Alpha Bane's POV
The Wedding Day
"Everyone… The groom!"
The entire place went into an uproar as everyone clapped and cheered. I waved at them in acknowledgement with a huge smile on my face.
"It's finally happening," Donald said to me with a huge grin on his face. "Princess Aurora is finally yours."
"Not yet," I countered. "She's not here yet, is she? Let us be patient. It's best not to get too excited until the main thing."
He just patted me on the back and shook his head at my perceived lack of optimism. Yet, I was very optimistic. I was so sure that the wedding was going to be very successful if it were just for Aurora. She wanted the wedding and I wasn't scared of any sort of rejection at all. She was never going to do that.
What I was concerned about was the attack. I knew so well that my father had told me that they weren't going to attack us on my wedding day but it was only speculation. It was perhaps, intelligent speculation, but it was speculation all the same. There was no guarantee that they weren't going to show up.
Because of that, I had ordered the entire Pack to be protected by numerous guards, starting from our borders. If they decided to change their minds, I wanted them to meet a fight and so although they'd have been able to break through, they were going to lose a lot of men too, making it a bit easier for us to hold our ground and even defeat them in the end.
Much more protected was the Castle hall, where the wedding was taking place. It was guarded by numerous guards, especially those that had a very great experience in wars. If it was a war that they wanted, we were well covered, although we weren't as prepared as we should have been.
I turned around to see how the crowd felt. Everyone looked so happy as they all seemed to be having a great time. I loved that. It showed that everything was going according to plan.
In a few minutes, everywhere went silent as it was time for the bride to walk in. "Let us all clap and scream as the bride makes her way here, to this pulpit, so that the couple can exchange their vows."
Everyone clapped furiously as she got done with her speech as we all waited anxiously for Aurora.
I wondered what outfit she was going to wear and how beautiful she'd look in it. My heart raced so fast in anticipation. I couldn't wait to set my eyes on her.
"Hey, calm down, my Alpha," Donald said to me as he patted my shoulder. He probably saw the tension that was radiating off me.
Not wanting to look weak in front of him or anyone else, I just laughed and shrugged it off. "I'm alright, man," I said to him. "No problems at all."
The doors of the hall suddenly went right open and I saw Aurora, bathed in a glow of sun rays as she stood, dressed in the most gorgeous white gown that I had ever set my eyes on, with her mother by her side.
She held a flower bouquet in her hands and as usual, she looked so beautiful. Her beauty was so much that I nearly lost myself as I stared at her.
My heart twinged as she took her first step toward the pulpit where I stood and then looked up at me as our gazes locked.

Aurora's POV
As soon as I took my first step, I looked to the pulpit where I was supposed to head to and my eyes immediately fell on Alpha Bane, who was already looking in my direction.
