Chapter 119
Aurora:
“I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride.” Ivan didn’t waste a second before his lips were already on Natalia’s. Both their eyes were closed, and the crowd cheered. I looked at Dimitri who smiled and nodded before the two of us took a step back, knowing that the night was just getting started.
Thankfully, things were passing without much of a fuss now, but that didn’t mean that I wasn’t aware that the little human was opting for not only Charlotte’s head now, but even mine. And though I didn’t pay any mind to it, I knew that playing the game on Luka was not the wisest of moves.
The man was known throughout the country and continent. Most feared dealing with him. and the number of men who refused to give their daughters to him were countless. No Alpha wanted to risk his daughter’s safety, but I knew that Charlotte’s father didn’t care about her to keep in mind that she was to be sent to her death by him. Then again, I shouldn’t have expected any less from a man like himself at this point.
“Are you okay?” Dimitri asked, and I nodded. He kissed my temple, thankful for the first step that went even better than we opted or it to go.
“And you?” I asked when he pulled away. “You look troubled.”
“Do you think that she would be choosing our side in the end?” He asked, and I shook my head in question.
“I don’t see a reason why not, not now when she is under the risk of losing more than she should be able to afford. And believe me, her step mother is not going to think twice about hurting her and that is something that even she isn’t foolish enough to try and risk.” I said, and Dimitri nodded in understanding. And though, one small part
doubted what I said, I knew Charlotte enough to know that she was dead scared from the man that was supposed to be her one savior. When it was my parents, I always knew that I was adopted.. But he was her biological father, at least, that is what we all knew of the fact.
of me,
“Something doesn’t feel too right, and with Charlotte and Luka now away from the guests, I am curious as to where things would lead. While Ademide might end up getting her revenge somehow, something tells me that we are not going to be too far from Luka’s rage

either.” He said, looking around the crowd. I frowned when I noticed that Alaria’s smile couldn’t have been brighter, and he was right, Charlotte was no where to be seen and neither was Luka.
“Do you think that Charlotte was playing us?” I asked, voicing out my concern. If that was the case, then we were in for more hell than we could handle, and I knew for fact that the woman was mad enough to try and do so. “I don’t mean to sound like I am being pessimistic, but what if…?”
“Charlotte wouldn’t play with her life unless she was under threat, and if she was, then that means that we are all in deeper shit than we should be able to handle.” Dimitri said,
looking at Ademide whose eyes met his. She smiled at him, and I watched as she walked toward us. Her eyes met mine for a second before she looked at Dimitri.
“Fine woman that you have here, Dimitri. She really did manage to stir the council, and I have to admit, both her and Charlotte managed to do what I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own. You know, that was to prove a point that Charlotte was innocent of the small rumor that you two managed to throw in front of the elder. And as you may know, your elders do not like to have themselves accused of vile insults…”
“What are you talking about?” I asked, glaring at the woman. She laughed and shook her head before looking at Dimitri. Both their eyes met and I could see the anger in my mate’s darkening gaze.
“By the order of the council and elders, Charlotte is to marry Luka. Their mating and marriage would legitimize his position as Alpha whether or not they have a son, and you can guess who is making it legitimate.” She said, smiling at the two of us before turning to leave. “I have to thank the two of you for what you did. I know that it might have been a little setback for whatever you might have planned, but then again, I doubt that you would. have done yourselves any good. Had that been the case, I think that you, Aurora, would have been in a better place now, do you not agree?”
I had to fight back the low growl that almost rumbled from me, knowing that there were humans around and those that didn’t know of wolves. “But now you can rest. As you may know, with Charlotte out of your way, Dimitri is all yours….”
“We need to stop this mating ceremony,” I said, looking at Dimitri whose eyes met mine. He wrapped his arm around my waist, his eyes meeting mine before he nodded.
“Already a step ahead of you,” he said, looking at Ivan whose eyes were fixed on us. Both he

and Natalia shared a glance and I could see his message in his eyes before he walked toward
Us.
“What’s going on?” Ivan asked, “and don’t you two dare say nothing. I would be having both your heads if you do.”
“Charlotte is being sent a bride to Luka. Order of Elder Jordan,” Dimitri said, and I pinched the bridge of my nose. It was not the time for this to be spoken of, and I knew that the mant should have been getting ready to go and enjoy himself with his wife.
“What?” Ivan asked, his eyes widening in surprise. “When?”
“Now,” I said, shaking my head. “Go to Natalia, we will manage things…”
“You are not kidding me right now, are you?” He asked, stopping me.
“Your bride…”
“She knows that something is wrong and I think that she is not blind.” Ivan said, looking at Natalia who nodded. He turned his gaze to Dimitri who seemed to be at a complete loss, and though I didn’t know whether or not he was lost in his thoughts because of the setback or the idea of Charlotte being with another man, I knew not to care. At this point, we had more things to tend to, and the last thing that I was going to put in was jealousy.
“Do you know where they are?” Ivan asked, noticing that Dimitri was elsewhere. He looked at me for a second, and I could see the apologetic gaze in the beta’s eyes.
“They were just here and I can assume that they are not far. We’ll just have to follow their scent.” I said, choosing to respond seeing as my mate didn’t.
“Well, then,” he said, looking at me as Dimitri snapped out of whatever he was thinking.
“They’re in the back garden. I can hear them talking back there and the Elder is still there with them.” He said, and Ivan nodded.
“Come on, let’s go and stop this eloping stupidity before it leads us to more hell than we can handle. Then we can proceed to coming back to our wedding. You know, it is about time that I changed from this suit, don’t you agree, Alpha…?”
