“How am I looking?” River asked Lena, as she glanced at herself nervously in the mirror. She was wearing a ***bridal dress with a short veil.

“Beautiful!” Lena exclaimed. “I think you look like stars and moon and a little bit of sunshine added to it!”

River giggled. “You are biased!”

“No, she isn’t!” said Clara as Sarah pinned her veil. Sarah had this wedding dress readymade in her boutique. After a few adjustments yesterday after a quick trial, she tailored it perfectly for River. “You look so beautiful River that if I were a man, I would have run away with you!”

River burst out laughing. “And then your husband would have come after mel

“Meh!” Clara said as she arranged the bouquet of ***roses, peonies and lilies for her. She handed the bouquet to her and then slipped her veil over her face. “Do you know how proud we are of you and Alpha Hunter? Every pack member is proud to be associated with Aloha Hunter. When you announced that you are Alpha Hunter’s mate, we were all amazed and then thanked the Moon Goddess that our Alpha has someone like him as her mate.”

“Oh Claraaaa…” River said with emotions choking her. “You are all such a lovely pack.”

Sarah and Lena also came to her side and hugged her. Lena’s mother entered the room and chided them. “Girls, hurry up! How long will Alpha Hunter wait?” River giggled as a blush rose to her cheeks. Lena’s father, Jack, was giving away the bride. “Jack is waiting!”

Lena leaned closer to her and whispered, “It seems Hunter is unable to stay without you. Poor Lycan. He was away from you for a day!”

River giggled, feeling giddy. Ever since yesterday, the two were not allowed to meet on the pretext that it was not lucky for the bride and groom to meet before marriage.

After a few last-minute adjustments, Clara and Sarah let her go. Jack was waiting out of the room. When he saw her, his eyes were filled with affection. “Come girl,” he said. “Your groom is waiting and if we are a minute late, I think he will get the Shaman here for the wedding!”

As River shook her head, the rest all started laughing.

They all reached the steps of the temple. River clutched her gown with one hand and held Jack’s hand tightly with the other. Although she was mated to him and bore his mark, this wedding still made her feel giddy. It was important for her pack members because it instilled confidence in them that their Alpha was mated and wedded. And it was very important for her. Now there was no looking back.

When she reached the sanctum of the temple, through her veil, she saw Hunter. He was looking… mesmerizing. He donned a huge smile the moment he saw her. She walked with Jack and when they reached the dais where he was waiting, he helped her stand on it and walked to join the rest of the guests.

Hunter took a ragged breath as he caught hold of her hands and their gazes locked. “I was dying to see you,” he said with a shaky breath.

“Me too…” she replied.

“Ahem!” the Shaman coughed. “Can we start?” he said, pulling them both out.

Hunter grinned. “Please make it fast!”

The crowd stifled a laugh because they didn’t want to annoy Alpha Hunter.

The Shaman proceeded with the wedding. He took the sacred knife of the Moon Goddess. After chanting ancient incantations, he asked them to give their palms. He sliced their palms in the center and asked them to join their hands. As soon as they joined their hands, blood that had trickled out, lifted in the air and turned into red mist. It circled around their hands and was absorbed by their skins. There was an audible gasp in the audience.

“These two mates, said the Shaman, “are chosen by the Moon Goddess. There is no denying it!” Holding their joined hands he lifted them higher. “Crescent Moon pack members, I present to you the Alpha Hunter and Alpha River!” There was a huge applause and excited cheers in the audience.

The Shaman lowered their hands and added, “I leave the decision on you as to who would you want to be the Luna of the pack, River or Hunter”

The audience once again burst out laughing with most of them saying that they would love to see Alpha Hunter as their

Luna

“You may kiss the bride, Shaman said with a grin.

Hunter lifted her veil and pressed a kiss on her lips.

The ceremony ended with a great feast hosted by Hunter and River. The pack members congratulated both of them, but a big question hung in the air. Where will River go? Would she stay here or go back to the Dark Moon pack.

At the end of it, when everyone was about to call it a night, Hunter announced, “Both River and I have decided that we will be relocating the Crescent Moon pack near the Dark Moon pack. It will take a lot of time… probably a year… but it is going to be the best for the pack members of both the packs. If anyone has any problem with this decision, they can raise their hands.”

But there was silence in the crowd. Who wouldn’t want to go next to the Dark Moon pack which was supposed to be the richest? No one raised an objection. In their hearts, they all wanted to be associated with Alpha Hunter and his protection was going to be amazing. At the same time, they didn’t want River to give up on their pack as their Alpha and so two problems would be solved easily.

When he saw that no one protested, he continued, “Once we see the place that would be suitable for the pack members to move, we will invite them to choose locations for their homes. My construction company will get into action and will develop the whole township for you.”

There was a ***of excitement. The pack members were so tired of staying debt ridden for many years that the change was like a fresh breath of air.

Once again, all the pack members congratulated the couple and then the two went to the hotel room where Hunter was staying. For River, going to the manor that Maxim once owned, never fructified.

They were both standing in the balcony of the room, watching the full moon. She was wearing his shirt while he was in his boxers.

He had pressed her back against his chest, curling his arms across her shoulders. He rested his chin on her head and sighed. “I had waited for this moment for ages, River.”

She kissed him on his arm and leaned her head on his chest. “I never thought we would see this night.”

He kissed the crown of her head. “Yet, here we are. I love you, wife.”

She turned her face up and murmured, “I love you too, husband.”

Before she knew what was happening, he lifted her up and brought her back to the bed. He crawled over her as she pressed her hands over his chest. He positioned his erection at her entrance.

“Do you know that I love to come home after the whole day’s work?”

She nodded, “I know.”

And Hunter entered her, driving home.
