Pursuing My Rejected Alpha

365 The Wedding Ceremony

On the day that Alpha Ronan married Lucien Clearwater, the sun shone brightly in a cloudless blue sky.

An hour before the ceremony started, a light drizzle started pouring from the sky.

Rain and sun. The two elements that nature gave to make the earth bloom with life.

The auspicious weather called all werewolves all over the place to step outside and enjoy the sweet blessings from the Moon Goddess.

Over at the Holy Temple of The Moon Goddess, a grand wedding was about to take place.

The wedding hall that had served as a silent witness to countless Alpha weddings was now bustling with guests from all around the continent.

Those who were required to attend were the Alphas and Betas of all packs, because this wedding ceremony installed someone new to the Luna position.

It was the second most important position in a werewolf pack.

As they said, all good Alphas had supportive Lunas at their back.

.....

While the guests were chattering in a cheerful mood in anticipation of the upcoming ceremony, the wedding parties were able to enjoy neither the magnificent weather nor the celebration.

At least not yet.

They were busy running around to prepare both the Alpha and his Luna for their wedding ceremony.

The Alpha’s side did not require much preparation.

The handsome man only needed to don his ceremonial white robe and he was ready.

Lucien’s side was a different story.

Having had to cope with a lot of fussy prospective Lunas in the years of their flourishing career, the make-up artists were rather frustrated with their client this time around.

Why?

Because they were unable to make Lucien more beautiful than he already was.

With his brilliant pair of caramel-golden eyes, his defined but delicate jawline, and the shimmering red-golden hair that framed his face, he looked as handsome as any man could be.

No powder could make his fair skin glow more.

No lip coloring could make the twin flower petals that made up his lips more captivating.

In the end, they had to be satisfied with just working on Lucien’s wedding robe.

Male Lunas were rare, so the female wedding robes with the intricate design that all Lunas wore during their wedding ceremonies had to be altered to fit him.

The feminine frills were cut off and replaced with elegant embroideries that were made using golden and silver threads.

Long sleeves were added to the sleeveless design, and the long skirt was replaced with a pair of white pants.

The end result was breathtaking.

The white robe perfectly accentuated his slender body and highlighted the man’s beautiful curves.

It was unclear whether the robe was that nicely altered or that Lucien simply looked good in anything.

If people asked Alpha Annalynne from the Silent Walkers Pack, she would say that it was definitely the second one.

As soon as she saw her brother in his wedding robe, she could not stop gushing about her brother’s beauty.

“Oh Goddess,” she broke into tears and started sobbing now and then. “Lulu, you are the MOST BEAUTIFUL Luna I have EVER seen!”

Lucien chuckled.

“And you will make the most beautiful Alpha on your wedding day, more beautiful than anyone that ever walked down the aisle.”

Annalynne blushed profusely.

“Never! I will never look as good as you!”

“Silly, you already look as good as me. We are twins, remember?”

While the siblings praised each other to the moon and back, Alice Clearwater narrowed her eyes at her children from the other side of the room.

The elder woman cleared her throat and asked her daughter in a stern voice, “Anna, what are you doing here? Your place is in the ceremony hall with other Alphas and Betas.”

“But Mom, look at Lulu! He’s so pretty! I cannot just wait there if I can take a look at him!”

Alice sighed.

“You need to learn from Kendra. Look, she is obediently waiting in the...”

Before the elder woman ended her sentence, Kendra came rushing in with a bouquet of fresh white lilies.

“Lucien! Here is your bouquet! I had the flowers re-cut and re-arranged. Glad that I made it!”

“...”

“Oh, Mrs. Clearwater, hi...”

Alice retracted her statement immediately.

She glowered at both Annalynne and Kendra in bewilderment.

“Out, out, the two of you! Behave like proper Alpha and Beta! Go wait with the others in the hall!”

“Aaaaaaaw...” they groaned in unison.

Annalynne’s and Kendra’s faces were crumpled in dissatisfaction.

Nevertheless, they obediently headed to the hall, where everyone waited to witness the grand wedding of Alpha Ronan Silverback, who, after years of maintaining the irredeemable philanderer reputation, was finally going to take a wife.

The hall had walls made of thousands of colorful stones. The middle part of the dome-like ceiling was replaced with an array of stained glass. The bright sunlight that fell upon it bathed those underneath in a multitude of colors.

In this case, it was Ronan Silverback. The colorful light that fell on him hid the true color of his face.

That was good, because the Alpha was quite nervous.

The years of longing, the months of anticipation, and the days of planning had finally led to this one day, this one morning.

He and Lucien were about to get married.

Standing alone at the center of the elevated platform, he could not wait for the ceremony to begin.

He kept looking at the hall entrance, hoping that Lucien would appear soon to relieve his anxiety.

After waiting for what felt like an eternity, soft piano music in accompaniment of violin started to play from the back of the room.

Ronan and the guests held their breath when the Luna in question finally made his appearance.

When Lucien emerged from the shadowed entrance of the hall, Ronan’s heart almost stopped beating.

The red-blond man solemnly entered the hall with a bouquet of white lilies clasped in his hands.

The tail of his robe dragged elegantly behind him as he moved at a steady pace toward his future husband.

As he passed through the rows and rows of guests, he kept his head lowered demurely. Once he reached the center of the hall, he lifted his eyes and looked at the Alpha.

‘You are finally here.’

‘I am.’
