Howling Hearts

I stood at the all too familiar pack doors that closed off the view. I took a deep breath as the doors opened.

A wild bouquet of flowers that evoked the rugged California landscape of the packs wildlife that had a mix of beautiful white flowers and dandelions.

It matched so perfectly since all of this started with a wish. I no longer felt guilty about wishing Asher to be mine. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have run away and I wouldn't have met Lucian.

I shook my head, getting rid of the thoughts of what might have happened if things didn't go like this. I then looked forward and saw a tunnel of silk leading the way whilst covering me from the eyes of my mate and the pack. I took one step forward and started walking.

When I turned the corner, I was met with such beauty my eyes couldn't believe it a white wisteria garland stood in front of me.

I walked through and was met by those same flowers hanging from what seemed to be the air, causing a mystical and magical feeling.

When my eyes met Lucian, his smile was brighter than ever. I couldn't help but smile back with the same brightness. He mouthed wow and shook his head slightly in total disbelief.

He wore a beautiful satin silver suit that was tailored to make him look absolutely gorgeous. He had a pair of dark brown shoes and a tie that matched it.

His hair was still tousled back in that I**t worthy manner that made me want to comb my finger through it before grabbing hold of it.

Everyone stood as I passed their row but my eyes were glued on the man that was about to be mine for all eternity. When I came closer to him, he stepped down the white steps and held his hand out towards me.

I took it and he kissed the top of my hand whilst looking right into my eyes. Those all too familiar lightning strikes flew through me. He led me up the few stairs and we stood beside each other.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

The elders lined across the stage, all standing next to one another, with the oldest and wisest standing in the middle with the book containing the vows that we will be completing today.

I held both of his hands and we stood staring at one another and smiling like two little kids.

The elder cleared his throat and gestured for everyone to sit.

"Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today, in the presence of the moon goddess and before you, as witnesses to join Scarlet Bloodmoon and Lucian Slivermane for eternity.

Something which should never be entered into lightly, but rather with a healthy reverence for commitment and sacrifice that is needed to maintain and grow the mate bond and you both, as Luna and Alpha, as silvermoon pack.

This love that was birthed from the moment they laid eyes on each other, and has grown to what is before us today. Has reached its truest form.

Their love will continue to be molded, shaped, and built upon as they share their lives with each other and the pack." The elder said making a shiver trickle down my spine.

I felt Lucian squeeze my hands in the "Love You" Sequence, making me smile.

"Lucian Silvermane and Scarlet Bloodmoon have invited us to share in this celebration as they affirm their love before us, pledge their faith to one another.

If there is anyone present who can show just cause why these two wolves may not be joined for eternity, Speak now or..." the elder held his breath and. Me and Lucian were both still looking at each other before the silence went too long. We looked at the elder wondering what was happening. His eyes were as big as saucers and he was absolutely stunned.

I turned my head to look what everyone was gasping about. Two people stood within the massive crowd of seated people. Two people whose faces I knew all too well. "I object" they both said in unison.

Everybody gasped and started talking with each other, whispering and trying to figure out what was happening. This was sabotage.

Riley had a smug face while her father tried to pull her down into a seated position, but she wouldn't budge. She started making her way to the isle before walking up to us.

She was followed by Aiden. I knew Aiden didn't have a foot to stand on but I was nervous in regard to Riley. "Let's discuss this further in privacy" The elder said, gesturing for us to move to the pack house. "Lucian?" I asked, stunned at what might happen. He held tightly onto my hand, leading me towards the pack house.

When we entered the pack house and the doors closed, the elder turned to us "Is there anything you would like to say to each other before I ask the other two?" He said in a respectful manner.

My heart was beating in my throat. "No, Aiden is just an annoying guy who sees me as a trophy that can't take a hint" I said. I could feel Lucian's grip tighten around my hand but not in a hurtful way, more of a protective way.

The elder looked over at Lucian, waiting for him to speak. He shook his head. "Ive already told my mate everything I have nothing to hide" The elder nodded his head before turning towards Aiden and Riley

. "What might be your Just cause for this?" He asked. Riley looked down at her stomach before she rubbed it. I could hear my heart beating in my ears at this point making me feel dizzy

. My eyes shot up and down between her face and her stomach.

"Lucian, I'm pregnant."
