Chapter 59: It’s a promise!
Selene POV
"I accept you, Selene Thorne, as my fated mate and Luna," Noah slipped the diamond-crusted ring on my finger.
It was my turn now... I could feel the sea of eyes watching us from the crowd...most especially, Noah’s side of the family. They were all tall, beautiful, stately and regal. And they carried themselves well.
Since they arrived at Moon Whispers a few days ago, I have been gripped with anxiety because they weren’t talking to me, so it was difficult to know if they were condemning me or not but I knew for sure that they weren’t happy with me.
Nora, Xavier’s mother flew in yesterday... after all, it was the wedding of her brother, so she was supposed to be here. We weren’t the best of friends before... and I’ve only met her a couple of times.
I knew she didn’t like me... I had seen the reservations in her eyes from the first day I was introduced as Xavier’s fated mate to her and I feel that the only reason she allowed our marriage was because it was essential. I didn’t have the kind of grace or capacity of the kind of woman they usually married.
Noah had assured me several times that his family had accepted the union wholeheartedly and that was how they were.
"We aren’t a big fan of all smiles and love," he had said yesterday "Don’t worry, everything will be fine, my love,".
I had thought so too... but standing in front of Noah and the joining priest in the presence of Lycans, Alphas and the entire pack, I knew I had made a mistake.
I knew no one... not even my children who looked beautiful in their little bridesmaid dress was in support of our wedding. Reid, Noah’s Beta wasn’t even bothering to show his clear disdain of me... I could see the heated looks every member of the pack was sending my way.
The only person in this room that was in support of our union was Noah himself. I could feel how happy he was. I could tell he had been looking forward to this day. Kurtis was right... Xavier’s last words kept ringing in my ears....
