The Wedding
"There! You're good to go, Luna!" A lady, who introduced herself as Luu, beamed joyfully as she finished fixing me up for the big event later and watched me from the mirror with a big and satisfied grin on her face.
I forced a smile on my face and she giggled before she let go of my shoulders and hopped towards my door.
"I'll go and inform Alpha how lovely the Luna is! I'm sure he'd be delighted." She cheered and raced away.
I turned to my reflection with a sad face and knew in just a few hours there will be no turning back anymore.
You can still walk away from this, Isis.
I heard a voice ring inside my soul and knew it was my wolf that spoke to me. She must really hate it too, I mean we are one and the same so she must be feeling the same way I do.
"If only things were as easy as that Yin." I told her and stared at the unknown stranger looking back at me. "If only I am strong enough to protect everyone on the pack, but I can't. We're powerless against strong and large packs, Yin. This is the only way to guarantee our pack's safety." I murmured.
I faintly heard a click and I knew I wasn't alone on the room anymore. I felt Yin's presence fade and I turned to the person who entered and found Uncle Stan.
"Hello, Uncle Stan." I greeted a little less lively and forced a smile on again.
He looked worried and sad before he strode closer to me and sat in front of me, grabbing hold of me head.
"Oh little girl. Do you really not want to slip out of here? I can help you, you know? Just say." He told me.
I closed my eyes, breathed deep before I smiled at him- a genuine yet sad smile- before I squeezed his hand.
"Thanks for worrying about me, Uncle Stan. You don't know how much I appreciate your presence, but I think this is something I should do after all."
"I guess I'll never change your mind, huh?" He whispered.
"As an Alpha's daughter, there are burdens I must bear and things I must do for the benefit of the pack." I told him and smiled for him. "Don't worry. I think Alpha Loki loves and cherishes me. At least he won't hurt me."
He tried to smile back before he gently stroke my hair.
"Your parents are already here, by the way, and you look very lovely. Now, if you'll excuse me little one. The Alpha's searching for me." He said, bowed formally, and walked out of the room, leaving me to myself once again.
"Well." I started and sighed heavily before snatching a quick glance at the stranger at the mirror before standing up. "Let us go also, Yin."
I told my other self as I watched the people bustling and chattering below. Lots of people were around and I knew that Alpha Loki must've invited everyone from my pack as well.
I am always with you, Isis. Whatever you choose.
I heard Yin's voice before her presence vanished once again and the door opened to reveal a grinning Luu.
"It's time, Luna."
Well, I never noticed how much I dreaded to hear that.
******************
I looked up and thought saw something move from one of the windows. I don't know why but my gaze seemed to be stuck on that particular window. It was weird, yes, but even I don't know why the heck was I so fixated on the window.
"Hey Raven." I heard someone whisper softly. It snapped me out and I whipped my head towards my best friend, Jun.
"Yeah? Any report?" I asked.
"Well they seem to not have recognized us, so no problem on that. Alpha Lo--, I mean Loki is there chatting with others and your fa--, Stan just walked outside. When do we move?"
"I'll give the signal when I see her. For now let everyone have their links open and be alert." I commanded Jun.
"Our links are wide open for you. It's only you who has his block up. What's wrong anyway? Who are you looking for? Is she that important?" Jun asked relentlessly.
"I'll tell you after this. For now, just focus." I, once again, instructed him, nodded my head once and we split ways to avoid suspicion.
Well it was very hard moving in a place where a lot of people might instantly recognize you if you're not careful. This place, after all, is my birthplace.
"Waah~! The Luna is coming out~!" I heard a young girl say that made me snap my head towards the house entrance.
There was a beautiful lady, more beautiful than anyone I've ever seen, walk down the few steps and smiled. Her smile was so beautiful yet heartbreaking. I could see sadness behind her forced smile and see hesitance in her every move.
I found you.
A man took her hand and kissed her forehead- that must have been her father, huh?- before he linked their arms and started to guide her down the aisle with a woman, whom I suppose is her mother. I was so entranced with her beauty that I almost forgot just why I was there.
I brought down my block and instructed everyone on what to do. It was now or never after all.
You really plan to do this, don't you Raven?
I heard my wolf speak to me. Well, I guess he's just as excited as I am based on the way how his voice trembled when he spoke. No, it wasn't because he was terrified, well maybe we are but still we are too excited to exact revenge and conquer the territory that we have forgotten what we were terrified about. For my case, well it's because of the beautiful girl that I just can't seem to keep out of my sight that must be giving me strength.
Would you look at that? Did you fall for Loki's bride, brat?
Shut up, Yang. There's just something weird about her that makes me restless. I need to know what that is. I can't be bothered by something like love now that I am standing on the door of my revenge.
Suit yourself, brat. Though you are true about the mysterious air around the miss. However, you'll need to focus on beating Loki first Raven if you want your revenge.
I knew that. Even if Yang did not remind me, I knew I had to focus on beating Loki. I need to save the pack from his tyranny. I need to have that woman.
I was too preoccupied with my conversation with Yang that I did not notice the Vicar's words till her voice rang like a sweet little bell in my ears.
"Um.. I.. Uhh.." she muttered softly, looking over to her side as if searching for someone.
I chose that exact moment to give my signal and let out a sharp whistle that attracted everyone's attention to me as I stood on the center of the red aisle before I threw my disguise, revealing myself.
I heard everyone gasp as murmurs started to fill the place. Even though it was a garden wedding and no walls were caging everyone, their voices still reached me even without the help of echoes.
"Ra-Raven?" I heard my father call my name.
"You?! Why are you here? Is banishing you not enough? Should I have you killed then?!" Alpha Loki bellowed angrily that I couldn't help but chuckle. Boy, I sure did piss him off, huh?
"Why, all I wanted was to attend my dear Alpha's wedding. Is that wrong? After all, I am still a part of the family, right?" I said with a snicker before I strode along the aisle slowly. "Also, I know you wouldn't want to dye your wedding with the lovely shade of crimson, right? After all, the lady beside you for sure would not want that."
"What do you want boy? Why are you here?" Alpha Loki asked with a growl.
"If you ask me that, I simply want everything here. Of course, that includes my family, the pack, the territory, and especially that beautiful lady." I answered with a smirk. "Would you allow me to have them all? Uncle Loki?"
"Uncle??" I heard her whisper and oh my saints, she sounded so wonderful.
"Are you out of your mind boy? You are no longer part of the pack. You no longer have a family here! So get lost before I have you dealt with."
"I knew you would not give them easily but that's fine, I'll just have to take it from you with pure force." I said and whistling again before I charged towards him.
Now, shall we start the beginning of your end, dear Uncle Loki?
