For The Packs

Aarnas POV; "I know mom I know. I know it's what's best but it doesn't mean I have to like it or be fond of the idea." I look down at the dress gently pulling my hands from her grasp and sigh. "I don't even know him, or anything about him. What if we don't even get along. It's just a lot mom.." I trail off. "I know it is honey but it has to happen Aarna, it's for the safety of us and our packs." She replies picking the white gown off the bed to hang on my closet door motioning for me to lay down. "Tomorrow's the day, Tomorrow you meet him, I think it'll be okay and work out just fine. Now get some sleep it's a big day." I nodded as she turns away to walk out the door closing it behind her leaving me with my thoughts. With the packs, all on the brink of war with territory problems and rouges threatening uniting the two largest and strongest packs is a good idea. I don't like that I'm marrying a man I don't know and isn't my mate when I know my mate is out there but I have to for my pack. I slowly drift to sleep with my thoughts running ramped about tomorrow. The next morning I wake to the sun peeking through my red silk currents just slightly open enough for the smallest silhouette of sunshine. Today is the day I guess, I think to get up from the bed. My mother comes in and smiles at me as I stand in front of my dress. "Oh, my baby's getting married." She sighs happily. "Even if it's arranged and not traditional. You know I hear Enzo is a looker." "Mom he's not my mate and just because I'm marring this man doesn't mean anything." I reply admiring the dress "I will say that I love the idea of wearing this dress." "I'm glad you warming up to the idea a bit. Now remember the wedding is later today so your meeting Enzo today, so your not blind as to who our marrying." She says pulling some nice clothes out of my closet. "So honey wear something nice." and with that, she leaves a couple of nice dresses on my bed and leaves the room. I look at them and decide to wear the red silk form-fitting dress that is my favorite. It shows off my nice form but isn't too short and doesn't show too much. I slip it on and pick out my black heels from the closest shutting the closet door and putting them on as my maid walks in. "Aarna, Enzo is here and awaiting your arrival in the courtyard by the tables, breakfast is laid out for you two to enjoy a small breakfast meal and learn about each other." She says with a smile. "Thank you I will be there shortly. How do I look?" "Wonderful hun wonderful." She replies and walks out of the room. I proceed to walk out of the room slightly nervous about meeting Enzo but who wouldn't be nervous about something like this. I walk down the stairs toward the door, opening it slowly to see a man I believe to be Enzo and a woman sharing a kiss. I sigh and slowly walk out the door making sure to be heard. The woman looks up at me and leaves, and there stands Enzo.
