Chapter 89
The wedding day had arrived. Tents were set up outside the majestic mansion to celebrate the ceremony. Invitations had been extended to the alphas of the packs of the two regions, to the members of the colony, and to Morgan, who will bless the union between the alpha and the nymph.
The place was adorned with flowers of multiple colors, specially brought from the Valley of the Fairies. At the time of the ceremony, Perseus was at the altar dressed in an elegant black suit, complemented by a white turtleneck shirt. This outfit had been custom-made by the best tailor Maya could find in Alaska. Living on the edge of the wolf lands, she and her husband Duncan had learned to infiltrate the humans to learn about their ways.
Meanwhile, Eos was in her room, a bundle of nerves, wearing a beautiful white dress adorned with pink floral lace. The veil she wore was a true work of art, with bright colors that evoked the beauty of nature. Out of all the dresses she had been shown, she had chosen the one that the talented seamstresses of the colony had made for her. She looked like a true nymph from fairy tales. His heart skipped a beat when there was a knock on the door.
“My beloved queen, tell me, is my princess ready?” The guests have already arrived and Perseus is impatient at the altar,” Eros asked from the other side of the door. He had been waiting for a while, but every time he knocked on the door and asked, one of the women would reply: “It’s not long now, it’s ready.”
“You are beautiful, daughter. It’s time for us to get out,” Danna said, hugging her daughter with affection and emotion.
“Yes, Mommy. Thank you for helping me,” Eos blurted out, holding back tears.
“You’re my puppy and I’ll always be here for you,” Danna said with a smile dedicated to her daughter, then walked to the door and turned the handle.
When the door opened and Eros saw his daughter, his heart was filled with excitement and nostalgia. Tears welled up in her eyes as she saw her dressed as a bride, confirming that her beloved little girl was about to start a family of her own and leave the safety of her pack behind. Danna, noticing Eros’ expression, tried to lighten the mood with an amused voice.
“My love don’t make our puppy cry. This is a day to celebrate that a new stage of your life is about to begin. She walked up to him and gave him a hug.
“You are right, my queen. I can’t help but make my heart go down.” He pulled away from Danna, walked over to his daughter, and looked at her lovingly.
“You’re beautiful. To me, you’ll always be my puppy, like the first time I saw you.
“Handsome Daddy, you will always be my hero, and I will always thank the goddess Selene for being that loving father,” he let out a mischievous smile, “and spoiled who did what I asked of him.
“Oh, my child, it was the least I could do for not being in your first years of life. You know that you and Eda will always be my little princesses. Now come on, it won’t take long for your alpha to come and get you.
Eos smiled and grabbed the arm his father was offering him. They left the room, went downstairs, and walked to the outside of the mansion.
The nymph walked gracefully towards the altar; she looked like a goddess. Everyone’s jaws were open because of how the butterflies held her veil. The guests smiled and applauded; the people of the pack celebrated that the queen of the nymphs was their Moon. The elders were intoxicated with joy because they lived through the tyranny of Edon and felt that, at last, their pack was blessed by a benevolent alpha leader and now their Moon was the queen of the forest. Now they would be an invincible and prosperous herd.
Perseus could not contain his joy. When Eos and his father came to his side, he could only say.
“The goddess Selene has been too good to me, giving me the fairest of nymphs.
Eros shook his daughter’s hand and answered.
“I hope you’ll take care of it as your greatest treasure.”
“So it shall be, my lord. I will take care of and love your daughter, so I stayed alive.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Eos and Perseus looked into each other’s eyes, and the connection between them was remarkable to those present. Morgan began the ceremony.
The couple began to say vows of love, beginning with Perseus.
“I, Perseus Willfon, alpha of the pack, Vilkas, swear to you, my nymph Eos, Queen of the nymphs and Moon of my pack, that I will watch over you and protect you for the rest of my life. I will be faithful to your body and soul, I will love you until the goddess Selene decides that I am in the land of the wolves, and wait for you in the afterlife to be together again and love you forever,” she said from the depths of her heart, as she slipped the white diamond-encrusted rose gold ring on her nymph’s delicate finger.
Eos wanted to cry as he felt the immense energy of love flowing from Perseus’ words. His heart was pounding with emotion and gratitude, he had to sigh several times before he could articulate his words.
“I, Eos Queen of nymphs and magical beings, swear to you, Alpha Perseus of the Vilkas pack, that I will love, respect, and care for you with all my life. Together we will defeat the enemies that appear. I promise to be a good Moon to you and our Vilkas pack. When I’m no longer in these lands, I’ll wait for you or you’ll wait for me in the afterlife to continue loving us,” he said in a firm, sincere voice, sliding the white diamond-encrusted rose gold ring onto Perseus’ finger. Both rings were identical, with the same initials on each.
Immediately, everyone applauded, and Morgan had to wave his hands to calm the crowd, because the ceremony wasn’t over. There was emotional laughter from some and tears of melancholy from others.
“Relatives and loved ones of the bride and groom, they have not yet finished getting married,” with a smile, he finished saying, “the blessing of the goddess Selene is still missing. He turned his gaze to the bride and groom. Now, Alpha Perseus, and Luna Eos of the Vilkas pack, I declare you husband and wife, and may the blessing of the goddess Selene always accompany you and guide you on the new path together that you will forge from today on. May happiness reign in your hearts and your home. With a beaming smile, he finished. Alpha Perseus, you can now kiss your wife.
Perseus, shocked, hugged his beautiful nymph, then gave her a tender kiss full of emotion and feelings. But they were interrupted. The first to arrive was Eros, who hugged his princess in euphoria, and then Draco congratulating his son.
After the ceremony, all the guests went to the other side of the oak trees. The trees swayed gently back and forth in the garden, where flowers danced in the air and old oaks sported a vivid green. The scene was a spectacle of beauty and tranquility.
The herd and the guests were amazed by the variety of colors that unfolded before their eyes. It was a real sight to see the flowers and butterflies dancing in the air, creating a truly wonderful atmosphere.
As the bride and groom danced, Eros approached Danna, who had tears in her eyes.
“My beloved queen don’t cry. We should be happy because our first puppy is on the road to happiness, just like we did,” she whispered fondly.
“I’m crying tears of happiness. The goddess Selene blessed our puppy with a good alpha from our family. We hope that Eda manages to find her way and that the goddess Selene will be kind to her, guiding her to the wolf that makes her happy.
“So it will be, my queen, our daughters will be happy, just as you and I are,” Eros replied tenderly.
They were hugging each other as they watched the bride and groom perform their first dance as a married couple, feeling fulfilled as they watched their little girl, who was now a woman, begin her own life away from them. Love and hope filled their hearts.
