Chapter 59 : Wedding Jitters

*Lena*

Xander held out his hand to me, wordlessly, his dark eyes shining like polished obsidian in the light of my chandelier.

I didn’t question why he was here, in my room. The ribbon around my heart was tight, straining against every beat as I slowly placed my hand in his and let him guide me into the hallway. He didn’t take his eyes off me. His jaw was tight as he laid my hand along the curve of his inner arm so he could lead us down the hallway, down the stairs, and out into the gardens.

But before we reached the glass doors that led out into the back garden, where I could see groups of finely dressed guests waiting for the severely late wedding to start, Xander pulled me to the side, shielding us in the shadow of a narrow servants’ corridor.

“What–”

“I am sorry,” he said urgently, taking my hands in his.

“You’ve already apologized,” I said, tilting my chin toward him.

“You haven’t accepted–”

“I accept your apology. Better?”

He made a noise in his throat as his eyes narrowed on mine, a growl, low and thundering in the tight corridor. I ran my tongue along the inside of my lower lip, heat rising in my cheeks.

“Well then. My mark on your chest is on full display. Are you showing it off?”

“I don’t have much choice–”

“And what does that mean, for us, for your family? What will they think?”

“I told my mom we ended things–”

“But did we really?”

“Don’t gaslight me, Xander–”

“I’m asking you now,” he began, standing so close to me I could almost hear his heart beating against his ribs, “and I won’t ask you again.”

“Asking me what? You haven’t asked me anything–”

“I want you, Princess Selene of Valoria. I want you by my side–”

“Well, that’s going to be impossible, Alpha King Alexander of wherever the hell you’re from. I’m being sent to Winter Forest after the wedding, thanks to you. I have to begin my training.”

“Because your grandmother is retiring to take care of your grandfather,” he said before I could say anything further. “Your grandfather told me.”

“You talked to him?” I gasped, and he nodded, then rolled his eyes as I opened my mouth to argue.

“I told him about Crimson Creek. I left you out of the conversation. I didn’t even mention you were there.”

“You told him–”

“Of course I did. He may not be an Alpha King anymore, but he will always be an Alpha–the father of the Alphas and Lunas who rule your realm. He needed to know what we’re up against.”

“I don’t even know what we’re up against, remember? You haven’t told me anything!”

“I will,” he breathed, “I promise you–”

“Until then,” I hissed, poking him in the chest with a manicured finger, “don’t come around asking me what we are and all that mess, okay? I already told you this was impossible–”
