Page 8 of Losing My Siren Luna
We both went through great lengths to bring her back.
Now that we have got our second chance, I will not ruin it. She will be showered with my love and admiration from the moment our eyes meet in the ballroom.
I will let myself be enchanted by her beauty, and tonight, I will fulfill the bond.
One of the rules that was set was that I can not reveal that I was the one who brought her back. I can’t say how I know that we are fated mates or let her know the lengths I had to go through to bring her back from the dead. That will not matter, though. She wanted me on our wedding day. I was the one that ruined the special moment we should have had.
I won’t make that mistake again.
“Alpha?” Nilo opened my bedroom door. The omegas making last-minute adjustments to my clothes start working faster to finish. Last time, I did not care how I appeared at the wedding. I just wanted to get it done. This time, I wanted to take her breath away. I want her to be so enamored with me that fulfilling my end of the deal that I struck with her father would only take a day. A single night. Our wedding night is all I will need.
“It’s time, Alpha. Everyone is in place and the officiant has just arrived. I received word that Elelira is ready herself as well.”
“Good, good,” I smiled at my Beta before turning to check my appearance one more time.
Everything is in place. My outfit accentuates my physique, and my face is radiant with the joy I’m feeling, knowing I am about to come face to face with my mate once again. I am being given the chance to do everything right.
“Let’s go,” I told my Beta, waving off the omegas and righting my collar around my neck.
Before, on my wedding day, I wore black to match the mood and my emotions. This time, I had them change my undershirt and my accents to gold, to match the color of her hair, and the rings we will exchange are adorned with green emeralds to match the color of her luminous eyes.
When I told the staff to fetch me a jeweler to purchase the new rings the first moment after waking up, they thought I was mad. I had already had plain gold rings, thin and fragile like our original marriage prepared.
That wouldn’t do.
This was to be forever, and the rings needed to reflect the eternal love I would shower her with from this day forward.
It was expensive, but she is worth it. She will be worth all the treasures in the world, and I plan on giving her it all.
My fingers traced over the box with the rings in my pocket, a smile playing on my lips.
“Are you sure about this, Alpha? I do not trust Wayne, and this seems too forced for a marriage alliance. Are you sure you want to go through with this?” Nilo asked as we walked together towards the ballroom.
“I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life,” I grinned.
He eyed me speculatively. “You sure changed your tune. You were dreading this just yesterday. You told Yasmin not to worry and that you would be back to see her tonight.”
I cringe internally. I forgot about Yasmin.
“Forget about her again. Forget about all of them. You will not be hurting her,”Killian growls at me.
“You have nothing to worry about. I will never lay a finger on another woman again.”
“I know you won’t. I won’t let you,”he snarls.
Like I would ever ruin this chance. It hurts to even think about the day she rejected me, and all the pain and heartache that came after.
I took my place proudly at the front of the hall, Nilo at my side, and we turned to face the doors my bride and mate would soon emerge from.
It is only minutes, but the wait is excruciating. My longing for her is almost too much to bear as the moment of our first meeting draws nearer and nearer.
I breathe deeply, readying my heart for that admiring and awestruck look that will come over her face when she enters through those doors. I plan on pouring every bit of my love into the gaze I return back to her. This is the moment I will remember as the moment our love began.
When the doors finally start to open, my heart starts to beat out of my chest and I forget how to breathe. This is it. This is the beginning of our….
Wait.....
Everyone turned to stare, whispering among themselves, no doubt as amazed at her beauty as I was the first time my eyes met hers.
