[IMPERIAL HALL OF CRESCENT]
''why do i have to marry her'' Alex says to his father as he fixes his cuff links and paces around the dim lit room ''like the only thing we require from Akisha is a child and i can do that without having to marry her''
''look, Alexander you know you have to wed her, you have no choice but to wed her, we can't let the future emperor of the wolf tribes to be known as an illegitimate child, so marry the girl and when she births us an heir do with as you wish''
Alexander slouches back on the chair in defeat, he couldn't imagine getting married to a nobody like Akisha from the pictures he had seen of her she looked bony and tattered with gigantic eye bags her sister was way prettier and she wasn't even that pretty but when he was supposed to get married to her sister he didn't even mind because even though she wasn't that pretty she still beat his standards
but Akisha, Akisha was repulsive to him, he didn't know how he'd get marred to her, he just planned that he'll get married to her bang her, and impregnate her and after she gives birth pay her off for a divorce as fast as possible
the gigantic doors open as the kings man Herold comes in and bows ''the jet is ready your majesty'' he tells to king Alister
''okay, i'm going now'' king Alister says as he pats Alexanders shoulders and leaves for the jet
''does his majesty plan on taking the jet to the eastern tribe'' Herold asks Alexander
''what manner of idiocy do you suffer from, like why are you asking such a stupid question, have you ever seen me on a jet before'' Alex said lashing out him
''my apologies, your majesty, may i at least accompany his majesty to the eastern tribe'' Herold asks in order to monitor Alex's movement
''you may not, go with my father'' Alexander replies coldly
''but...'' Herold tries to complain
''you may leave'' alex answers cutting him off

[THE EAST TRIBE]
Akisha was astonished by how grand the east hall was, she had only had access to it twice before but she had not seen it decorated like that before, every single detail was well thought of, the decor was very mindful of the fang tooth guests
the vibe of the room was mainly dark and the curtains and table cloth was dark purple and the only thing that had the ware wolves in mind was the silver ware and candles which were white gold because of ware wolves were averse to iron
akisha was only looking at it from the wedding car but she felt the sophistication of the hall in its full glory
''are you pleased with the design'' king asher asked his daughter snapping her out of her daze
''yes father, it is rather grand'' akisha answered still amazed by the exquisite decor of hall
this was the longest mutual conversation that the father daughter duo had ever had, the king had always told kisha that she should be seen and not heard and only spoke to her when he had an order to give out, but the opposite was the case when it came to her sisters annabeth and alisha were always showered with praise and was usually spoiled by their father much to the envy of kisha, she always wished to be cared for and loved by her father and king asher knew it and, it tore him to shreds not being able to show love and care for his daughter, he wanted to tear the bastard who broke his daughters heart apart but he had no choice but to stay calm
it pained him so much to have to show his daughter so much hatred and treat her with much disdain but he had no choice this was just the way things were and she just had to deal with it
''erm, akisha there is some thing i need to give you'' asher said in a serious tone and kisha just looks in his eyes in curiosity as he clears his throat and takes off a dainty white gold necklace, with a small silver ring embedded with moon stones as a pendant
'' your mother gave it to me when we were still together, when we were still in love, before she was banished for treason, and i found it lying around, and figured i should give it to you to give it to your future husband'' he says handing the ring to his daughter holding her hand as he gave her the ring
that was the first time he held his daughters hand she had grown so much she was now 18 years old she looked so beautiful just like her mother
'' its beautiful'' akisha said looking at the ring with tears in her eyes
''yes it is, your mother made it herself'' asher says in agreement to akisha's words, he had not taken the ring off in 19 years yet he didn't fail to see the beauty of the ring
''thank you'' akisha says as she puts the ring in a box
a knock on the door interrupts the moment between the father and the daughter
''their here your majesty'' the kings man says as they go to the banquet hall
