I quickly dressed into a silver dress, something I knew Hunter often liked seeing me in. It wouldn’t matter now since he wasn’t home but when I returned I was sure that he would appreciate it. I needed to get him crazy over me again before I ended his life. It would break him in half to know that I had betrayed him and that he’d let go of the woman that actually had strong feelings for him.
After readying, I hurried to make it to the wedding in time. Thankfully I reached there when the ceremony was just about to start.
As I entered the council I was rewarded with the look of surprise on everyone’s faces who knew me. Apparently the word hadn’t spread fast enough around here. now that everyone were seeing me then everyone would surely know by the end of the day that I was back … for good this time.
I could only imagine what they were thinking. I was the woman Hunter had lost his mind over. They would think that I could easily control him now that I was back. That must be embarrassing for Isabella to hear everyone talk about how much Hunter loved me. They would surely say that he let her go after I returned. There was now a look of understanding on many of their eyes. They would realize why Isabella was getting married to someone else after being married to Hunter.
“Are you Hunter’s bride?” Someone asked me. I noticed him as the prosecutor.
“Yes.”
“Well we can’t have you all the way to the back here. Let me get you a seat closer to the front. Hunter is a good friend of ours, I’m sure he would want us to treat you well.”
I smiled. This was exactly what I wanted. I wanted Isabella to see me here. I wanted her to think that Hunter had come with me to watch her marry someone else. I was so excited that I could scream with joy.
I settled to the front and just like I’d hoped, the moment Isabella walked forward her eyes searched the crowd. I already knew that she was looking for Hunter. She stopped walking when her eyes fell on me and I gave her a knowing smile. Her jaw clenched and I could see that she wanted to cry.
She eventually realized that she had to keep walking and she started to again. I studied the new man she was going to marry. He actually wasn’t all that bad looking. Isabella should count herself lucky that they were actually trying to marry her off to someone good looking.
I knew that I was about to enjoy this wedding but things were going a lot better than I’d originally thought it would have been. I couldn’t wait to see what happened next.
……………….
***HUnTER***
I waited for my men to ambush the guards that were blocking the gates. The longer we took, the more difficult it became for me to control my rage. I was growing impatient and I felt like I couldn’t make it to Isabella in time.
“Go.” Bruce shouted at me. “We will take care of everything here.”
I nodded and rushed into the kingdom. I didn’t stop running until I reached the palace. Two guards looked at me but they didn’t try to stop me. I assumed that they thought I’d just come to attend the wedding.
How very wrong of them.
I followed the sounds and shoved the door open to the hall. The same place they’d gotten us married.
All eyes turned to me at the intrusion. But I wasn’t paying attention to any of that. My focus was solely on Isabella and the man that was holding her hands.
And then something exploded inside of me almost like a bomb or a volcano erupting or maybe even both combined. All I knew was that there was this constant singing in my head now- mine, mine, mine!
Oh f**k!
It was her. It was Isabella. She was the reason why I felt nothing towards Maggie again. Isabella was my mate. not Maggie … At least not anymore. Isabella.
A loud possessive growl tore from inside me and shook the entire room. People cowered in fear and some looked like they were ready to bolt. It didn’t take me long to reach Isabella and as soon as I did, I ripped the man away from her and he went flying into the crowd. There were many gasps and screams around us but I was only focused on my woman.
She was looking at me in shock, like she couldn’t believe that I’d actually done that. I dropped to my knees before her, not caring that I was in front of a crowd, not caring that I could be sentenced for ruining a wedding hosted by the council, not caring that I could possibly start a war.
“You asked me something and I have the answer for you. I should have given it to you a lot sooner and for that I’m terribly sorry.” I whispered. I held her h**s gently in my hands and stared into her beautiful eyes. “It’s you. You’re the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. from today onwards it will always be you. I make this promise to you today.”
I lifted myself from the ground and pulled her into my arms. Her teary eyes pulled at my heartstrings and I dipped my head, suddenly overcome by my need to claim her as my own. I needed everyone here to know that this woman was mine.
Isabella gasped as I my teeth elongated and pierced her skin right where I wanted to since the first day my eyes fell on her. I felt myself grow hard and I had to fight to remember that we were in front of a large crowd.
This was it. I was laying claim to her. I was marking her. My sweet Isabella would finally be officially mine.
***ISABELLA***
My eyes were closed and every single part of me clung to Hunter like glue. I felt my body begin to accept him and our joining was so powerful that I’d forgotten about everything and everyone around us. My heart couldn’t stop pounding in my chest and Hunter’s teeth were sinking deeper into my neck. However I felt absolutely no pain, instead it was only pleasure mixed with my need to soak up even more than he had to offer to me. I didn’t understand my body, it always craved Hunter and when it finally had him it always wanted more than he was giving.
At first I couldn’t believe any of this. At first it was a shock to me that Hunter was even here. When Maggie had walked in, I’d looked everywhere for him. It was not easy seeing her in the crowd right in front of me while I was getting married to someone that wasn’t Hunter. It was even more painful to know that she had the man I wanted more than anything. The look she had given me didn’t help to ease that pain, she’d known that I was very unhappy and she wanted to rub that in my face. I was sure that was the reason she’d even come to the wedding. She had wanted to see me miserable and she almost got to see just that. I was on the verge of breaking down when it finally dawned on me that I would eventually belong to someone that I didn’t love.
And then when I thought that my life was over, just when I thought that I would never be happy for the rest of my life; Hunter rushed in and stole the spotlight. He’d brought all of the attention upon himself when he’d attacked Alpha Jerome. He’d done it so perfectly and easily that proved to everyone how powerful he actually was. My mate was so powerful that he’d shaken up the entire council just for me. I’d never seen anyone do something like that before. He was insane to attack them during an occasion like this but it only showed just how much I mattered to him.
I didn’t expect him to come to me. I didn’t expect him to break up this wedding for me. He’d threatened to do so but I’d thought that he’d said those things in the heat of the moment.
And now his mouth was on my neck. His teeth were deep in my skin and my body was tingling everywhere. I felt like I’d just been drugged but this drug was unlike anything anyone had ever possessed, it was the most beautiful feeling in this entire universe and if anyone could feel what I was feeling right now, they would kill for it. I wanted to scream with immeasurable joy. I felt my body glowing from the inside and my hands reached up to Hunter’s head and pulled him tighter against me. I didn’t want this moment to end; in fact I could stay like this forever.
I knew that many eyes were on us but I didn’t care about any of that. All I cared about was the man laying full claim to me.
This was what I’d wanted all along. I’d wanted Hunter to choose me and to do it on his own will. I didn’t want to force him into it; I’d wanted him to know that I was the one he wanted to be with and no one else.
I still felt like this was all a dream and I was scared that I would eventually wake up and the dream would disappear. And then Hunter lifted his head and a loud roar escaped his mouth. no sooner had he made the sound did multiple howls erupt all around the council. I recognized it immediately as his pack celebrating with him, they were accepting me as their Luna and I felt joy at that fact. Hunter’s pack had accepted me as their own and I could see the happiness and pride in his eyes as he gazed at me lovingly.
He gently cupped my cheeks in his hands. In front of everyone he dipped his head and sealed our mating with a deep k**s. I m****d and clung to him as much as I could.
And then there was another loud roar that completely shattered our special moment. Before I even had time to figure out what was happening and who’d just roared; Hunter was rudely shoved away from me.
