Chapter 32 - Chapter 32

Ivonne POV

The wedding tune played in the background as I stood at the back of the crowd, my silver heels digging into the earth decorated with well trimmed grasses.

My slim yet curvy figure was concealed in a floor length silver dress Tobias had chosen for me. I recalled my shocked reaction when I had opened the box which contained the dress when it was sent to my room by Garret.

For a moment I wondered if he knew I was a silver wolf but brushed off the idea hence it was a far fetched notion which I didn't dwell on. The top part of the dress was made of a deep v neckline, the sleeves long and made of flower patterned lace.

My abdomen and waist was tightened in the corset style of the dress before the shiny material flowed freely from there downwards. I had modified the print design into a slit on my left leg.

It turned out to be a good decision thus the whole attire proved heavy despite being beautiful and the slit enabled me walk lightly with the rest of it dragging behind me.

My hair was braided backwards, the brown strands which halted inches above my ass having silver colored hair clips pinned to it. The sun hitting down from the sky making the material and clips shine as they caught the light.

The bouquet in my hand and my brown hair were the only normal colors on me and for the first time in a long time, I felt beautiful and special.

It was my first time being at the back of Tobias mansion and it was indeed a beautiful sight I never expected. Natural scents of flowers filled the air as the said flowers were lined along the foot of the walls.

Above me were blue and green tiny colored bulbs stringed along a black rope which was probably a wire and stringed around and above the 4 metal poles which marked the area the congregation was seated.

Just then the tune changed which was my signal to begin my walk down the aisle. All eyes whirled in my direction as I inhaled a breath, holding it in for some seconds before I exhaled.

Feeling like I had gathered enough confidence I placed one leg in front of the other, my brown eyes appreciating the man who was positioned proudly as he stood beside the officiating elder.

He appeared dashing in his suit, blue eyes glistening as they locked with mine, his lips curling to the side as a slight breeze brushed a hair strand over his left brow.

I focused on him alone as I covered the distance between us, the stares and murmurs of the crowd becoming nothing as I felt captivated by him as his gaze roamed intensely from my head to my heels and returned to meet my stare.

"You look beautiful Ivonne," he said in a genuine smile, one which made my heart catch at his sweet tone.

"Thank you," I beamed at him, not able to hide my blush due to my hairstyle which exposed my flaming cheeks for all to see.

"You are welcome," he murmured and to my surprise leaned over to place his face between my neck and shoulder. His lips grazed my skin in a brief kiss as the next thing he was whispering in my ear. "To your left."

"Hmm?" I raised a question, my brain a bit scrambled from the kiss that I didn't understand what or who he was referring to.

Discreetly he cocked his head in the same direction and I had no option but to peer in the path he was dictating and lo and behold it was Lincoln and Allison.

Their expressions were priceless as Lincoln who was dressed in a long-sleeved brown shirt and matching slacks had his mouth gaped in shock at the scene he was witnessing.

Allison on the other hand had a palm shielding her opened mouth as her eyes were so wide it was alarming. It took every ounce of willpower I could muster to hold in the urge to burst out in a hysterical laugh.

Tobias though didn't seem to hide his satisfaction as he had a huge grin on his face when I diverted my attention back to him, his gaze directing mockery as he offered them a glance.

He noticed me staring at him and winked. There was no way I could hide my smile as I beamed at him in return, a feeling that I was not alone anymore and had someone really reliable by my side setting in.

"Now that we have the bride and groom present," Elder Varion the eldest werewolf in the moon pack announced. He was so old that his age showed in every aspect of his existence. 

From his shaky voice to his slouched posture, white grey hair and wrinkled face. From what I had heard, he never came out in the open except for important events like the one taking place, instead if anyone needed him, they went to him.

As the congregation went silent Elder Varion continued, "the wedding shall commence."

^^^^^^^^^

"I see he ended up getting married to you," a voice sneered from behind me and I smiled already recognizing such irritating tone. "How did you do it?"

"Why, wanna try to seduce him too?" I made a 180• twirl to smile with all confidence at a gritting Allison. She made no effort to hide her distaste as her eyes were narrowed into slits and her lips were turned down in a frown.

"Lincoln no longer giving you the attention you want?"

"Oh please," she scoffed with a wave of her palm in my face and I leaned my head backward to prevent me from getting hit by her fingers. "Lincoln is everything I'd ever want."

"Then why curious about me?" I folded my arms, my brown eyes scanning her body language which screamed annoyance from the way she was standing, hand on hip as she stood in a red thin-strapped jumpsuit, her blonde hair falling in waves over her shoulder and back.

"I don't know." She shrugged and tried to act non-chalant, however I saw through her facade she was the very most shocked about how things turned out with Tobias and I. "Just wondering."

"Well keep your wondering to yourself Allison," I mocked and curled my lips in a smile, eyes pointed directly at her face with no hint of fear in them. "And stick your nose out of my business. Or else Lincoln ain't giving you—"

"Why pronouncing such a darned name with those beautiful lips?" The deep voice of Tobias cut me off the same time his hand snaked around my shoulder.

"I don't know, she made me say it," I whined and angled my face to pout at him, playing along with our planned act to rub our wedding and relationship in their faces whenever the need arose.

"You should have just ignored her, dear," he hummed at me, blue eyes gawking at me and before I knew it his mouth touched mine in a kiss which lasted only two seconds.

Just like the kiss we had to seal the wedding, it was chaste but still had my whole body being set on fire by the mere touch. The attraction between us had grown stronger in the past few days and the reason was still unknown.

I wrote it off as the fact he was an attractive man and therefore my deprived feminine hormones were giving in to any little thing he did to me.

As he turned me away from Allison back toward where the elder seemed to be getting ready, it was time for the after wedding reception to be changed into an inauguration.

The thought that I'd be the Luna of the new pack and his mate and wife after everything not scaring me as I thought it would instead what surprised me was the fact I was looking forward to our first night together.
