As I stand at the end of the aisle in a suit and tie, I can't help but feel enraged. Why am I here? What am I doing? Of course, my father has found a way to screw me over long after his death. Not only am I about to marry a woman I don't even know, but this has put a strain on my relationship with Kadae, who is my queen, love, and first wife.
I wish she would understand that I don't want this! For some reason, she has it in her head that I'm willingly getting married to this woman. She's away with our two newborns while I'm here waiting for this ceremony to start. Does anyone think that I'm going to enjoy myself? Some of my friends joke and say this is a blessing in disguise while others just say this will be better because she's an omega.
As a dominant alpha, I didn't think I'd be able to have children with the woman I love and by some miracle, we have twin boys. Kadae is a beta and refuses to allow me to touch her when I'm in my rut. I don't blame her though as I hurt her real bad the first and only time this happened.
After the birth of the twins, we were told Kadae wouldn't be able to withstand bearing me any more children but I'm happy with my boys. I have a feeling my firstborn, Amari, will be an alpha like me, but with his mother's powers.
As I am a descendant of the ancient Yuki family, I have the power of ice. I rarely ever use it but I'm told if I'm angry enough, I make the room very cold. As I look over my guest, I'd say in this situation it's the truth as many are shivering. My wife is a descendant of the Hira family and has powerful healing abilities.
The two other ancient families are the Shimizu and Hona which have descendants that can use water and fire respectively. But the Okazaki family? They're a newer high-ranking family, but I've never been told what their powers are. Unlike the other families where their powers originated from the alphas in the family, their powers seem to always go to the omegas instead.
Which leads me to where I'm standing now. I'm to take the young lady of the Okazaki family as my second wife. She just turned of age and is eighteen years old but hasn't even had her debutante ball yet. No one knows what she looks like either but that isn't the problem. I don't want this marriage. I already have my queen and heirs.
Another reason why I don't want this marriage? Her father Sato Okazaki helped my father abuse my little sister and me. I never met her but I can tell her father dotes on her from the way he speaks. I don't want a spoiled little princess but I can't get out of it either. It's a legal and binding contract that I can't escape from.
I'm brought out of my thoughts by the sound of some music starting and my stomach turns. It looks like it's time to begin. I watch the door open and my eyes darken as I see Sato. He's leading a short woman down the aisle. She's wearing a simple yet elegant wedding dress and has a long veil over her face so I can't even see what she looks like. Will she be her father's twin? The thought of it makes my skin crawl.
Soon Sato hands over his daughter. "Take good care of her now." His voice is enough to make me pissed off. I swallow it back and take her hand. She keeps her head down and stays quiet as the ceremony starts. What a sham of a wedding... when asked if I'll take this woman as his wife, I'm tempted to say no but I also know it wouldn't go over well so I answer "I do" in a bored and disinterested tone.
"Nala Okazaki, will you take this man as your husband?" The priest asks her now. "... I do." Her voice is soft and shy. It's not what I'm expecting so I'm taken aback. She doesn't sound snobbish at all. We change rings with a "with this ring I thee wed" then comes the part I'm dreading. "You may now seal your vows with a kiss."
I grit my teeth but reach forward and lift the veil off and over her head. I'm taken in by a pair of breathtaking blue eyes. She looks nothing like her father as her hair is long, full, and a perfect black color with blue undertones. She looks so young... so innocent. I can't let my guard down though. I swallow hard and then lean forward. I can feel her tense but this has to be done. I give her a full-on kiss but then jolt back from the static. Were those sparks? Or just static electricity?
I hear everyone clap and I swallow hard. It's official. I have a second wife and her name is Nala Okazaki... no. Nala Yuki.
