Chapter 124
THE WEDDING
FIRA’S POV
“I, Alpha Janus, take you, Fira Aiker, to be my wife and Luna.” I could see the overflowing happiness in Janus’ eyes while announcing the groom’s speech. “I promise to be true to you in good and in bad times, at all times, in sickness and in health. I will always love you and cherish you for the rest of my life.” He put the ring on my finger.
I was tearing apart. I was sobbing, not because I liked what was happening, but because I had no choice. When I stared at my father’s face, I could not take the overloading gladness that was written on his expression.
They gave me another ring. I viewed the Janus.
How can I ruin the day? Everyone was celebrating joy!
I gazed around. I was looking for Pyro. I was pleading that he came! He would save me from this. He would get me.
Because he loves me, isn’t he? He loves me. He said that! But why is he not here! Why is he not fighting for me! For us! For our baby!
“Fira?”
I came back to my senses when I heard Janus calling me so many times. “Sorry.” I blinked my eyes. I started to put the ring on his finger.
“I, Fira Aiker, take you, Alpha Janus, to be my husband and Alpha.” I was managing to continue what I was saying when in fact, it was difficult. My cry was extreme. My chest was choking.
“I promise to be true to you? My sob became louder as I saw Pyro’s face. He was smiling at me. We were holding hands. We were so in love, but when I looked up. It was not Pyro. He abandoned me.
“In good and in bad times. In sickness and in health. I will? I stopped when I read the word ‘love.’
Love? Pyro is my only man. Am I his only woman?
However, if I accept this marriage. Janus should be my priority at all times.
My eyes went to my father. He nodded as giving me permission. “I will love you and adore you for the rest of my life.” I slowly put the ring on his finger.
The priest announced the husband and wife and then kissed the bride. Janus held my cheek and slammed our lips together. I felt that my insanity would go away.
I am married to the man I did not love.
“Long live the Alpha and Luna!” Everyone had the same lines while raising their arms, shouting in happiness.
I had no energy. I was just trying to give my full teeth a smile even though I did not want to. Janus was holding my back while raising his arm to them. He gave me a kiss on the cheek. “I love you, Fira.”
I stretched my lips into a false smile. I could not respond to his words. Good thing, he did not demand for a response when the ministers went to him to congratulate him.
I held his arm when I saw my vision was spinning. I was covering my mouth to avoid vomiting. It was difficult to deal with my pregnancy.
When the people were dancing at night, I was just silent at the side, holding my belly. I felt so bad.
“My Luna, let’s dance.” I could smell the alcohol in Janus’ mouth.
I managed to stand up and held his hand. He brought me in the middle of the circle, showed me how the Red Moon Pack’s dance. By watching him, it made me truly smile. He did not know how to sway.
Eventually, I caught myself laughing. I was imitating the dance. Although some of the time, my head was rotating, I was just holding Janus’ hand to support myself.
My laugh filled the place when I moved my hips the same as him. I was a bad dancer. It was funny that I was doing this.
“Everyone!” Suddenly, Janus grabbed the attention of all. The music turned off. All were looking at him. “I’m glad to announce that I think Fira is pregnant!”
The color in my face faded. I did not tell him about this. I was hiding from him because he might know that it was not him since he just took me one night.
The scream of the Pack’s was becoming loud, congratulating us with their wide smile. I held my forehead. I was about to drop when I felt the uncontrollable shaking of my vision.
“Fira, you, okay?” Janus held my hips. He supported me to walk. “Sorry, she needs rest.” She shook the hands of other visitors who just came by at the time. “Enjoy, apology, Fira needs to sleep early. She’s not feeling well.” Janus laughed. The joy was written on his face. “She’s pregnant. I can’t stress her out.”
I just gave them a small smile. “I’ll go to the house,” I whispered when he was stranded in the presence of royals from different kingdoms.
Every step I took, there were people greeting me so I had no choice, but to respond to them. They also gave me a gift such as a bag of coins, a dress or whatever.
I looked around. I saw Eira. She was talking to some of the Omega from the Elemental Kingdom. I looked for Cass, but she was not here. I told Janus to give her an invitation.
Sadly, she could not come.
I walked again. Luckily, I was feeling a bit okay. Dad walked closer to me and hugged me so tight
“I’m so happy for you.”
“Thank you, Dad.”
“My present for you! Tada!” He gave me a small necklace. I was chuckling when he put it on my neck.
I held the half moon pendant. “Thank you so much, Dad! You’re the best!”
In an instant, my vision rotated again. My belly was spinning that was why I said my farewell to him. I did not want him to worry so I walked alone. The house was just a step closer though.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
I asked for water before I finally stepped to our place. I was drinking the liquid when I saw a pair of shoes stopped in front of me. When I looked up, the glass slipped from my hand.
Pyro?
