Edwina
Today is the moon eclipse ceremony. This is my opportunity to leave this place. If I don’t do it now, I don’t think I’ll ever find a chance.
The ceremony used to bring so much joy to my heart. I haven’t attended anything in 5 years but now nothing is exciting about it. Everything that used to bring me joy about the ceremony now brings me sadness.
This was where I first met Edward. I felt for him the moment I saw him.
He had a strong look in his eyes, and it was hard to tell when he was happy or sad, but that didn’t hinder his handsomeness.
I wanted him and, luckily for me, my parents wanted him for me too. I was sad and grumpy because I knew that I was going to Galentia to get betrothed to a man I had never seen before. I hated the idea of using me as an alliance to strengthen Avalor, but I didn’t have a choice.
I was willing to do anything for my parents.
I had never seen this man before; I just knew that he was the current king of Galentia.
I guessed that he was an old and grumpy man. Well, I got the grumpy part right, but old? No.
He was handsome, an eye candy who hardly smiled for reasons that I would love to find out, but I was glad to be his betrothed.
His eyes were fixated on me, although I didn’t know if it was because he liked me or not, but I knew that I did.
After my parents finished discussing this with the queen of Galentia, I couldn’t wait to have him all to myself.
I requested that he take a walk with me, and he did.
He could hardly utter a word and I loved that I had that effect on him.
We walked in silence for a while, and then I took his hands. He looked down at me in surprise, but I smiled.
“Princess Edwina, I… It is nice to meet you, I must say, you caught my attention in the crowd. Since our parents and kingdoms declare us firmly for each other, there is no point in arguing with them because they might be right as your betrothed.
I promise to be your protector and keep you safe at all times. I promise that our alliance will bring…” I didn’t allow him to continue with his right speech, we were in a secluded place in the palace compound, so I gently pushed him against the wall and planted a kiss on his lip.
He was shocked and so was I. I don't know what came over me, but I liked it. I giggled and ran off like a little child.
What do we have to lose anyway? We are already betrothed to be married, and I just wanted to know what my future husband's lips tasted like.
After I ran off, he left him there. We came back to the ceremony and soon it was time for the dance. Some of the dignitaries who attended the ceremony weren’t aware of the arrangement between the king of Galentia and me because it hadn’t been announced yet.
It was to be announced at the dance where the king finally picked me as bride and we danced to till the end of the song.
While at the dance, some other royals from different kingdoms and high social classes approached me for a dance and I took their hand while I watched Edward from afar sit on his throne and stare at me with a look I would call envy since he was so difficult to read, I couldn’t tell, but that is what I choose it to be.
He was jealous while I danced and smiled at others. My eyes were fixated on his. It was like we were speaking other languages but with our eyes only.
Our eyes communicated with each other as the sound of the harp played till he was forced to get up from his royal seat and his legs found their way to me.
As he walked through different couples dancing, everyone bowed their head in fear that they must have trespassed by dancing with his chosen mate, while the other crowd marched as they were shocked that kind Edward was finally going to choose his mate.
I could tell from the way the crowd reacted to him that he was a feared king even though I had only heard of his bat tales and might, I could also see the fear that he eluded with the way he carried himself.
I loved it, I also loved that there was one battle that he couldn’t fight, which was his attraction or feelings for me. Even though we had just met, and we were arranged, there was something more than that.
I felt like we were meant to be because what is this strong air between us that makes us feel like we’re the only one in the room, the only one in the world?
This is fate because I have met a lot of other potential mates who wanted me but all I could hear them say was words but with Edward, I couldn’t hear anything. It feels like a magnet of opposite sides. We keep getting drawn to each other. I want him so bad and I know he feels the same way.
As he walked through the hall, the music grew intense and I would say, my dance partner knew his moves very well.
He held me the right way, his hands a little bit above my waist as I moved to the rut gym of the beautiful music that eludes from the harm and the other instruments playing, I guess that would make any man feel jealous!
Edward moved with intensity as the dance got more intense. It felt like a movie, I felt like he was too far from me and I couldn’t wait for him to get to me
Soon he got to me when I took a spin and he took my hands, my dance partner bowed immediately in reverend while my arm rested on the right shoulder and took all his scent in.
Did it make me wet? I don’t know but he did things to me. All my body and wolf wanted him.
Everyone in the crowd got up to this reveal and gave resounding applause.
The music from the harp changed to a more romantic one and at this time all I could see was us.
Edward wrapped his strong arm around my waist like he owned me and we danced. Every nerve of my body responded to his touch. And my wolf was screaming for him.
We slowly danced under the moonlight and stars and when the moon was full, the other alphas could see their mates clearer. My wolf couldn’t wait to take over and Edwards couldn’t either.
I saw in front of me the wildest and most beautiful wolf ever.
His hair was jet black and all mushy and his face was a mix of a wolf and lion. He had huge and fearful brown eyes which wouldn’t look as cute in anger.
There is no way you wouldn’t pay your respect.
All the other wolves howled at him and he walked around me.
My wolf was excited and nervous at the same time but I told her to be calm and not look too foolish on the day of our marking.
Edward Wolf walked around me, releasing his male energy which weakened me inside, then he came closer licking my face and I went down in submission.
With his paws, he reached out for my neck, then he marked me with his shark claws, which sting but it was a sweet pain to me.
I felt closer to him. I knew that I belonged to him.
After he was done with my marking, the other werewolves proceeded to mark their mate, and in unison, they let out a loud howl that went to the skies and beyond
