The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 156 – ~Tamia~

I was emotional and held my tears. Sitting on the throne with Sylvester felt good, and I could not believe we had finally tied the knot.

He held my hand and squeezed lightly. I looked at his hand, it looked protective, and mine was small in it. I looked at him, and he looked at me and smiled.

“I can’t wait to claim you,” he teased, and I knew I was blushing.

I did not know why, but what he said made me shy and giddy simultaneously.

Fifteen minutes after we had sat on the throne, Marcel, Theodore and Dominic walked in.

They wore decorated tailcoats like Sylvester, but it wasn’t as decorated as Sylvester’s. They stood beside each other.

Marcel stood close to the officiator, Theodore stood beside him, and Dominic stood beside Theodore. David, Leo and Devin remained the best men at the wedding.

I do not know what happened, but Vino left where he was sitting and went to stand next to David.

I figured David must have told him to join them. I noticed he was happy and knew fitting in with his brothers would not be an issue.

Soon the music began, and the brides entered.

They did not have veils covering their faces, so that part was just for me. Avery was in front, and I figured Linda would be behind her and then Katya in that order.

They walked in slowly, and everyone stood up to respect them. They walked, and Avery looked at me on the throne and smiled.

“I am sorry I missed your wedding, Tamia, but we were not allowed to come here,” She linked me.

“It’s okay,” I linked her back with a smile, and she smiled.

Her dress was exquisite. It was a lace ball gown wedding dress with a high-impact bodice and shimmery embellishments. It was the tone of Ivory’s blush, and Avery looked beautiful in it.

Linda’s dress was beautiful too. It was like mine, an Empire waist gown. It was cliched under the bust. She looked beautiful, and the smile on her face said it all. Katya’s dress was a mermaid fit. She was a beautiful woman, and Dominic had chosen well.

They stood in the same order as their mates and faced them.

I watched the wedding as the officiator went through the ceremony as he should.

He recited the necessary lines and prayed that the moon blessed their union and allowed their bond to be successful and flourish.

It was a bit different from ours because they did not have to make vows to the people and their office, but it was beautiful nonetheless.

Marcel and Avery were the first to share their vows, followed by Theodore and Linda, Dominic and Katya.

When they kissed, people stood up and cheered.

As much as I wanted to do the same, I had to respect my new office, so I remained seated and clapped. While clapping, I looked out the window, and it was dark. It would soon be time for the wolf claiming.

Sylvester and I were the first to leave the hall, followed by the newlyweds.

We were separated when Sylvester and I stepped out of the hall.

“This way, your majesty,” Elisabeth said while bowing her head.

I looked at Sylvester, not wanting to be separated from him, and he smiled and nodded.

“It is just for tonight,” he teased me, and I followed the woman.

We returned to the room I had used to dress up for my wedding. I was eager to get this over with.

“You will be wearing this for your reception, your majesty,” The woman said, taking out a beautiful white gown and placing it on the bed.
