Sinful Love

CHAPTER 65

8 months later...

A white jeep is cruising leisurely, bumping through a dirt road, lined both sides by thick forest. A few human workers and a heavy auger machine hustling at the starting point of the road. Orion's eye inspected the poles and wires lied in roles by the roadside. A lot has changed since the last time he had been to Mountain Manuka. A bumpy ride towards the mountain valley is now smoother, thanks to Selena who had initiated the idea of clearing trees and making a leveled dirt road so that pack members could travel faster in and out of the mountain. It has also opened the gate to civilized development, beginning with electricity supply. Soon, telephone lines and the internet would also be installed. This is the second time Orion riding into Mountain Manuka. He arrived at the brick house and the first thing he sees is Selena's friend and her brother, Aaron.

This is the second time they have gathered at the Mountain Manuka. Orion came exactly 12days after Selena had left him in charge of Samrat Kingdom, for their wedding, a day before the full moon. Zaden had decided to get legally wed, since he wants all his properties and funds to be accessible to Selena, just in case something happens to him. Challenging Epsilon had really opened his eyes in more than one way.

A simple wedding by Lake Khalifa, where most of their lovable memories took place, where Selena conceived their baby. Grasses were trimmed short on that day. A line of wooden handrails installed, all the way from a series of white wooden dividers, forming a compartment for the bride till the end of Lake Khalifa, where a flower arch, entwined with white roses from end to end. A chiffon silhouette fringed the floral arch, extending down to the handrail, curving their way to the bride's compartment at the end. Wooden benches lined in a perfect manner on both sides of the handrail, followed by a line of lanterns on one side and blocks of candles next to the aisle, providing subtle flicker of light on the sunset evening. It also kept Makeala edgy with continuous worry that something is going to set on fire. In the mid of the handrail, as aisle, planks of woods lined up for the convenience of the bride, drizzled with white rose petals. The horizon was especially beautiful, with orangy yellow ombre painted across the horizon of mountain peaks, spreading serenity down the hill, across the water body to the gathered werewolves and humans. Zaden had trimmed his beard a little bit closer than usual, his mustache slimmer than usual. He couldn't bring himself to a clean shave as it may look weird. He stood there by the floral arch, in a fresh, crisp slim-cut tuxedo, black coat with white inners shirt, completed with a bow, looking exceptionally dashing. He kept glancing at his Tag Heuer wristwatch, face filled with tension even though the bride is not late.

“Relax man...” Orion nudged him from the sides. His best man isn't looking bad himself. Zaden glared at him

“I did all the arrangements. Do you think she would like it?” He asked low at Orion.

“I think she would be more focused on you rather than the decorations, Zaden” Orion raised his eyebrows.

“Just don't get cold feet, because if you don't marry her, there is a lot of man here who would” Xavier from between Zaden and Orion, earning a kick on his foot from Orion. He pursed his lips tight to restrain his screaming pain.

“What??? Are you planning to hi-jack her or something?” Zaden asked him with a frown and he started stammering when the guitar strung a sweet tune, Let Her Go by Passenger, chosen by Grandpa Kai after much debate. Everyone's attention panned to the entryway. There she stood. A white lace wedding dress with a plunging A-neckline that stops at her mid-chest and the bottom extends all the way down in a slim cut. A skin-toned fabric lined the back of white lace flowers, making them pop against her skin. Another layer of white chiffon flare skirt with a delicate lace belt hangs from her waist down into a long trail behind her. The whole dress fits her perfectly as it hangs by a strap on her shoulders. Her hair hasn't changed much, just the curls are more prominent, bouncy and with a side partition. Strands from her hairline rolled to join at her the back of her head and a few baby breath tastefully decorates those rolls. A simple rose gold eyeshadow making her grey eye seemed rounder and popped. Her lips with light pink matte lipstick and blushing peach blush. A gentle smile and a pair of twinkling eyes complete the look. Holding a bouquet of white roses and baby breath in one hand and her other hand grasping tights on her father's arms, as if her life depends on it. She is obviously tensed, indicated by the notch on her throat and trembling breath. She walked down the path.

“There is my angel” Zaden mumbled to himself but Orion, Sitka and Xavier heard him too. His eyes widened slightly, frozen at her. His heart skipped a beat when he first laid his eyes on his bride. A soft smile on his lips, like a twitch and twinkle in his eyes indicates how amused he is. A priceless reaction that can never be erased from memory and Selena didn't waste an ounce of it, observing his every single gesture. She finally came to the end of her journey and Leonardo let her hand go, leaned down to kiss his daughter's forehead before handing her hands to Zaden.

“Yours to love, Alpha Zaden...” he said and when Zaden took her hand, he stepped to the side with glistening eyes. Zaden was sure he felt a tremble from her fingers. He reached her knuckles with his thumb and caressed them gently and she bit her lower lips before letting a heart-stealing smile. Orion bit his lips hard, exerting self-control as he turned his head away from them.
