Alpha Bride

It is the day, the one I have been dreaming of for my whole life, but it's different. I thought I'd marry for love, but no, I am marrying for convenience. See he is an alpha, from one pack I am an alpha's daughter the pack I'm part of is stronger than others and we have more resources as well, and the pack I am marrying into needs them more and more and the longer we wait for this union the more desperate that they become for us to help them. Well, I look to my unknown bridesmaid, can't keep the groom waiting and it's nearly time to start, so she walks in In front of me and opens the door for me to walk behind her after a good minute's wait, and my father who arranged this wedding stands to the side waiting to walk me down the aisle then my eyes land on the groom he's well kept he's tall and good looking. ' I'd jump that if I was just some woman in a bar.' I think to myself. He smiled as if he heard what I was thinking, he couldn't have. I think to myself, we don't have that bond, yet we haven't even said our vows that I do or anything that comes with that. 'We have had this bond since the first time we landed eyes on each other, who cares about what I do, That is just marital status talk so we know who someone is with and who belongs to whom in a way, that's how I think of it at least. My father and I make it to the front of the church, and he drops my arm and looks to the man who will soon be my husband. as do I, and he looks back at both of us, and I try not to hear the conversation between the two of them. but I hear it without meaning to. 'With this transaction going this way, you will have my pack standing with yours. When you need us, we will be there. We will be there from now till such time we see fit or you no longer need us. whichever comes first 'We thank you, good sir, you have helped us more than you know this union is just the tip of the cake so to speak, and we hope that you are pleased with your bride. She will make a good addition to your life and may she do what you need her to so we thank you again because you have saved me and my pack from the one fight that we could not have won without your help at all.' My father proclaims. Not knowing that I can hear them. But then, he looks to me, the groom does. ' I think we have someone else listening to us and knows more than she should. And well we can not have that. But I can not stop her from knowing more than she should. That is until we say the I do's that is. And before I can stop myself, I open my mouth, and I say. What I am thinking, I an not some peice of property like you may think I am. so, do not treat me as such. Because I am a person, so treat me that way. That is all that I ask of you. I say and surprised that I can hold my anger in as best as I can. Near the end of the ceremony, we are to say our I do's. And I do because I know it will help the pack, both packs on the long run. And I want to help them as much and as best as I can. Because well, I know that and they are family to me and I want to do whatever I can for them in anyway that I can. I do. I say, and then he says the same thing. And then we link arms and walk down from the church. and outside and the ones that attended throw rice at us. And for a moment in time I am happy I forget all that happened all that I heard. But then I remember what it was I heard, and I feel dirty, beyond dirty like I need a hot shower and to washout ny ears and wish that was not married to the alpha of the pack that we need help from. Let's go home, to the home that we share change and then the others will meet us there that want to go to the party. they get into his car and we go the home we share, and on our way there I come up with questions but know better than to ask them. Only because, I do not know my new husband that well, and I do not know what will or will not anger him. And do not want to risk it, to risk him laying hands on me in anyway at all. ' So, seeing as you know about the arrangement your father and I had before the wedding I'm sure it seems like you are viewed as property, but that is not how I see you at all. I see you as a valuable player in this and want you to know that you can come to me for anything you want to do or that needs to be done and I will do what I can for you I will see to it that it is done. you know me or used to, that is and knew how I was when things needed to be done. I used to be the one to count on to get things done'. My new husband says with a slight smile. so I can come to you with anything that the house needs or that I need, and you'll be there every step of the way with me? I ask, and what do you mean I used to know you, that you were the one to get things done. Are you saying that I can count on you in anny situation that comes about? I ask him with a straight face. yes that is what I am saying without saying it out right because I know your smart, smarter than others give you credit for. He says. we pull up to what must be our home, and it's small but homey my kind of house I can make into a home, and we turn to each other for a minute. . . two. . . three. and I recognize him after the few short minutes that we locked eyes, it is Dewayne from when we were children. And, even though it has been years that we have not seen each other he still looks the same, as when we were in junior high tighter. And I find myself thinking not completely to myself if I had to marry anyone, I am happy that it is him, and only him. And with that thought shared between us we walk up the stairs and into the house that we share.
