with his protector, shifted the direction of the car, and left.
"Gina!" my sister's voice sounded excited at the door.
"Oh! My dear sister, you're finally back!" I opened the door and hugged Shirley tightly, and gave her a deep kiss.
"Honey, you're beautiful!" Shirley noticed my made-up face, "I swear, you're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen! I envy William! If he saw your beautiful face, he would be so happy! No! He'd be so happy he'd pass out!"
"Shirley, no need to compliment me like that, in my heart you're the most beautiful woman in the world! No one can be more beautiful than you!" I took my sister's hand and sat together on the chair by the window.
"Honey, you know what? I met William today, and I think only such a man is qualified to be your MATE! You have a good eye!" Shirley gestured with her hands as she spoke, and I could tell that she was happy for me.
"Shirley, thank you! I wish I could be the happiest bride too!"
"I'm going out first, the Alpha will be here today at noon with his Protector to prepare for the wedding, my dear sister, don't worry, William is just taking care of pack business."
Shirley is the best psychologist, she has read my mind and comforted me in a very appropriate way, I feel very lucky to have such a sister!
"Thank you, my dear sister!"
After Shirley left, I sat in front of the window waiting for the time to move slowly, watching the people who came downstairs to attend the ceremony walk around, watching a car coming down from the top with people in gorgeous dresses walking into the hall, watching a wolf pack become human, they were so respectable and enviable.
Tonight's wedding is the grandest ceremony of the Red night clan in decades, even the appointment of the Alpha is not as grand as today, because the Moon Goddess is the most sacred aspiration of our werewolf pack, and Luna is the representative of the Moon Goddess in a pack, no matter who Luna is, the members of the werewolf pack will respect her.
The red carpet continued from the stairs to the door. Long tables were set on either side of the red carpet, which was covered with pink tablecloths and filled with cakes and wine, and the hall was lit by a combination of white candles and silver-white electric lights, which were covered with pink lampshades.
In the center of the hall is an open space for guests to stand and watch the married couple kiss each other and say their vows to each other, and for them to dance together in this open space.
The hall was brightly lit, and the sound of wine glasses clinking against each other was woven into a beautiful movement, accompanied by the music played by the orchestra, making people want to dance.
At noon, William arrived at the Golden Hall on time. He entered through the back door and pushed his way straight into my room, he had come to put on his tuxedo, and I was too nervous to speak when I saw him.
"King." I saluted softly and he didn't respond, just walked straight to the bed and pulled the curtain up over the bed to cover himself.
He was changing, his perfect body reflected in the curtains of the bed, catching my eye, and I swallowed, my body rolling, feeling the blood in my nostrils about to gush out.
"I know you can't turn into a wolf, and I hate weak people." William's voice came from the bed and my heart seemed to suddenly stop beating.
What did he mean by saying these words to me? Our meeting again was not as nice as I thought it would be. He didn't hug me, didn't kiss me, didn't tell me how much he missed me, only one sentence that would immediately take my breath away.
Hate weak people? Yes, I'm weak, and I know he's not very happy with me, but it's amazing that he put that out there so directly, and right before we were about to get married.
I felt a tightness in my chest and didn't know how to answer his words. I held on to the chair next to me before I could barely stand.
He didn't say another word, and it wasn't long before he pulled back the curtain and walked right up to me, "No matter what my place is in your heart, or what today's ceremony represents, you becoming Luna means nothing to me, and as I said earlier, I hate weak people!"
"This time choose Luna, because of the needs of the community, I want to be clear with you, Night clan is about to attack us, Adolf king is about to come to the community tour, I need a Luna who can stabilize the community, you can not fight, but I think you have the ability to take on such a task, please do not let me down. "
After that, William left the room, I felt weak, my legs couldn't hold me up anymore, I sat limply in the chair, it was all different than I thought!
My MATE hates me so much! He didn't marry me out of love, but because of the stability of the pack, and although he didn't say so, I knew he would abolish me or even kick me out of the pack after all this work was over! I would become a lone wolf, no! A lone wolf who can't become a wolf!
Such a big wedding is not for me to find love, but for the Red night clan to find Luna, they are excited because the community is stable, after this night I will lose my freedom and the right to go find love again, and I end up with nothing.
I picked up my phone, ready to send a message to my sister, but reason made me stop my typing hand and look at my face in the mirror, already dirty from tears, and I knew I couldn't do that.
My sister is only a psychologist and has no other rights. She is my dearest relative, and if I tell her what William thinks, she will run to William's face and question him, will not let the ceremony go on, and will rebel against the whole royal family for my sake.
I don't want my sister to become a sinner targeted by the royal family because of me, and I don't want her to get hurt again because of me, only it's love, I can give it up, and if this can make my sister safe, I'm willing!
I dried the tears from my face and asked the maid to come and fix my makeup. I took back my phone and tried to look at the mirror to learn to smile, a method taught to me by my friends abroad.
He told me, "When you are in a bad mood, you must learn to smile, it makes you feel happy."
When the time came, the maid invited me out for the ceremony, and William and I would walk into the golden hall arm in arm with each other to be worshipped by the congregation and perform the sacred ceremony.
William was already standing outside the door, his face as handsome as ever, but without a smile, I couldn't feel the slightest warmth.
"It seems that you have already thought about it, that's good, be a qualified Luna, I will make you and your family happy, of course, your family does not include me."
I nodded gently as my heart tingled again.
I took William's arm with a smile on my face.
When we appeared in view, the first floor resounded with very loud applause and people looked at us with blessings. I had to make myself look happy.
I saw my sister standing by the stairs with her hands over her mouth, she was happy for me, I knew she must be crying with excitement now, I didn't want her to see the sadness in my heart, my sister was very smart, I needed to act very hard to fool her.
The elder of the clan presided over the ceremony, and under his instructions, we went through the wedding process.
Exchange rings, say vows, and kiss each other.
When William's lips pressed against mine, I could feel his kiss cold and devoid of emotion, and I felt so miserable that tears flowed from my eyes.
After the half-hour ceremony, we shared a dance in the hall and then went back to our room. I was left in the room by William, who never reappeared after he walked out the door.
