TWO YEARS LATER
[Arya's room]
"Don't tell me your still thinking bout that jerk, get over it already" ruby yells shaking Arya bringing her out of her transe
"As much as I hate agreeing with ruby, she is right you need to forget about him, it's been two years already dear, you are about to get married to the crowned prince of crescent, you have to move on" Lori, Arya's maid says as she lifts Arya's chin up and shows her her reflection in the vanity mirror
" This reflection shows a beautiful, strong, amazing girl who is about to embark on a new journey of her life and I know you're gonna do great" she smiles and hugs her from behind forcing arya to give a light smile
"Thanks guys"Arya says as she drags ruby to the hug
"Now let me continue your hair" Lori says picking herself up as she looks away trying to hide the fact that she was tearing up.
Lori had always been like a mother figure to Arya, from the moment she started working in the palace and she set her eyes on Arya she felt a sense of connection to the little shit and she always felt bad for her because of how badly she was treated by her own family
"Aww Lori don't tell me you are crying" Arya said with a slight chuckle
"Lori, you are too soft, why would you cry" ruby said obviously trying to hide her own sobs with humour
Ruby had made always development a care free persona around her, she was always the cute carefree one in the group and she always tried to hide her sadness and devoted her time to cheering people up so it was really shocking to Lori and Arya that she was also crying
"You guys are babies, I'm getting married I'm not dying" Arya chuckled
"I know but we might never see you again" Lori said crying even more
"That's why we have phones we'll get to talk every day don't worry"Arya says squeezing Lori's hand
"Yeah Lori, don't start crying, you'll make me cry then I'll ruin my mascara" ruby says as she helps Lori wipe her tears and they start fixing Arya's hair
Arya could help but hold back tears herself she couldn't help recalling the first day she met her best friends, Lori was like the mother she never had, she remembered every bruise Lori helped her treat whenever her dreadful step sisters abused her, how she consoled her when Bradley broke her emotionally, and the fact that she had gone through the same thing as her which made her easier to relate with, she could believe anyone could reject a goddess like Lori
Lori was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen, her luscious blonde hair, her icy blue eyes, her amazing figure, it was enough to drive any man mad even though she was a mature wolf no one would ever guess she was over 27 in human age the only thing that gave her away was the little stress bags under her eyes, Arya vowed to find the jerk who broke her heart hand make him pay with his life
And Ruby, Ruby was like the little sister she always wanted, she would never forget the day ruby first entered the castle, she was like a lost puppy in the minst of wolves, literally, she was always bullied by the other maids for being just a lowly fox, and when Arya took pity on her one day and gave her, her food when the other maids threw hers out she stuck to Arya like glue, which irritated arya at first but who could ever resist those cute green eyes, and that fluffy red hair, Arya later just had to accept the fact that she would have to deal with ruby forever
"Done" Lori says putting the last pin in Arya's hair
"Wow for once in your life you look presentable" ruby joked tapping Arya's shoulder
As much as Arya wanted to roll her eyes at rubies snide comment she couldn't help but admire her self in the mirror
She had never thought as she could be this beautiful in her life, her messy brown hair packed in a beautiful English bun with some stones on the edges, and the light make up was exactly how she envisioned
"Wow, this looks amazing"Arya says gently brushing her hair with her fingers
"No it doesn't look beautiful" Lori corrected "you look beautiful, it's just complimenting your beauty"
"Would you guys stop chattering, or should we get Arya in her gown, I'm starving" ruby says rolling her eyes.
[Crescent\main hall]
"Do I have to marry her" prince kolvo complains as he fixes his tie
"It's not necessary, but it's the right thing to do, the both of you need to produce a child, the balance of our world hangs on your shoulders" king Asta replies pouring himself a glass of whiskey
"I know father but you know we don't have to get married to have a child right" kolvo argued
"Yes, I know but it's not proper for the future emperor of the wolf tribes to be an illegitimate"
"But his mother is" kolvo clapped back
"She is not gonna be his mother, she will just be the woman you married and the person who carried you child, look all you have to do is wed, her bed her, have a child with her then you can dispose of her as you choose" king Asta explained handing kolvo a glass of whiskey which kolvo just gulped without saying a word
"Please just be there, son, I'm going on the plane now, are you sure you don't want to follow us" Asta asks placing his hand on his sons shoulder
"Yeah, you know I don't do planes,have a safe trip" kolvo says and gulps the rest of his whiskey as Asta shuts the door slamming his glass on the door after his dad leaves.
