Fuck!!
Fuck!!!
Damn this wheelchair, that was when I realized I had a lineup of wolves behind me waiting for my command to attack.
I signaled to the gamma wolf behind me to deal with Benedict, I stood there as he threw repeated punches at him, and I began to wonder who exactly I had become.
“Stop,” I commanded, “We need him alive to perform the ritual.”
The gamma wolf stopped cleaning the blood he had drawn from Benedict on his chest.
“I see you have the weak ones doing your dirty bidding now,” Benedict retorted again, spitting.
Is this guy fucking kidding me? Does he want to die? I asked within myself.
“Shut up,” I said to him and turned to face the gamma wolf, “take him, let’s get going.”
“Yes, let’s get going to annul me from my marriage to that deficient woman, do you know how it sucks not being able to explore having sex in your wolf with your mate? Oh well, you won’t know since you are stuck on that wheelchair___” I knew then I had to tune him out, else I wouldn’t make it to the stream of Luna without tearing him apart with my bear hands.

We got back to the night howlers’ territory in good time and I instructed some of the gamma wolves to take Benedict back to the prison.
I wanted to get dressed for my wedding, once I was able to successfully wheel myself to the room and lock my room door from inside, I stood up, I sighed as I did some air kick with my legs. I despised pretending to be crippled but I need to do it to discover who is loyal to the pack and the realm.
When the sizzlers attacked us, I had discovered a grave number of disloyal wolves, when I was truly crippled from the attack a lot of things changed.
Some of the wolves denounced the pack and swore their allegiance to our rival pack, it was also when I found out about my cheating wife and my unfaithful Beta. I had already started making progress toward recovery then but I pretended as if I was still crippled and watched a countless number of wolves show how dishonest they were.
I was about to reveal the truth in a couple of days about my well-being when Edwina came begging on behalf of her sister and the crazy idea of switching mates and making her my Luna came to my mind, then I also knew I needed to take this act further a little longer. I needed to test her loyalty, could she be loyal to an Alpha she didn’t love who also was in a wheelchair?
I quickly took my shower and wore the orange outfit that was lying on my bed.
I stood before the mirror for a while having at myself, standing and looking so dashingly handsome before I went back to the deceitful life I had formed on that wheelchair.
Then I heard a gentle sound from the door and I quickly sat down on the wheelchair.
“Come in,” I called out, and the door gently opened as Caleb, my dresser, entered the room. He was shocked to see me already dressed. I could see the disbelief in his eyes, I probably should have waited for him to dress me.
“You are already dressed sir,” he said silently.
“It was a whole lot of struggle, but I overcame it,” I replied triumphantly and he smiled, hdiding his surprise.
“Let’s go then, everyone is already seated in the courtroom.”
I wheeled myself from my room which I had them move downstairs for my convenience.
Caleb opened the door to the courtroom for me and I wheeled myself in. Everyone stood up immediately when I reached the front courtroom, I swivelled back so that I could face the entrance.
My hands were trembling, and I tried to hide it, I wasn’t sure this was the best decision but I was going to go through with it. The door gradually opened and everyone stood up again, I almost did too until I recalled that I was supposed to be confined to this God-forsaken wheelchair.
My eyes brightened as I saw Edwina appear in the courtroom, she looked so different, so beautiful, her dress brought out the Luna in her, and as I saw her walking gloriously towards me, beaming with a smile, I don’t know if the smile was fake but it sure does look good on her. She walked majestically like she had been trained all her life for this day, she carried herself as a true Luna should with an accommodating smile and pleasant looks. As she passed by, the wolves in the courtroom bowed to her, signifying their loyalty to her.
Once she approached me as tradition demands, she bowed down to the elders and then turned and bowed to me, Her Alpha.
“My Alpha,” she muttered gently and there were loud howls from the courtroom from all angles, it signified acknowledgement.
“My Luna,” I replied and took her hands, and the howling increased.
The ceremony began.
Edwina’s POV…
The ceremony took way more time than I had anticipated. There were a lot of dipping hands in water and immersing one’s leg in a green slimy-looking sticky substance.
When we were done with the ritual, there was a brief celebration. My heart was in no mood for celebration; I had nothing to celebrate because all I had known to be true about marriage had failed.
I always thought of marrying for love and when I thought I did, my marriage failed, I got a cheating husband and now I am getting married to a man I didn’t love to save my sister and Benedict.
I wondered how he felt when they approached him with the marriage news. Was he angry, or did he feel betrayed?
I don’t know why I should give a fuck or care about how he feels when truly he was the one who broke us, he cheated on me with my sister.
“I have this whole new perspective of the tradition surrounding marriages,” Alpha Xander whispered to me, I don’t know why I was still so formal around him but maybe it’s because this marriage was all about formality.
“What is that, Alpha?” I asked. He was sitting close to me in the reception hall and surrounded by a lot of wolves, some from different packs who had come to witness the glorious event.
It was supposed to be a small wedding with little noise, but when an Alpha is getting married, the whole idea of small is not really feasible.
